We Are in Age of ‘Late Great Depression’: Shiller  CNBC.com | The world is in a state of “late Great Depression,” well-known economist and author Robert Shiller told CNBC Monday. [ Indeed we are! And, one for which there’s no historical comparison in terms of magnitude; nor will there be a retracement / coming back from this one owing to huge frauds, excessive fiat paper money printing, an enormous fraudulent bubble, and a time constraint that precludes same, along with insurmountable debt. ]

The mythical part is the presumption of rationality accorded the ‘market-makers’ which, despite their glaring irrationality and propensity for fraud (I’d conservatively say that wall street is comprised predominantly, I’d estimate 90%, of psycho/sociopathic personalities), is still decidedly and pathetically vis-à-vis the rest of the ‘go along to get along’ world, criminally insane wall street. { The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed!  Train Reading: The Stock Market Is (Criminally) Insane The Wall Street Journal  } It should be obvious by now, particularly with the advent of ubiquitous, lightning fast programmed computerization, that the markets are fraudulently manipulated in a bigger way now than ever; and, not without great cost ultimately to muppets / taxpayers like you, whether in the markets or not.They do it for the money; and, sick as they are, to be screwin’ at least someone all of the time which perversely gives them pleasure!  ] This is an especially great opportunity to sell / take profits with stocks floating on air in contraindicated ‘Weimar dollar bubble rally’ as preceded last crash. Suckers’ rally into the close off lows and in shades of the dot com bubble with Apple the fraudulent stock market’s one-trick pony (‘in play’, pricey, big weighting and big bang for the market buck, and compared to what). Competition will ultimately (no real breakthroughs on horizon) take a big bite out of the Apple, which along with price targets is way over valued (currently being manipulated to the upside by the ‘muppet masters’ given the 20% weighting for maximum fraudulent effect). I say this despite liking Apple. They’re loving Apple to death on fraudulent wall street which is a testament to the pathetic state of american and world technology which is horrendous. As my first computer (Apple IIc, 1986) I’m glad they survived but they’re way, way over-valued. Aside from the IPAD (at best and even that’s a stretch, and past history at that), there’s really nothing there, which is a testament to the stupidity of american consumers particularly. Wake up!

Did you know that prior weekly Jobless Claims data has been revised higher 100% of the time over the past two years?

Sounds like it; but, it’s really all about cost structures which are far less in China which is the primary reason for China’s export success. Manipulation of currencies is an artifice that the west will ultimately prove does not work at all (all that over-printing / creating of fiat Weimar paper currencies is a time-tested loser).]Rumor planted by fed of QE3 light spurs rally, not the fake, uneconomic jobs estimate from jersey adp for election year spin purposes which only fools believe. How desperate and pathetic!  For those who think this money-printing out of thin air is without cost, you’re in for a worse than rude awakening. The global markets have become a joke!

Today’s data looked pretty bad to me, even with the manipulations/spin otherwise, ie., Durable goods orders drop by most in 3 years AP , etc.. Then there was previously the manipulated revision to make this month’s distressed, foreclosure sales (backlog) look better. Total scam!

Frontline On Financial FraudThe Financial Crisis Never Ended’

In one of the most complete documentaries undertaken on the financial crisis, PBS Frontline's "Money, Power, & Wall Street" series stretches from the origins of the credit derivative business with a bikini-clad pool-side Blythe Masters and her JPMorgan colleagues to the scary (but absolutely true) fact that the financial crisis never ended. The four-part series (of which we present the first two below) continues tonight at 730ET and the entire set of 20 in-depth interviews with the various players (from Sheila Bair to Rodgin Cohen with a smattering of Jared Bernstein and Dick Fisher in between)  can be found here. A must-watch series from beginning to end to get a grasp of how we got here (despite what Chairman Greenspan told us all this morning), where exactly we are now (in spite of today's FTMFW ISM print), and what we can expect in the next few years.

Collateral matters when it comes to assessing the value of the debt. If a bank lists the mortgages in its "assets" column at full value even though the underlying collateral (the houses) has lost much of their value, then the bank is grossly over-estimating the value and security of the mortgage. The bank's "assets" are based on phantom collateral. Take away $1 in collateral and you impair $4, $10, $20 or even $30 of debt. Recall that the vast majority of real estate equity and financial wealth is owned by the top 20%, with the majority of that concentrated in the top 5%. That means the bottom 80% own little collateral to leverage into debt. How about leveraging income into more debt? Since the top 10% receive almost 50% of the income, and most of the bottom 90%'s income goes to non-discretionary spending and taxes, then only the top 10% have discretionary income that can be leveraged into more debt. , The ISM Print Through The Eyes Of A Trading Algo Since nobody else is trading anything today, we wanted to show readers, courtesy of Nanex, just how it is that the only market participants in the past year, that would be robots of course, traded the ISM number.

95 Percent Of The Jobs Lost During The Recession Were Middle Class Jobs

http://albertpeia.com/95percentofjobslostmiddleclass.htm

 

{ There should be no surprise here; especially in light of specific government policies that made some insiders filthy rich, and as well,  the bailouts that helped the banksters among other frauds at the expense of ‘the many’. }

‘Who is the biggest loser in the ongoing decline of the U.S. economy?  Is it the wealthy?  No, the stock market has been soaring lately and their incomes are actually going up.  Is it the poor?  Well, the poor are definitely hurting very badly, but when you don't have much to begin with you don't have much to lose.  Unfortunately, it is the middle class that has lost the most during this economic downturn.  According to Bloomberg, 95 percent of the jobs lost during the recession were middle class jobs.  That is an absolutely astounding figure.  Yes, some executives lost their jobs during the last recession as did some minimum-wage workers.  But overwhelmingly the jobs that were lost were middle income jobs.  Sadly, the limited number of jobs that have been added since the end of the last recession have mostly been low income jobs.  A higher percentage of Americans are working low income jobs than ever before, and the cost of living continues to rise at a very brisk pace.  This is causing an erosion of the middle class unlike anything we have ever seen in American history.

When I was growing up I was taught that the fact that we had the largest middle class in the history of the world was evidence that our economic system was working incredibly well.

So what does the fact that the middle class is shrinking at a very rapid pace at this point say about how well our economy is working?

Middle Class Incomes Are Going Down

During the last recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs and the percentage of working age Americans that have jobs has not bounced back in the years since the recession ended.

But most middle class Americans still have jobs.  The big problem for many middle class families is the fact that their incomes are not going up.  In fact, after you account for inflation, middle class incomes are actually way down during the Obama years as a recent Bloomberg article explained....

As a candidate in 2008, Obama blamed the reversals largely on the policies of Bush and other Republicans. He cited census figures showing that median income for working-age households -- those headed by someone younger than 65 -- had dropped more than $2,000 after inflation during the first seven years of Bush’s time in office.

Yet real median household income in March was down $4,300 since Obama took office in January 2009 and down $2,900 since the June 2009 start of the economic recovery, according to an analysis of census data by Sentier Research, an economic- consulting firm in Annapolis, Maryland.

So is this the "hope and change" that Obama was talking about?

But let's not just blame Obama and Bush.  The truth is that the trend toward lower paying jobs has been going on for a very long time.

Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

So where will it end?

Will 50 percent or 60 percent of all Americans soon be working low income jobs?

At this point, approximately one out of every four jobs in America pays $10 an hour or less.

Could your family survive on $10 an hour?

The Rising Cost Of Living

As middle class incomes go down, the cost of almost everything that middle class families buy continues to go up.

The Federal Reserve claims that it has kept inflation "low" for decades, but that is a giant lie.

When you take a look at the long-term picture, it is amazing how much prices have changed.

Back in 1950, the average price of a new car was $1,510.

Today, the average price of a new car is $30,748.

In 1967, yearly tuition at Yale was $1,950.

Today it is $38,300.

And inflation continues to take a great toll on the paychecks of middle class families.

For example, electricity bills in the U.S. have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row.

Also, the price of gas has risen by more than 100 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House and the average U.S. household spent a staggering $4,155 on gasoline during 2011.

The Destruction Of Middle Class Wealth

What is the number one financial asset for most middle class families?

Most middle class families don't have a lot of stocks, bonds or other financial assets.

Instead, normally the family home is the number one financial asset for most middle class families, and in recent years the value of that asset has been absolutely decimated.

When you take inflation into account, housing prices have fallen all the way back to 1998 levels.  The following is from a recent Smart Money article....

The latest S&P / Case-Shiller numbers, reported last week, show that prices in 20 major markets declined 3.5% over the year through February. They're now back to 2002 levels. If we subtract for inflation, they're back to 1998 levels.

Overall, home prices in the U.S. have declined for six months in a row and are now down a total of 35 percent from the peak of the housing bubble.

Unfortunately, things don't look like they are going to turn around any time soon.  Yale economics professor Robert Shiller recently said the following about U.S. home prices....

"I worry that we might not see a really major turnaround in our lifetimes"

But falling home prices are not the only problem we are witnessing.  We are also seeing millions of middle class families lose their homes.

According to the U.S. Census, homeownership in America is now at the lowest level it has been in 15 years.

According to Gallup, the current level of homeownership in the United States is the lowest that Gallup has ever measured.

Owning your own home is an indication that you are part of the middle class, and so the fact that the number of Americans that own a home is falling rapidly is not a good sign for the health of the middle class at all.

The Future Is Not Bright

Those that are graduating from college right now are supposed to be the future of the middle class in America.

But for most of those college graduates, the future is not so bright.  Last year, a staggering 53 percent of all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed.

Millions of young college graduates have been forced to take jobs that do not even require a college degree.  Just check out the following stats from a recent CNBC article....

In the last year, they were more likely to be employed as waiters, waitresses, bartenders and food-service helpers than as engineers, physicists, chemists and mathematicians combined (100,000 versus 90,000). There were more working in office-related jobs such as receptionist or payroll clerk than in all computer professional jobs (163,000 versus 100,000).

Aren't those numbers crazy?

The truth is that a college education is no longer a ticket to the middle class.

What Happens To Americans That Fall Out Of The Middle Class?

As the middle class shrinks, the ranks of the "low income" and "the poor" are absolutely swelling.

Today, approximately 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be "low income" or are living in poverty.

That is almost half the country.

Each year, millions more fall out of the middle class.  In 2010, 2.6 million more Americans fell into poverty.  That was the biggest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

As the middle class shrinks, the number of Americans dependent on the government for survival rises.  Right now, government dependence is at an all-time high and things are only going to get worse from here.

In November 2008 (when Barack Obama won the election), 30.8 million Americans were on food stamps.  Today, more than 46 million Americans are on food stamps.

Will we eventually see 50 million or 60 million Americans on food stamps?

The U.S. economy desperately needs more middle class jobs.

Unfortunately, the Republicans failed to generate them under George W. Bush and the Democrats failed to generate them under Barack Obama.

Instead, both parties continue to promote the politics of division and they both continue to push for more of the same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

Nothing is being done to solve our problems and so the middle class in America is going to be even smaller by this time next year.

If you still have a spot in the middle class, hold on to it as tightly as you can.  It is not as secure as you might think.’

Why? - 21 Unanswered Questions That They Don't Want You To Look Into

http://albertpeia.com/21unansweredquestions.htm

{These are 21 for sure; yet, if it was only 21, there’d be at least a semblance of hope. New study: High U.S. debt levels could mean a quarter century of weak growth (The American Enterprise Institute) [ That’s optimistic; and towards the end there at best! Remember: Decades at Best! ] , Total US Debt Soars To 101.5% Of GDP

Do you ever get the feeling that the mainstream media is feeding you a very watered-down and twisted version of the news?  Do you ever get the feeling that the federal government does not believe that the American people can actually be trusted with the truth?  It is exasperating to realize that the news that the public is being fed every single day is very heavily filtered and very heavily censored.  In a world where "spin" is everything, simply telling the truth is a revolutionary act.  Fortunately, the Internet has helped fuel the rise of the alternative media, and millions of Americans that are starting to wake up are turning to the alternative media for answers to their unanswered questions.  Increasingly, people are becoming willing to question the orthodoxy that is being shoved down their throats by the major news networks, and that is a very good thing.  The world is becoming an incredibly unstable place, and it is more imperative than ever that we all learn to think for ourselves.  We live during a time of great deception, and the lies are going to get even bigger and even more bold in the years to come.  If we don't know why we believe what we believe, then we are in danger of falling for just about anything.

It is those that seek the truth that end up finding it.  If you just accept the version of reality that the system wants to feed you, then you are probably going to become what the system wants you to become.

But if you are not afraid to question everything, then you will have a chance to become everything that you were always meant to be.

So what are some things that we should be questioning right now?

The following are 21 unanswered questions that they don't want you to look into....

#1 Why is the TSA being allowed to conduct warrantless searches at bus stations and train stations all over America?  According to an article in the Guardian, the following motto is displayed at the TSA's air marshal training center: "Dominate. Intimidate. Control."  Why is there no outrage over this?

#2 Why does the TSA believe that it is necessary to pat-down a 7-year-old girl with cerebral palsy?  Does touching the private areas of disabled little girls really improve our national security?

#3 Why does the Department of Homeland Security need Predator-B drones to patrol the border between the United States and Canada?

#4 Why is a militarized "Red Zone" being set up in Chicago three weeks prior to the upcoming NATO summit on May 20th and 21st?

#5 Why is the Milwaukee Red Cross being told to prepare for an evacuation of Chicago?

#6 Why is cesium-137 from the Fukushima nuclear disaster still showing up in milk in Montpelier, Vermont?  The following is from a recent Forbes article....

Radiation from Japan has been detected in drinking water in 13 more American cities, and cesium-137 has been found in American milk—in Montpelier, Vermont—for the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday.

#7 Why is there such little uproar over CISPA?  CISPA is going to allow companies to share our private online information with the government almost at will.  The following is from an article posted on the website of the Electronic Frontier Foundation....

CISPA creates an exception to all privacy laws to permit companies to share our information with each other and with the government in the name of cybersecurity. ... CISPA’s ‘information sharing’ regime allows the transfer of vast amounts of data, including sensitive information like internet use history or the content of emails, to any agency in the government including military and intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command. Once in government hands, this information can be used for any non-regulatory purpose so long as one significant purpose is for cybersecurity or to protect national security.

#8 Why aren't more people in the mainstream media alarmed that the economies of 11 different western nations have plunged into recession?

#9 Why did an ounce of gold only cost $58 in 1972 but it costs more than $1660 today?

#10 Why has the median price of a new home risen from $17,200 in 1963 to $212,000 today?

#11 Why are so many banks issuing credit cards that can have information silently stolen off of them by any thief that is willing to invest in a contactless credit card reader?

#12 Why have most Americans never even heard of the University of Pittsburgh study that found that common vaccines that we give our children produce autism-like symptoms in monkeys?

#13 Why is Wall Street laying off thousands of workers if the economy is getting better?

#14 Why has Spain banned all cash transactions over 2,500 euros?

#15 Why is there such a push to get more kids to go to college if most college graduates cannot find a decent job once they graduate?  Why is Mitt Romney telling young Americans to borrow money from their parents to get the education that they "need"?

#16 Why does the mainstream media in America almost completely ignore the brutal terror attacks that happen regularly in many countries in Africa?  For example, just the other day more than a dozen Christians were killed by a terror attack in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.  Back in January, nearly 200 were killed in coordinated attacks in that same city.  So why does the U.S. media very rarely ever talk about this?

#17 Why was a radical activist who once stated that he "wished all Republicans were ****ing dead" invited to speak at the National High School Journalism Convention?  Is it any surprise that he declared to his audience of high school students that we should all "learn to ignore the bulls— in the Bible"?

#18 Why did Barack Obama recently update an old executive order so that now he will be able to take charge of all food, all energy, all health resources and all transportation resources in the United States even in "non-emergency" situations?

#19 Why are federal government agencies stockpiling massive amounts of food and ammunition?  Do they know something that we don't?

#20 Why will a mysterious Spanish company be reporting the election results for hundreds of U.S. jurisdictions on election day 2012?

#21 Why do "scientific reports" that proclaim that there is a desperate need for global population control get very prominent coverage in newspapers all over the western world?’

“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).

Rosenberg Takes On The Student Loan Bubble, And The 1937-38 Collape; Summarizes The Big Picture

Few have been as steadfast in their correct call that the US economy sugar high of the first quarter was nothing but a liquidity-driven, hot weather-facilitated uptick in the economy, which has now ended with a thud, as seen by the recent epic collapse in all high-frequency economic indicators, which have not translated into a market crash simply because the market is absolutely convinced that the worse things get, the more likely the Fed is to come in with another round of nominal value dilution. Perhaps: it is unclear if the Fed will risk a spike in inflation in Q2 especially since as one of the respondents in today's Chicago PMI warned very prudently that Chinese inflation is about to hit America in the next 60 days. That said, here are some of today's must read observations on where we stand currently, on why 1937-38 may be the next imminent calendar period deja vu, and most importantly, the fact that Rosie now too has realized that the next credit bubble is student debt as we have been warning since last summer.

“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).

25 Horrible Statistics About The U.S. Economy That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To Know
http://albertpeia.com/25horriblestatsaboutuseconomyobamahides.htm
{ Actually, worse than self-delusion, it’s actually overtly fraudulent in their election year desperation what the obama administration et als are doing to cover up their unequivocal incompetence and failure! }

’The human capacity for self-delusion truly is remarkable.  Most people out there end up believing exactly what they want to believe even when the truth is staring them right in the face.  Take the U.S. economy for example.  Barack Obama wants to believe that his policies have worked and that the U.S. economy is improving.  So that is what he is telling the American people.  The mainstream media wants to believe that Barack Obama is a good president and that his policies make sense and so they are reporting that we are experiencing an economic recovery.  A very large segment of the U.S. population still fully supports Barack Obama and they want to believe that the economy is getting better so they are buying the propaganda that the mainstream media is feeding them.  But is the U.S. economy really improving?  The truth is that it is not.  The rate of employment among working age Americans is exactly where it was two years ago and household incomes have actually gone down while Obama has been president.  Home ownership levels and home prices continue to decline.  Meanwhile, food and gasoline continue to become even more expensive.  The percentage of Americans that are dependent on the government is at an all-time record high and the U.S. national debt has risen by more than 5 trillion dollars under Obama.  We simply have not seen the type of economic recovery that we have seen after every other economic recession since World War II. The horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that you are about to read are not talked about much by the mainstream media.  They would rather be "positive" and "upbeat" about the direction that things are headed. But lying to the American people is not going to help them.  If you are speeding in a car toward a 500 foot cliff, you don't need someone to cheer you on.  Instead, you need someone to slam on the brakes. The cold, hard reality of the matter is that the U.S. economy is in far worse shape than it was four or five years ago. We have never come close to recovering from the last recession and another one will be here soon. The following are 25 horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that Barack Obama does not want you to know.... 1-25

 

Big GDP Miss: 2.2% Vs Expectations Of 2.5%, Composition Even Uglier ,  Chart Of The Day: Change In Q1 American Debt And GDP Presented without much commentary, because little is necessary: the only ratio that matters for the US economy, the change in US public debt ($359.1 billion) and US GDP ($142.4) in the first quarter, hit 2.52x and rising. It takes $2.52 in new debt to "buy" $1 of economic "growth" . { Most importantly, we’ve seen the insurmountable results of their fraudulent obfuscation: Guest Post: Social Security Has A Real Problem

America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’. http://albertpeia.com/anddebtslaveryforall.htm ]

The Social Security Administration made an alarming announcement recently that they will exhaust their funding capability by 2033 which was several years earlier than originally projected. As millions of baby boomers approach retirement more strain is put on the fabric of the Social Security system.  The exact timing of this crunch is less important than its inevitability.  The problem that Social Security has is "real" employment.  I say "real" employment simply to sidestep the ongoing arguments about the validity of government employment survey's from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Federal Government receives income from the Social Security "contribution" from employee's paychecks. Social security "contributions" have decreased sharply by almost $70 billion from its peak. This is due to two factors.  The first is that the number of "real" employees, while growing, is in lower income producing and temporary jobs. The second factor is that a larger share of personal incomes is made up of government benefits which does not affect social security contributions. The entire social support framework faces an inevitable conclusion and no amount of wishful thinking will change that.

Bill Gross On Europe's Dysfunction And US Double-Dips

PIMCO's Bill Gross spent a longer-than-soundbite period discussing QE3, the chance of a US double-dip, and Europe's ongoing dysfunction with Trish Regan on Bloomberg Television this afternoon. Given more than his typically limited-to-ten-second thoughts some other media outlets appear to prefer, the old-new-normal-bond-king believes the Fed will resist another round of quantitative easing in the short-term but "if unemployment begins to rise for two-to-three months then QE3 is back on". Noting that investors should focus on nominal GDP growth tomorrow, he goes on to dismiss the idea that the US can decouple from a troubled Europe pointing the political dysfunction between the Germans and the rest as greater than the polarity between Democrats and Republicans here at home. Preferring to play a slightly levered long bet on low rates holding for a longer-period, he like MBS (as we have discussed in the past) but does not see the 10Y yield dropping precipitously from here though he does echo our thoughts entirely in his view of the 'flow' being more critical than the 'stock' when it comes to the Fed's balance sheet and hence the June end-of-Twist may be a volatile period for all asset classes.

‘At least one analyst is bucking the trend of gushing over Apple. Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech companies within the next four years unless it finds another "special, magical" leader like Steve Jobs.

Colony's position couldn't be more contrarian. Apple just reported record March quarter profits while selling tens of millions of its iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. In the past few months, other analysts have been jockeying to tout Apple's share price, currently at just over $600 per share, for gains past the $800, $900, and even $1,000 threshold.

But if Apple's riding high now, that's not going to last, according to Colony.

"Apple will decline in the post Steve Jobs era," he writes, explaining that Apple under Jobs fit the bill as a "charismatic organization ... headed by people with the 'gift of grace'." Succession in such an organization is particularly difficult because while bureaucratic and traditional organizations have processes and rituals to elevate new leadership, "[i]n charismatic organizations, the magical leader must be succeeded by another charismatic—the emotional connection of employees and (in the case of Apple) customers demands it."

Colony quotes liberally from Max Weber's The Theory of Social and Economic Organization and Adam Lashinky's Inside Apple to build his case that Apple will "coast" over the next 24 to 48 months and "then decelerate."

What about the processes Jobs himself put in place at Apple to ensure that his vision and management style would endure at the company after he was gone? Apple University and other company initiatives fostered by Jobs won't do the trick, Colony claims, quoting Weber: "Charisma can only be awakened and tested, it cannot be learned or taught."

Colony argues that Jobs' successor, Tim Cook, has a "legal/bureaucratic approach" to leading Apple that "will prove to be a mismatch for an organization that feeds off the gift of grace." Instead of Cook, the company should turn to Jonathan Ive or Scott Forstall to be CEO, the analyst writes.

If Apple doesn't get another magical charismatic leader, Colony concludes, it risks turning into Sony after Akio Morita or Polaroid post-Edwin Land—a company that goes from great to merely good in a few short years./

Just As Predicted, Initial Claims Miss Huge, Yet Magically Improve Recall what we said less than an hour ago: "what will most likely happen is a print in the mid to upper 380,000s, while last week's number will be revised to a 390K+ print, allowing the media to once again declare that the number was an improvement week over week. In other words, SSDD." SSDD it is: last week's 386K number was revised to 389K, meaning the massive miss relative to expectations of 370K last week just got even worse. This is the 10th week in a row of misses to the weaker side and the 16th of the last 18. And while this week's miss was whopping as usual, with expectations of 375K being soundly missed after the print came at 388K on its way back to 400K, the media can sleep soundly because the absolute lack of BLS propaganda means that the sequential progression is one of, you got it, improvement. In other words here is what the headlines in the Mainstream Media will be: "Initial claims improve over prior week." In fact here it is from Bloomberg: "U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Fell 1,000 to 388,000 Last Week." ..No propaganda. No data fudging. No manipulation at all.

4-25-12 5 New Lies That The Federal Reserve Is Telling The American People  http://albertpeia.com/5newliesbythefed.htm http://albertpeia.com/fraudulentfedhasfailed.htm  { Yes, it’s really rather incredible, even astounding, that people even listen to, much less believe the proven lies, wrong information, disinformation that bespeaks fraud/deception/cover-up and at best, total incompetence. Don’t they realize they’re being scammed in a very big way; particularly, with an election year predisposed pro-wobama obfuscation? Bernanke is a total fraud. He is totally incompetent! As I wrote, infra, as comment to Dave Fry’s Summary:  the same helicopter ben who forecast no recession and whose QEs have helped no one but the frauds on wall street, with fake numbers on what is in reality much higher inflation, unemployment, etc., for obfuscation – you cannot solve a problem without admitting there is one, let alone failing to identify the problem; and with america’s insurmountable debt and debased Weimar fiat paper currency over-printing, that huge extant problem is substantially exacerbated. { Britain slides back into recession AFP Britain was back in recession Wednesday after its economy shrank in the first quarter while Prime Minister David Cameron said the country was being buffetted by the European downturn [ True, but only because unlike the u.s., their reporting is a bit more accurate/truthful, less manipulated, less fraudulent than america which has already entered (the continuing) recession (actually dollar debased and thereby, can you believe it, inflationary depression) UK Economy Double Dips For First Time Since 1970s  } ]  {  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 .. “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..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..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’ }  [ Now we know the reason for bernanke’s pro-wobama politicking: Reuters:  Mitt Romney says he would boot Ben Bernanke - The Trail The likely Republican nominee says, “I’d be looking for somebody new” to run the Federal Reserve if he’s elected president. Romney criticized Fed Chairman Bernanke for printing too much money in a bid to stimulate the economy. (April 25, 2012) Drudgereport: Romney would boot Ben... And, not only because bernanke as has obama failed miserably; good, sound management all but requires that he do so (as per the late Peter Drucker among the multitude of Management experts). Wobama, the lazy jive-talking b***s*** artist, despite campaign rhetoric to the contrary, literally continued all things dumbya bush. ]‘The Federal Reserve says that everything is going to be okay.  The Fed says that unemployment is going to go down, inflation is going to remain low and economic growth is going to steadily increase.  Do you believe them this time?  As you will see later in this article, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has been dead wrong about the economy over and over again.  But the mainstream media and many Americans still seem to have a lot of faith in the Federal Reserve.  It doesn't seem to matter that Bernanke and other Fed officials have been telling the American people lies for years.  As I always say, most people believe what they want to believe, and many people seem to want to have blind faith in the Federal Reserve even when logic and reason would dictate otherwise.  The truth is that things are not going to be getting much better than they are right now.  When the next wave of the financial crisis hits, the U.S. economy is going to fall back into recession, financial markets are going to crash and unemployment is going to absolutely skyrocket.  But you will never hear any of that from the Federal Reserve. The following are 5 new lies that the Federal Reserve is telling the American people.  After each lie I have posted what The Economic Collapse Blog thinks is actually going to happen....’ http://albertpeia.com/benbsshalombernankesellsfedpansgoldstandard.htm http://albertpeia.com/22redflagsofdoomforglobalfinancialmarkets.htm , Dave Fry: ‘Did you know during the 2008 bear market nearly 50% of earnings reports beat estimates.’

 { Yes, it’s really rather incredible, even astounding, that people even listen to, much less believe the proven lies, wrong information, disinformation that bespeaks fraud/deception/cover-up and at best, total incompetence. Don’t they realize they’re being scammed in a very big way; particularly, with an election year predisposed pro-wobama obfuscation? Bernanke is a total fraud. He is totally incompetent! As I wrote, infra, as comment to Dave Fry’s Summary:  the same helicopter ben who forecast no recession and whose QEs have helped no one but the frauds on wall street, with fake numbers on what is in reality much higher inflation, unemployment, etc., for obfuscation – you cannot solve a problem without admitting there is one, let alone failing to identify the problem; and with america’s insurmountable debt and debased Weimar fiat paper currency over-printing, that huge extant problem is substantially exacerbated. { Britain slides back into recession AFP Britain was back in recession Wednesday after its economy shrank in the first quarter while Prime Minister David Cameron said the country was being buffetted by the European downturn [ True, but only because unlike the u.s., their reporting is a bit more accurate/truthful, less manipulated, less fraudulent than america which has already entered (the continuing) recession (actually dollar debased and thereby, can you believe it, inflationary depression) UK Economy Double Dips For First Time Since 1970s  } ]  {  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 .. “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..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..is now more than 11%.

Guest Post: Charles Krauthammer Mourns Over NASA Cuts, I Celebrate

Leading neoconservative (read “closet Trotskyite“) commentator Charles Krauthammer’s latest Washington Post editorial pays homage to the glory days of NASA and the retirement of the space shuttle Discovery.  Titled “Farewell, the New Frontier,” the piece evokes mental images of Uncle Sam losing his international prestige as President Obama scales down NASA’s space exploration endeavors. Contrary to Krauthammer, NASA has never represented America’s collective vision of frontier exploration.  It has been just another bureaucratic black hole for Washington to throw dollars at in hopes of buying reelection. Because one of the main tenets of economics is considering the unseen, then it can be assumed that space exploration would very well be advanced far beyond what we see today if it was left completely out of the hands of the state.  If Krauthammer truly wished the human race capable of traveling into the new frontier of the stars, he would welcome NASA cuts rather than lament. How ironic then is today's news of Planetary Resources as investor and avowed anarchist Doug Casey thoughtfully observes on the inefficiency of NASA: "We should have colonies on the moon by now, and more: We should be mining the asteroids and developing real estate on Mars."

{ A bit much, to be sure (Casey) … my own position on this same topic regarding the same WP Editorial:

Krauthammer: Farewell, the New Frontier (Washington Post) [ I’m frankly a bit surprised, Mr. Krauthammer. I personally have long since stopped being disappointed; one builds up a tolerance to reality after a time. Pity? The only pity rationally should be the new frontier of rational, civilized behavior on terra ferma, aka earth. Not that it matters mind you, given the decades at best constraint. Then, rationality counting, there’s those other more earthy constraints called debits and credits, assets and liabilities, revenues and spending, etc.; and, as is particularly relevant here, the reality that the nation, as is the world generally as a hole, excuse me, whole, is defacto bankrupt! America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’).

If I could be disappointed, Mr. Krauthammer, it would be because you uncharacteristically sound like a pubescent schoolchild! The ‘space program(s)’ were boondoggles, plain and simple.

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off… http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock

Scientists fear end of trips to Mars They’re worried and angry as the White House won’t commit to the plan to explore the red planet.

But I, and I’m sure all know that ‘u.s. politics are spaced’. Flux? One could only hope. I’d say, ‘fleeced’; as in we’ve all been fleeced.  Sterner: 5 myths about NASA   (Washington Post) [ If you can’t get past the first myth; viz., that they actually set foot on the moon, the other 5 so-called myths become irrelevant. Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/usprisoncamp.htm

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the blacks of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the blacks have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today. There are very few positive things that can be said of america today. I, for one, cannot think of any at all!   [  ‘america, love it or leave it’? Love it?

How Liberty Was Lost

Paul Craig Roberts | When did things begin going wrong in America?

http://albertpeia.com/howlibertywaslost.htm

‘When did things begin going wrong in America?

“From the beginning,” answer some. English colonists, themselves under the thumb of a king, exterminated American Indians and stole their lands, as did late 18th and 19th century Americans. Over the course of three centuries the native inhabitants of America were dispossessed, just as Israelis have been driving Palestinians off their lands since 1948.

Demonization always plays a role. The Indians were savages and the Palestinians are terrorists. Any country that can control the explanation can get away with evil.

I agree that there is a lot of evil in every country and civilization. In the struggle between good and evil, religion has at times been on the side of evil. However, the notion of moral progress cannot so easily be thrown out…’

China’s ‘princelings’ turn privilege into influence-peddling profit  The role of a potent network of “red nobility” has become a touchy issue ahead of Communist Party’s fall congress expected to elevate Xi Jinping to power. ‘Greed trumps all ideologies’ (Washington Post) [ I’m a bit surprised that this article appeared on the front page giving the impression that american-styled corruption / pay-to-play is rampant in China. Quite the opposite is true where some guilty of even minor acts of corruption (ie., bribery, etc.) are literally executed ‘in short order’. While I’m realistically no fan of communism where ‘everyone’s equal but some more equal than others’, the fact is that whatever you want to call it, america’s system has become so pervasively corrupt, so bankrupt that it should in no way be somehow ‘relatively okay’ by specious implication as herein owing to some ‘purportedly universal trait’  as greed. The only ideologies notably visible in practice and reality in america are thievery, fraud, bribery, war crimes, murder, illegal drug distribution, etc.; and of course, that’s not ideology at all, but rather, typical americana as one would expect from any banana republic.

Multiple suspensions from school: marijuana, grafitti, 'possession of burglary tool,' jewelry...
Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

 

 

Krauthammer: Farewell, the New Frontier (Washington Post) [ I’m frankly a bit surprised, Mr. Krauthammer. I personally have long since stopped being disappointed; one builds up a tolerance to reality after a time. Pity? The only pity rationally should be the new frontier of rational, civilized behavior on terra ferma, aka earth. Not that it matters mind you, given the decades at best constraint. Then, rationality counting, there’s those other more earthy constraints called debits and credits, assets and liabilities, revenues and spending, etc.; and, as is particularly relevant here, the reality that the nation, as is the world generally as a hole, excuse me, whole, is defacto bankrupt! America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’).

If I could be disappointed, Mr. Krauthammer, it would be because you uncharacteristically sound like a pubescent schoolchild! The ‘space program(s)’ were boondoggles, plain and simple.

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off… http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock

 

 

Scientists fear end of trips to Mars They’re worried and angry as the White House won’t commit to the plan to explore the red planet.

After all, the nation is defacto bankrupt.  buzz aldrin wants to colonize Mars … Riiiiight buzzed!

As NASA transitions, U.S. space politics in a state of flux  (Washington Post) [ U.S. space politics? I didn’t know there was such a thing. But I, and I’m sure all know that ‘u.s. politics are spaced’. Flux? One could only hope. I’d say, ‘fleeced’; as in we’ve all been fleeced.  Sterner: 5 myths about NASA   (Washington Post) [ If you can’t get past the first myth; viz., that they actually set foot on the moon, the other 5 so-called myths become irrelevant. Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Tom Davis: Centrist Republicans, alive and well (Washington Post) [ Indeed they are; if only as a matter of reality, pragmatism, and necessity in seeing a nation survive as we once knew it. After all, there is absolutely no one who could honestly say that wobama the b for b***s***, who didn’t do what he said he’d do which we now know he should have done as promised, is an abject, utter failure as president.

 

Robinson: Which Mitt will we get?  (Washington Post) [ I think the more important and less speculative question is which con-man obama do we have? Indeed, there is no speculating about the fact that wobama the b for b***s*** is without exception, a completely different obama from that personified by the campaign promises and rhetoric last time around. In fact, except for profligate spending on top of the already unbalanced fiscal approach of dumbya bush to obfuscate his abject failure as president, wobama’s continued dumbya’s failed policies to a ‘t’. Oh sure, you’ll get some of the ‘same old  song’ from wobama with the election drawing nye; nothing of which is even remotely within the possibility of passage, but, as last time around, it sounds good on the campaign trail. If anything, praise Mitt for giving Wobama a heads-up by informing him to ‘start packing’. I thought that was the nice Mitt; and, truth be told, that’s not typical wobama b***s***! Keep in mind, while being fiscally prudent as Governor; though politically contraindicated he was compassionate as he deemed necessary for the benefit of the vast majority in his state which set up this grueling primary campaign in which he has clearly prevailed.  Just the opposite is true of wobama who despite rhetoric and (broken) campaign promises, favored ie., the banksters, military industrial complex, etc..

Will: Protecting true self-government (Washington Post) [ Oh come on Mr. Will. If anyone in america really cared about Constitution, true self-government, meaningful rules of law to protect same, etc., wobama would already have been impeached. http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ‘...North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

 

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution…’

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA   ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related  ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html   ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan  [  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew  ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Robinson: Which Mitt will we get?  (Washington Post) [ I think the more important and less speculative question is which con-man obama do we have? Indeed, there is no speculating about the fact that wobama the b for b***s*** is without exception, a completely different obama from that personified by the campaign promises and rhetoric last time around. In fact, except for profligate spending on top of the already unbalanced fiscal approach of dumbya bush to obfuscate his abject failure as president, wobama’s continued dumbya’s failed policies to a ‘t’. Oh sure, you’ll get some of the ‘same old  song’ from wobama with the election drawing nye; nothing of which is even remotely within the possibility of passage, but, as last time around, it sounds good on the campaign trail. If anything, praise Mitt for giving Wobama a heads-up by informing him to ‘start packing’. I thought that was the nice Mitt; and, truth be told, that’s not typical wobama b***s***! Keep in mind, while being fiscally prudent as Governor; though politically contraindicated he was compassionate as he deemed necessary for the benefit of the vast majority in his state which set up this grueling primary campaign in which he has clearly prevailed.  Just the opposite is true of wobama who despite rhetoric and (broken) campaign promises, favored ie., the banksters, military industrial complex, etc..

Obama, Romney and the ultra-rich The candidates’ tax plans would have vastly different outcomes for the wealthy, offering a window into their disparate economic views. (Washington Post) [ Disparate economic views? For wobama, that’s as ephemeral as an election cycle measured in months; after which, anything goes regardless of campaign promises, as we’ve regretfully witnessed in wobama the b for b***s*** to the nation’s profound detriment. After all, wobama has essentially continued, fatal foibles and all, virtually all the policies of dumbya bush, and added even greater obfuscating spending on top of that leaving the nation with an insurmountable debt load and defacto bankruptcy (America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’). Romney's claim that Obama has raised taxes on ‘millions of Americans’FACT CHECKER | There have been tax increases. But also lots of tax cuts. We do the math.  (WP [ Well, the one math you didn’t do, and the one most important tax Mitt Romney forgot to mention, is the inflation tax courtesy of wobama’s increase in the nation’s deficit in an amount greater than all the nation’s previous presidents since President General Eisenhower combined. And yes, inflation is a ‘tax’ (even bernanke admitted that) (see Inflation Is A Tax And The Federal Reserve Is Taxing The Living Daylights Out Of Us   http://albertpeia.com/inflationisatax.htm )  and it’s already here (gas, meats, etc.), underreported, and will keep on coming in a very big way.  , The 15 Trillion Dollar Party  http://albertpeia.com/bankruptamericadestroyingthefuture.htm  , http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv  

http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ‘...North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution…’

Parker: Rosen vs. Romney — A faux ‘girl fight’ (Washington Post) [ Faux ‘girl fight’? Hardly! Fully intended as a slight, the unintended consequences are significant! The Plum Line : The Morning Plum...over Hilary Rosen and Ann Romney triggered reams of analysis echoing the GOP spin that this... (WP) [ This is more than just GOP spin although the wobama spinmeisters would like you to believe otherwise. It was a typical cheap shot meant to draw contrasts with such as hillary clinton, michelle obama (see infra) which is specious and foolhardy since on close inspection and analysis, such scrutiny favors the honorable Ann Romney as it does hardworking housewives, mothers everywhere. To coin a new phrase: ‘Housewife/Mother, the Oldest HONORABLE Profession in the World’! Though too early to congratulate the new President (as a matter of courtesy to Ron Paul who is starting to look foolish, even leading some to wonder about the soundness of his positions owing to his age), I disagree that this will be a close election which I believe will be a blowout. Why? Because this is truly an existential moment for other than wobama’s ‘black voting (for b.o. no matter what) block’ and the nation as we once knew it and as well because of those legal / factual bases upon which the sound call for wobama’s impeachment is predicated,  http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ; in addition to the reality that wobama’s failed miserably having been given the chance to do what he said he would do but didn’t, which if he did do would have been the right course as we well now know!

Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

But alas, this ‘tiny little’ malevolent thing at roughly 3% GDP involving hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars at a pop called the ‘military industrial complex’, warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower, is hardly hidden from view. As a matter of fact, especially given nato’s and america’s particularly, collective defacto bankruptcy, it’s shocking they’re there at all, much less still there.

They are really beginning to look very foolish indeed!

 

 

More Americans expect health-care ruling to be political Half of the public expects the Supreme Court justices to rule mainly based on their “partisan political views,” a Post-ABC News poll reveals.  ‘A corrupt political system’ (Washington Post) [ Well, here’s a poll that even mainstream media jokemeister abc with sidekick the Post can do without ‘cherry-picking’ the polled to come up with the clear, ineluctable, correct result. Yeah, the american political system is corrupt. But, not just the political system  ( http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ); rather, the entire american system, all three branches of government, executive, legislative, and judicial are unequivocally corrupt (throw in as well here, so-called private enterprise, ie., the bailed out huge frauds on wall street, military industrial complex, illegal drug trade by the government, etc.). That’s certainly consistent with my direct experience and I’d swear to it on a Bible. http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  

 

America’s shine is wearing off I know why we are falling into a cataclysm of debt and can’t get out. (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.

Sargent: Will Romney be allowed to change? (Washington Post) [ What does it matter and why the speculation since from the moment he was sworn to present there’s been an astounding metamorphosis of wobama into the lying, jive-talking weasel-worm he’s proven to be. Whatever Romney is will always exceed what wobama is and purports to be. Wobama’s failed miserably having been given the chance to do what he said he would do but didn’t, which if he did do would have been the right course as we well know now.

 

 

Obama holds key leads over Romney on top issues, personal traits But contest is more competitive when it comes to economy, jobs, according to new Post-ABC News poll. (Washington Post) [ I don’t believe these polls as favor obama for even a second. While it may seem unfair to single out abc inasmuch as any mainstream news disseminator is as unreliable, the fact is that while there are many stupid people in america, there really aren’t that many people who are that stupid. The fact is that the guy they know (‘ devil that you know verses the devil that you don’t ‘) is so bad and without any integrity whatsoever and such a proven  failure, that only the dumbest fool could invite the fool me twice scenario with wobama the b for b***s*** who has broken virtually every campaign promise on which he ran and was elected; and as it has turned out, to the nation’s substantial detriment. Mainstream media is a total joke and a testament to how far the nation has fallen. There’s no downside to Romney because there’s no upside to wobama, the jive-talking black man as he reminds us as he did when he reminded us that that if he had a son, he’d look like that little thief/would have been future criminal trayvon martin. As for the Post, almost everything seems controversial these days and their comment section for the more controversial topics is down/not working/doesn’t post more often than not and I no longer even bother with, waste my time alerting them to the problems. Virtually every criticism of Romney is in the realm of wobama’s been there done that; including the purported cozy relationship with wall street as we all wait for wobama’s promised prosecutions at the highest levels … don’t hold your breath. Personal traits? I’ll take the guy who was a former missionary. Should he be punished for a less than sordid background:  http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv

Robert Burt: Should God be obeyed? (Washington Post) [ The ‘politically correct’ answer is of course, ‘Of Course’. But, of course, saying so won’t change the fact that they won’t. The grim reality for this planet which boasts a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes, is that at this point, it really no longer matters. Think decades, at best; which, is not a forbearance, but rather, time for tribulation, suffering, ‘payback’, etc.; for example, think algorithyms (I’ve not really pondered the math closely) as in, ie., a month’s tribulation for every minute of Christ’s suffering, etc..

What Sarah Palin's "Today Show" appearance proves (Washington Post) [ More than anything else, it proves that ‘dumb’ sells in america. ‘You know it when you see it’ (supreme court obscenity test of old) kind of dumb that’s funny because it’s ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ kind of dumb/funny. Sweet sister sarah, hypocrite extraordinaire with closet skeletons to spare, we gotta’ at least wonder whether Alan West whom she ‘endorsed’/recommended for the VP nod had been one of her black lovers. Of course, that would in fact be stupid because wobama will get near 100% of the black vote for no reason other than the fact that he’s black. But who’s listening to pickled-brain palin who has no credibility in reality whatsoever but provides great source material for comedy as SNL of which she’s quite proud, media hound that she is and as the article points out.

 

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him?

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss. Nah! Somehow I can’t picture Mr. Milbank on any sports field, much less a baseball field. Then I thought, maybe a story of pet dog puppymill banks that have been getting some press of late. Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

 

Intelligence officials retain citizens’ data longer Justice Dept. approves new guidelines allowing counterterrorism agencies to keep information about U.S. residents for up to five years, even if those residents have no known connection to terrorism. ‘Drip by drip our freedoms are vanishing’ (Washington Post) [ Indeed, this is true; but, hardly unprecedented in failing, falling, regimes, nations, empires. Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

NSA Boss Says Agency Does Not Monitor Your Email Kurt Nimmo | Another government bureaucrat takes us for idiots. [ Yes indeed, quite laughable.

Regardless of machinations, the fact is they do and that’s not all they monitor; enter their cozy deal with google (I still use google almost exclusively for my web search as a matter of disclosure here). Moreover, phones (wireless and landlines, computer and digital television transmissions/views), and I also believe digital / wire financial transactions / transmissions are monitored.

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

 

Obama Administration Tries To Shut Down Rush Limbaugh

Paul Joseph Watson | Media Matters is a White House front group. [ Though a frequent critic of neo-con Limbaugh, I’m against any and all attempts, particularly by desperate wobama et als to shut him down based on what he’s said. ]

McCain, Lieberman, Graham on Afghanistan (Washington Post) [ I say this without even a tinge of sarcasm and as serious as serious can be. If these guys had served during the administration of the last truly great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower, as cogs in the military industrial complex / zionists / neocons their political careers would have been over before he left office. The nation generally, and connecticut particularly should be thankful lieberman’s gone as his efforts, energies on behalf of israel have always been antithetical to the interests of both. These guys are war mongering losers and have played significant roles in bringing this nation down. (I’m not even going to get into their inapposite reference to the neo-con wet dream come true; that ‘pearl harbor’ incident they longed for, viz., 911, which served as hot-button blinders for the nation – there was advance knowledge of this op which was cheered by israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in weehawken, new jersey in full view of the imploding towers). The only area in which their admonitions ring even remotely true is as pertains to the opium/poppy/heroin trade which will continue under the auspices of the cia but without the muscle (military) necessary to sustain them long-term (see infra).

Paul Ryan’s dangerous budget Make no mistake: his intentionally vague plan envisions draconian cuts. (Washington Post) Editorial Board [ Truth be told, it’s really not all that often that I’m on the ‘same page’ as the Washington Post’s Editorial Board (and God knows have the utmost respect for this great Publishing Company / Newspaper and their historic defense of and respect for First Amendment, etc.) ; or, ie., Mr. Milbank, etc., who probably is on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me. Yet, I echo their concern / sentiment in commenting as follows: Ryan’s reverse Robin Hood His justification for his irresponsible budget only adds insult to injury. (Washington Post) [ I only wish Mr. Milbank hadn’t used the phrase, ‘Reverse Robin Hood’, inasmuch as this would be among those few times I’d be ‘all in’ in support of his position (which I am infra); but alas, that’s a phrase once used by the deplorable jesse jackson who is a shakedown artist with absolutely no credibility whatsoever. That said, my position is as stated in another WP comment as follows: With spending plan, House GOP renews budget clash with Obama  Proposal would cut social programs and slash taxes for the rich.  ‘Paul Ryan is a national hero’ (Washington Post) [ Hero? Indeed, in a nation of thieves; and, for such a nation of thieves, look no further than … pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. Yes, thieves, frauds; and, if america was just a nation of thieves, frauds and not the war mongering nation of murderers america’s proven herself to be, there might be at least some high ground upon which u.s. representatives could stand.  Until the filthy rich frauds on wall street among others (everyone knows who they are) are prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed, not a cent in taxes for all the rich (their compatriots, oligarchs with relatively few exceptions) nor a even a penny in programs should be cut. Unfortunately, it’s those corrupt, greedy rich oligarchs who have had their way in bringing the nation down through misdirected policy influence (ie., wars/military industrial complex, etc.), protection of huge frauds still extant (marked to anything courtesy of contraindicated legislated FASB rule change), etc. (a list too long for this comment). The time has come for all people in and outside of this nation to embrace this foregoing reality, truth. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Ron Paul: "I Think Sanctions Give Iran Motivation To Want A Nuclear Weapon"There are those who say that while they agree completely with Ron Paul's economic policy of fixing the #1 issue that ails America (as a reminder, total US debt/GDP would only decline under a Ron Paul presidency) they disagree with Paul on his foreign policy. We wonder why when all he does is instead of appealing to the jingoism of warmongers and patronizing the basest of herd instincts, he simply tells the truth. Such as on Today's State of the Union show on CNN when asked if Obama has done "enough" to force Iran to stop its nuclear development via sanctions and others, his reply was spot on: "I think he gets too much involved. I think sanctions gives the motivation for them to want a nuclear weapon. We have 45 bases around them, we can demolish them within hours. And the worst thing the sanctions do, and Republicans and Democrats both support it and the other GOP candidates want war even more, the whole thing is there is a lot of dissension in Iran and we should encourage it by not interfering, once we get involve and threaten to bomb them, it becomes nationalistic - everyone joins the Ayataollah and Ahmedinejad. So there is a blowback - unusual circumstances and unintended consequences. So yes, our people are well-intended, but they don't realize how much damage they do by not accomplishing what they want and causing more harm to us. So our military personnel right now are very adamant not to be involved in a bombing of Iran, it makes no sense whatsoever to our military personnel, to the CIA, even though they are much more interventionist than I am."

Would You Support an Iran War If … : George Washington : 02/22/2012

 http://albertpeia.com/16reasonswhyonlyfoolssupportswaragainstIran.htm

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

Is China already No. 1? (Washington Post) [ That may be so and for sound reasons. But, america will still be No.1 in the following areas if not in our hearts and minds.  USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At  http://albertpeia.com/40badthingsusabest.htm  

 

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At   http://endoftheamericandream.com ‘Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.

#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.

#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year - the most in the world.

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#7 The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#9 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

#10 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far.

#11 There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.

#12 The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the world.

#13 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.

#14 The United States has the most lawyers per capita in the entire world.

#15 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#16 Americans take more prescription drugs than anyone else in the world.

#17 More is spent on prescription drug advertising in America than anywhere else in the world.

#18 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.

#19 More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

#20 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire globe.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#22 There is more mortgage debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#25 U.S. citizens spend more time in school than anyone else in the world.  So why are so many of us dumb as a rock?

#26 Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

#27 The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

#28 According to nationmaster.com, the United States has the most total reported crimes in the world by far.

#29 Nobody has more airport security thugs groping women and children than America does.

#30 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.’

The Post’s View  A tear for Putin’s Russia Editorial Board He reclaims a country that is no longer so sure about him. (Washington Post) [  A tear? How about a cheer … for Putin’s Russia. No longer sure about him? Indeed, if they listen to the western press among other ‘anti-Russia’ propaganda outlets / disseminators. Suffice it to say, much to the chagrin of america / israel / Russia’s enemies, whether knowingly or not, or just plain oblivious to the threat, by electing Putin, Russia has just dodged a major ‘bullet’ in a very big way! 3-15-12 There was mention of Russia’s intent regard a manned moon mission to which I respond to such if intended by the historically great nation of Russia: Bon voyage! Good luck! Godspeed!

 

Putin wins election amid fraud complaints (Washington Post) [ Oh come on! Those complaints were coming no matter what. Indeed, the u.s. led (much like that in the Mid-East, one way or another; ie., Iraq, Libya, etc.) efforts to unseat ‘The Great Vladimir Putin’ have failed (believe me, they are seething with envy and resentment for Russia’s good fortune prospectively), which is a testament to the intelligence and survival instincts of an historically great nation that has stood the test of time. Yet, I truly believe there are those in Russia herself who quite foolishly fail to see and appreciate this reality and the formerly substantial but still extant threat from without. Moreover, I further posite that almost without exception there’s substantial  fraud / skullduggery in virtually every venue at every level, municipal, state, federal of near every american election (coincidentally, on the tv news ‘shock’ was reported that some local official would receive $272,000 equivalent pension for life, exceeding even the outrageously high salary of that worker – as in every crime, the motive, local, state, federal). Who's congratulating Putin? (FP)(Editors)[ I am! Congratulations President Putin!

Five myths about Vladi­mir Putin (Washington Post) [ Much like many of problems globally, from strife to economic / financial fraud / instability, the myths are of particularly american and western origin; and, a consequence of their seething envy of and resentment toward this talented, great leader of an historically great nation.

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holdiong their breath.

The Fix : 2012 Republicans kiss Trump's ring  2012 Republicans are kissing Donald Trump’s ring. But why? Aaron Blake (Washington Post) [ Why indeed! Yet, it would be amazing if only it wasn’t a testament to america’s unmistakable, ineluctable decline and fall by virtually every criterion by which a nation/state is measured. My direct personal experience, with extremely few exceptions,  is that there’s very little difference between the u.s. government and organized crime. That’s reality, not hopium!

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever. [ website archived links http://albertpeia.com/uscocainedistributionfiles.htm  ) ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

 

Trump to moderate GOP debate This won’t end well. (Washington Post) [ Goes without saying… of all people to choose … Why not Jerry Springer?… ‘Non-celebrity Apprentice’, the new reality show, as in who scratches whose back for favors down the road, as in quid pro quo, as in trump’s continued ‘graduation’ from commonly mob connected, to new york/new jersey politically sordid sinkholes, to now failed washingtonian … ‘establishment’?

Romney’s money problem His nomination may be near, but his routine is getting a bit rich. (Washington Post) [ Yet another of those ‘aw come on wobama lover Mr. Milbank moments’. I mean really. Wobama’s are as ‘rich’, and disingenuous at best to say otherwise, and his routine, namely b***s***, is past ‘getting old’. After all, wobama can’t run on his clear record of failure as bush failure 3 with what turns out as before, b***s*** alone. The problem is that there’s nothing that can be said of the republican offerings (except Ron Paul) for which it can’t be said of wobama that he’s been there, done that in contravention of all prior campaign promises, to the substantial detriment of the nation. Even his new ‘displacement’ as chief of staff’s a ‘wall street inside man’ (Drudgereport: FLASHBACK: Daley planned to leave AFTER election...  ,  Michelle (a black) distressed about power of 'white Irish Catholic'...  ,  New Obama Chief of Staff: Former Hedge Fund Exec at CITI, Made Money off Mortgage Defaults... (even Castro’s correct on this obvous point regarding the duplicitous wobama ) Castro: 'Robot' better than Obama, Republicans...  . Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** !

(Washington Post) [ As such, the same salvos levied against slimy newt are aposite here and reiterated. Yet, I’m still non-plused by santorum equating same-sex marriage (as a heterosexual myself I can’t say that I’m wild about that idea) with polygamy (truth be told it could be easy for me to picture being wild about that idea). I haven’t yet looked closely at santorum, candidly speaking; and, know him only by his contraindicated and preposterous ‘soundbites’ in defense of nation-bankrupting neo-con geopolitics (wars) and have previously referred to him as a ‘lightweight’ thereby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why insider trading probes are awkward for SEC (Washington Post) [ If only it wasn’t true that ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’!

Yet, their’s is only the province of civil remedies with at best criminal referrals to the DOJ for prosecution; good luck with that (remember all those prosecutions promised last election time by what is now the wobama / holder doj of the still extant high level wall street frauds in the trillions…never happened  - { Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender.

The Post’s View The Senate didn’t do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board There’s still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no ‘wiggle room’ whatsoever should be countenanced in this ‘legislation’. Actually, an outright ban would be a more ‘cut and dry’ approach and desirable. Objections? Don’t run for office if you don’t like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a ‘public service sacrifice’ to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the ‘courts’ will apply those laws as written and intended, I’m constrained to say from direct experience: ‘You don’t get out much!’ http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm

Republicans in fantasy land  Wednesday’s debate presented a party adrift from reality. (Washington Post) [ This article refers to republicans only. Now who’s in fantasy land … Mr. Hiatt. The embrace of fantasy economically, fiscally, financially, politically, geo-politically is truly a bi-partisan undertaking. See chart: http://albertpeia.com/debtpercapita.jpg .

(Washington Post) [ Nothing could match the swelling seen under wobama the b for b***s***, particularly while in ‘election year mode’. At this point, who’s counting? Swelling indeed! The nation’s now one big hematoma of insurmountable debt!  The growing deficit? It’s not as bad as it looks. Modern Monetary Theory, which asserts that budget shortfalls are actually good for the economy, is gaining popularity. If accepted by policymakers, this unorthodox take on financial strategy could affect everything from job creation to the price of goods to the tax code. (Washington Post) [ Not as bad as it looks? Yeah! It’s worse! When I saw this headline juxtapsed with Dylan, immediately apropo to the moment was ‘Blowin’ (in the) Wind’ by Bob Dylan. How totally preposterous; not that it is totally unexpected that such spin, defense of the indefensible is inevitible inasmuch as, prudent or not, like it or not, that’s the way it is in a very big way. So big in fact, that it is literally insurmountable leading to Weimar over-printing of fiat paper currency of unprecedented historical proportion which has already required ‘cover stories’/obfuscation for the consequent ratcheting of food / energy prices, etc., with other costs soon to catch up with incomes statements as these higher prices will not be favorably received nor successfully passed on.

Obama looks to tame U.S. debt Spending plan would pump nearly $500 billion into new construction projects over the next decade.

OPINION | The amount he’s actually responsible for adding to the deficit is difficult to calculate.   (Washington Post) [ Well, when you’re dealing with debased, over-printed fiat currency and insurmountable debt levels, the precise amount of debt added on his watch matters less than the fact that he’s increased america’s debt by an amount in excess of the total amounts of all the nations’ presidents since Eisenhower combined.

Milbank: Burning bridges in Washington (Washington Post) [ Burning bridges? What, London bridge is falling down? (Actually, in a manner of speaking it is: George Osborne: UK has run out of money London Telegraph | The Government ‘has run out of money’ and cannot afford debt-fuelled tax cuts or extra spending, George Osborne has admitted.) Oh, sure; this, from wobama aficionado Mr. Milbank. And, despite spending more than all the presidents since Eisenhower combined, wobama cannot obfuscate, manipulate, mask his complete and utter failure and for once in his life must be held accountable for even his own words (b***s***): ‘… “The president said three years ago that if he couldn’t turn this around in three years, then this would be a one-term proposition. Well, Republican governors are deciding it’s time to collect. It’s time for a new president.” A third governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina, piled on. “It was frustrating to see that he once again was finger-pointing at everyone else, and we don’t have that luxury,” she said, instructing the president: “Enough of the talk.” You’d literally have to go back to Jimmy Carter’s years in the White House, back in the 1970s, to match the liberal ideology, to match the incompetence.” Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed a remedy …’ . After all, if he had but done what he said he would do upon which he campaigned and was elected, though still dire, the nation’s predicament would have been substantially improved. Moreover, if he had done as promised, whatever the outcome, he could not have been faulted as he so fittingly does deserve to be so now.

A Warning Sign For The World  http://albertpeia.com/warningsignfortheworld.htm
Any financial system that is based on debt is doomed to fail.  Today, we are living in the greatest debt bubble that the world has ever seen, and if all of a sudden people could not use credit to buy things our economy would immediately ground to a halt.  Unfortunately, no debt bubble can last forever.  When this current debt bubble finally bursts, faith in the financial system is going to disappear, credit is going to freeze up and there is going to be a massive wave of bank failures.

In Obama’s export push, clash of U.S. interests That collision has been evident in the U.S. airline industry, where policies that aided Boeing forced another American company, Delta, to lose business. Experts say the approach by Obama, who is visiting a Boeing plant today, forces him to pick winners and losers. ‘Service sector cannot and should not lead our economy’ (Washington Post) [ Ramping up the rhetoric; or rather, the b***s***, which is what wobama does best though his actions and inactions since last campaign mode belie his words. First, there isn’t enough real capital in the world to sustain america’s debt burden, and, the over-printed fiat paper weimar dollar currency will be ‘paid for’ by ‘all’. Second, even assuming, arguendo, the absence of the foregoing insurmountable burden / obstacle, there simply is not enough capital in the world to retransition what’s been decades in the making overseas with modern plants and equipment there, now here, much less being profitable to do so. Too little, too late for wobama the b for b***s*** whose actions have consistently belied his words, and who has literally further insurmountably bankrupted the nation with excessively costly and uneconomic window-dressed numbers.

$200 Oil Coming As Central Banks Go CTRL+P HappyWe have been saying it for weeks, and today even the WSJ jumped on the bandwagon: the sole reason why crude prices are surging (RIP European profit margins: with EUR Brent at a record, we can only assume the ECB will pull a 2011 and hike rates in 3-4 months even as it pumps trillions in PIIGS, banks bailout liquidity) - is because global liquidity has risen by $2 trillion in a few short months, on the most epic shadow liquidity tsunami launched in history in lieu of QE3 (discussed extensively here in our words, but here are JPM's). Luckily, the market is finally waking up to this, and just as world central banks were preparing to offset deflation, they will instead have to deal with spiking inflation, because the market may have a short memory, it can remember what happened just about this time in 2011. And the problem is that when it comes to the inflation trade, the market, unlike in most other instances, can be fast - blazing fast, at anticipating what the central planning collective's next step will be, after all there is only one. And if Bank of America is correct, that next step could well lead to the same unprecedented economic catastrophe that we saw back in 2008, only worse: $200 oil. Note - this is completely independent of what happens in Iran, and is 100% dependent on what happens in the 3rd subbasement of the Marriner Eccles building. Throw in an Iran war and all bets are off. Needless to say, an epic deflationary shock will need to follow immediately, just as in 2008, which means that, in keeping with the tradition of being 6-9 months ahead of the market, our question today is - which bank will be 2012's sacrificial Lehman to set off the latest and greatest deflationary collapse and send crude plunging to $30 just after it hits $200.

 

$10 Trillion In 2 years - 'Over' Abundant Liquidity And ExpectationsA funny thing happened while we all waited for the Fed to announce QE3. The rest of the world did it for them. Courtesy of Bloomberg's excellent Economics Brief, and the n'th time, here is what a multi-trillion dollar liquidity expansion looks like even with the Fed running silent. And this is also what $10 trillion in 2 years pumped into the markets looks like. Wonder where the market gets its "spring step" from? Now you know. Thank you Economist PhD's!

 http://albertpeia.com/16reasonswhyonlyfoolssupportswaragainstIran.htm

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

Super-PAC donors act as GOP kingmakers  A rarefied group of millionaires and billionaires is acting as kingmakers in the Republican presidential contest, often helping to decide, with a simple transfer of money, which candidate might survive another day in race. (Washington Post) [ Let’s not limit this ‘oligarchy in action’ scenario to the republicans. After all, it took some scrutiny from across the sea to ferret out early on a similar scenario regarding ‘the man of the people’, ‘the man of change’ (NOT on both counts) wobama the b for b***s***; viz., David Icke,  Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Putin unleashes wave of anti-American sentiment ahead of March elections Can U.S.-Russian relations withstand damage from attacks that have gotten more aggressive? (Washington Post) [ One can hardly expect a great leader of a great nation as Russia (yes, it is President Putin) to roll over and bend over for a pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless nation as america surely is. The question always boils down to the ultimate cost of better relations with the u.s.. For indigenous populations and foreign nations that have tested the waters of ‘better relations with america’, the outcomes have been fatal (Iraq, Libya, etc., to name a recent few). I personally am constrained to sound and be accused of being ‘anti-american’ (not really, but by their spin certainly) by standing for my rights in property and constitutionally and resisting the costly corruption by the lawless oligarchs presiding over america’s declining / falling destiny today. The vast majority of americans this day are being irrevocably screwed by the u.s. government which is for the sake of current obfuscation bankrupting all in futurity.

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

Then again, could this be a rhetorical way of criticizing the GOP in favor of the Dems or a legitimate heads up so as to preclude the GOP from shooting themselves in the foot. I know not nor care not; the context is the key. Indeed, federal judiciary? Like most things american, the federal courts are rife with corruption. Since when should politics trump (includes corrupt judge maryanne trump barry, and shiff, matz, etc. ) judicial integrity and experience? Answer: since america beyond the propaganda is what inherently criminal, pervasively corrupt defacto is what america truly is and has been. Examples of federal judicial corruption already include the likes of sam alito among others, who though incompetent and corrupt and unequivocally deserving of jail time, sits now on the u.s. supreme court (  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  , and infra).

But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

The Post’s View The Senate didn’t do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board There’s still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no ‘wiggle room’ whatsoever should be countenanced in this ‘legislation’. Actually, an outright ban would be a more ‘cut and dry’ approach and desirable. Objections? Don’t run for office if you don’t like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a ‘public service sacrifice’ to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the ‘courts’ will apply those laws as written and intended, I’m constrained to say from direct experience: ‘You don’t get out much!’ http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  

 

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

 

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. Natural News February 1, 2012  [  http://albertpeia.com/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia.com/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  
http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Gingrich: Today’s college students are coddled (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! They’ve got no jobs and an insurmountably bankrupt nation to look forward to thanks in large part to you, your ilk, your peers, wobama et als; and, notably, through no fault of their own. Besides, says newty, ‘kids, they comb their hair in that funny way’.  Riiiiight, snooty newty, there’s those ‘janitorial jobs’ for which there are even waiting lists of applicants for even those jobs according to reports. Say anything, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! As per wobama, words are cheap; but as we all now know, ultimately very costly when they’re more rhetoric / b***s*** than truth / reality!  Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail. A lawyer and libertarian scholar who had long advocated privatizing Social Security — and once acknowledged taking payments from Jack Abramoff to write favorable op-ed pieces about the lobbyist’s clients — Ferrara said he talks to Gingrich almost daily…’), and the frauds on wall street will just love his social security privatization / new blood for the infamous blood-sucking squid (goldman sachs), to keep the ponzi padded with fresh dough once again on the backs of taxpayers (kind of a ‘k street’ kind of drain). Focused regulation of areas of the economy prone to fraud, ie., wall street, and deregulation as to others, ie., small businesses, is a more optimal course.( Bribes, Chinese mob ties alleged at Casino of Gingrich money man Sheldon Adelson Denies Wrongdoing as FBI, SEC Probe Alleged Corrupt Practices …).

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Economy makes election a nail-biter Few of the proposals laid out by the president Tuesday would jump-start the economy before November. ‘Once again, long-winded on rhetorics but short on specifics’ (WP) [ No … it’s not the economy that makes the election a nail-biter. Rather, it’s wobama’s ‘long-winded on rhetorics but short on specifics’ typical b***s*** that makes for this a ‘nail-biter’. No specifics? Indeed! From ‘wobama speak’ we can surmise from this ‘hedge’ that at least he wouldn’t be vulnerable to the legitimate accusations that his actions (and non-actions) belie his words as last time around. As for the economy, it’s all that bad and worse! Are George Soros, The IMF And The World Bank Purposely Trying To Scare The Living Daylights Out Of Us?  [ Short answer: No!

[GOP reactions reflect party divisions Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels makes official response, but Romney and Cain also offer their takes. (WP) [ Although I didn’t listen to / watch wobama’s b***s*** session (his words are absolutely worthless and as last time around, belied by his misguided deeds), I did pay attention to the intelligent, succinct, poignant Republican Response by Mitch Daniels, Gov. Indiana, and confidently say, if he so chooses the path, he will prospectively be President. A way his formidable background and talents could more quickly be brought to the fore would be a Ron Paul / Mitch Daniels ticket which would be a Mitch Daniels candidacy then Presidency in 2016. This would give the nation and the world ‘time to breath’ while recovering from wobama way of  failings / missteps. You can’t ignore Oliver Stone’s sagacious opinion in such matters as these.

Obama’s best surrogate Gingrich boosts the president’s reelection prospects. (Washington Post) [ Indeed, that’s what’s being said across the board. You can count on Mr. Milbank having his fingers crossed for a slimy newt candidacy. Snooty newty, literally a self-proclaimed ‘revolutionary’. Che Gingrich! I can almost envision the posters / t-shirts. It’s really quite amazing / tragic! Narcissistic personality disorder? Could be. See here: He’s So Vain, He’d Be Right in Thinking This Post Is About Him By ANDREW ROSENTHAL NYT  http://loyalopposition.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/hes-so-vain-hed-be-right-in-thinking-this-post-is-about-him  …You can’t set too much store by press releases from one campaign about another, but I have to say that Mitt Romney’s team has come out with a devastating one. It’s titled, poetically: “‘I think Grandiose Thoughts’ A Selection of Speaker Gingrich’s Thoughts Over The Years.”

It cites some of the most breathtakingly self-congratulatory statements that I’ve ever seen from a politician, and that is a high bar.

Last month: “I think I am a transformational figure.” (Shouldn’t there have been a footnote crediting Barack Obama with that line?)

In 1985, when he was a backbencher in the Reagan G.O.P., to put it generously: “I want to shift the entire planet. And I’m doing it … I represent real power.” (Maybe that explains global warming.)

In 1992, when he was on the verge of becoming Speaker of the House, one of the most non-revolutionary things you can do: “I am essentially a revolutionary.”

And in 2005: “I first talked about [saving civilization] in August of 1958.” It’s fairly impressive that Mr. Gingrich remembers the exact date he first mentioned saving civilization. Too bad it’s now been almost 54 years and he still hasn’t done it.

All politicians love to compare themselves to previous politicians, and Republicans especially love to compare themselves to Abraham Lincoln, whose Republican Party, of course, had no connection to the current one apart from the name. But Mr. Gingrich truly excels at this, as in all other matters egotistical.

The Romney news release, which is carefully sourced, contains examples of Mr. Gingrich likening himself to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher (another revolutionary, essentially), Woodrow Wilson, Henry Clay, Charles de Gaulle (aren’t Republicans supposed to disdain the French?), William Wallace (from the movie “Braveheart,” not the actual William Wallace); the Duke of Wellington (presumably not for the beef or the boots), Thomas Edison, Vince Lombardi, the Wright brothers, and any old Viking. And Moses…’ [In this respect, viz., potentially suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder, he’s not so different from wobama the b for b***s***]: ‘… During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency….

“The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do.”

He had to be joking, right? Sadly, he was not joking…’ The Economic Collapse December 21, 2011 http://albertpeia.com/40piecesevidenceusdecline.htm

Romney, Gingrich clash sharply in debate The former Massachusetts governor attacked the former House speaker as a failed leader, a K Street influence peddler and a candidate who would put the party at risk in the general election. Gingrich’s firm paid $25,000 a month by Freddie, according to contract (Washington Post) [ True enough, sweet mitt; the slimy newt’s just an unscrupulous peddler; and none other than Frank’s ‘rat pack bro’, the Dino is ushered in from beyond by Frank to croon in his smooth as greecey italian way and warn us all:

I often point to the stupidity of americans generally, but not so dumb to ignore the most basic math coupled with common sense relative to these nation-debilitating, unjustifiable frauds, boondoggles. At this juncture I feel obliged to state that I haven’t voted for decades (kind of along the lines of ‘George Carlin’s famed defense of his own non-voting record which he justified by reminding all that Hitler came to power in a full, free, democratic election by a landslide’). Yet, on all the ‘big ones’, I’ve always taken a prior position based on the ‘reality’ of the prospective result. May I humbly say, I’ve never, ever been wrong. These are ‘debates’ …’words’… geared toward positioning one or another for the opportunity of the ‘big job’. To expect anything less than at least a ‘little bit of juglar’ is a bit naïve. So calm down Mr. Krauthammer; nothing’s been lost. Testament to Mr. Krauthammer being ‘off his game’ here is his positing of ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ as being smart. Au contraire Mr. Krauthammer! Wobama’s quite dumb! If smart, wobama would have done as he said he would do last campaign, and the nation would have been far better off for it! Parenthetically, look to who’s pushing the censorship bills; now, that’s political desperation! To cheer Mr. Krauthammer up, there’s also that egregious ‘Keystone’ misstep which even The Post’s Editorial Board felt compelled to point out. We’ll just chalk this up to ‘(temporary) situational anxiety disorder’.

 

 

 

Should I (Reveal) { Recorded by Frank Sinatra  Songwriters: Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed }

Romney, Gingrich clash sharply in debate The former Massachusetts governor attacked the former House speaker as a failed leader, a K Street influence peddler and a candidate who would put the party at risk in the general election.

After all, if it was a lack of mendacity and meretricious, disingenuous hypocrisy that the media and electorate were looking for, Ron Paul would be surging! And from beyond, we sense Frank’s upset as he croons:

 

He was married and so was she

In a house of sticks that he was made to flee

She wore black and he wore white

So what, she shot him down

So what, they were blank rounds

Bang bang, the media rang

Bang bang, the socar hillbillies sang

So what, his baby shot him down … with blanks!

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

 


{actual song in pertinent part}

I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own.

Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's
weary chase is unknown.

Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty
caress the streams.

Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in.
Don't let it abide in my dreams.

Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone! …’

I personally took (the mandatory foreign language grade 7-10) French and even brushed up here in LA while contemplating a move to Geneva, Switzerland, Europe, which of course has obviously changed along with EU prospects, the EU having so foolishly gone along to get along with the now fallen american way (I’m really not good with languages, being ‘hard-wired’ with my initial language, ie., my facebook response to query, ‘I took French; but I have no facility with languages (including computer programming languages) other than what I initially learned and some code (html, etc.).

Ron Paul’s achievement After a quarter-century in the wilderness, he’s within reach of putting his cause on the map. (Washington Post) [ At first blush, I thought by this headline this article to be Mr. Krauthammer’s vailed attempt at sarcasm. After all, as a jewish man himself, I’ve yet to see him take a position that could in any way be even remotely antithetical to israeli interests; and yet, one would have to be blind and dumb not to to realize such zionist / pro-israeli policies as foolishly adopted by the u.s. have been unequivocally antithetical to american interests. The testament to the merger of contraindicated american ‘interests’ with selfishly construed israeli interests was that display of wildly cheering israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in Weehawken, n.j. at the sight of the burning / exploding / symmetrically imploding trade towers (including bldg. 7) on 911 (contriving such a ‘pearl harbor event’ a neocon / military industrial complex / israeli wet dream come true. Later history might even write this as the ‘albatross incident’ for america). The great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex whose interests and welfare programs have merged with those of the militant illegal-nuke totin’ israelis whose interests suddenly merged into puppet-in-chief wobama despite wobama’s campaign rhetoric to the contrary upon which he was elected. Parenthetically, President Eisenhower never took any crap from the terrorist begin / israelis in contravention of American interests in the region.  I truly don’t know what being a libertarian means; but I do know that a junkie/thief/methamphetamine addict from virginia who stole some (very valuable to me) items from me here in Socal had a father who was one and he professed being one of sorts himself though questionable (ie., his ‘phony’ business card with an ‘in God we trust’ logo, etc.). The importance of Ron Paul is to point out the unsustainability of ‘same old / same old’ without reason, purpose, advantage to any but the very greedy short-sighted few, though substantially detrimental to the nation. After the cold war’s end, with peace dividend to grace clinton, the substantial achievement of Reagan / Gorbachev, if america had literally ‘done nothing’ rather than having embarked upon the ‘money-eating / war-profiteering’ adventurism along with ‘that engagement thing’ with communist china so hailed by former ambassador to china / cia man bush, no nation could have caught up to and passed america; some and then many have and are destined to do so (what the heck, decades at best anyway). The fed has failed all mandates for which it supposedly exists. They’ve literally helped consummate for the intended benefit of the few, frauds in the trillions, to the substantial detriment of the vast majority and the nation itself (among other culpable acts, ie., $4 trillion missing at the new york fed, over-printing of  the ever more worthless dollars, etc.). For the israeli lobby, reality is a frightful thing. For pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, reality is also a frightful thing. 

How will President George W. Bush personally make million$, if not billion$ from the War on Terror? The easy way.  He'll inherit it.

. Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

 

Romney’s money problem His nomination may be near, but his routine is getting a bit rich. (Washington Post) [ Yet another of those ‘aw come on wobama lover Mr. Milbank moments’. I mean really. Wobama’s are as ‘rich’, and disingenuous at best to say otherwise, and his routine, namely b***s***, is past ‘getting old’. After all, wobama can’t run on his clear record of failure as bush failure 3 with what turns out as before, b***s*** alone. The problem is that there’s nothing that can be said of the republican offerings (except Ron Paul) for which it can’t be said of wobama that he’s been there, done that in contravention of all prior campaign promises, to the substantial detriment of the nation. Even his new ‘displacement’ as chief of staff’s a ‘wall street inside man’ (Drudgereport: FLASHBACK: Daley planned to leave AFTER election...  ,  Michelle (a black) distressed about power of 'white Irish Catholic'...  ,  New Obama Chief of Staff: Former Hedge Fund Exec at CITI, Made Money off Mortgage Defaults... (even Castro’s correct on this obvous point regarding the duplicitous wobama ) Castro: 'Robot' better than Obama, Republicans...  . Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** ! The quid pro quo … the bribe …  Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.    America Is a Failed State Because It Won’t Prosecute Financial Crime  Washington’s Blog Roche 'The worst part of it  ...Obama, who vowed change, has done almost nothing to fix any of it and in fact continues most of the policies that helped get us here in the first place’  ‘INSIDE JOB’ Ferguson wins Oscar for Documentary on the unprosecuted massive extant fraud in the (many) TRILLIONS by the frauds on wall street ( and declares with oscar in hand that not one high level wall street exec has been prosecuted … despite ‘earning’ billions from the fraud )THE OBAMA DECEPTION’  http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv ,    Role as political insider in Washington made Rick Santorum a millionaireAfter losing reelection bid in 2006, he capitalized on experience with a profitable career on K Street. (Washington Post) [ As such, the same salvos levied against slimy newt are aposite here and reiterated. Yet, I’m still non-plused by santorum equating same-sex marriage (as a heterosexual myself I can’t say that I’m wild about that idea) with polygamy (truth be told it could be easy for me to picture being wild about that idea). I haven’t yet looked closely at santorum, candidly speaking; and, know him only by his contraindicated and preposterous ‘soundbites’ in defense of nation-bankrupting neo-con geopolitics (wars) and have previously referred to him as a ‘lightweight’ thereby.

(J. Mercer, S. Vimmerstadt)
[Recorded June 9, 1964, Los Angeles]
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart,
Somebody twice as smart as I.
Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and see.
I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine,
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,
Like you, like you broke mine.

Call him irresponsible - call him unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do his foolish alibis bore you
Well he’s not too clever – he just adores trumpish people we should boo

Call him unpredictable - tell him he’s impractical
Pots of gold at ends of rainbows he’s inclined to pursue
Call him irresponsible - yes newt’s unreliable
But it's undeniably true – newt’s irresponsibly mad for madman trump et als too

 

Financial Troubles For Many Nations In The New Year Bob Chapman | 2012 is going to be quite a year with falling economies in the UK, Europe, the US, China, Japan and the remainder of Asia. Ron Paul’s poll numbers are up in Iowa (Washington Post) [ As indeed they should be if people are truthful about wanting real change for the better. Historical headwinds Gingrich, Romney and Paul against the odds. (Washington Post) [ This is without doubt the most disappointing article by an otherwise invariably clear thinking Mr. Will. I’m glad for his disclosure (the Perry link) inasmuch as at least there is the possibility of a modicum of reason behind what otherwise would constitute a total ‘lack of reason’. Mr. Will sets forth some interesting tidbits of a category of sorts of history as if prepping for a round of Jeopardy, so obscure as they are. Relevance to today, that is also as obscure. If Mr. Will, of all people, cannot discern the difference today, from the america of yesterday, one does have to wonder who can. Yet, I do believe the vast majority in america do in fact discern such a difference. Why? Because the magnitude of that reality (of difference) is so great that one would have to be literally brain-dead to not discern it. Pervasively corrupt and quite literally defacto bankrupt, america’s at the cusp of a complete collapse in every way a nation could collapse; viz., financially, economically, politically, geopolitically, and legally. Indeed, so stark are these realities despite organized obfuscation, the same direction / status quo is blatantly untenable to even the most stalwart of ‘stay the course types’. Other than the black vote (roughly 18% according to’the first black president, clinton’) and the relatively few remaining wobama loyalists, I do believe, though belated, it’s human nature for that clear majority to opt for the chance of survival (of a nation) rather than the already worn path of decline as tread by wobama. Then comes the distinction between the failed president wobama and the alternative; Ron Paul being the ‘man, with a plan, that’s not already been ran’. New direction, change is sorely needed; which wobama promised, but never delivered, jive-talking con-man that he is. 

George H.W. Bush said to support Romney (Washington Post) [“I think Romney is the best choice for us,” said poppy bush. Exactly! Though surprisingly candid given his oft shady rhetoric; from read his lips ‘no new taxes’ to ‘he’s thinking anew’, words he ascribed to Lincoln; he really means this ‘us’ thing; not u.s. mind you; but literally us as in the untalented (war) criminal bush clan that spawned two failed presidents and have rested hopes for a third (jebby the judas – or at least a still viable political ‘leeching of america’ position – same for his lying -9/11- buddy tom kean’s son) in the ever increasingly desperate romney. So poor a job did poppy do, he, like ‘wobama the b for b***s***, was a ‘one-termer’ (even bush failure 2 who ranks among the worst presidents in american history, just a notch above wobama –the worst-, got two terms – people were still buying into their self-created ‘national emergency mode’ war propaganda). Then there’s his familial historical ties to fraudulent wall street as well as even hitler et als. But then there’s the military industrial complex so warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower that stands to gain by the bush league approach and certainly romney’s bellicose rhetoric was made to order to accommodate such fleecing enterprises with wars / conflicts made real thereby. ‘Best choice’ … For whom should be the proper query? There’s the cia (and their illegal drug business and bigger off the grid budgets http://albertpeia.com/CIAAgentAffidavit1.jpg   ), the communist chinese (that engagement thing as former ambassador that’s worked out so marvelously for america while make ‘those few’ very wealthy), the Carlisle Group, etc.. Then there’s aipac, israel, zionist jews, neo-cons, mental-cases like cheney, bolton, etc., and in the case of aipac have been showing their love … not for americans/america, but for ie., romney and themselves… With rise, Ron Paul could be spoiler in GOP presidential race — or kingmaker As the first votes approach in Iowa, the congressman is a serious force with the potential to upend fight. (Washington Post) [ Spoiler? Kingmaker? How ‘bout ‘the candidate’! If there’s one thing far more scrutinizing eyes than those of the so-called mainstream are apt to point out (ie., Tyler Durden, Jones, Watson, etc.), it’s that the nation hasn’t fared so well with the so-called ‘establishment / mainstream candidates / favorites’. In fact, as we all know, the substantially compromised mainstream candidates with substantially compromised mainstream positions have proven to be downright disastrous for the nation, the people, and the world generally. The time has come in light of realities to say, borrowing the words from Robert Kennedy … Why not? There is no rational argument that militates against a Ron Paul who calls things as they are. After all, whether people like to admit it or not, the fed (like wobama the b for b***s***) has failed virtually all of their mandates. Moreover, the bernanke fed’s policies have helped the frauds / perps (biggest still unprosecuted) on wall street to the detriment of literally everyone else. The same is true of the military industrial complex war-welfare plans as warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower in terms of the few they so favored at everyone else’s expense. The examples go on and on and are too numerous to list. Rogers: Paul is short on appeal (Washington Post) [ Yeah … he ain’t pretty … but this ain’t a beauty contest … Moreover, what has appeal gotten the nation? … where has appeal gotten the nation to? … 4 years of wobama’s ‘appeal’ aka b***s*** has left the nation in the toilet at best, cesspool at worst; and, in large part owing to the glaring fact that if ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ had done what he said he’d do and didn’t, the nation prospects, though still ominous, would have been substantially enhanced. For all but Paul, it’s the failed ‘same old, same old’ which is, as per paraphrasing Einstein, neither a plan, nor strategy, but rather insanity. Gingrich’s time of testingTHE TAKE | Can Gingrich survive rivals’ attacks, build a campaign that sustains his candidacy? (Washington Post) [ ‘Time of testing’? Oh, but he has been tested … scandal-scarred like no other, he has been found wanting … too much … not for the nation, but himself … he’s already failed any and all tests.  Newspaper Chaired By Private Equity Head Shockingly Endorses Mitt Romney For President; Ron Paul On Jay Leno   A few hours ago the Des Moines Register threw its support behind the Bain Capital founder, and the man now known to have actively destroyed any trace of his public "service" before his 2007 Massachusettes office handover (with a pending response to a Reuters FOIA, which will disclose just what it was that Romney was so tenuously shredding). Because according to the Iowan newspaper, Mitt Romney "is the best to lead" America, although into what, is not quite clear - perhaps the biggest Fed funded LBO (with a Bain Capital $1 mezz piece) of all time, that of America? We don't know. And neither does the Register's editorial board. What they do know are hollow adjectives, such as "sobriety", "wisdom" and "judgment" which somehow are applicable to Romney, if not so much "betting" and "shredding." Those looking for a late night laugh can read the OpEd below (link to tomorrow's front page here). And ironically, while likely set to provide a very short-term boost to Romney's chances, it is the baseless ongoing accusations against Ron Paul that will likely solidify the groundswell behind the Texan, with such desperate platitudes as "Ron Paul's libertarian ideology would lead to economic chaos and isolationism, neither of which this nation can afford." Because what America certainly needs is more of that old ideology of doing everything just the same and hoping for the best, because if there is anything Romney's would be predecessors have taught us is that hope apparently is a credible strategy. But perhaps most relevant is the reminder that the Des Moines Register is a Gannett company whose Chairman just happens to be one Marjorie Magner, whose bio reads: 'Ms. Magner, 61, is Managing Partner of Brysam Global Partners, a private equity firm investing in financial services firms with a focus on consumer opportunities in emerging markets founded in January 2007. She was Chairman and CEO of Citigroup's Global Consumer Group from 2003 to 2005. She served in various roles at Citigroup, and a predecessor company, CitiFinancial (previously Commercial Credit), since 1987. Ms. Magner currently serves as a director of Accenture Ltd. and Ally Financial Inc. and served as a director of The Charles Schwab Corporation from February 2006 to May 2008. Ms. Magner has broad business experience and financial expertise from the various senior management roles she held with Citigroup." (that Romney felt the need to ‘kiss the ring’ of failed president poppy bush says a lot about ‘regressive political persuasion’

 

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Albert L. Peia

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

Is Bernanke aggressive enough on jobs? While Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke has already left his mark on economic history not once, but twice, a debate is raging over whether he should become more diligent about reducing unemployment or continue with a more restrained approach. (Washington Post) [ ‘No-recession-helicopter-ben-b.s.-shalom-bernanke’ is a complete and utter failure who should be fired. He has failed all fed mandates (infra), while ‘electioneering/yearing’ a frothing of the markets with QE’s overt and sub rosa with runaway printing/creation of evermore worthless Weimar dollars for the irrationally exuberant wealth effect of frothing the markets for appearances and particularly for the frauds on wall street to ultimately as in last crash, the detriment of the vast majority. ( http://albertpeia.com/30bunglebenbernankequotes.htm  http://albertpeia.com/benbsshalombernankesellsfedpansgoldstandard.htm  )  Remember: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Guest Post: Why Bernanke Has Failed, And Will Continue To FailBen Bernanke's zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and command-economy efforts to maintain mispricing of risk, debt and assets are destroying capital and capitalism. No wonder his policies have failed so miserably. Bernanke's policy is to punish capital accumulation and reward leveraged debt expansion. Rather than enforce the market's discipline and transparent pricing of risk, debt and assets, Bernanke has explicitly set out to re-inflate a destructive, massively unproductive credit bubble…,… 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. ] ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.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 (as now), the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher (as now)…    ,   Morgan Stanley On Why The Gig Is Up  "What we have on our hands is a good old fashioned quagmire" is how Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson sets up his surprisingly non-sheep-like perspective on the troubles that US equity investors may be about to face. Expanding on MS's bearish strategic (fundamental) forecast, that we discussed earlier in the week, Wilson combines the 'liquidity vs negative-real-rate' thesis (that the Fed's liquidity is perhaps no longer 'good' for stocks) with his own views on ECRI's weakness (very 2008-like in relation to ECO surprises), household debt deleveraging (more and longer), how much QE3 is already priced in and what will its effect be when it comes (less and less positive in nominal and real terms), investor sentiment (very bullish), long-term technicals (weak breadth), and short-term earnings expectations (deteriorating and weighted to 'weak' financials to end with the pragmatic realist perspective that perhaps 'the gig is up'

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? … 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.

Obama holds key leads over Romney on top issues, personal traits But contest is more competitive when it comes to economy, jobs, according to new Post-ABC News poll. (Washington Post) [ I don’t believe these polls as favor obama for even a second. While it may seem unfair to single out abc inasmuch as any mainstream news disseminator is as unreliable, the fact is that while there are many stupid people in america, there really aren’t that many people who are that stupid. The fact is that the guy they know (‘ devil that you know verses the “devil” that you don’t ‘) is so bad and without any integrity whatsoever and such a proven  failure, that only the dumbest fool could invite the fool me twice scenario with wobama the b for b***s*** who has broken virtually every campaign promise on which he ran and was elected; and as it has turned out, to the nation’s substantial detriment. Mainstream media is a total joke and a testament to how far the nation has fallen. There’s no downside to Romney because there’s no upside to wobama, the jive-talking black man as he reminds us as he did when he reminded us that that if he had a son, he’d look like that little thief/would have been future criminal trayvon martin. As for the Post, almost everything seems controversial these days and their comment section for the more controversial topics particularly is down/not working/doesn’t post more often than not and I no longer even bother with, waste my time alerting them to the problems. Virtually every criticism of Romney is in the realm of wobama’s been there done that; including the purported cozy relationship with wall street as we all wait for wobama’s promised prosecutions at the highest levels … don’t hold your breath.

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Dear Albert L. Peia,

Can you believe this?  After the largest online protest in history, the Obama administration is still voicing support for SOPA.

We promised to ask for your help if SOPA returned. We're asking now. This kind of backtracking demands a strong, fast response. We're running a petition to demand that Obama drop all support for internet censorship.

Our goal? Get more signatures than the top petition on whitehouse.gov -- 151,000 signatures. Tell Obama to promise: "I will never advance legislation that blocks websites or disconnects Americans’ internet access.”

What is the White House working on exactly? Just the other day, the administration sent a letter to Congress to demonstrate their support for new internet censorship legislation. A few weeks ago, the White House struck a deal to give corporations private powers to shut down your internet connection (after "six strikes" without due process or judicial review), completely in secret.

Obama's internet would let private companies block sites and turn off our web connections. Blocking websites censors free speech, hurts jobs, and breaks the internet. These are tactics used by totalitarian governments and we believe they’re never ok.

 


As Wired noted*, "The White House did say that it wouldn't endorse a bill that endangers freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risks, or negatively affects the DNS system. On the other hand, it says elsewhere that "combating online infringement" -- not protecting free speech -- is a governmental priority "of the highest order." What about free speech, Obama?

Sign the petition now, then share it to keep the internet strong. Our friends need to know where the President is currently standing on SOPA.


We couldn't have stopped SOPA and PIPA without you and all of your friends! And we can't do it without you now. Let's make sure SOPA 2.0 never gets written.

Thank you,

Tiffiniy, Zak, Fight for the Future!

Let's get more signatures than any petition on whitehouse.gov.

* The Wired article can be read in full here: http://a.fightforthefuture.org/go/21?akid=69.1441637.MCqdep&t=10

Is Bernanke aggressive enough on jobs? While Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke has already left his mark on economic history not once, but twice, a debate is raging over whether he should become more diligent about reducing unemployment or continue with a more restrained approach. (Washington Post) [ ‘No-recession-helicopter-ben-b.s.-shalom-bernanke’ is a complete and utter failure who should be fired. He has failed all fed mandates (infra), while ‘electioneering/yearing’ a frothing of the markets with QE’s overt and sub rosa with runaway printing/creation of evermore worthless Weimar dollars for the irrationally exuberant wealth effect of frothing the markets for appearances and particularly for the frauds on wall street to ultimately as in last crash, the detriment of the vast majority. ( http://albertpeia.com/30bunglebenbernankequotes.htm  http://albertpeia.com/benbsshalombernankesellsfedpansgoldstandard.htm  )  Remember: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Guest Post: Why Bernanke Has Failed, And Will Continue To FailBen Bernanke's zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and command-economy efforts to maintain mispricing of risk, debt and assets are destroying capital and capitalism. No wonder his policies have failed so miserably. Bernanke's policy is to punish capital accumulation and reward leveraged debt expansion. Rather than enforce the market's discipline and transparent pricing of risk, debt and assets, Bernanke has explicitly set out to re-inflate a destructive, massively unproductive credit bubble…,… 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. ] ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.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 (as now), the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher (as now)…

What Sarah Palin's "Today Show" appearance proves (Washington Post) [ More than anything else, it proves that ‘dumb’ sells in america. ‘You know it when you see it’ (supreme court obscenity test of old) kind of dumb that’s funny because it’s ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ kind of dumb/funny. Sweet sister sarah, hypocrite extraordinaire with closet skeletons to spare, we gotta’ at least wonder whether Alan West whom she ‘endorsed’/recommended for the VP nod had been one of her black lovers. Of course, that would in fact be stupid because wobama will get near 100% of the black vote for no reason other than the fact that he’s black. But who’s listening to pickled-brain palin who has no credibility in reality whatsoever but provides great source material for comedy as SNL of which she’s quite proud, media hound that she is and as the article points out.

 

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’

 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

http://albertpeia.com/typicalblackmanonneighborhoodwatch.htm

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’

 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA.

Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense.

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss. Nah! Somehow I can’t picture Mr. Milbank on any sports field, much less a baseball field. Then I thought, maybe a story of pet dog puppymill banks that have been getting some press of late. Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

 

Intelligence officials retain citizens’ data longer Justice Dept. approves new guidelines allowing counterterrorism agencies to keep information about U.S. residents for up to five years, even if those residents have no known connection to terrorism. ‘Drip by drip our freedoms are vanishing’ (Washington Post) [ Indeed, this is true; but, hardly unprecedented in failing, falling, regimes, nations, empires. Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

Regardless of machinations, the fact is they do and that’s not all they monitor; enter their cozy deal with google (I still use google almost exclusively for my web search as a matter of disclosure here). Moreover, phones (wireless and landlines, computer and digital television transmissions/views), and I also believe digital / wire financial transactions / transmissions are monitored.

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion, Q4 GDP Comes As Expected, Claims Miss Big Two Weeks In A RowFollowing last Thursday's weekly claims release we said "Initial Claims Beat Expectations, To Miss Next Week Following Revision" and sure enough, last week's 348K beat of 350K expectations has been revised wildly higher, to 364K, meaning the initial beat was not only a miss, it was wide by a mile relative to the 350K preliminary expectation. But robots do not care - all they care is the current print, which however this time also missed, printing at 359K on expectations of a 350K number. This is the first 4 week increase in the 4 week SMA since September as the weather impact of the record warm winter starts to fade away, as explained yesterday. Same gimmicks in the continuing claims number too which like everything out of the BLS is so meaningless for concurrent data, we will probably just wait until the next week revision to get a sense of what is truly happening. More troubling is that 78K people fell of extended and EUC claims as more and more drop out of the workforce. This means the unemployment rate just dropped courtesy of even more people giving up on finding work. Thank heavens for BLS math. In other news, the final Q4 GDP revision came unchanged at 3.0%, in line with expectations. There were no major changes to the components, however Personal consumption did decline modestly from the second revision's 1.52% to 1.47%. It also appears that the government has been consistently taking away less and less from "growth", detracting 0.93%, 0.89% and 0.84% with every consecutive revision.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong).

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal went to jail (where they belong).

An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

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

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:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer's browser) as per your office's request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I've installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named '112208opocoan'). The (civil) RICO action (as you're aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and at! torney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims pr obably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).


Th! e document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].


The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI's LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meetin! g and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter w as assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did - he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? - and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation - Andrew Maloney's the one that prosecuted gotti).


In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,



* 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 o! f Connecticut, who denied Coan's requested relief as to Coan but precl uded 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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'.



There is applicable ins! urance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.


Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Peia:

 

Thank you for being in touch.  As we continue the busy first session of the 112th Congress, I want you to know that I am grateful for the various times you have shared your thoughts and concerns with me on different issues.  Please be assured that your voice is being heard and that your perspective helps me to better represent you in Washington, D.C

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

 

 

11-5-11

 

 

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’.  43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that 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 would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Albert L. Peia



 

 

Repeal ‘Stand Your Ground’ As Trayvon Martin’s death shows, such laws are a license to kill.  (Washington Post) [ Well, the fact is that criminals who make neighborhood watch necessary need no licenses to kill. Indeed, this 3-24-12 robbery/murder by a black of a white store-owner who complied with all the killer’s demands and offered no resistance or provocation and complete compliance, was killed by the ‘rabid dog’ anyway. At some point rational people must say, ‘thus far and no further’! Stand your ground must stand! People should be more objective, and not base their opinions as this clearly on shades of race and inherent bias alone!

ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes.

Obamacare’s oxymoron  The mandate contradicts centuries of contract law.(Washington Post) [ Indeed, not to mention constitutional law.

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss.

Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

 

 

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

 

 

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about black on white violent crime.

 

From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Google search for "Black on White crime"

The Color of Crime - "Blacks are statistically 50 times more likely to attack whites than vice versa"

 The rare white-on-black attack is always 'front page' and featured coverage by most news media
while the daily black-on-white attacks are “disappeared”: Either not reported on at all, reported only by local newspapers, but “whited out” of local TV and national newspaper coverage, or reported without informing viewers of the respective races of the attackers and victim.

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

Obama Administration Tries To Shut Down Rush Limbaugh

Intelligence officials retain citizens’ data longer Justice Dept. approves new guidelines allowing counterterrorism agencies to keep information about U.S. residents for up to five years, even if those residents have no known connection to terrorism. ‘Drip by drip our freedoms are vanishing’ (Washington Post) [ Indeed, this is true; but, hardly unprecedented in failing, falling, regimes, nations, empires. Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

The nation generally, and connecticut particularly should be thankful lieberman’s gone as his efforts, energies on behalf of israel have always been antithetical to the interests of both.

Jobless claims hit 4-year low Data bolster the view that the job market is strengthening. (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! Just in time for the elections … hey, a temp job’s still a job, so they say; and, at $275,000 per stimulus job, lets count them twice forever. Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job...  , Presenting The American Sweatshop: An Infographic Of The Online Retail Warehouse Temp JobOne of the biggest surprise stories of the past several months, in addition to economic activity skewing record warm weather, and the New Normal seasonal adjustments (which as Albert Edwards noted earlier are giving data an upward bias for each of the past three years), is the consistently "better than expected" jobs numbers. There is one problem: as discussed previously, the rising jobs are purely a quantity over quality trade off, as every month more and more temp jobs take the place of permanent ones, especially those of former professionals from the FIRE sector. In fact, in January temp jobs soared by the most on record, and the total number of temp workers was just shy of all time highs. Ironically, as this happened, discretionary online retail companies have seen their stock price soar to record highs. One of the primary drivers for this has been the increased "efficiency" at these companies' hubs - their warehouses. Which just happen to be staffed with temp workers. The following infographic presents the reality behind these American "sweatshops" - because this is the "quality" of job that is rising rapidly in the current economy (at the expense of traditional permanent jobs) to give the impression of an economic recovery. There is no point in making an ethical judgment - work conditions are as they are. Just as workers at FoxConn likely have far better conditions than their peers, at least in their view, so do these temp workers view their life as better than the alternative, which is unemployment. It is, as they say, what it is.

Unfortunately, it’s those corrupt, greedy rich oligarchs who have had their way in bringing the nation down through misdirected policy influence (ie., wars/military industrial complex, etc.), protection of huge frauds still extant (marked to anything courtesy of contraindicated legislated FASB rule change), etc. (a list too long for this comment). The time has come for all people in and outside of this nation to embrace this foregoing reality, truth. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’.  43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist: War Is Widely Thought To Be Linked To Economic Good Times NONSENSE Washingtons Blog | Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy Washingtons Blog
November 1, 2011

‘Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy

Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman wrote yesterday:

Military spending does create jobs when the economy is depressed. Indeed, much of the evidence that Keynesian economics works comes from tracking the effects of past military buildups.

(Mr. Krugman has said the same thing many times in the past. And many other influential people havesaid the same thing.)

I am not a Nobel prize winning economist but Joseph Stiglitz is.

Stiglitz wrote in 2003:

War is widely thought to be linked to economic good times. The second world war is often said to have brought the world out of depression, and war has since enhanced its reputation as a spur to economic growth. Some even suggest that capitalism needs wars, that without them, recession would always lurk on the horizon.

Today, we know that this is nonsense. The 1990s boom showed that peace is economically far better than war. The Gulf war of 1991 demonstrated that wars can actually be bad for an economy.

Stiglitz has also said that this decades Iraq war has been very bad for the economy. See thisthis andthis.

A No-Brainer

This is a no-brainer, if you think about it.

Weve been in Afghanistan for almost twice as long as World War II. Weve been in Iraq for years longer than WWII. Weve been involved in 7 or 8 wars in the last decade. And yet still in a depression. (And see this).

If wars really helped the economy, dont you think things would have improved by now?

Indeed, the Iraq war alone could end up costing more than World War II. And given the other wars weve been involved in this decade, I believe that the total price tag for the so-called War on Terror will definitely support that of the Greatest War.

Additional Reasons War Is Bad for the Economy

The New Republic noted in 2009:

Conservative Harvard economist Robert Barro has argued that increased military spending during WWII actually depressed other parts of the economy.

Also from the right, Robert Higgs has done good work showing that military spendingwasnt the primary source of the recovery and that GDP growth during WWII has been greatly exaggerated.

And from the left, Larry Summers and Brad Delong argued back in 1988 that five-sixths of the decline in output relative to the trend that occurred during the Depression had been made up before 1942.

Economist James Galbraith has shown that war always causes inflation, which hurts the average American:

Inflation applies the law of the jungle to war finance. Prices and profits rise, wages and their purchasing power fall. Thugs, profiteers and the well connected get rich. Working people and the poor make out as they can. Savings erode, through the unseen mechanism of the inflation tax meaning that the government runs a big deficit in nominal terms, but a smaller one when inflation is factored in.

(Ben Bernanke says that inflation is a tax, and Dylan Grice notes that inflation causes societies to prosecute minorities.   And sorry but we cant inflate our way out of our debt trap.)

As I noted last year:

All of the spending on unnecessary wars adds up.

The U.S. is adding trillions to its debt burden to finance its multiple wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.

Two top American economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff show that the more indebted a country is, with a government debt/GDP ratio of 0.9, and external debt/GDP of 0.6 being critical thresholds, the more GDP growth drops materially.

Specifically, Reinhart and Rogoff write:

The relationship between government debt and real GDP growth is weak for debt/GDP ratios below a threshold of 90 percent of GDP. Above 90 percent, median growth rates fall by one percent, and average growth falls considerably more. We find that the threshold for public debt is similar in advanced and emerging economies

Indeed, it should be obvious to anyone who looks at the issue that deficits do matter.

A PhD economist [Michel Chossudovsky] told me:

War always causes recession. Well, if it is a very short war, then it may stimulate the economy in the short-run. But if there is not a quick victory and it drags on, then wars always put the nation waging war into a recession and hurt its economy.

You know about Americas unemployment problem. You may have even heard that the U.S. may very well have suffered a permanent destruction of jobs.

But did you know that the defense employment sector is booming?

As I pointed out in August, public sector spending and mainly defense spending has accounted for virtually all of the new job creation in the past 10 years:

The U.S. has largely been financing job creation for ten years. Specifically, as the chief economist for BusinessWeek, Michael Mandel, points out, public spending has accounted for virtually all new job creation in the past 10 years:

Private sector job growth was almost non-existent over the past ten years. Take a look at this horrifying chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs1.gif

Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period.

Its impossible to overstate how bad this is. Basically speaking, the private sector job machine has almost completely stalled over the past ten years. Take a look at this chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs2.gif

Over the past 10 years, the private sector has generated roughly 1.1 million additional jobs, or about 100K per year. The public sector created about 2.4 million jobs.

But even that gives the private sector too much credit. Remember that the private sector includes health care, social assistance, and education, all areas which receive a lot of government support.

***

Most of the industries which had positive job growth over the past ten years were in the HealthEdGov sector. In fact, financial job growth was nearly nonexistent once we take out the health insurers.

Let me finish with a final chart.

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs4.gif

Without a decade of growing government support from rising health and education spending and soaring budget deficits, the labor market would have been flat on its back.

Indeed, Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich lamented last year

Americas biggest and only major jobs program is the U.S. military.

Back to my essay:

Raw Story argues that the U.S. is building a largely military economy:

The use of the military-industrial complex as a quick, if dubious, way of jump-starting the economy is nothing new, but what is amazing is the divergence between the military economy and the civilian economy, as shown by this New York Times chart.

In the past nine years, non-industrial production in the US has declined by some 19 percent. It took about four years for manufacturing to return to levels seen before the 2001 recession and all those gains were wiped out in the current recession.

By contrast, military manufacturing is now 123 percent greater than it was in 2000 it has more than doubled while the rest of the manufacturing sector has been shrinking

Its important to note the trajectory the military economy is nearly three times as large, proportionally to the rest of the economy, as it was at the beginning of the Bush administration. And it is the only manufacturing sector showing any growth. Extrapolate that trend, and what do you get?

The change in leadership in Washington does not appear to be abating that trend[121]

So most of the job creation has been by the public sector. But because the job creation has been financed with loans from China and private banks, trillions in unnecessary interest charges have been incurred by the U.S.And this shows military versus non-military durable goods shipments:

http://marketoracle.co.uk/images/2010/Jan/us-collapse-18-11.gif

[Click here to view full image.]

So were running up our debt (which will eventually decrease economic growth), but the only jobs were creating are military and other public sector jobs.

PhD economist Dean Baker points out that Americas massive military spending on unnecessary and unpopular wars lowers economic growth and increasesunemployment:

Defense spending means that the government is pulling away resources from the uses determined by the market and instead using them to buy weapons and supplies and to pay for soldiers and other military personnel. In standard economic models, defense spending is a direct drain on the economy, reducing efficiency, slowing growth and costing jobs.

A few years ago, the Center for Economic and Policy Research commissioned Global Insight, one of the leading economic modeling firms, to project the impact of a sustained increase in defense spending equal to 1.0 percentage point of GDP. This was roughly equal to the cost of the Iraq War.

Global Insights model projected that after 20 years the economy would be about 0.6 percentage points smaller as a result of the additional defense spending. Slower growth would imply a loss of almost 700,000 jobs compared to a situation in which defense spending had not been increased. Construction and manufacturing were especially big job losers in the projections, losing 210,000 and 90,000 jobs, respectively.

The scenario we asked Global Insight [recognized as the most consistentlyaccurate forecasting company in the world] to model turned out to have vastly underestimated the increase in defense spending associated with current policy. In the most recent quarter, defense spending was equal to 5.6 percent of GDP. By comparison, before the September 11th attacks, the Congressional Budget Office projected that defense spending in 2009 would be equal to just 2.4 percent of GDP. Our post-September 11th build-up was equal to 3.2 percentage points of GDP compared to the pre-attack baseline. This means that the Global Insight projections of job loss are far too low

The projected job loss from this increase in defense spending would be close to 2 million. In other words, the standard economic models that project job loss from efforts to stem global warming also project that the increase in defense spending since 2000 will cost the economy close to 2 million jobs in the long run.

The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst has also shown that non-military spending creates more jobs than military spending.

So were running up our debt which will eventually decrease economic growth and creating many fewer jobs than if we spent the money on non-military purposes.

As I wrote last year:

It is ironic that Americas huge military spending is what made us an empire but our huge military is what is bankrupting us thus destroying our status as an empire.

Even Admiral Mullen seems to agree:

The Pentagon needs to cut back on spending.

Were going to have to do that if its going to survive at all, Mullen said, and do it in a way that is predictable.

Indeed, Mullen said:

For industry and adequate defense funding to survive the two must work together. Otherwise, he added, this wave of debt will carry over from year to year, and eventually, the defense budget will be cut just to facilitate the debt.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates agrees as well. As David Ignatius wrote in the Washington Post in May:

After a decade of war and financial crisis, America has run up debts that pose a national security problem, not just an economic one.

***

One of the strongest voices arguing for fiscal responsibility as a national security issue has been Defense Secretary Bob Gates. He gave a landmark speech in Kansas on May 8, invoking President Dwight Eisenhowers warnings about the dangers of an imbalanced military-industrial state.

Eisenhower was wary of seeing his beloved republic turn into a muscle-bound, garrison state militarily strong, but economically stagnant and strategically insolvent, Gates said. He warned that America was in a parlous fiscal condition and that the gusher of military spending that followed Sept. 11, 2001, must be capped. We cant have a strong military if we have a weak economy, Gates told reporters who covered the Kansas speech.

On Thursday the defense secretary reiterated his pitch that Congress must stop shoveling money at the military, telling Pentagon reporters: The defense budget process should no longer be characterized by business as usual within this building or outside of it.

While some might want to start another war, Americas top military leaders and economists say that would be a very bad idea.

Indeed, military strategists have known for 2,500 years that prolonged wars are disastrous.

Note 1: Security experts conservative hawks and liberal doves alike agree that waging war in the Middle East weakens national security and increases terrorism. See thisthisthisthisthisthis and this.

Terrorism in turn terrorism is bad for the economy.  Specifically, a study by Harvard and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) points out:

From an economic standpoint, terrorism has been described to have four main effects (see, e.g., US Congress, Joint Economic Committee, 2002). First, the capital stock (human and physical) of a country is reduced as a result of terrorist attacks. Second, the terrorist threat induces higher levels of uncertainty. Third, terrorism promotes increases in counter-terrorism expenditures, drawing resources from productive sectors for use in security. Fourth, terrorism is known to affect negatively specific industries such as tourism.

The Harvard/NBER concludes:

In accordance with the predictions of the model, higher levels of terrorist risks are associated with lower levels of net foreign direct investment positions, even after controlling for other types of country risks. On average, a standard deviation increase in the terrorist risk is associated with a fall in the net foreign direct investment position of about 5 percent of GDP.

So the more unnecessary wars American launches and the more innocent civilians we kill, the less foreign investment in America, the more destruction to our capital stock, the higher the level of uncertainty, the more counter-terrorism expenditures and the less expenditures in more productive sectors, and the greater the hit to tourism and some other industries.

Moreover:

Terrorism has contributed to a decline in the global economy (for example, European Commission, 2001).

So military adventurism increases terrorism which hurts the world economy. And see this.

Note 2: True conservatives are anti-war.’

On September 22, 2011 I spoke with FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and with whom I had discussed the matters of which you are aware; and which matters are well within Washington's ability to easily resolve what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law quite some time ago. It is difficult to imagine the u.s. government solving the gargantuan, nation-destructive problems confronting the nation when through typical corruption, meaningful lawlessness, lack of will, etc., have chosen not to solve my matter as related to you in accordance with clear law and which would clearly be the right thing to do at long last.
Previously I wrote to thank you for thinking of me and for the courtesy extended. However, in all honesty, with rare exceptions (ie., maybe 'post-cards'?, etc.), I don't use the usps that I've found so unreliable. The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up and as pertains to the usps! As I've previously related to you, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

After all, UPS is well managed and efficient; and also, very reliable. On the other hand, the USPS is poorly managed, inefficient, and very unreliable:

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:
The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:
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:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer's browser) as per your office's request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I've installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named '112208opocoan'). The (civil) RICO action (as you're aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and at! torney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims pr obably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).


Th! e document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].


The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI's LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meetin! g and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter w as assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did - he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? - and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation - Andrew Maloney's the one that prosecuted gotti).


In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,



* 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 o! f Connecticut, who denied Coan's requested relief as to Coan but precl uded 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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'.



There is applicable ins! urance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:
The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:
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:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer's browser) as per your office's request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I've installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named '112208opocoan'). The (civil) RICO action (as you're aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and at! torney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims pr obably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).


Th! e document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].


The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI's LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meetin! g and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter w as assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did - he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? - and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation - Andrew Maloney's the one that prosecuted gotti).


In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,



* 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 o! f Connecticut, who denied Coan's requested relief as to Coan but precl uded 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://albertpeia/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 B! each, 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, 3rd 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'.



There is applicable ins! urance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

It is always somewhat reassuring that someone, like yourself in Washington, is committed to finding solutions to the myriad of problems confronting the nation; some insurmountable [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s Sep 21st, 2011 News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks… The government’s total indebtedness — its fiscal gap — now stands at $211 trillion’  8 More Reasons Why You Should Be Deeply Concerned That The U.S. Government Has Lost Its AAA Credit Rating The Economic Collapse ‘…  #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” ..’   ,    Soros: US Is Already in Double-Dip Recession CNBC.com  , the unprosecuted frauds on wall street …  Dave’s Daily:’.. The HAL 9000s have been doing business as HFTs (High Frequency Traders) launching many buy or sell programs using complex algorithms which can drive prices on indexes higher or lower in dramatic fashion. One of their great acts is called "quote stuffing". It's another illegal activity which the SEC hasn't quite figured out. It's as futile for them as the illegal fee-driven recent end-of-quarter price jam-job..’ End of Quarter Price Mark-Ups; Dave’s Daily   http://www.thestreet.com/story/11260606/1/end-of-quarter-price-mark-ups-daves-daily.html  Dave Fry  9-27-11 ‘All you need do is view the last week of June 2011, the previous quarter end, and you'll note a similar quarter end jam-job…’  , Roubini: U.S. in Throes of Economic Contraction Sep 27th, 2011 News (Bloomberg) , SHILLER: House Prices Probably Won’t Hit Bottom For Years Sep 27th, 2011  News (BusinessInsider) , etc. ] , confronting the nation. Yet it’s somewhat difficult to imagine that pension plans, particularly of the defined benefit variety as opposed to the more fiscally conservative defined contribution type, anywhere in america are over-funded in light of overly optimistic ‘assumptions’ for returns on said funds (ie., Drudgereport: STUDY: State, local gov'ts must raise taxes $1,400 a year for 30 years to fund pensions...
Chicago county faces $108 billion gap in pensions....
TREASURY RAIDS PENSIONS...
Treasury to tap pensions to fund government (Washington Post) ]. 

On September 22, 2011 I spoke with FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and with whom I had discussed the matters of which you are aware; and which matters are well within Washington’s ability to easily resolve what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law quite some time ago. It is difficult to imagine the u.s. government solving the gargantuan, nation-destructive problems confronting the nation when through typical corruption, meaningful lawlessness, lack of will, etc., have chosen not to solve my matter as related to you in accordance with clear law and which would clearly be the right thing to do at long last.  

Previously I wrote to thank you for thinking of me and for the courtesy extended. However, in all honesty, with rare exceptions (ie., maybe ‘post-cards’?, etc.), I don’t use the usps that I’ve found so unreliable. The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up and as pertains to the usps! As I’ve previously related to you, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

 

U.S. Postal Service nearing bankruptcy as email asserts its dominance [Good! Let UPS take them over … the usps is totally unreliable]

Drudgereport: BROKE: POST OFFICE SYSTEM MAY SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY THIS WINTER... [Good! Let UPS take them over … the usps is totally unreliable]
Postal Service warns it could default…[ No surprise here .. the usps is totally unreliable! ] ...
Post Office proposes cutting 120,000 jobs, pulling out of healthcare plan …[ Let UPS take over the usps! ]...


Unions angry over Postal Service cuts They said any move to break labor contracts to lay off 120,000 would hurt the already ailing movement. (Washington Post) [ I reiterate my call for the well managed, efficient, and reliable company, UPS to take over the operation of the poorly managed, inefficient, and unreliable USPS. Postal Service seeking 20 percent staff cut EXCLUSIVE | In cost-cutting bid, USPS also proposes withdrawing employees from existing health and retirement plans and creating its own benefit programs. Congress would need to sign off. (Washington Post) [ I think it’s a great idea. Indeed, 50% would be substantially better. Even better yet, UPS should take over their entire operation. After all, UPS is well managed and efficient; and also, very reliable. On the other hand, the USPS is poorly managed, inefficient, and very unreliable:

Krauthammer: Why Abbas went to the U.N. (Washington Post) [ Maybe Mr. Krauthammer should just ask him why Im sure hed get an earful of sound reasons. Then again, maybe Mr. Krauthammer might not be listening; after all, as a jewish man himself, hed certainly find himself within the exceedingly small minority of jewish people who would (listen certainly not the israeli lobby nor capital hill which the perspicacious Pat Buchanan has correctly observed as being occupied israeli territory). Yet, somewhere along Mr. Krauthammers timeline / history he conveniently but not surprisingly forgets what was already decided, yet never lived up to. After all (once again), if military-oriented warring states as israel are through aggression permitted to retain by superior military power the benefits of war, there would be no end to war; as in israels case, it would always pay to go to war. No one could rationally support such an irrational and untenable position. Hence: UN Resolutions 242 and 338  http://reut-institute.org/Publication.aspx?PublicationId=541  (I used the Reut Institute, an israeli organization, reference so as to preclude any accusation of anti-israeli bias).  This term refers to UN Security Council Resolutions that lay the foundation for the Israeli-Palestinian political process, based on territorial compromise and a solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees.

Definition

The term UN Resolutions 242 and 338 refers to two resolutions approved by the UN Security Council. Resolution 242 was approved after the 1967 war (11/67) while Resolution 338 was approved during the 1973 war (10/73).

Background

UN Resolutions 242 and 338 call for the peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict through territorial compromise. The acceptance of the Resolutions by Arab elements indicates their recognition of Israel.

The political process between Israel and the Arabs - including the 1978 Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt (9/78), the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty (3/79), the Madrid Conference (10/91), the Peace Treaty between Israel and Jordan (10/94), and the structure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process since 9/93 - is founded on these Resolutions.

Content of Resolutions

The main articles of UN Security Council Resolution 242 (11/67) call for:

  • Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the 1967 war.
  • Termination of the state of belligerency.
  • Mutual "acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area, and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force."
  • Achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem.

Resolution 338 (10/73) reiterates the importance of Resolution 242, and calls upon the sides to begin negotiations with the aim of achieving a just and durable peace.

Interpretations

The interpretation of the resolutions is the object of political and legal controversy primarily regarding two points:

Extent of Israeli withdrawal - The first article of Resolution 242 is an object of controversy because of differences in wording between the English and the French versions of the text. The English version talks about Israeli withdrawal "from territories...", while the French version talks about Israeli withdrawal "from the territories" (des territories...). Thus, the addition of the word "the" in the French version implies that Israel is required to withdraw from all the occupied territories.

Solution to the refugee problem - UN Resolution 242 talks about a "just settlement" to the refugee problem without addressing the specific solution that appears in UN General Assembly resolution 194. Arab countries, as well as others, interpret Resolution 194 as the basis for the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees1. Hence, they argue that Resolution 194 is the interpretation of a "just settlement" that appears in Resolution 242. However, because Resolution 242 does not specifically mention 194, Israel does not interpret it as harboring the "right of return" and therefore sees it as a possible basis for the solution to the refugee problem.

 

 

Some more history:

The Balfour Declaration of 1917 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration_of_1917#cite_note-1 (dated 2 November 1917) was a letter from the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.

His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."[1]

The statement was issued through the efforts of Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, the principal Zionist leaders based in London; as they had asked for the reconstitution of Palestine as the Jewish national home, the declaration fell short of Zionist expectations.[2]

As a former Doctor of Psychiatry, I’m sure Mr. Krauthammer might appreciate the last portion of this comment, infra: Abbas announces U.N. member bid Move appears to seal fate of U.S. efforts to broker a deal to resume Israeli-Palestinian talks. (Washington Post) [ U.S. (israeli) efforts? Resume infinite talks? Is this some parallel universe they’re operating in? Let’s apply the Einstein definition to such a preposterous position promulgated by the u.s. / israelis: ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ Time for action regarding this long overdue independent statehood which should be ‘fate accomplis’! U.N. showdown could test U.S. role in Mideast One week before a United Nations vote over Palestinian statehood, the Obama administration is confronting the stark new limits of its influence. (Washington Post) [  What role? As israel’s mouthpiece? War, war, and more war? Death, destruction, and self-defeat including defacto bankruptcy for the u.s.? Fomenting anti-american sentiment? What role? The role the israeli lobby says is appropriate for america? How foolish america has been! Anxieties mount over Palestinian statehood bid (WP) [ And anxieties mount over no statehood bid! What gives here! Only ‘yesterday’ (not long ago), hillary clinton was talking about the need for and appropriateness of same. Has the israeli lobby, so costly and detrimental to american interests here and abroad, given her and hers a ‘talking to’? . U.S. vetoes Security Council resolution denouncing Israeli settlements (WP) [ Drudgereport: Hillary Clinton: Israeli Settlements 'Illegitimate'… [We know that hill … We’ve known that for quite some time along with their illegal nukes, war crimes, etc…The whole world knows that so don’t just talk about it,DO SOMETHING!]..pervasively corrupt, defacto america’s self-defeating,self-destructive way U.S. vetoes Security Council resolution denouncing Israeli settlements Sounds like a plan!..for self-destruction! ] Israel's fear (WP)[Wake up! Illegal nuke totin’, war crimes nation israel’s fears-p l e a s e, spare me the pro-israeli b*** s*** ! What israel fears is a projection of their own ill-founded motives/actions for which all norms, rules, laws governing civilized behavior are suspended for expedience at the least, and blood-thirst that some posit as a remnant of their historic role as Christ-killers(with roman ‘juice’).  Isn’t it time, in these desperate times for america, to put u.s., not israel’s interests, first.Who cares what israel fears!In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States!     Israel wary of transition in Egypt, concerned about regional stability (Washington Post) [ Who cares what the paranoid, war criminal, illegal nuke totin’, war criminal israelis are wary of. This country has gone down the tubes cow-towing to the paranoid, self-interested concerns of the psycho / sociopathic zionist israelis who are forever projecting their own pathological motives to every turn of history while ignoring their own culpability in producing the very outcomes they purportedly seek to avoid. War, conflict, greed, bloodshed is the historically based israeli way. ]   A resurgent Syria alarms u.s., israel (Washington Post) [  Tell me! What doesn’t alarm these two paranoid, zionist neo-nazi regimes of oppression, suppression, aggression, and regression. If they were individuals, they’d undoubtedly be diagnosed as psychopaths, sociopaths totally ignorant of the rights of others, laws, civilized behavior as israel pads her illegal nuke arsenals with american supplied weaponry / support while expecting all other nations to ‘role over and die’. Bipolar / manic / depressive, the ups and downs are increasingly difficult for even americans to follow. Obsessive / compulsive thy names are zionist israel / america. Projection / displacement regarding their own illegal acts, war crimes, etc.; what they distinguished from what they do … dissociative identity disorder, (dissociative) psychogenic fugue? Yes … the u.s. and israel are the world’s lunatics, sorely in need of therapy! ]  Syria's fresh interference in Lebanon and its increasingly sophisticated weapons shipments to Hezbollah have alarm officials and prompt Israel's military to consider striking a Syrian weapons depot.
Editorial: Russia and China’s cowardly vetoes (Washington Post) [ How sad … for the editorial board of this newspaper … While there may have been a time when such an observation might have been appropriate, that certainly isn’t so today; nor has it been otherwise so for quite some time. After all, what nation is invading other nations; killing, pillaging, and plundering for the sake of alignment with a regime for which propaganda has displaced even basic historic truths in covering their trail of warring destruction; ie., the coup d’etat / JFK assassination leaving the military industrial complex to their own (self-perpetuating) devices (more conflict / war for bigger budgets / corporate welfare) as warned against by the great though substantially underrated President General Eisenhower. I also must say that there’s been a curious ‘coincidence’ to ‘censor’ of my comments relating the militance of israel and that american faction so detrimental to this nation and the world to the point that complaints about same have been futile and no longer made by me. With the longevity of newspapers already (and quite recently) predictably diminished (obsolescence, agendas, censor, etc.), one would have ‘expected something more’ in terms of the right thing, the honorable thing to do on the way out. Russia, China block Syria resolution They cast a rare double veto on the U.N. Security Council to block a draft resolution condemning Syria for its crackdown. (Washington Post) [ Yes; and even rarer was the rationality that went into such a double veto vote. After all, you don’t see the oppressive, repressive ‘nation state’ (? … family owned? … what’s up with that?) Saudi Arabia treated like Syria. Drugereport: Clashes in Saudi Arabia leave 14 wounded...
Police open fire on civilians... [But this is ok because saudi arabia’s a doormat for israeli/u.s. interests]

Rubin: How about OWS’s anti-Semitism? (Washington Post) [ When I first saw this headline I thought, zionist robert rubin’s retort; then expected a reference to failed secretary of treasury as he was, Hank Paulsen, a ‘Christian Scientist’. From the consequences of his disastrous reign and bailouts of the perpetrators of history’s largest frauds by far (bush’s base, ie., that 1%, etc.), to the detriment of the 99%, the rest of this nation, and the world; with no prosecutions, adding insult (to intelligence, etc.) to irrevocable injury, one might have though paulsen to have literally been a scientist of Christianity wherein he studied the effects of imposing (not vows of but real) poverty upon the Christian populace. While numbers can manipulated, and there are those stereotypes of greed, unscrupulous money hunger, ‘shylocks’, etc., ( I invite attention to the very worthy, well produced, documented video ‘Esoteric Agenda’ http://www.albertpeia.com/esotericagenda.flv  which discusses the rothchild banking cabal ), it’s really difficult to dismiss entirely the hugely disproportionate representation among the frauds on wall street {many unprosecuted courtesy of ‘goldman sachs’, etc., clout). Then again, one can’t really say ‘anti-semitic’ because the reference does not pertain to Arabs who are also Semites. It’s analogous to my own dilemma regarding the disportionate deleterious effect of corrupt jewish federal judges (ie., shiff, matz, etc.), trustees (panel, ie., coan), etc., relative to that of the corrupt Christian judges (ie., trump, hall, etc.), and trustee (ie., martini, leonard, etc.), and of the original RICO defendants (italian dogs, etc.) who payed their bribes through, ie., trump casinos, etc., and even directly, ie., private ‘retention’ of hugh leonard, u.s. trustee, and of all things, with (cia favored) illegal drug money at that. } So, while not totally logical, one might say in broader strokes given limited resources, not irrational either. After all, in my own experience, jews have favored jews over non-jews as myself, despite being contrary to facts and law. But, as well, Italian dogs as, ie., alito, etc. (and, God knows I loved and respected my Grandmother who was 100% Italian, and Grandfather, Como, Italy but of ancestral Greek origins) (yet I consider those seaside heights greeks dogs too!) , seem to have favored italian mobsters over me (I hate the mob!), which quid pro quo seems to have worked out well for alito and german trump. http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   and   http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     ]

Lewis: What would MLK say to Obama?  (Washington Post) [ He’d say not color of skin, but that ‘content of character thing’ should at least start at the DOJ under fellow black Holder. I mean, who would take them seriously if it didn’t!  UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '.    White House turns attention to blacks Focus comes amid a growing concern that economic conditions might hamper black voter turnout. (Washington Post) [ As if we couldn’t see that coming. Yet, the ‘make-work, make-shift’ jobs already extant in the federal, state, local ‘public service’ sectors along with the otherwise unemployable at, ie., the u.s. postal service, etc., are uneconomic and overly costly (Drudgereport: Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job... ) at best and downright wasteful at worst, the latter being the most prevalent scenario. Moreover, despite the rhetoric, blacks will always ‘back the black’. No criteria. No analysis. ‘Back the black’ their despoiling cry. I think wobama and holder are probably more concerned with making sure the ‘black panthers’ are in full force at the polls to intimidate white voters, which racism they’ve given ‘carte blanche’, protection from prosecution … UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '.

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing  (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous.

I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Then those fightin’ words from ‘the great prevaricator’ … (to GOP) unite behind his jobs bill or get ready to be run "out of town" … shows his disconnect with reality and proclivity for rhetoric / b***s*** since it’s he who should and will be ‘run out of town on a rail’.

[ This is quite incorrect! I’m not saying don’t target the Bilderbergers, CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and the Federal Reserve, etc.; but, for the most part, they are ‘frauds fait accomplis’, as ie., in accordance with the adgage ‘behind every fortune, a crime’ (subject to very few exceptions, ie., ‘the late, great Steve Jobs’ (bill gates is not among those exceptions). They (Alex Jones, et als) ignore, owing to their lack of ‘real world experience’, organized crime of its ‘various flavors’, ethnicities, even cabals / niches within government. The fact is and remains, as with politics (O’Neil), all crime is ultimately local. You must always prosecute the proximate crime causing the proximate harm without fail (nominal crimes as, ie., marijuana possession, should take a back seat to distribution, ie., cia, cartels, bribery, etc., given limited resources, budgetary constraints. After all, given the u.s. government’s involvement in the distribution aspects of the illegal drug business, ie., cocaine, etc., cia, etc., possession/use falls into the nebulous realm of civic / patriotic duty?). Only by so doing will you ultimately get those higher up on the criminal food chain who are ‘protected’ by layers of corrupt bureaucracy as is pervasive in american government / society, federal, state, and local. ]Don’t Let Obama Campaign Fronts Infiltrate OWS – Occupy The Fed Paul Joseph Watson | Join Alex Jones to strike a crushing blow against the true financial oligarchy.

Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. “From what I’ve seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agency’s chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law.” Agency staff “destroyed over 9,000 files” related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past year’s work. Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.33%   trading in American International Group credit-default swaps in 2009. Flynn also alleged that the agency destroyed documents and information collected for preliminary investigations at Wells Fargo & Co. WFC +1.34% , Bank of America Corp.

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims).. 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 DAs 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 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 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 blacks 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). ]

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

 

Ron Paul, the alternative candidate, is a force to be reckoned with He fears that America is turning into an Orwellian police state. Yet the obstetrician-turned-politician’s life could be described as the American Dream. (Washington Post) [ Yes, indeed! And, make no mistake, this is no paranoid delusion (as a Doc he at least knows what that means) on his part; but rather comports with a very grim reality even more ominous and real given the precarious state of the nation / world and the vulnerabilities of societies in light thereof. "Guantánamo Forever?" - Congress Passes $662 Billion Defense Bill, Aka The NDAACongress just passed the National Defense Authorization Act in a 283-to-136 vote. 190 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted for; 43 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted "against."

Time to give the Doc(s) a chance! A country Doctor sounds about what the nation needs in light of what ails it. That ‘lawyers are liars’ is almost tantamount in terms of reality to status as a proverb. Moreover, I’ve found they’re unable to count (an ability sorely wanting in Washington), and very vindictive when they’ve been shown (they’re adept at and love cover-ups) to be wrong or to have messed up (which is often) from my direct experience: Parker: Gingrich’s tone-deaf remarks on the poor  (Washington Post) [..sharpton?.. http://albertpeia.com/tawana.htm - I wrote this angry having just been mugged by 4 blacks/2 hispanics here in LA, along with the anti-white predisposition of blacks..Yet, in sharpton’s and partner mason’s ‘legal’ (illegal) heyday, I actually represented a black man, a walk-in/recently out of the army, whose unfortunate accident with his (owned) truck left him in arrears/default on his mortgage, which suit came before the late Honorable (among the few in jersey) U.S.D.C. Judge Sarokin (Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter case) upon my motion for failing to meet the amount in controversy, $75,000 –strictly construed, plaintiff midlantic bancorporation’s counsel miscounted and was off by less than $300. [ Some lawyers can’t count or do anything right: This is from a reply to the Congresswoman Roybal-Allard’s query ‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan (missed a filing date) is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted on my website)…regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety .. [.. a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, USDC #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for ..; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] ..should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process.. the government’s ability to resolve.. results do count! .. ] 

In state superior court, we opened, then on cross of their first ‘expert’ witness (regarding the amounts due), I moved to dismiss and strike the testimony for having failed and being unable to qualify said witness (owing to a very parochial and strict state rule of evidence in jersey – he had no other such witness for said purpose). The Honorable (among the few in jersey) Judge Weiss was inclined to rule accordingly, took us in chambers and strongly suggested opposing counsel call his client bank to sanction a favorable settlement to my client. The point is, I’m not a racist nor prejudiced. I am objective. I did ‘pay a big price’ for embarrassing the bank’s counsel; and, they made sure I knew it... so slimy is newt’s patronizing ‘showing up on Monday‘ remark that I’m constrained to ask, ‘is that what gingrich recently did for the $37 million from corporate “favor-seekers”?’. Or is it more likely he didn’t have to show up at all? The latter’s the reality.. the ‘mobster trump thing’ (corrupt sister maryanne trump barry, newly appointed,did corrupt a RICO action in which hundreds of thousands of illegal (drug) funds were being laundered through her brother’s casinos yet wouldn’t recuse herself despite my motion (http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     ).

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

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.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

 

 

 

Heres 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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

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

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | ‘Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding. Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself for fame and power, and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people.

BOOK WARNS OF END... BOOK WARNS OF END
Fri Oct 14 2011 07:00:25 ET

**Exclusive**

"As the faith that gave birth to the West is dying in the West, peoples of European descent from the steppes of Russia to the coast of California have begun to die out, as the Third World treks north to claim the estate. The last decade provided corroborating if not conclusive proof that we are in the Indian Summer of our civilization."

So begins Pat Buchanan in his hardcore work, SUICIDE OF A SUPERPOWER.

"Will America Survive to 2025?"

Buchanan, set for maximum controversy, launches all rockets at introduction "Disintegrating Nation" -- and does not let up for 400-plus pages.

"America is disintegrating. The centrifugal forces pulling us apart are growing inexorably. What unites us is dissolving. And this is true of Western Civilization....Meanwhile, the state is failing in its most fundamental duties. It is no longer able to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars."

The books reads as if its been written to be left behind in the ruins, only to be found by a future civilization.

SUICIDE ranked #2,668 on AMAZON's hit parade early Friday. It streets on Tuesday.

Now only the DRUDGE REPORT can offer a look inside.



Chapter 1: The Passing of a Superpower

“We have accepted today the existence in perpetuity of a permanent underclass of scores of millions who cannot cope and must be carried by society -- fed, clothed, housed, tutored, medicated at taxpayer’s expense their entire lives. We have a dependent nation the size of Spain in our independent America. We have a new division in our country, those who pay a double or triple fare, and those who ride forever free.”

Chapter 2. The End of Christian America

If [Christopher] Dawson is correct, the drive to de-Christianize America, to purge Christianity from the public square, public schools and public life, will prove culturally and socially suicidal for the nation.

“The last consequence of a dying Christianity is a dying people. Not one post-Christian nation has a birth rate sufficient to keep it alive....The death of European Christianity means the disappearance of the European tribe, a prospect visible in the demographic statistics of every Western nation.”

Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism

“Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand.”

“How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman’s right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?”

Chapter 4. The End of White America

“[W]hite America is an endangered species. By 2020, whites over 65 will out-number those 17 and under. Deaths will exceed births. The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear.”

Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being over-turned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution -- to “insure domestic tranquility” and ‘make us a more perfect union’? Or have we imperiled our union?” (Page 134)

Chapter 5. Demographic Winter

“Peoples of European descent are not only in a relative but a real decline. They are aging, dying, disappearing. This is the existential crisis of the West.” (Page 166)

“Not any Iranian weapon of mass destruction but demography is the existential crisis Israel faces....By mid-century...Palestinians west of the Jordan river will out-number Jews 2-1. Add Palestinians in Jordan, it is 3-1.”

“In a startling development of history, Russia’s population has fallen from 148 million in 1991 to 140 million today and is projected to plunge to 116 million by 2050, a loss of 32 million Russians in six decades.”

Chapter 6. Equality Vs. Freedom

“Those who would change society begin by changing the meaning of words. At Howard University, LBJ changed the meaning of equality from the attainable -- an end to segregation and a legislated equality of rights for African-Americans -- to the impossible: a socialist utopia.”

“Where equality is enthroned, freedom is extinguished. The rise of the egalitarian society means the death of the free society.”

“A time for truth. As most kids do not have the athletic ability to play high school sports, or the musical ability to play in the band, or the verbal ability to excel in debate, not every child has the academic ability to do high school work. No two children are created equal, not even identical twins. The family is the incubator of inequality and God its author.”

Chapter 7. The Diversity Cult

“The non-Europeanization of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality,” Wattenberg trilled.4 Yet, one wonders: What kind of man looks with transcendental joy to a day when the people among whom he was raised have become a minority in a nation where the majority rules?”

“Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World.”

Chapter 8: The Triumph Of Tribalism

America’s war of revenge against Japan was a race war. Newsreels, movies, magazines, comic books, headlines treated “Japs” as a repulsive race whose extermination would benefit mankind....Only well after the war was over was it re-branded a war to bring the blessings of democracy to...Japan.

We may deny the existence of ethnonationalism, detest it, condemn it. But this creator and destroyer of empires and nations is a force infinitely more powerful than globalism, for it engages the heart. Men will die for it. Religion, race, culture and tribe are the four horsemen of the coming apocalypse.

Chapter 9. ‘The White Party’

“Through its support of mass immigration, its paralysis in power to prevent 12-20 million illegal aliens from entering and staying, its failure to address the “anchor-baby” issue, the Republican Party has birthed a new electorate that will send it the way of the Whigs.”

Chapter 10: The Long Retreat

“We borrow from Europe to defend Europe. We borrow from the Gulf states to defend the Gulf states. We borrow from Japan to defend Japan. Is it not a symptom of senility to be borrowing from the world so we can defend the world?”

“Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?” …’

 

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

 

 

 

Heres 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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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.) .

  • 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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Dear Sirs / Madams:

 

If this were any other topic I would not trouble you. Yet, the comment concerning SOPA; and hence, censorship, failed to post in each of the seven or so articles I attempted to post to despite being within the 3000 word constraint. Moreover, my other comments this day posted without a hitch. What’s more disconcerting is that from a brief perusal, the prominent articles displayed seem to favor the legislation which I believe as does EFF to be dangerous at best and disastrous at worst. I believe the EFF’s position and concerns to be genuine. Quite simply, from direct experience, the u.s. government cannot be trusted to do the right thing and their reflexive inclination is to cover up what is not (I think you remember Watergate, etc.). That’s neither alarmist nor exaggeration; but rather, reality, and I have and there is a plethora of factual documentation to back that up!

 

Please advise and / or rectify.

 

 

Thank you.

The comment / post:

 

 

Anybody who does not oppose any government’s attempt to censor and worse as in this bill is a complete and utter fool. Among the few positives america has been able to point to relative to, ie., china, etc., such freedom if curtailed will herald a hastening of the demise of this nation as we knew it; even worse than the dismal future portended as a direct consequence of those who favor this regression. After all, what is ‘democracy’ without such free speech rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and envisioned by the founders of this nation.

 

I am deeply concerned by the danger these bills pose to Internet security,free speech online,and innovation. The Internet Blacklist Legislation is dangerous/short-sighted, and I urge you to join Senator Wyden and other members of Congress,such as Representatives Lofgren, Eshoo and Issa, in opposing it.

The Internet Blacklist Legislation - known as PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and StopOnlinePiracyAct(SOPA) in the House-is a threatening sequel to last year's COICA Internet censorship bill.  Like its predecessor, this legislation invites Internet security risks, threatens online speech, and hampers Internet innovation. Urge your members of Congress to reject this Internet blacklist campaign in both its forms!

Big media and its allies in Congress are billing the Internet Blacklist Legislation as a new way to prevent online infringement. But innovation and free speech advocates know that this initiative is nothing more than a dangerous wish list that will compromise Internet security while doing little or nothing to encourage creative expression.

As drafted, the legislation would grant the government and private parties unprecedented power to interfere with the Internet's domain name system (DNS). The government would be able to force ISPs&search engines to redirect or dump users' attempts to reach certain websites' URLs. In response, third parties will woo average users to alternative servers that offer access to the entire Internet (not just the newly censored U.S. version), which will create new computer security vulnerabilities as the reliability and universality of the DNS evaporates.

It gets worse: Under SOPA's provisions, service providers (including hosting services) would be under new pressure to monitor and police their users activities.  While PROTECT-IP targeted sites dedicated to infringing activities, SOPA targets websites that simply dont do enough to track and police infringement (it is not at all clear what would be enough).It creates new powers to shut down folks who provide tools to help users get access to the Internet the rest of the world sees (not just theU.S. authorized version). 

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has placed a hold on the Senate version, taking a principled stand against a very dangerous bill. Every Senator/Rep should be opposing the PROTECT IP Act and SOPA. https://www.eff.org

Ex-Penn State coach Sandusky jailed on new child sex abuse charges based on 2 new  (Washington Post) [ I glad to see more victims of this ‘self-promoted, self-created, self-styled, frolicking, fun-loving man-child’ come forward. It’s difficult to imagine much less discuss sandusky’s unmistakably heinous, sordid and disgusting activities which also bespeak abuse of power / position and breach of trust. Yet, aren’t these latter despicable characteristics now inextricably entwined with what is now fundamentally an evolved inherent american trait / character flaw that has persisted and grown through a corruption of all processes / values and sheer lack of courage? 

Penn States McQueary is shaken  EARLY LEAD | In e-mails, assistant who allegedly witnessed attack by Sandusky says, I did the right thing  (Washington Post) [ But not stirred, as in giving sandusky a well-deserved punch in the jaw. He did, however, do the right thing and within the law. After all, given the penchant for ‘cornholers’ in or around the penn state campus (ie., from no bail from a ‘connected judge’, to descriptions of this ‘frolicking man-child’, to a calmly protested innocence by psychopath pedophile sandusky, and even a quote from a loco local that sandusky was like a god, etc.), one could easily imagine McQreary going straight to jail with unrelenting attacks on his credibility to follow. Whew … all we can wonder is, ‘do they get out much’? Indeed, just to understand this penn state area mindset I’m going have to take another look at that well-done movie (and book of the same name by Dickey …whoops), ‘Deliverance’. I mean, a 10-11 year old boy anally raped by this serial psychopath and you just know by looking at sandusky there’s been not even a moment of remorse other than possibly for finally getting caught, if that. How many others? At least 10 more at this point. How can a boy ever get over this regardless of the extent of therapy? Life in prison is too good for sandusky. Sandusky says he's innocent TV COLUMN | Former Penn State defensive coordinator says in an interview that he is innocent of sex abuse charges. (Washington Post) [ There was actually an eyewitness to the rape of the boy; horsin’ around in the shower … like obscenity as per the supreme court of old, I think most anyone ‘knows it when they see it’ and that includes rape as opposed to ‘horsin around with young boys in the shower’. How pathetic! Watch for the cover-up!  Drudgereport: Penn State coach says he stopped shower assault... ‘…McQueary was placed on administrative leave last week after Penn State officials said he had received threats. According to the grand jury report, the graduate assistant said HE SAW A BOY, WHOSE AGE HE ESTIMATED AT 10 YEARS OLD, "BEING SUBJECTED TO ANAL INTERCOURSE" BY A NAKED SANDUSKY IN A SHOWER AT THE PENN STATE FOOTBALL BUILDING IN MARCH 2002 ( according to u.s. forum posts sandusky is a polish jew whose mothers maiden name is fittingly gross www.topix.com/forum/us/TM9KO1A74D6VPVFS7 - doesn’t he somewhat look like netanayhu?  ). The graduate assistant left "immediately," was "distraught" and called his father, according to the presentment. His father told him to leave the building and come to his home, according to the presentment.In the email obtained by The Morning Call, dated Nov. 8, McQueary said "I did stop it, not physically, but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room.""No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds," McQueary wrote. "Trust me."Asked about McQueary's statement in the email that he had discussions with police, Penn State police told The Morning Call they were deferring to the university public relations office, which did not return a call Tuesday afternoon. Pennsylvania State Police in Harrisburg, which is heading the investigation, did not return a call.McQueary has not spoken publicly and declined to be interviewed by The Morning Call…’    Ombudsman: Too much opinion in coverage (Washington Post) [ In truth, I was disinclined to comment on this rather sordid and disgusting story; not only because its a sordid and disgusting story, but because it involves one actual perpetrator. After all, if theres one thing for which americas infamously famous for being number 1 at (beyond that history-of-the-world record breaking fiscal gap of $211 trillion - Americas debt woe is worse than Greeces News (CNN) Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looksThe governments total indebtedness is $211 trillion ) its americas number 1 position by far in terms of crime (CRIME STATS(u.s.No.1) (from a few years back … worse now, and those were just the ‘reported crimes’, actual crimes far greater)

and so on. ). Yet, when I heard that the one fellow who observed the rape seemed to getting a ‘pass’ for reporting the incident, I felt compelled to comment (as a permanent record on my website). I’ve only followed in a cursory manner the news coverage. I disagree with ‘the ombudsman’ that there’s ‘too much opinion’ in the coverage. There should be plenty of opinion, and they should express well-founded outrage concerning this egregious scenario. Indeed, that the initial, let me disparage him by calling him ‘voyeur’ didn’t right then and there confront the mentally ill pervert / homosexual / pedophile rapist and then report it is beyond my ability to imagine. I couldn’t have restrained myself. When the new president (?) of the university said on the news that no one should ever fear doing the right thing, my only reaction was that he was talking of another place, another time if ever in america. That certainly is not the case in america today where crime / complicit silence / cover-up pays and pays well. In reality, there were salaries, positions,  and roughly $50 million + (in revenue per year) reasons for silence. I have personally found that almost without exception, americans are without any courage or integrity whatsoever (see infra, which also references crimes of none other than a supreme court justice alito who should resign, among many others deserving punishment / exposure, etc., instances too numerous to include here). People should be angry inasmuch as that kid’s life will never be the same. Actions have consequences. Unfortunately, in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless america, those impacts/consequences are invariably negative. There’s just no excuse for what america’s become! 

 

Penn State taps former FBI director Louis Freeh in child sex-abuse investigation ...PHILADELPHIA — Former FBI director Louis Freeh, tapped to lead Penn State’s...jury report issued earlier...2011-11-22 - Associated Press, AP (Washington Post) [ Oh yeah … they got the right guy for cover-ups, not that his successor mueller seems any better. Freeh will always cover up u.s. government crime … always … he rationalizes same as if a patriotic duty. Indeed, from jersey city, hudson county, new jersey, among the most corrupt in the nation by any standard, one mob or another, (and the armpit of the earth if you’ve ever been there) he’s consistently talked up his jersey roots as if a badge of honor. The contrary is the truth. ‘Louie the patriot’s’ vote of confidence in the u.s. and then some…- "Louis Freeh acquires Italian citizenship".- They had him pegged … the ultimate go along to get along! His new rationalization for being a fee-paid-schmoozer is probably his large family to support (8? kids). He was a plodding, untalented guy, and as untalented a crime-fighter which invariably as a matter of necessity leads to a career-bureaucrat status (one way or another) that doesn’t and hasn’t required real results (only that which can be schmoozed); but has required cover-ups particularly along (republican) party lines, ie., trump, alito, he backed giuliani, etc.. http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf      Wall street frauds and protection (exemption from RICO) grew during ‘freeh the bushman’s’ tenure (with reno / clinton –Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop/connection) as did the transfers of just about everything to communist china. America’s direct involvement in the illegal drug business was about all that can characterize his otherwise unremarkable FBI career (‘pizza connection case’) as protection was accorded the u.s. government’s illegal activity and competitors removed. World’s Largest Drug Dealer: The american empire is the largest drug dealer in the world!  Say it isn’t so. Well, in addition to forcing legal drugs and genetically modified organisms on nations, usually under the cover of foreign aid, America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA   ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related  ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html   ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan  [  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew  ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Will Freeh bungle Penn State child-sex abuse investigation too? [ Only accidently on purpose! In louis freeh’s quid pro quo bureaucratic world, true results DON’T COUNT! ] http://www.reddirtreport.com/Story.aspx/20474  By Andrew Griffin OKLAHOMA CITY More than two weeks after the public began to learn of the child-sex abuse allegations against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, we learn that former FBI Director Louis Freeh, now in the private sector, has been hired to uncover the truth about horrific child-sex abuse crimes in State College, Pennsylvania.

Freeh, you may recall, served as FBI director during the Clinton administration and was in that leadership spot during the 1995 Alfred P. Murrah building bombing. Now that Freeh has been tapped to lead Penn States investigation into the child-sex abuse allegations against Sandusky, and perhaps others, with information allegedly stretching back to 1975, Red Dirt Report wonders if Penn State really wants this crime to be solved and their questions to be answered.

As reported today, Freeh said: I will personally lead that investigation. The special committee has hired my law firm to conduct a fair and independent investigation. 

Good luck getting to the truth, Penn State. Given Freehs lousy reputation as a crimefighter and not surprisingly, former Pennsylvania Attorney General and current Gov. Tom Corbett gives Freeh a big thumbs up you would think Penn State would stay far, far away from Freeh, unless Freeh is expected to bungle, cover up and obfuscate while pretending to expose the crimes against children there in the Keystone State. We hope he is there to do the right thing by those victimized by Sandusky and others.

People at Penn State also known as Happy Valley have known about Sanduskys crimes and have covered for him and ousted, godlike Coach Joe Paterno. Note this article in the Beaver County Times which, back in April, was shouting from the rooftops about Sandusky and note that But theres no shortage of stories and rumors about Penn State football sweeping problems under the rug.

Freeh, we must note, is an interesting and controversial choice. Yes, controversy seemed to stick to Freeh like crazy glue throughout the 1990s. First, there was Freehs coverup of the 1992 Ruby Ridge travesty. Another big one involved the fallout from Waco, which spilled over into Freehs tenure, another botched event and subsequent cover-up. Freeh has a lot to answer for.

While Freeh is viewed as incompetent, he and his underlings were effective in covering up and/or ignoring major crimes and controversies over the years that he was charged to protect the American people. As Charles R. Smith wrote of Freeh at Newsmax.com in 2002: FBI Director Louis Freeh oversaw the longest run of FBI public disasters in its entire history with Freeh transforming the FBI from a federal law enforcement agency into a political joke.

Think about it. Freeh was in charge during the 500 missing FBI files incident, the Unabomber case, the Wen Ho Lee/Los Alamos files espionage case, the Montana Freemen showdown, the shoot down of TWA Flight 800  in 1996 and so on. Do you feel you have more answers or fewer answers on those incidents and tragedies? Think about it.

Oh, and did you know Freeh was appointed FBI director in July 1993, the day before Vincent Fosters body was found in Fort Marcy Park?, The prior director, William Sessions, was ousted by Attorney General Janet Reno in the wake of the Waco disaster a disaster Freeh would fail to fully investigate, according to reports.

In a September 2000 article in Business Week, writer Howard Gleckman, in a piece titled The Case Against Louis Freeh, the article absolutely blasts the director, who was still in charge at that time.

Writes Gleckman: The man (Freeh) has overseen a bureau that has bungled investigations of high-profile criminal cases and repeatedly misled probers and judges in legal proceedings never more shamelessly than in the matter of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee. At the same time, Freehs FBI has tried to run roughshod over the civil liberties of ordinary citizens, demanding access to encryption codes and elbowing its way onto every PC in the country through its Carnivore project.

Remember, that was written 11 years ago and one year before 9/11.

And for those of us here in Oklahoma City, still healing from the effects of the bombing more than 16 years later, to learn that former FBI Director Freeh is leading an investigation into a major crime which may involve connections to many other people, well, dont hold your breath folks. He had an opportunity to do the right thing by the victims of the bombing and he opted not to do the right thing and bring the real criminals to justice.

In fact, the idea that Freeh will uncover anything of substance good luck, Penn State scandal truthseekers is an absolute joke. For instance, Freeh was exposed as knowing a lot more about the details of who was involved in the bombing, far beyond Timothy McVeigh. Be sure to check out the upcoming release of Free Mind Films explosive documentary, A Noble Lie.

As exposed by the late J.D. Cash, an investigative reporter with the McCurtain Daily Gazette, Freeh and the FBI allegedly knew of a bomb plot and the activities of German intelligence contact and Neo-Nazi infiltrator Andreas Strassmeir at Elohim City in Adair County, Oklahoma. And what of Larry Potts, a leading FBI investigator? Freeh made sure Potts, his number two guy, rose in the ranks, yet what does Freeh think about accusations made against Potts, a villain linked to numerous botched cases? This includes comments by the late Timothy McVeigh, executed for his role in the bombing, who said Potts involved in Ruby Ridge and Waco knew him well and was forcing the former soldier-turned-radical to go off script and that McVeighs accomplice, Terry Nichols, said the bombing was an FBI op, as noted by a hard-hitting 2007 article in Utahs Deseret News.

As for Andy the German Strassmeir, much of his role in the FBI op was revealed in a January 1996 memo Freeh sent out to senior FBI field agents which noted the Southern Poverty Law Center/FBI joint sting operation at Elohim City, Okla. was being handled in the days prior to the bombing.

As Cash reported, while Freehs FBI put up border guards on the Mexican border to pick up Strassmeir for questioning in regards to his links to Elohim City and McVeigh, Strassmeir managed to slip through their fingers. The teletype, obtained via an FOIA request, was heavily redacted but reveals that FBI Director Freeh knew a lot more about the Oklahoma City bombing case than the public was led to believe. Why did Freeh allow Strassmeir to flee the U.S. and go back to Germany without being questioned about his role in the lead-up to the Oklahoma City bombing, the biggest domestic terror attack up to that time in history? Wouldnt Strassmeirs knowledge of McVeigh and others unknown have been useful to the federal investigation into the April 19, 1995 bombing here in Oklahoma City that killed 168 and wounded many others?

As Cash wrote, in a piece posted in 2005 at WorldNetDaily.com: The Freeh teletype also discusses an allegedly close relationship McVeigh had with a subject living at Elohim City, a person who, the teletype says, spoke with McVeigh only two days before the bombing.

Continuing, Cash, and co-writer Roger Charles note: That information, Freeh said, was from an informant who was working for the Southern Poverty Law Center a tax-exempt civil rights group co-founded by Morris Dees.

It was Freehs FBI that gathered up all the videotapes after the Oklahoma City bombing. Where are those tapes now, Mr. Freeh?

The FBI crime labs under Freeh were accused by an FBI whistleblower that evidence in OKBOMB had been tainted. And Freeh punished him, sending a chilling message to other potential whistleblowers. And yet Penn State, certainly knowing Freehs background and history, wants him to do an independent investigation into this serious case at Penn State, which some have reported may include Sanduskys involvement in pimping out children to wealthy Penn State donors?

Freehs predecessor, William S. Sessions, was FBI director when Ruby Ridge and Waco happened and was in charge when accusations arose against powerful people and institutions in the late 1980s and early 1990s regarding pedophile rings leading up to the top rungs of American political power, something some independent researchers claim goes on to this day. The 2005 Gannon-gate episode, as noted by reporter Wayne Madsen, was reminiscent of the 1989 pedophile and prostitution scandal linked to the Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. And interestingly, that scandal seems reminiscent of what we are seeing unfold at Penn State, if the allegations of Sandusky pimping kids out to wealthy school donors are indeed true, as reported by sports journalist Mark Madden.

The FBI seems to be more interested in crisis management and cover up than in actually solving serious crimes, as we have seen time and again.

When Red Dirt Report first learned that Freeh was hired by Penn State to investigate the Sandusky child-sex abuse case as an independent investigator, we thought about some of our sources who are still upset with Freeh for allegedly covering up so many aspects of what happened prior, during and after the Oklahoma City bombing. This includes the murders of Oklahoma City Police Officer Terry Yeakey and prisoner Kenneth Trentadue, killed while in federal custody in the wake of the OKC bombing, in what his brother Jesse Trentadue believes was a case of mistaken identity.That happened on Freeh and Renos watch.

Red Dirt Report is very skeptical of Freeh and whether or not he will really find out anything of consequence and if he does, be on the alert that if it involves very powerful and influential people.

Think about it. It was at the end of his tenure that Freeh, a devout Roman Catholic and rumored to be linked with the shadowy Opus Dei organization, dramatized in Dan Browns Catholic Church-linked conspiracy thriller The DaVinci Code, was revealed as actually attending the same church as devoted Opus Dei Catholic and FBI agent-turned-spy Robert Hanssen. Freeh notes in his bio My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton and Fighting the War on Terror, that he didnt know that Hanssen, a fellow parishioner at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Great Falls, Va., was up to no good and selling us out to the Russians and earning Hanssen the infamous name the most damaging spy in history. Somehow, the big ones tend to get by Freeh. Hmmm.

Interestingly, exactly six months prior to the terror attacks of 9/11/01, some pamphleteers critical of Freeh and his cover up of the 1993 holocaust of Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas appeared outside his church. While the critics of Freeh and his FBI were angrily driven off the church property by the priest, the somewhat rambling pamphlet notes accuses Freeh of being a conspirator in the murder of the Branch Davidians, an accessory after the fact.

Perhaps Louis Freeh has learned a lot since those crazy days of the 1990s. Perhaps he has had time to reflect on his career and the crimes he was charged with investigating, on behalf of the American people.

But were not sure, given his awful record in tracking down the real criminals in numerous high-profile cases. As one person who lost  several family members in the Oklahoma City bombing told us this afternoon of Freeh and his new assignment at Penn State, (Freeh) screwed up here and hes going to screw up there. There arent many fans of Freeh back here in Oklahoma. We hope folks in Pennsylvania take that into account as their independent investigation is launched.

For the sake of the victims at Penn State and those who are extraordinarily upset and outraged about what took place there for many, many years, we truly hope Louis Freeh uncovers the truth and that the despicable Jerry Sandusky and others are ultimately brought to justice.’

Donald Trump Dismisses Ron Paul as “Joke Candidate” Kurt Nimmo | Millions of Americans support Paul’s call for ending foreign aid. [ Yet it’s trump who is the big joke (which makes america look like a bigger joke)! He’s a caricature at best, and the joke that keeps on giving (SNL, etc.), and a government-protected mobster (worried he’ll lose his ‘protected’ status under a legitimate administration). ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., as does himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

Wayne Madsen: Holder’s Fast & Furious was Designed to Destablize Mexican Government Infowars Nightly News | ‘Wayne Madsen has learned from his contacts within the Beltway intelligence community that Jared Lee Loughner is an “MK-ULTRA” programmed assassin and that US District Judge John Roll and Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords were targetted for assassination.The reason for the decision to target Judge Roll and Congresswoman Giffords has to do with their knowledge of the malicious and purposeful arming of Mexican drug gangs along the US-Mexico border by US intelligence agency assets in an effort designed to destablize the Mexican government.This towards the end of making Mexico more dependent on US military aid and protection from its private security contractors.A key quote from Wayne Madsen’s report follows:

WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009.Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety.Loughners was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels Sinaloa and Los Zetas in order to destabilize Mexico.

Parker: Gingrich’s tone-deaf remarks on the poor  (Washington Post) [ Let me say at the outset, whether correct or not, when it comes to sharpton, the medium is the message (I never got past that ‘Call Me Twana, Bwana’ thing with him  http://albertpeia.com/tawana.htm  - When I wrote this I was still ‘a bit miffed’ by having just been mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics here in LA, along with the anti-white predisposition of blacks as well, here in LA particularly ). Yet, in sharpton’s and partner mason’s ‘legal’ (illegal) heyday, I actually represented a black man, a walk-in/recently out of the army, whose unfortunate accident with his (owned) truck left him in arrears/default on his mortgage, which suit came before the late Honorable (among the few in jersey) U.S.D.C. Judge Sarokin (Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter case) upon my motion for failing to meet the amount in controversy, $75,000 –strictly construed, plaintiff midlantic bancorporation’s counsel miscounted and was off by less than $300.

        

[ Some lawyers can’t count or do anything right: This is from a reply to the Congresswoman Roybal-Allard’s query ‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan (missed a filing date) is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that 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 would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’ ]           

 

In state superior court, we opened, then on cross of their first ‘expert’ witness (regarding the amounts due), I moved to dismiss and strike the testimony for having failed and being unable to qualify said witness (owing to a very parochial and strict state rule of evidence in jersey – he had no other such witness for said purpose). The Honorable (among the few in jersey) Judge Weiss was inclined to rule accordingly, took us in chambers and strongly suggested opposing counsel call his client bank to sanction a favorable settlement to my client. The point is, I’m not a racist nor prejudiced. But, I am objective and a realist. I did ‘pay a big price’ for said embarrassment to the bank’s counsel; and, they made sure I knew it. That said, let me reiterate that the inclusion of sharpton as a purveyor of rectitude leaves me somewhat less than receptive to Ms. Parker’s point. Yet again, so slimy and egregious is gingrich’s patronizing ‘showing up on Monday‘ remark that I’m constrained to ask, ‘is that what gingrich recently did for the $37 million from corporate “favor-seekers”?’. Or is it more likely he didn’t have to show up at all? The latter’s the reality, and from his record in being ‘driven from office on a rail’, one must wonder what he among others ever got paid for. Then there’s the ‘mobster trump thing’ (corrupt sister maryanne trump barry, newly appointed for said purpose, did corrupt a RICO action in which hundreds of thousands of illegal (drug) funds were being laundered through her brother’s casinos yet wouldn’t recuse herself despite my motion (see  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     ).

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims).. 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 DAs 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 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 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 blacks 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). ]

 

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA   ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related  ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html   ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan  [  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew  ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Five myths about Ron Paul  (Washington Post) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason he can point to based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle. Moreover, poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city, new jersey, and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and as well, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . wobama the b for b***s*** purports to be a lawyer which makes my aforesaid scenario the easiest thing in the world for him to understand, particulary his department of justice, which is now within the purview of calls for impeachment surrounding the ‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted; and, that’s at best. They may just as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump. Then in desperation romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed and new direction, policies are required. I think the choice is rather simple. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

 

 

 

Heres 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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Albert L. Peia

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

Braveheart Republicans?  Or would false-hearted be more accurate? (Washington Post) [ Truth be told, it was the picture of Mel as Wallace (‘Braveheart’) that caught my attention; among my favorite films in terms of being a portrait of courage. I’ve found, almost without exception, at almost every nuanced turn, that americans are without any courage whatsoever. Yet, my limited disappointment with the film lay in the favorable treatment accorded the ignoble noble bruce. Indeed, bruce’s belated ‘love and respect’ for Wallace post-mortem was no excuse (but good politics?) for unforgivably ‘failing to show up as promised’ at the behest of the typically misguided ‘old-boys’ network’ of nobles (including his father), which of course was fatal for Wallace. For scotland that’s since meant being a mere cog in the broken wheel of a greater britain as opposed to at worst, an independent broken wheel (of course, it should come as no surprise that I respect the latter). Today, those similarly positioned ignoble, self-fashioned government ‘nobles’ and their parasites (wall street frauds, military industrial complex, government contractors, lobbyists, etc.) are indiscernible by party certainly, or any other way whatsoever. For Mr. Milbank, the eternal wobama apologist, to attempt to draw such a distinction by party affiliation is disingenuous or naïve at best, and downright dishonest at worst. With extremely few exceptions, they’re all the same; and to use his term, false-hearted.

PORTER STANSBERRY OF STANSBERRY RESEARCH

THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICA

The numbers tell us America is in decline... if not outright collapse.

I say "the numbers tell us" because I've become very sensitive to the impact this kind of statement has on people. When I warned about the impending bankruptcy of General Motors in 2006 and 2007, readers actually blamed me for the company's problems as if my warnings to the public were the real problem, rather than GM's $400 billion in debt.

The claim was absurd. But the resentment my work engendered was real.

So please... before you read this issue, which makes several arresting claims about the future of our country... understand I am only writing about the facts as I find them today. I am only drawing conclusions based on the situation as it stands. I am not saying that these conditions can't improve. Or that they won't improve.

The truth is, I am optimistic. I believe our country is heading into a crisis. But I also believe that... sooner or later... Americans will make the right choices and put our country back on sound footing.

Please pay careful attention to the data I cite. And please send me corrections to the facts. I will happily publish any correction that can be substantiated. But please don't send me threats, accusations against my character, or baseless claims about my lack of patriotism. If I didn't love our country, none of these facts would bother me. I wouldn't have bothered writing this letter.

I know this is a politically charged and emotional issue. My conclusions will not be easy for most readers to accept. Likewise, many of the things I am writing about this month will challenge my subscribers to re-examine what they believe about their country. The facts about America today tell a painful story about a country in a steep decline, beset by problems of its own making.

One last point, before we begin... I realize that this kind of macro-economic/political analysis is not, primarily, what you pay me for.

You rightly expect me to provide you with investment opportunities whether bull market, bear market, or total societal collapse. And that's what I've done every month for more than 15 years.

But that's not what I've done this month. You won't find any investment ideas at all in these pages. This issue is unlike any other I have ever written.

I'm sure it will spark a wave of cancellations costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I fear it will spark a tremendous amount of controversy. Many people will surely accuse me of deliberately writing inflammatory things in order to stir the pot and gain attention. That's not my intention. The truth is, I've gone to great lengths throughout my career to protect my privacy.

I am speaking out now because I believe someone must. And I have the resources to do it. I am sharing these ideas with my subscribers because I know we have arrived at the moment of a long-brewing crisis.

Our political leaders, our business leaders, and our cultural leaders have made a series of catastrophic choices. The result has been a long decline in America's standard of living.

For decades, we have papered over these problems with massive amounts of borrowing. But now, our debts total close to 400% of GDP, and America is the world's largest borrower (after being the world's largest creditor only 40 years ago)... And the holes in our society can no longer be hidden...

We've reached the point where we will have to fix what lies at the heart of America's decline... or be satisfied with a vastly lower standard of living in the future.

How do I know? How do I statistically define the decline of America?

The broadest measure of national wealth is per-capita gross domestic product (GDP). Economists use this figure to judge standards of living around the world. It shows the value of the country's annual production divided by the number of its citizens. No, the production isn't actually divided among all the citizens, but this measure provides us with a fair benchmark to compare different economies around the world. Likewise, this measure shows the growth (or the decline) in wealth in societies across time.

So... is America growing richer or poorer based on per-capita GDP? Seems like a simple enough question, doesn't it? Is our economy growing faster than our population? Are we, as individuals, becoming more affluent? Or is the pie, measured on a per-person basis, growing smaller?
This is the most fundamental measure of the success or the failure of any political system or culture. Are the legal and social rules we live under aiding our economic development or holding us back? What do the numbers say?

Unfortunately, it's a harder question to answer than it should be. The problem is, we don't have a sound currency with which to measure GDP through time. Until 1971, the U.S. dollar was defined as a certain amount of gold. And the price of gold was fixed by international agreement. It didn't actually begin to trade freely until 1975. Therefore, the value of the U.S. dollar (and thus the value of U.S. production, which is measured in dollars) was manipulated higher for many years.

Even today, our government's nominal GDP figures are greatly influenced by inflation. The influence of inflation is particularly pernicious in GDP studies. You see, inflation, which actually reduces our standard of living, drives up the amount of nominal GDP. So it creates the appearance of a wealthier country... while the nation is actually getting poorer.

The only real way to accurately measure per-capita GDP is to build our own model. The need to build our own tools tells you something important the government doesn't want anyone to know the answer to this question. It could easily publish data far more accurate than the indexes it puts out. But government doesn't want anyone to know. And it wants to be able to say "those aren't the real data" when studies like ours produce bad news.

So pay attention to how we built our charts. You can see for yourself that our data are far more accurate than the government's figures. Our data are based on the real purchasing power of the currency, not the nominal numbers, which are completely meaningless in the real world.

The question we are trying to answer is: What would per-capita GDP numbers look like, if we used a real-world currency, like gold, or a basket of commodity prices, instead of the paper-based U.S. dollar? What would the figures be if we measured GDP in sound money instead of the government's funny money?

Here's how we figured it out. We took the government numbers for nominal GDP and measured them first against commodity prices, and later (after it began to trade freely) gold. We used a standard commodity index (the CRB) up to 1975 and gold post-1975. The result of this analysis shows you the real trend in U.S. per-capita GDP, as measured on a real-world purchasing power basis.

Our analysis shows you what's actually happened to our real standard of living. The results, we suspect, will surprise even the most bearish among you.

America is in a steep decline.

Americans Are Getting Poorer Fast

Let me anticipate the "official" criticism of our study. Many people will claim that our numbers aren't "real." They will say that we "mined" the data to produce a chart that showed a steep decline.

That's simply not so. All we've done is convert the government's nominal GDP stats into a fixed currency value that's based on real-world purchasing power. The fact is, our data are far more accurate than the government's because they represent the real-world experience.

That's why our data are far more closely correlated to other real-world studies of wealth in America.

Consider, for example, annual sales of automobiles. Auto sales peaked in 1985 (11 million) and have been declining at a fairly steady rate since 1999. In 2009, Americans bought just 5.4 million passenger cars. As a result, the median age of a registered vehicle in the U.S. is almost 10 years.

Our data shows that real per-capita wealth peaked in the late 1960s. Guess when we find the absolutely lowest median age of the U.S. fleet? In 1969. At the end of the 1960s, the median age of all the cars on the road in the U.S. was only 5.1 years. Even as recently as 1990, the median age was only 6.5 years.

Rich people buy new cars. Poor people do not.

Most important, our data "proves" something I know many of you have felt or perceived for many years. You've seen the decline of your neighborhoods. You've gone years without being able to earn more money in your job. Or you've seen your purchasing power decrease to the point where you're now substituting lower-quality products on your grocery list for the brand-name products you used to buy.

You can see how much harder it is on your children to find good jobs, to buy good housing or a new car. As a result, few people under the age of 40 have the same kind of "life story" as their parents.

And because they can't "make it," many have decided to "fake it." The average college student now graduates with $24,000 in debt... and by his late 20s has racked up more than $6,000 in credit card debt. Meanwhile, median earnings for Americans aged 25-34 equals $34,000-$38,000. (Source: Demos.org, "The Economic State of Young America," November 2011.)

Can you imagine starting your life out as an adult with a personal debt-to-income level at close to 100%? What does this say about the state of our economy? What does this say about the state of our culture?

Who Suffers Most

It's not only the young that are having trouble in America. It is also the old.

Debt levels among households headed by people older than 62 have been rising for two decades. The average mortgage size for this population is now $71,000 five times larger than it was in 1987 (adjusted for inflation), according to William Apgar of Harvard's Joint
Center for Housing Studies.

Older Americans are also more reliant on credit card debt than ever before... credit card debt. From 1992 through 2007 (which is the latest data available) older Americans took on credit card debt at a faster pace than the population as a whole. According to USA Today, lower- and middle-income Americans aged 65 and older now carry an average of more than $10,000 in credit card debt, up 26% since only 2005.
Given average interest rates of 20% for these debts, it's a fair bet that these obligations will never be repaid. But they will have a terrible impact on the standard of living of these older Americans.

What in the heck is going on? Don't Americans pay off their mortgages before they retire? Don't they work hard during their careers, save, and invest, so they can move to Florida and spend their retirement in comfort?

Older Americans living with credit card debt! This doesn't sound like America, does it? Or maybe it does.

My bet is that most of my subscribers know that something has gone terribly wrong with America. It's not easy to figure out how all of this happened... but you know from your own experiences that these numbers aren't wrong. It might not be pleasant to think about... but these figures paint a sad but accurate picture: America is not the country it was 40 years ago. These changes are warping our economy, politics, and culture.

In this month's issue, I'd like to try to define a few of the core reasons we're in this situation. I can't possibly analyze all the factors that have led to this decline. But I want to document the growth of graft in politics. I want to demonstrate with real facts and examples how public company leadership has deteriorated. And I want to document some of the things that are occurring in the broader society, all of which I believe are linked to this fundamental decline in our standard of living.

You see, I believe the decline of our country is primarily a decline of our culture.

We have lost our sense of honor, humility, and the dedication to personal responsibility that, for more than 200 years, made our country the greatest hope for mankind. I want to detail some of the factors that gave rise to the current entitlement society. We have become a country of people who believe their well-being is someone else's responsibility.

I've labeled these problems: The Corruption of America.

These problems manifest themselves in different ways across institutions in all parts of our society. But at their root, they are simply facets of the same stone. They are all part of the same essential problem.

The corruption of America isn't happening in one part of our country... or in one type of institution. It is happening across the landscape of our society, in almost every institution. It's a kind of moral decay... a kind of greed... a kind of desperate grasp for power... And it's destroying our nation.

The Ethos of 'Getting Yours'

Americans know, in their bones, that something terrible is happening. Maybe you can't articulate it. Maybe you don't have the statistics to understand exactly what's going on. But my bet is, you think about it a lot.

For me, a poignant moment of recognition came this month.

Bloomberg news published an article based on confidential sources about how Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Republican U.S. Treasury secretary during the financial crisis, held a secret meeting with the top 20 hedge-fund managers in New York City in late July 2008. This was about two weeks after he testified to Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were "well-capitalized."
I knew for a fact that what Paulson told Congress wasn't true. I wrote my entire June 2008 newsletter detailing exactly why Fannie and Freddie certainly had billions in losses that they had not yet revealed to investors
$500 billion in losses, at least. There was no question in my mind, both companies were insolvent "zeros," as I explained.

And yet, in front of Congress, the U.S. Treasury secretary was saying exactly the opposite. Either I was a liar... or he was.
Then... only a few days later... what did Paulson tell those hedge-fund managers?

He told them the same thing I had written in my newsletter. He told them the opposite of what he'd said publicly to Congress. He told these billionaire investors that Fannie and Freddie were a disaster... They would require an enormous, multibillion-dollar bailout... The U.S. government would have to take them over... And their shareholders would be completely wiped out.

Here you had a high-government official, explicitly lying to Congress (and by extension, the general public), while giving the real facts to a group of people who represented the financial interests of the world's wealthiest folks. The story didn't come to the public's attention for two years.

This was the most outrageous example of graft and corruption I have ever seen. Certainly it involves more billions of dollars in misappropriated value than any other similar story I can recall. These managers had the risk-free ability to make tens of billions of dollars, if not hundreds of billions, by using derivatives to capitalize on what they knew was the imminent collapse of the world's largest mortgage bank. Who picked up the tab? You know perfectly well. It was you and me, the taxpayers.

(One of the investment managers present at this meeting was Steve Rattner, who by that point was already deeply involved in another bit of graft, his efforts to bribe New York state pension-fund managers for large investments into his hedge fund, from which he earned perhaps as much as $100 million. He later settled the charges for a mere $10 million shortly after Andrew Cuomo was elected governor of New York.)
The Bloomberg story... about a crooked Treasury secretary handing a room full of crooked billionaires inside information worth billions of dollars... hardly caused a ripple. As far as I know, no actions are being planned against Henry Paulson or any of the hedge-fund managers involved. No other major media outlet picked up the story. I saw nothing about it from the Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What does that say about our country when even the most egregious kind of corruption involving hundreds of billions of dollars is simply ignored?

It seems like everyone in our country has lost his moral bearing, from the highest government officials and senior corporate leaders all the way down to schoolteachers and local community leaders. The ethos of my fellow Americans seems to have changed from one of personal integrity and responsibility to "getting yours" the all-out attempt, by any means possible, to get the most amount of benefits with the least amount of work.

You can see this in everything from the lowering of school standards (revising the SAT) to the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional, college, and high school sports. Cheating has become a way of life in America.

I have an idea about how this happened... about the root cause of this kind of corruption and why it was inevitable, given some of the basic facts regarding how we've organized our government and our corporations.

Let me show you the numbers the hard facts behind what's happened to our country...’

WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009.Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety.Loughners was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels Sinaloa and Los Zetas in order to destabilize Mexico.

Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks black Christmas! Typical! ]
For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Historical headwinds Gingrich, Romney and Paul against the odds. (Washington Post) [ This is without doubt the most disappointing article by an otherwise invariably clear thinking Mr. Will. I’m glad for his disclosure (the Perry link) inasmuch as at least there is the possibility of a modicum of reason behind what otherwise would constitute a total ‘lack of reason’. Mr. Will sets forth some interesting tidbits of a category of sorts of history as if prepping for a round of Jeopardy, so obscure as they are. Relevance to today, that is also as obscure. If Mr. Will, of all people, cannot discern the difference today, from the america of yesterday, one does have to wonder who can. Yet, I do believe the vast majority in america do in fact discern such a difference. Why? Because the magnitude of that reality (of difference) is so great that one would have to be literally brain-dead to not discern it. Pervasively corrupt and quite literally defacto bankrupt, america’s at the cusp of a complete collapse in every way a nation could collapse; viz., financially, economically, politically, geopolitically, and legally. Indeed, so stark are these realities despite organized obfuscation, the same direction / status quo is blatantly untenable to even the most stalwart of ‘stay the course types’. Other than the black vote (roughly 18% according to’the first black president, clinton’) and the relatively few remaining wobama loyalists, I do believe, though belated, it’s human nature for that clear majority to opt for the chance of survival (of a nation) rather than the already worn path of decline as tread by wobama. Then comes the distinction between the failed president wobama and the alternative; Ron Paul being the ‘man, with a plan, that’s not already been ran’.

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous.

How the economy could come back WONKBOOK | There are plausible scenarios in which 2012 is better than forecasters expect. (Washington Post) [ Yeah … and if your grandmother had wheels she’d be a trolleycar. Come on, let’s get real here. I’m quite surprised at Mr. Klein’s piece here which usually is quite grounded. This being a somewhat business-oriented offering, the emphasis should be on probable, not plausible, though the pols are lovin’ Mr. Klein for his election year ‘polspeak’; or, for those so addicted, that thing called ‘hopium’, for which the withdrawal period inevitably to follow is a real b**ch!

Payroll tax cut raises worries about Social Security’s future funding Congress’s extension of the cut has many concerned that a foundation of Social Security is being undermined. (Washington Post) [ Little late to be worrying about something so insurmountably problematic at this point; particularly, one of so relatively small significance given the sheer magnitude of the problem. Lawrence: Uncle Sam’s dirty secret (Washington Post) [ Unfortunately, though dirty, the secret is not so secret, just ‘media controlled’ as is all too often the case in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. Moreover, I believe the calculations of a published economics professor are far more reliable than those of a new york wall street manipulato / desperato; and, not surprisingly, far more dire ( America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks … We’re broke for a reason. We’ve spent six decades accumulating a huge official debt (U.S. Treasury bills and bonds) and vastly larger unofficial debts to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits to today’s and tomorrow’s 100 million-plus retirees. The government’s total indebtedness — its fiscal gap — now stands at $211 trillion’

Detroit stands out in housing data An unlikely name has been popping up as a bright spot in the nation’s still-abysmal housing market. (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! Such a lovely place … and, among the few places where they actually pay you to buy there … and, kind of like that ‘House on Haunted Hill’ (you know, the spooks / ‘ghosts’), if you survive a certain short period of time, you get to keep it (in good condition for the banks / lenders / owners) … though similar in some ways to a roach motel as in that ‘once you go in, you never come out’ (Eh …I don’t really know that for a fact … just kiddin’).

 

After a wild ride in 2011, U.S. stocks back almost where they started  A year filled with solid rallies and breathtaking drops ends almost precisely where it began. (Washington Post) [ Yes, where it began; but minus literally billions (and then trillions) in commissions, fees, and hard cash for bogus paper / toxic assets now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change, even those held by the fed, the rehypothecation of worthless paper securites, the over-printing of ever-more worthless fiat paper currencies, etc., all of which are failed, exacerbating strategies of this continuing crisis, the worst of which lies ahead. Guest Post: 2011 - Catch-22 Year In ReviewThe Wall Street mantra of stocks for the long run is beginning to get a little stale. If Abbey Joseph Cohen had been right for the last twelve years, the S&P 500 would be 4,000. For this level of accuracy, she is paid millions. Her 2011 prediction of 1,500 only missed by 16%. The S&P 500 began the year at 1,258 and hasn’t budged. The lowest prediction from the Wall Street shysters at the outset of the year was 1,333, with the majority between 1,400 and 1,500. The same Wall Street clowns are now being quoted in the mainstream media predicting a 10% to 15% increase in stock prices in 2012, despite the fact we are headed back into recession, China’s property bubble has burst, and Europe teeters on the brink of dissolution. They lie on behalf of their Too Big To Tell the Truth employers by declaring stocks undervalued, when honest analysts such as Jeremy Grantham, John Hussman and Robert Shiller truthfully report that stocks are overvalued and will provide pitiful returns over the next year and the next decade.’

Time to fix the MLK memorial The decision should be easy. (Washington Post) [ Yeah … I agree … I truly favor that language of his; viz., paraphrasing, that people should be judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin. After all, these words (on his memorial) give him the persona of almost a ‘self-proclaimed god’ when we all know and have been consistently reminded by his apologists, ‘he was just a man’; with those amorous trysts with those ‘ white ho’s ’ the proof among other foibles. Moreover, that content of character thing / criteria allows for an unsalutatory, unceremonious good-bye to one term presidential failure and last black president, b***s*** artist and con man in chief, wobama the b fo b***s***, along with his corrupt, black racist buddy eric holder at the doj (infra, UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE... (WP) ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims ', etc.   ). Additionally, that ‘content of character’ thing would also permit a more objective and real approach to profiling ie., serial killers (blacks included based on the data / facts, infra), not to mention their predominance in crime generally which is consistent with their anthropological, indigenous history to present. Yes, we all owe a debt of gratitude to the Post’s editorial board to take time out from scrutiny and comment on the multitude of ‘nation-ending-problems’ of a nation literally on the brink of total collapse to take that tough position as here that has so defined this great newspaper. It’s objective criteria / realities and ‘cutting the mustard’ that’s necessary which as well includes prosecution of  those unprosecuted gargantuan frauds by ‘white boys’ on wall street. And, to be further 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). The rhetoric from the unbalanced savage is equally appalling .. Michael Savage: Ron Paul Hates Jews and Supports Terrorists Kurt Nimmo | Top-ranked talk show host warns that Paul is a “lunatic” who threatens America .. this from a ‘talk radio’ lunatic (I sampled as with most such) savage who literally went into one of his rants about people being crazy to like mayonnaise (he fancies himself somewhat of a ‘gourmet’; never mind that probably second to only ketchup, this condiment is wildly popular and with a pleasing taste at that). Who’s the lunatic? The fact is, if Paul were to put zionist, israeli, aipac approved interests before those of America, no doubt ‘all would be forgiven’. Easy enough to do; ask all the other candidates.

As a matter of fact, in the manner of that classic lou costello comedic skit (you may recall or someone might tell you, ‘niagara falls’ is the term that triggers the negative ‘overreaction’ much to lou costello’s detriment including his ‘well-being’), mere mention of the word ‘united states’ would spur a panoply of reactions; none of them good, I might add.

After all, wobama’s just extended controls of the populace that only one so conditioned for such ‘controls’ would feel comfortable with.

Downward revision for home sales Does it mean home sales and the real estate economy is far worse than we thought?  (Washington Post) [ The reality of ‘this flavor’ of ponzi scheme that I’ve termed ‘data ponzi scheme’ cannot be ignored; particularly with the deleterious results to follow therefrom. There are all sorts of ponzi schemes currently in play, so rife with corruption this nation (world) has become. ,  Would A Ponzi By Any Other Name Smell As Bad?The bond market has always had clever names for bonds in specific markets.  Eurobonds, Yankee bonds, Samurai bonds, and now, Ponzi bonds.  I’m not sure what else to call these new bonds, but Ponzi bonds seems as good as anything. NBG issued these bonds to themselves, got a Greek government guarantee (how can a country that can’t borrow, provide a guarantee?) and took these bonds to the ECB to get some financing. , France revises 3rd quarter growth down (Washington Post) [ Look! Voila! They’re even adopting pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america’s ‘data ponzi schemes’ along with those of the financial variety. Economy grew more slowly in the summer than previously thought (Washington Post) [ Yeah! Riiiiight! That, an approximately 35% difference; no small matter. Indeed, much like the ‘financial ponzi scheme’ being run out of washington, there’s a ‘fake / inflated’ ‘data ponzi scheme’ being run (particularly in this desperate election cycle) wherein the better than expected inflated (or deflated as in fake/manipulated unemployment numbers) are put out there for the spike in stock prices, with similar tact when reality catches up with the false data (as here, or the inflated housing numbers yesterday, ue numbers, etc.). Needless to say, as with ponzi schemes, reality always catches up, at great expense / damage to many, having benefited the few (ie., frauds on wall street, undeserving pols, etc.). All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

 

 

A contest for commander in grief Have you ever seen a glummer or grouchier bunch of presidential candidates? Not likely. (Washington Post) [ I’m totally astounded by the tenor of this article’s headline, which I hope conveys my profound disappointment in the so-called author and whatever purported journalistic abilities lie therein. I mean, if a journalist / reporter at The Washington Post doesn’t fathom the depth of this nation’s (and the multitude of other nations globally) problems fiscally, economically, financially, politically, geo-politcally, one truly has to wonder who does. The outlook is bleak, as in grim, as in gloomy, as in dire. That really is reality, and more people really must come to grips with, yes, realistically, factually, grim reality. There has never been a more grim, gloomy reality for this nation particularly among other nations. To have that now notorious albeit artful b***s*** artist wobama ‘toolin’ around’ with a smile that more appropriately suits a look fitting the village idiot is a further testament to wobama’s utter failure as president and unfitness for office. Well deserved criticism for wobama’s glaring failures and broken promises and incompetence which in sum have contributed mightily to the nation’s now insurmountable predicament, owing to wobama’s innate character flaws ‘to be marked as typical’ is to wobama as water is to a duck’s back. He’s pulled the con and is content with his failed tenure. Really! He’s all that bad; and, the scenario he’s in large part now responsible for is all that grim. Really! … And … No! I will not waste my time reading this meaningless fluff-piece!

Indecision 2012 Iowa’s uncertainty reflects a struggling GOP. (Washington Post) [ While I have no reason to come to the gop’s defense (after all, my litmus test, the corrupted RICO matters spans both parties and corrupted elements therein including a sitting supreme court justice, alito et als, infra, see, ie.,  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   ,  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     ), if wobama aficionado / apologist Mr. Milbank confronts the record, 2008 – 2012, from having congressional and executive control to this total ball of confusion which defies all wobama’s campaign promises (which if kept would have substantially improved, though still ominous, this nation’s exceedingly grim prospects), I truly believe Mr. Milbank would be constrained by reality to agree that the dems at best have struggled and at worst have blatantly failed

 

Oil prices surge after Iran sends warning aimed at U.S. ships U.S. officials attribute Tuesday’s harsh language to Iran’s growing frustration over its faltering economy (Washington Post) [ It seems the u.s. / israel have predictably made up their minds to contrive yet another pro-israeli conflict by, ultimately in essence, cruising for a worldwide bruising. Indeed, the bankruptcy of american airlines is a testament to their misguided, self-defeating, self-destructive short-term thinking, with more and worse to follow. { amr closing price $0.29 – Briefly, if analyzing airline securities, one must always recognize the capital-intensive nature of the industry – expensive equipment; viz., the planes. The focus (in addition to the foregoing capital budgeting task) for analysis and projections for the industry and then the particular company are primarily fuel costs and (passenger) load factors (enabling projection of the income statement / earnings per share). Southwest has consistently managed both best. } Guest Post: War Imminent In Straits Of Hormuz? $200 A Barrel Oil?

 

 

No land of opportunity GOP critics ignore why America has declined. (Washington Post) [ I believe Mr. Meyerson’s headline to be true, important and one which speaks for itself without qualification, even by Mr. Meyerson himself (of course it is Mr. Meyerson’s article). But even a cursory examination of unequivocally failed president wobama’s failed predecessor, war criminal dumbya bush, hank paulson, et als including the massive wall street frauds, war profiteering, etc., and corruption so deep and far-reaching so as to make partisan labels virtually meaningless. It’s truly the pervasive corruption (and short end money) in america that’s led to a structural shift that literally cannot be undone; that ‘bell cannot be unrung’. That wobama et als approach is an abject failure is a safe bet; indeed, because he et als have been abject failures in their ‘election-year mission and purpose’ as stated. Moreover, there’s been very little difference between the parties in creating this very circumstance as alluded to by Mr. Meyerson. Yet, I believe Mr. Meyerson must ask himself and others as to what effect those funds to bail out the wall street frauds still extant in the trillions (now marked literally to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change); and funds frittered away in foreign lands for the benefit of war profiteers / military industrial complex would have been on the nation’s citizenry / prospects if spent domestically.  Literally, fortunes were made through misguided action / corruption at the expense of the many and that has become standard operating procedure and a bi-partisan reality that all the ruminating in the world won’t change. I agree with Mr. Meyerson that america is ‘no land of opportunity’ (30 Statistics That Show That The Middle Class Is Dying Right In Front Of Our Eyes As We Enter 2012   The Economic Collapse see the 30 statisics here ). At the same time I’m constrained to remind him that america’s pervasively corrupt ( http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm , Presenting 2011's Top 10 Most Corrupt American Politicians  ) and as well, insurmountably defacto bankrupt ( America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke.

Unemployment rate drops to 8.5 percent A burst of hiring in December pushed the unemployment rate to its lowest level in nearly three years, giving the economy a boost at the end of 2011. The Labor Department says employers added a net 200,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent, the lowest since February 2009. The rate has dropped for four straight months. (Washington Post) [ Come on! Who’s foolish enough to believe this latest desperate election year addition to their ‘data ponzi scheme’. Oh sure, there may have been some retail temp hires among other ‘temp hires’ (one day for one day’s pay, thank you very much). And, at what cost for them even if believed?

Tech predictions for 2012COLUMN | From market bubbles to tablets, Wadhwa gives his five predictions for technology in 2012. (Washington Post) [ This generally comports with my own view that american (global) technology is vastly over-rated. The biggest strides (ie. The Internet, etc.) have been made and capital constraints are a bigger factor than ever. There’s really nothing new here; yet mention of the ‘pricing power’ dilemma in light of the actual cost of most such devices (also in terms of functionality) as mentioned, including pc’s and ‘macs’, is on the mark. I disagree that a rush to trust in ‘cloudburst’ is in the cards in as big a way as cited; but rather a bust, for the reasons set forth among others (ie., access, control, ‘nefarious elements’, ‘hackability one way or another, inside or out’, etc.).

Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on.

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

 

Both Sides Now ( actual lyrics – This is a great song and among those I ‘play’ on the guitar! )

 

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev'rywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev'ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living ev'ry day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and dawn, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Seriously, are these ‘journalists of late’ drinking ‘hopium-laced kool aid’? Sure sounds like it!

For those hurting most, Fed’s remedies limited The limited policies the Federal Reserve has at its disposal mostly put money in the hands of the affluent. But a wide range of research shows that instead of spending that money, wealthier people are more likely to save it, doing little to foster economic activity. (Washington Post) [ Yeah … the outcry is resounding; viz., fed, don’t hurt us any more (than you have already)! As to money put in the hands of the affluent, anyone with even a modicum of financial, economic, and accounting knowledge coupled with even a small dose of general intelligence and common sense realizes, certainly by now (though warned), that that’s always been the fed’s intent and purpose first and foremost, the general populace (taxpayers) be damned, regardless of their somewhat egalitarian rhetoric (and ubiquitous spin) to the contrary. Guest Post: Why Bernanke Has Failed, And Will Continue To FailBen Bernanke's zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and command-economy efforts to maintain mispricing of risk, debt and assets are destroying capital and capitalism. No wonder his policies have failed so miserably. Bernanke's policy is to punish capital accumulation and reward leveraged debt expansion. Rather than enforce the market's discipline and transparent pricing of risk, debt and assets, Bernanke has explicitly set out to re-inflate a destructive, massively unproductive credit bubble…,… 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. ] ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.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 (as now), the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher (as now)…

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

 

 

2011's foreclosure rate lowest since ‘07 But RealtyTrac cautions that the decline does not necessarily indicate that the housing market is getting better. (Washington Post) [ It was not long ago that the so-called data they’ve provided going back several years was not real at all. Yet, even assuming arguendo the same as true, with some implicit nudging from washington in this election year, I think this temporary phenomenon reflects the reality of the marketplace and the plethora of inventory; viz, foreclose, sell, to whom? Many lenders are opting for ‘care-taking of the property’ despite default on this multitude of ‘underwater’ properties with worse to come despite the addictive ‘hopium’ factor. Apartment construction spurs 9.3 pct. jump in housing starts, but level remains low Associated Press  (Washington Post) [ ‘All dressed up, and no where to go’. Apartments? Sure, when they leave those underwater / foreclosed homes they’ll need someplace to go, assuming you believe this election year ‘data point’ which isn’t that good to begin with (‘…Still, the rate is far below the 1.2 million homes that economists say would be built each year in a healthy housing market…’). But come on! … scandal-scarred commerce department? … election-year desperation? … I don’t believe the numbers for a second, even if they were viable (they’re not).

Manufacturing jobs are coming back The strongest two-year growth since the late 1990s. (Washington Post) [ Wow! Talk about ‘hopium addiction’ and the ‘hallucinagenic/delusional’ effects therefrom. Clearly, the Editorial Board’s dreamin’ in this piece which probably should have been left for the more ‘business saavy’ at, ie., Bloomberg, etc.. There has been a structural shift that cannot be undone. A somewhat shocking example included the manufacture of some of those rather trite ‘american flag’ pins … ‘Made in China’ …Woe! … Well, that’s an easy one to bring back home; yet, if you’re familiar with financial statements, cost accounting, etc., more complex endeavors particularly, not so fast.  Obama weighs proposals to create jobs The president plans to reward companies that bring jobs back to the U.S. and eliminate tax breaks for those that move jobs overseas. (Washington Post) [ Read my lips: ‘the bell cannot be unrung!’ They couldn’t afford to make up the difference; not by a long shot.   Excerpt: ‘… #10 Our economic infrastructure is being torn apart right in front of our eyes.  In 2010, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States.  Overall, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have shut down since 2001. We have made it legal for big corporations to send millions of jobs to countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages, where the tax burden is much lighter and where there are barely any regulations.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article posted on Economy in Crisis....

Back in the ‘80s, I called my friend Walter in California and asked: “On your next expansion we need a plant in South Carolina.” Walter replied: “We don’t produce anything in the United States. It’s all in China. China furnishes you the plant on a year-to-year basis. If your investment works out, you don’t have to pay any corporate tax; just reinvest it for another plant and more profit. If it doesn’t work out, you can walk away with no legacy costs. I send a quality controller to watch production. I check on it every day. I don’t have any labor, health, safety, or environmental concerns, and have time to play a round of golf.” The bleeding of jobs off-shore started in the ‘80s — now hemorrhages under Bush and Obama. Waiting for the economy to bounce back; calling this “the worst recession” is a bum rap. The reason the economy hasn’t bounced back since 2008 is because the economy is being off-shored…’

As financial crisis loomed, Fed leaders lionized Greenspan, documents show Many economists now say the former chairman contributed to the crisis and the resulting recession (Washington Post) [ Indeed, what an incompetent, self-aggrandizing publicity hound the senile greenspan. As a one-time cobol-programmer, similarly ‘that unforeseeable thing’ regarding his $100,000 fee (back when $100,000 meant something – a lot of money as a fee- long before his/helicopter ben’s fed days) for a ‘clean bill of health’ for the S&L/bank that failed not long thereafter, he admittedly just never thought far enough ahead about that y2k, extra digit problem. For those hurting most, Fed’s remedies limited The limited policies the Federal Reserve has at its disposal mostly put money in the hands of the affluent. But a wide range of research shows that instead of spending that money, wealthier people are more likely to save it, doing little to foster economic activity. (Washington Post) [ Yeah … the outcry is resounding; viz., fed, don’t hurt us any more (than you have already)! As to money put in the hands of the affluent, anyone with even a modicum of financial, economic, and accounting knowledge coupled with even a small dose of general intelligence and common sense realizes, certainly by now (though warned), that that’s always been the fed’s intent and purpose first and foremost, the general populace (taxpayers) be damned, regardless of their somewhat egalitarian rhetoric (and ubiquitous spin) to the contrary. Guest Post: Why Bernanke Has Failed, And Will Continue To FailBen Bernanke's zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and command-economy efforts to maintain mispricing of risk, debt and assets are destroying capital and capitalism. No wonder his policies have failed so miserably. Bernanke's policy is to punish capital accumulation and reward leveraged debt expansion. Rather than enforce the market's discipline and transparent pricing of risk, debt and assets, Bernanke has explicitly set out to re-inflate a destructive, massively unproductive credit bubble…,… 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. ] ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.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 (as now), the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher (as now)…    

 

 

Time running short for Greek debt deal Upcoming bond payments and the growing influence of investors threaten to undermine the process. (Washington Post) [ WAIT… WASN’T THE GREEK ISSUE SOLVED ALREADY? January 12th, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com ‘Greece is in big trouble.I realize that 99% of commentators have completely missed this fact. After all throughout 2011 the mainstream financial media published stories claiming that the Greek Crisis was solved.However, the reality is that Greece remains in Crisis mode. The country has only 37 billion Euros left from its first bailout package. And the second bailout package is anything but guaranteed.

Indeed, as the below story reveals, the two financial backstops for Greece (the IMF and Germany) are in no place to pony up more cash.Analysis: IMF funds for Greece not assured IMF chief Christine Lagarde is warning Europe that Greeces economic prospects are deteriorating and the European Union will either have to pony up more money to rescue Athens or debt holders will have to stomach steeper losses.Unless the private sector or the EU contribute more to Greeces rescue, the International Monetary Fund will view the nations debt load as unsustainable and may be unwilling to deliver more funds, IMF sources told Reuters as Lagarde met with Germanys and Frances leaders in EuropeBut talks aimed at getting private-sector creditors to shoulder a bigger part of a new Greek bailout are going badly

 

 

Ron Paul’s achievement After a quarter-century in the wilderness, he’s within reach of putting his cause on the map. (Washington Post) [ At first blush, I thought by this headline this article to be Mr. Krauthammer’s vailed attempt at sarcasm. After all, as a jewish man himself, I’ve yet to see him take a position that could in any way be even remotely antithetical to israeli interests; and yet, one would have to be blind and dumb not to realize such zionist / pro-israeli policies as foolishly adopted by the u.s. have been unequivocally antithetical to american interests. The testament to the merger of contraindicated american ‘interests’ with selfishly construed israeli interests was that display of wildly cheering israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in Weehawken, n.j. at the sight of the burning / exploding / symmetrically imploding trade towers (including bldg. 7) on 911 (contriving such a ‘pearl harbor event’ a neocon / military industrial complex / israeli wet dream come true. Later history might even write this as the ‘albatross incident’ for america). The great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex whose interests and welfare programs have merged with those of the militant illegal-nuke totin’ israelis whose interests suddenly merged into puppet-in-chief wobama despite wobama’s campaign rhetoric to the contrary upon which he was elected. Parenthetically, President Eisenhower never took any crap from the terrorist begin / israelis in contravention of American interests in the region.  I truly don’t know what being a libertarian means; but I do know that a junkie/thief/methamphetamine addict from virginia who stole some (very valuable to me) items from me here in Socal had a father who was one and he professed being one of sorts himself though questionable (ie., his ‘phony’ business card with an ‘in God we trust’ logo, etc.). The importance of Ron Paul is to point out the unsustainability of ‘same old / same old’ without reason, purpose, advantage to any but the very greedy short-sighted few, though substantially detrimental to the nation. After the cold war’s end, with peace dividend to grace clinton, the substantial achievement of Reagan / Gorbachev, if america had literally ‘done nothing’ rather than having embarked upon the ‘money-eating / war-profiteering’ adventurism along with ‘that engagement thing’ with communist china so hailed by former ambassador to china / cia man bush, no nation could have caught up to and passed america; some and then many have and are destined to do so (what the heck, decades at best anyway). The fed has failed all mandates for which it supposedly exists. They’ve literally helped consummate for the intended benefit of the few, frauds in the trillions, to the substantial detriment of the vast majority and the nation itself (among other culpable acts, ie., $4 trillion missing at the new york fed, over-printing of  the ever more worthless dollars, etc.). For the israeli lobby, reality is a frightful thing. For pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, reality is also a frightful thing.

I guess when as Mr. Milbank you’re too incredible to be credible, the strained parallel is necessary to at least dupe a few into believing; kind of ‘the obama way’ which is what and all we’d expect from wobama aficionado / apologist Mr. Milbank. Well, Al Gore’s a safe bet / target, out of it in almost every way; yet, there’s John Kerry who, unlike Gore, is still ‘in the midst of things’ and capable of doin’ Mr. Milbank … well, just leave it at that for Mr. Milbank who gives the impression of one ‘fishin’ for a ‘mission’, or position, within this rather short-lived wobama regime or just plain lacking in journalistic courage.

Oh, as I’ve said before, there’s no question but that such freedom has indeed militated against such failed regimes as we see where stifled, including pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america where such nations’ debilitating failings would otherwise at best be recognized and acted upon ‘too little and too late’, if at all. Such nations as are disposed to suppressing speech and the free flow of ideas remain exactly that; namely, failed nations for which all hope is lost, with such despair and purblindedness pervading even those upper echelons of power along with the masses which leaves said nations / regimes mere cripples, virtually paralyzed to rise to the occasion presented, despite short-term advantage in terms of ephemeral and fleeting control.

Will: A case that threatens the Constitution (Washington Post) [ If it was only just one case (/ legally framed issue) threatening the Constitution, there might be a shred of reason to hope. Then theres the question(s) concerning the jurists themselves with so much riding on the outcomes, particularly regarding the Constitution, such as it is in its shredded reality as opposed to legal theories / principles / rules of law in any meaningful sense. Once upon a time, I wouldnt in my wildest dreams have thought americas highest courts (and not so highest) to be so fraught with corruption owing to brazened criminality at the highest political levels in the land. It wasnt always this way. My favorite jurist, Oliver Wendel Holmes had an uncanny knack for synthesizing / distilling complex factual, including commercial / business scenarios into useful principles of law of practical application ( ie., the law lending foreseeability to consequences of actions particularly in the realm of business transactions / activity, the legally permissible -with very few exceptions- use of threats of doing what one legally can do so the affected party could avoid such consequences, etc.). Parenthetically, I thought it hilarious that a comment (on The Washington Post site) concerning an alito misstep on the supreme court was that ‘alito makes Clarence Thomas look like Oliver Wendel Holmes’Very funny! The point is, in the world of Holmes jurisprudence, the law really meant something, had teeth beyond the arbitrary enforcement we see today (often politically or monetarily motivated amazingly even for the judges themselves and brazenly in plain sight at that), providing predictability of outcomes which in turn fosters lawfulness, business investment, civility, and prosperity.

  • 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, 3rd 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’.
  • 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 ..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.) .

Meyerson: The post-industrial bust (Washington Post) [ Mr. Meyerson’s quite right! This is a post-industrial bust; but, it’s actually substantially worse than that. The debt levels, particularly in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, are insurmountable and unsustainable (America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’). Moreover, there’s nothing in terms of technological advance even remotely approaching the magnitude and broad scope of the Internet. More ominous is the fraudulent use put to the lightning speed computerized capabilities, particularly on churn-and-earn wall street, in terms of fraud, cover-up, rehypothecation of fraudulent, worthless, paper / toxic assets / securities over and over again so as to create worthless bubbles increasing in size by geometric progression defying whatever futile attempts (none seriously) to either account, value, manage, or prosecute same. This includes the fed’s failed, obfuscating QE’s and the latest as astutely attested to by Dave Fry: Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GEITHNER & BERNANKE WANT TO PUMP YOU UP January 25, 2012 [ Dave is ‘spot-on’ and really gets it right! Except, this is actually worse than a Ponzi scheme inasmuch as they are printing and debasing the ever more worthless fiat paper Weimar dollar currency for which there is ‘no free lunch’. Once again you’re paying for the frauds (including the churn-and-earn high frequency computerized trades) on wall street by the higher prices you pay as a direct consequence. This is a despicable, doomed to failure as previously despite obfuscation, government sponsored/sanctioned fraud. ]  ‘Geithner suggests the economy is getting stronger. Bernanke says the economic recovery is fragile. He elects to print more money to reinvest maturing Treasury bonds into more mortgage-backed securities. These securities will then mature and the Treasury indirectly will have to redeem them. This is a Ponzi-Scheme. And, while the Fed prints money, Bernanke states the U.S. should be reducing our fiscal debt. (He didn’t even blush.) Basically what he and his comrades want are higher prices for stocks and everything we buy in order to avoid the Japanese experience of deflation…’

Milbank: GOP attacks don’t faze Bernanke (Washington Post) [ True enough, in a rare instance of a point made by Mr. Milbank beyond just political correctness and his affection for wobama et als. As I’ve said before, like water off a duck’s back is the effect of deserved criticism on wobama which also goes for bernanke, and as well, their ilk. He and his have become part of the problem, not the solution. And, as with the jive-talking wobama the b for b*** s***, helicopter ben b.s. shalom bernanke is incompetent and has no shame despite his persistent failures at the helm of the fed. Remember, despite the circumlocuted obfuscation, you’re ultimately paying for his manipulation including the latest. There’s ‘no free lunch’  (bernanke … the Italian? German? African? Sounds like it could be … oh, wait … that’s right … they changed their name ‘to fit in’).

U.S. economic recovery picks up pace The GDP is up, but for many Americans, the “recovery” so far seems hardly worth celebrating. (Washington Post) [ Come on! In what alternate reality, parallel universe? The ‘election year’ alternate reality, parallel universe? Time to get real! The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed!  Train Reading: The Stock Market Is (Criminally) Insane The Wall Street Journal  , [ STOCKS RALLY DESPITE BAD NEWS: Here's What You Need To Know Business Insider , http://albertpeia.com/22signsglobalrecessiondepression.htm  ] Much like the ‘floating on air’ stock price scenario that preceded the dot.com and most recent, continuing debacles, this global suckers’ rally is based on market frothing hopium for unaffordable, contraindicated, failed QE/wall street only welfare, bad news, fraud, b***s***, and desperation alone, as suckers’ rallies ushered in the new year in a most preposterous fashion [Forget the “January Effect”… Instead Skousen http://www.investmentu.com/2010/December/january-effect-vs-siegel-indicator.html  http://albertpeia.com/forgetthejanuaryeffect.htm  , INVESTORS, SKIP THE 'JANUARY INDICATOR' FOR STOCKS Jan. 26, 2012 Mark Hulbert [ the frauds on wall street still shootin’ for the superstitious so-called ‘January effect’ based on based on market frothing hopium for unaffordable, contraindicated, failed QE/wall street only welfare, bad news, fraud, b***s***, and desperation alone to suck suckers in and keep suckers sucked in!

Mohammed El Erian gets this and to Frank Motek 1070am relates that he’s using the up moves to reduce risk assets / stocks / exposure, in other words, he’s selling the rallies which is sound advice.

 

NBC objects to Romney’s ‘history lesson’ on Gingrich’s ethics violations A new ad uses news footage from 1997 to remind voters about the day Congress reprimanded Gingrich. (Washington Post) [ Yeah! GE a 49% stake-holder and close ties to the failed wobama, they like wobama would much rather see him face the flimsy, flawed gingrich; all that history and all. Rachel Maddow Hammers Newt Gingrich Over Ethics Violations ...  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/07/rachel-maddow-newt-gingrich-ethics-violations_n_1133515.html   ‘Rachel Maddow observed what she called the anniversary "of the start of Newt Gingrich's collapse in political life" on her show Tuesday night. Maddow was referring to the fact that December 6, 1995 marked the initiation of a preliminary inquiry into the allegations against Gingrich for ethics violations. At the time, Gingrich was under fire for his alleged misuse of political contributions. Maddow played clips from NBC news' 1995 archives to tell remind viewers of what she called Gingrich's "ethically dubious past," and the "Republican disgust for Newt Gingrich as Speaker [of the House]."She also highlighted that when the House voted on whether or not Gingrich was guilty of ethics violations, 395 members of the House voted against him. "This was not a partisan vote," Maddow said, adding that 196 Republicans voted against Gingrich at the time."So when Gingrich talks now about those ethics violations back then being part of some partisan witch hunt, what you need to say back to him is, 'Hey. 395 to 28. Wasn't that the vote?'" Maddow said…’   Newt Gingrich 2012 Run: Long Political Record, Washington Ties Coming Back To Haunt Him http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/06/newt-gingrich-2012-run_n_1132728.html  GINGRICH PLEDGES MOON COLONY DURING PRESIDENCY By Amy Gardner http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/post/gingrich-pledges-moon-colony-during-presidency/2012/01/25/gIQAmQxiRQ_blog.html?fb_ref=NetworkNews   (Washington Post) [ The 51st state!

Gingrich: Today’s college students are coddled (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! They’ve got no jobs and an insurmountably bankrupt nation to look forward to thanks in large part to you, your ilk, your peers, wobama et als; and, notably, through no fault of their own. Besides, says newty, ‘kids, they comb their hair in that funny way’.  Riiiiight, snooty newty, there’s those ‘janitorial jobs’ for which there are even waiting lists of applicants for even those jobs according to reports. Say anything, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! As per wobama, words are cheap; but as we all now know, ultimately very costly when they’re more rhetoric / b***s*** than truth / reality!  Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail. A lawyer and libertarian scholar who had long advocated privatizing Social Security — and once acknowledged taking payments from Jack Abramoff to write favorable op-ed pieces about the lobbyist’s clients — Ferrara said he talks to Gingrich almost daily…’), and the frauds on wall street will just love his social security privatization / new blood for the infamous blood-sucking squid (goldman sachs), to keep the ponzi padded with fresh dough once again on the backs of taxpayers (kind of a ‘k street’ kind of drain). Focused regulation of areas of the economy prone to fraud, ie., wall street, and deregulation as to others, ie., small businesses, is a more optimal course.( Bribes, Chinese mob ties alleged at Casino of Gingrich money man Sheldon Adelson Denies Wrongdoing as FBI, SEC Probe Alleged Corrupt Practices …).

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

U.S. economy grew at fastest pace in 18 months Nation’s on-and-off recovery picked up its pace again as the economy grew at a rate of 2.8 percent for the end of 2011. But employment numbers continue to lag, and this disconnect contributes to a sense of gloom. (Washington Post) [ Disconnects indeed, including this rather ebullient headline! I don’t even buy that, quite separate from what I believe to be ‘election-year-friendly’ but false jobs data, which is still bad ‘compared to what’.. There’s plenty of desperation to go around; but, that’s no excuse. Q4 GDP Misses Estimates, Inventory Stockpiling Accounts For 1.9% Of 2.8% Q4 US Economic Growth The US economy grew at a 2.8% annualized pace in the supposedly blistering fourth quarter, yet the number was a disappointment not only in that it missed estimates of 3.0% (and far higher whisper numbers) but when one looks at the components, where a whopping 1.94% of the upside was attributable to a rise in inventories as restocking took place. And as everyone knows in this day and age a spike in inventories only leads to sub-cost dumping a few months later. In other words, the economy grew at a 0.8% pace ex inventories. Yet for all intents and purposes, this is considered "growth." ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GEITHNER & BERNANKE WANT TO PUMP YOU UP January 25, 2012 [ Dave is ‘spot-on’ and really gets it right!

Once again you’re paying for the frauds (including the churn-and-earn high frequency computerized trades) on wall street by the higher prices you pay as a direct consequence. This is a despicable, doomed to failure as previously despite obfuscation, government sponsored/sanctioned fraud. ]  ‘Geithner suggests the economy is getting stronger. Bernanke says the economic recovery is fragile. He elects to print more money to reinvest maturing Treasury bonds into more mortgage-backed securities. These securities will then mature and the Treasury indirectly will have to redeem them. This is a Ponzi-Scheme. And, while the Fed prints money, Bernanke states the U.S. should be reducing our fiscal debt. (He didn’t even blush.) Basically what he and his comrades want are higher prices for stocks and everything we buy in order to avoid the Japanese experience of deflation.

A lawyer and libertarian scholar who had long advocated privatizing Social Security — and once acknowledged taking payments from Jack Abramoff to write favorable op-ed pieces about the lobbyist’s clients — Ferrara said he talks to Gingrich almost daily…’), and the frauds on wall street will just love his social security privatization / new blood for the infamous blood-sucking squid (goldman sachs), to keep the ponzi padded with fresh dough once again on the backs of taxpayers (kind of a ‘k street’ kind of drain).

In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated.

Obamas best surrogate Gingrich boosts the presidents reelection prospects. (Washington Post) [ Indeed, that’s what’s being said across the board. You can count on Mr. Milbank having his fingers crossed for a slimy newt candidacy. Snooty newty, literally a self-proclaimed ‘revolutionary’. Che Gingrich! I can almost envision the posters / t-shirts. It’s really quite amazing / tragic! Narcissistic personality disorder? Could be. See here: Hes So Vain, Hed Be Right in Thinking This Post Is About Him By ANDREW ROSENTHAL NYT  http://loyalopposition.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/hes-so-vain-hed-be-right-in-thinking-this-post-is-about-him  …You cant set too much store by press releases from one campaign about another, but I have to say that Mitt Romneys team has come out with a devastating one. Its titled, poetically: “‘I think Grandiose Thoughts A Selection of Speaker Gingrichs Thoughts Over The Years.

It cites some of the most breathtakingly self-congratulatory statements that Ive ever seen from a politician, and that is a high bar.

Last month: I think I am a transformational figure. (Shouldnt there have been a footnote crediting Barack Obama with that line?)

In 1985, when he was a backbencher in the Reagan G.O.P., to put it generously: I want to shift the entire planet. And Im doing it I represent real power. (Maybe that explains global warming.)

In 1992, when he was on the verge of becoming Speaker of the House, one of the most non-revolutionary things you can do: I am essentially a revolutionary.

And in 2005: I first talked about [saving civilization] in August of 1958. Its fairly impressive that Mr. Gingrich remembers the exact date he first mentioned saving civilization. Too bad its now been almost 54 years and he still hasnt done it.

All politicians love to compare themselves to previous politicians, and Republicans especially love to compare themselves to Abraham Lincoln, whose Republican Party, of course, had no connection to the current one apart from the name. But Mr. Gingrich truly excels at this, as in all other matters egotistical.

The Romney news release, which is carefully sourced, contains examples of Mr. Gingrich likening himself to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher (another revolutionary, essentially), Woodrow Wilson, Henry Clay, Charles de Gaulle (arent Republicans supposed to disdain the French?), William Wallace (from the movie Braveheart, not the actual William Wallace); the Duke of Wellington (presumably not for the beef or the boots), Thomas Edison, Vince Lombardi, the Wright brothers, and any old Viking. And Moses…’ [ In this respect, viz., potentially suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder, he’s not so different from wobama the b for b***s***]: ‘… During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency.

The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln just in terms of what weve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

Bang bang, the socar hillbillies sang

So what, his baby shot him down … with blanks!

"Tea for Two" (recorded 1947 Frank Sinatra / Dinah Shore) (Music/Youmans Lyrics/Caesar)

 

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

 


{actual song in pertinent part}

I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own.

Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's
weary chase is unknown.

Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty
caress the streams.

Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in.
Don't let it abide in my dreams.

And no, sammy was not one of the spooks at the cia who are a bunch of spooks, and so indirectly Franks chimin in on the cias behalf as well. Sing it Frank (with your shadow, sammy):

In U.S., mental illness is no rarityAbout 20 percent of American adults suffer some sort of mental illness each year, government survey finds. (Washington Post) [ As if anyone should need reminding, indeed it is true that mental illness is no rarity in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. In fact, as could reasonably be expected, this referenced survey is by the government and substantially understates the prevalence of mental illness in america, which government study is belied by the conservatively applied using updated DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria, private 2004 National Comorbidity Survey, Ronald Kessler et als, which found 1 in 3 (30%) americans to have suffered some sort of mental illness each year, and 50%, 1 in 2 to have suffered same in their lifetime. I believe the latter referenced private survey, though more accurate than the former referenced government survey (predictably-government interested bias), though dire, still substantially understates the prevalence of mental illness in america which sports the highest crime rates in the world by far including that for serial killers (Though having but 5% of the worlds population, the u.s. has 76% of the worlds serial killers,   http://www.albertpeia.com/realifeamericaserialkillers.mpg ). Absent are unreported / undiagnosed, criminals among others, and a rather insular few (including capital hill, oval office, wall street, etc.). I would put the yearly number more realistically at 4 in 5 (80%) and the ‘in lifetime’ number a percentage in excess of 90%. I believe this evolved trait of criminality, coincident with mental illness to be inherent in the american populace for a multitude of reasons.

Krauthammer: The GOP’s suicide march (Washington Post) [ Wow! Mr. Krauthammer must have been having a ‘bad hair day’. Suicide march? I don’t think so. I even was compelled to look up his (vaulted mis)use of ‘manichean’ (definitions infra) in his rather grimly devised piece. Whew! Time to break out the ‘sackcloth and ashes’. I truly have never seen Mr. Krauthammer so ‘off his game’. If one can’t appreciate the ultimate ‘raison d’etre’ for the occupy movement vis-à-vis the egregious, gargantuan, still unprosecuted wall street frauds, clearly, that person’s not been paying attention; and, to ignore same is to do so at the nation’s peril [ Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender.

I often point to the stupidity of americans generally, but not so dumb to ignore the most basic math coupled with common sense relative to these nation-debilitating, unjustifiable frauds, boondoggles. At this juncture I feel obliged to state that I haven’t voted for decades (kind of along the lines of ‘George Carlin’s famed defense of his own non-voting record which he justified by reminding all that Hitler came to power in a full, free, democratic election by a landslide’). Yet, on all the ‘big ones’, I’ve always taken a prior position based on the ‘reality’ of the prospective result. May I humbly say, I’ve never, ever been wrong. These are ‘debates’ …’words’… geared toward positioning one or another for the opportunity of the ‘big job’. To expect anything less than at least a ‘little bit of juglar’ is a bit naïve. So calm down Mr. Krauthammer; nothing’s been lost. Testament to Mr. Krauthammer being ‘off his game’ here is his positing of ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ as being smart. Au contraire Mr. Krauthammer! Wobama’s quite dumb! If smart, wobama would have done as he said he would do last campaign, and the nation would have been far better off for it! Parenthetically, look to who’s pushing the censorship bills; now, that’s political desperation! To cheer Mr. Krauthammer up, there’s also that egregious ‘Keystone’ misstep which even The Post’s Editorial Board felt compelled to point out. We’ll just chalk this up to ‘(temporary) situational anxiety disorder’.

Greece Has No Idea What Its Gotten Itself Into February 6th, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com   Grahams note: the following is an excerpt from a recent issue of my Private Wealth Advisory newsletter with some additional research I did on the economy of Greece.

The Greeks have no idea what theyve gotten themselves into.

A few facts about Greece

First off, demographics wise, Greece is a disaster.

Real Clear Markets shares the following facts.

  • Greece’s fertility rate is 1.3 children per women. This is nearly a full child below the “replacement rate”: the number of children needed to maintain the current population.
  • Greece’s population of 65 and over has soared from 11% in 1970 to 24% in 2010. It will hit 33% by 2050. Meanwhile, Greece’s working population will decline to 20% over the same time period.
  • Because of this, Greece spends 12% of its GDP on pensions.

As if this werent bad enough, the unemployment rate for Greeks aged 15-24 is 40%. For Greeks aged 24-34 its 22%. Imagine being a young person, not being able to find a job, and then knowing that huge percentage of your efforts (42%) are going to be taxed to fund all the crazy social welfare programs for Greeces aging population…’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meyerson: GOP demonizing of Europe is ridiculous (Washington Post) [ Only in the sense that what’s said of europe applies to pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america many times over (somewhat loosely in the realm of that ‘rubber and glue’ defensive word play / repartee that is of familiar use among children). Yet, I’m absolutely astounded by how dumb the europeans have proven themselves to be; ‘snatching defeat from the jaws of victory’ at every turn; displaying a naïvete that makes one wonder just how much an impact those anthropologically famed Neanderthals had on the region. After all, if they really thought that a very desperate, insurmountably debt-ridden and defacto bankrupt america was going to welcome the initially very successful euro in competition with the over-printed, ever more worthless fiat paper weimar dollar with open arms, they then are candidates for swampland in jersey, watches, brooklyn bridges, etc..

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

The Posts View The Senate didnt do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board Theres still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no wiggle room whatsoever should be countenanced in this legislation. Actually, an outright ban would be a more cut and dry approach and desirable. Objections? Dont run for office if you dont like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a public service sacrifice to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the courts will apply those laws as written and intended, Im constrained to say from direct experience: You dont get out much! http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia.com/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia.com/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  

 

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month, Labor Force Participation Rate Tumbles To Fresh 30 Year Low A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%. Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million. Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 year low of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation.. it can only mean that the US is replacing high paying FIRE jobs with low paying construction and manufacturing

 

 

Implied Unemployment Rate Rises To 11.5%, Spread To Propaganda Number Surges To 30 Year High  

Sick of the BLS propaganda? Then do the following calculation with us: the US civilian non-institutional population was 242,269 in January, an increase of 1.7 million month over month: apply the long-term average labor force participation rate of 65.8% to this number (because as chart 2 below shows, people are not retiring as the popular propaganda goes: in fact labor participation in those aged 55 and over has been soaring as more and more old people have to work overtime, forget retiring), and you get 159.4 million: that is what the real labor force should be. The BLS reported one? 154.4 million: a tiny 5 million difference. Then add these people who the BLS is purposefully ignoring yet who most certainly are in dire need of labor and/or a job to the 12.758 million reported unemployed by the BLS and you get 17.776 million in real unemployed workers. What does this mean? That using just the BLS denominator in calculating the unemployed rate of 154.4 million, the real unemployment rate actually rose in January to 11.5%. Compare that with the BLS reported decline from 8.5% to 8.3%. It also means that the spread between the reported and implied unemployment rate just soared to a fresh 30 year high of 3.2%. And that is how with a calculator and just one minute of math, one strips away countless hours of BLS propaganda.

That is the lowest it has been since February 2009, and it came as an unexpected surprise for financial markets that are hungry for some good news.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payrolls jumped by 243,000 during the month of January.  You can read the full employment report right here.  Based on this news, pundits all over the world were declaring that the U.S. economy is back.  Stocks continued to rise on Friday and the Dow is hovering near a 4 year high.  So does this mean that our economic problems are over?  Of course not.  A closer look at the numbers reveals just how fraudulent these employment statistics really are.  Between December 2011 and January 2012, the number of Americans "not in the labor force" increased by a whopping 1.2 million.  That was the largest increase ever in that category for a single month.  That is how the federal government is getting the unemployment rate to go down.  The government is simply pretending that huge numbers of unemployed Americans don't want to be part of the labor force anymore.  As you will see below, the employment situation in America is not improving.  Yet everyone in the mainstream media is dancing around as if the economic crisis has been cancelled.  I can't take it anymore!  It is beyond ridiculous that so many intelligent people continue to buy in to such fraudulent numbers…  http://albertpeia.com/Labor-Force-Participation-Rate-440x264.png  , http://albertpeia.com/Employment-Population-Ratio-440x264.png … ,  Long-Term Unemployment Remains High, Millions Leave Labor Force Matt Cover | Number of long-term unemployed was unchanged at 5.5 million in January, near its record .. , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CONTROVERSIAL JOBS REPORT STOKES BULLS February 03, 2012 ‘The jobs report Friday was a ginned-up number but the media and algos don’t look under the hood much it seems. Yes, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3% and 243K new jobs were created and perhaps the number itself will boost confidence.My favorite book from college statistics was ‘How to Lie with Statistics’. I believe the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) may have ripped a chapter or two from the book. The details were interesting and little reported because the media has soap to sell. First a whopping 1.2 million people vanished from the labor force in 2011. That is a massive seasonal/consensus driven adjustment. The BLS assumes those people aged 55 and higher died from the 2010 consensus. (So much for living longer in the USA!)This means the labor force fell to a 30 year low of 63.7%. Around 113K of the gain in employment came from low wage jobs according to CRT Capital Group. Also part-time jobs rose by 699K, the third highest in history, while only 80K full-time jobs were created. Finally, the ISM Services Report, which rose to 56.8 from 52.6, included an increase in sector employment from 49.8 to 57.3, but perhaps didn’t include large sector bank layoffs.

Economists: 2012 is looking up (Washington Post) [ Wow! You really can’t make this stuff up. We now must add economists to the list of those who lack the ability to count! Welcome to what is now ‘Weimar World’, where your worst economic nightmares ultimately come true.

{To Congresswoman Roybal-Allard } ‘…The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change).

That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that 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 would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’ http://albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm

[ website archived links http://albertpeia.com/uscocainedistributionfiles.htm  ) ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

Ireland struggles to regain economic footing The nation has tried to closely follow the playbook set out by the IMF, but the depth of its problems and outside events have made progress difficult. (Washington Post) [ Difficult to keep up with the piiigs as in, which one, which problem, and then, the biggest pig of all by far, pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america (  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion )   .  European Solidarity - "Everybody Knows The Spanish Are Lying About The Figures”Back in October, when Greece was rewarded with further bond haircuts for progressively missing its economic targets, even after having gotten caught on at least one occasion making its economy appear worse than it was, we said that it is only a matter of time before "Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy will promptly commence sabotaging their economies (just like Greece) simply to get the same debt Blue Light special as Greece." In the aftermath of this statement, we got the Irish and the Portuguese proceeding to slowly but surely do just that. Today, it was Spain's turn to make it 3 out of 4 after as Reuters noted so appropriately, "Spain defies Brussels on deficit target" clarifying that "Spain set itself a softer budget target for 2012 on Friday than originally agreed under the euro zone's austerity drive, putting a question mark over the credibility of the European Union's new fiscal pact. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insisted he was acting within EU guidelines because the plan was still to hit the European Union public deficit goal of 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013." That Italy is sure to follow is absolutely guaranteed, however just because the ECB is now indirectly monetizing BTPs the true impact will be delayed far more, and instead of taking prompt steps to remedy the situation, the European complacency will be accentuated by the fact that bond yields are very low, and supposedly indicates the true state of the economy. No. All it indicates is the conversion of future inflation (courtesy of €1 trillion in new money in the past 3 months) for a very temporary respite before all hell ultimately breaks loose as countries pretend everything is ok as bond yields are pushed artificially low. And in doing nothing, the fundamentals in the economy only get worse and worse.

Underwater borrowers may find snag Despite HARP revisions, AIG unit’s stance may stymie loan relief for some underwater borrowers. (Washington Post) [ Snags indeed! First, there are plenty of them; so many in fact, a logistical, statistical, numerical nightmare. Second, the securitization underlying much of the debacle lent itself to and is rife with frauds of such magnitude so as to be in some ways beyond manageable proportion, and not for the faint of heart given the nuanced legal and factual complexity intertwined with same.

Bum Rush Editorial Board Republicans can no longer avoid their Limbaugh problem. (Washington Post) [ One of those instances when the Editorial Board is absolutely correct. I’ve always found the war mongering ‘amen corner’ of talk radio particularly to be counter-productive for the nation and the world, not to mention the republican party itself. Yet, there’s no denying that he does make some good points because there are so many good points to be made owing to egregious failure, incompetence, and corruption on both sides of the isle. The foregoing ‘point’ however, clearly, was definitely not one of them; nor is the following:  Limbaugh: Ron Paul “Sounds Like An Islamic Terrorist” Steve Watson | Says he would have no problem with TSA detaining US Congressman. [ Ah, come on. You got to infer something’s supplanted limbaugh’s hillbilly heroin and clouding his judgement. He’s watched too much ‘24’ (while sampling his ‘talk radio’ among others, he’d talk of this show as if reality) ‘under the influence’ which has had the desired mainstream hypnotic effect on his bloated / clouded perspective; the king of ‘hillbilly heroin’, flushed rush out on a limbaugh (even to the point of deafness – that’s quite a compulsion).  ]

Five myths about Vladi­mir Putin (Washington Post) [ Much like many of problems globally, from strife to economic / financial fraud / instability, the myths are of particularly american and western origin; and, a consequence of their seething envy of and resentment toward this talented, great leader of an historically great nation.

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holdiong their breath.

Energy Dept. failed to act as Solyndra sank (WP) [ This stuff is becoming all too typical. I believe it’s time to start questioning what federal employees get paid for. After all, pervasively corrupt america is defacto bankrupt (  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion ) .

The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

The Posts View The Senate didnt do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board Theres still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers.

Actually, an outright ban would be a more cut and dry approach and desirable. Objections? Dont run for office if you dont like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a public service sacrifice to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating).

The following two comments sum up my view on the subject.

Moreover, I truly and seriously think they are a bunch of a**h***s. Indeed, their 'games' are pathetic and an insult to intelligence and typify the nerdy, neurotic persona of their founder(s) zuckerberg et als (I don't begrudge them their money but he is painfully neurotic from what Ive discerned);  and, contrary to the spin, ****************** I initially signed up for website representation and was 'tagged' by some old friends from high school and even earlier without which I'd otherwise be inclined to delete my facebook account.  If they were interested, they could sign up on the LATimes site, etc., themselves. This process of commenting is not brain surgery and for 'politically motivated' companies as facebook and the aforementioned, have the potential for a greater chilling effect on 1st amendment protected discourse. That facebook has become intrusively political is a testament to their 'hearing footsteps' of a fad of 'modern-day-hula-hoop' proportion; at the least, of 'also ran status' and hence, their entree into such arenas as this as the unavoidable but redundant 'middleman'. Publishers don't need them and should realize that. At most, it should be optional, which wasn't the case for some comments, despite my being signed in with the LATimes site, username, alpeia.

Frankly, i avoid commenting systems that use the Facebook model. I don't need my friends getting my comments on subjects they could care less about, or getting my comments that are diametrically opposed to their own particular viewpoints. We all have differing viewpoints on matters, and most of us know not to discuss those subjects with our friends that may (or are) rabid or reactionary.
 
So...when I post a comment regarding my leftist Kennedy Democrat leanings, I don't need it to be sent to one of my best friends who is a die hard Republican and former "operative" in Massachusetts politics. Similarly, I'm an agnostic while my brother is a born-again Baptist. Do I want him to get missives via Facebook every time I post somewhere regarding the lack of logic exhibited by the true believers?
 
We are all bombarded with information overload every day, taking up more and more of our time and brain bandwidth. I only want information that is relevant to me, and I'm sure my friends, family and business colleagues feel the same way.
 
Just think of the way the newspaper or LATimes website is structured: designed in sections so that the people interested in sports, food, politics etc. can access that info readily, without having to sift through and look at a bunch of extraneous info they could care less about.

Sad day for me!

We had to put down my great companion Nikki down today. Almost 12 years old Great Pyrennes (they were bred do guard sheep and protect them from bears and wolves). Truly a great dog who had a mind of her own and was loyal and I will really miss her. I have owned 3 great dogs in my life and all have lived to old age for a dog. It truly makes your heart feel sad when you finally have to say good-bye.

I hope my kids pull the plug on me so I don't suffer or are ever a burden to them.

Nikki, I will miss you!

Happy, healthy birthday to you and best wishes for many more to come! You may have noticed some news stories surrounding the earthquake damaged Washington Monument (or not
Washington Monument remains closed msnbc.com ) which brought to mind that long weekend excursion to D.C. you may recall (just a few years ago) upon Wals recommendation since AU was sporting an outdoor concert [Little Richard(whats up with that?) turned out to be the warm-up band to the featured band, Procol Harem] and there was to be a massive protest / demonstration / camp-out at the monuments (and of course to hear Forest Gumps speech just kidding). The (evening) concert in their amphitheater was cool and stylishly late 60ish, early 70ish. Its at this point that youll have to rely on my memory of the events immediately thereafter. As always, we were in search of babes of easy virtue (the free-lovin hippie girls were made to order for expedient, pseudo-hippies at best like us looking for a proverbial roll in the hay, euphemistically speaking). In fact, you shrewdly from a hawking perspective hooked up with a bunch of hippies at the concert and proceeded to get quite stoned while smoking what you assumed was just pot throughout. At the end of the concert, Wal gathered us up to head to the monuments where huge numbers were camped out for the rallies the following day. When we finally found you, you were sitting with just a few of the bunch you were with, unable to speak, stand, or move at all. You seemed totally paralyzed. We asked them what they were smoking to which they replied, pot laced with angel dust (pcp-I didnt even know what it was). They assured us youd be okay by morning. Finally, since Wal seemed to be in a rush to get to the monuments, we literally had to guide you by arm to the car and through the monument campout grounds at a very brisk clip for reasons only Wal could explain, stopping to speak to no one [ You guys had mentioned that at Woodstock (I couldnt get off work at Arcola Pool) Wal was a bit freaked by all the havoc and particularly the unsanitary conditions, even to the point he was refusing to check out the naked babes swimming openly without inhibition which you guys were really into, by your accounts. ] You were indeed fine by the next day, and we partied / got drunk and we wound up at The Waff. Wal was totally drunk, had a black water pistol (looked like a .38 cal) , and was squirting everyone. Suddenly, out jumped two plain clothes cops (I assume DC Police Detectives FBI always announce / show their badges). Wal was so drunk he was still laughing and shooting the water pistol even as they slammed him up against the wall, guns drawn and pointed to his head; even as I was yelling at their over-reaction; and that it was a water pistol. As bad as that was, in todays environment, wed likely have been shot. (I think this was the same weekend as the concert).
Happy Birthday Eggi!

I could not sleep last night and went for a bike ride at 3:00 AM. No one on the road but made me think that we are getting a lot closer to the backstrech. And I used to think my parents were ancient.
 
Gary Wallen
ALSO FOR MY BASKETBALL CHALLENGE I WENT TO THE PARK TO SHOOT YESTERDAY. I PROBABLY HAVE NOT SHOT IN ABOUT 8 YEARS AND DID A FEW WARMUPS AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE 37 FREETHOWS IN A ROW. I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY IMPREESIVE FOR A 61 OLD.

I had an interesting challange from a 33 year old guy at work who never even
played high school ball. He said he could kick my ass in hoops. I know I can
still shoot, because you never lose that and I now I can always post my fat ass
to the hoop. I wonder if i could still kick his butt a age 61. My guess is a
definite yes .GAME ON.

Gotback from the dentist with two new crowns for my front teeth from my bycyle accident. Amaszing what they do with modern technology. No more making molds, they can scan your teeth and you get a perfect match. Plus, I got great feedback from the 30ish hygentist that I am now good looking again...!!!! Jill is in San Diego visiting our son Jason and I wish I could be there.

Al Peia

Hey Wal:

I could have made this more cruel (but our longstanding friendship, upon reflection, got in the way and I deleted some) ***************. To save you from yourself and from becoming a facebook / internet bully, I write (and I'm smilin' as I do so) as follows:

 

Wal, I'm surprised and take umbrage at your insensitive remarks and on behalf of short people everywhere, I write in response to your observation immediately hereafter: '12-17-10 Gary Wallen Chalk it up to cold Darwinism, cultural standards, or the simple feminine desire to have a man around who can reach the top shelf, but just about every stature study in the last 20 years confirms what short guys already know: women prefer taller men.[ Wal, I believe this to be among the greatest insights into 'short people' since randy newman's hit song of the same name.] ...It's nice to be 6''5". I didn't know the average height for a man in the USA is only 5'9".' [***** And, I'm sure that 'great stature thing' was what the dinosaurs were sayin' just before ..... then there were the archaic modern human antecessors ..... I think we should ask the Chinese, Japanese, etc., what they think ... my own (different female sexual partner) liasons numbering in the low to mid hundreds (no exaggeration - and I can truthfully say that every girl among them I truly liked) probably meant, fortunately for me, said girls had not read your surveys ... The only direct experience (hardly a random sampling for statistical validity) concerned that attractive 'Ridgewood girl' in the convertible with a mini-skirt that left little to the imagination who chose a short guy (me at 5'6" over that 3 varsity letter man you kept reminding her - I won't mention your dangling, by a string of saliva, throat lozenge that landed on her lap which I'm sure helped 'seal the deal') over that big guy (you at 6'5") ... Then there's Napoleon, Putin, Jefferson, Washington, etc.. There's also danger (liasons dangereux) as Julian Assange can attest to and I also experienced in light of my RICO litigation on my 'road to interim / temporary sacrificial celibacy', which has been great for my concentration ... It's brain size / capacity, short and simple, in the new century particularly, as it always was! ( About 23 million years ago hominoids appeared in the form of primative apes. It was from one of said primative apes that the family of man, Hominidae branched off 6 to 5 million years ago. The bigger brain and consequent ability to manipulate environment were the key to evolutionary success. The Darwinian model of a steady, gradual 'fine-tuning' of natural selection has been totally disavowed by all experts in favor of the view that natural selection is a conservative force, acting rather relatively quickly, to maintain a species adaptation. )

 

Finally, Wal, you may remember the first time we had gotten stoned. I was living in Seacrest Beach (summer, 1970) and you came down for the week. Two girls I had previously met on the beach apparently scored some pot (and probably needed a place to smoke it) stopped by; and we smoked some (I snitched a little which we were to continue smoking later.) Truth be told, in what was probably the only instance where being short was of a distinct advantage, I was paired with the smaller (about 5'4"), very cute and pretty blonde cheerleader from Parsipany, while you got the near 6' but also attractive friend. The pretty blonde and I retreated to my bedroom. Unfortunately for you, the tall girl you were with was bitchy and witchy (you may recall she was a self-proclaimed witch who had also dubbed me, 'Alday'. Our attitude concerning such personality quirks was one that comported with our rather shallow, jockish, but very expedient mindset with girls; viz., as long as they were attractive and 'put out', just fine ... or as they say here (in southern California) in the valley, 'whatever'). When they left, we smoked what was left of the pot, and you immediately began cooking up food (munchies) and as I watched you, you appeared to be moving in a very jerky but slow motion fashion (like a slow motion, 15 fps old silent film) to which I called your attention more than once also attributing same to your being stoned ... Finally, you abruptly stated that it was I who was stoned which I hadn't realized up to that point but suddenly realized was true. But it was also true that we were both stoned. ] ... JUST FUNNIN' WITH YOU, WAL! Regards, Al

 

----- As I previously related to Charlie Crane regarding that '21 questions thing' on facebook, and in light of your prior inquiries: The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays). Hey Charlie! Thank you for your vote of confidence and kind remarks. I think you're correct on all counts. The last I heard (1992) you were doing extremely well (I think running a new car dealership and making loads of money, etc.). I remember in 7th grade you kept the class in stitches with your spontaneous, often hilarious humor, and in high school you were very prominent and tough on the football field. However, you did err regarding a girl (initials B.R.) in our 7th grade class who while wearing tea shirts then (you reminded her), wound up by high school having among the biggest pairs of t***s in the school.

 

The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays). Regards, Al

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar). The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ]. Continued December 19, 2010 at 4:31pm · Like Al Peia Cont’d The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . ...See More December 19, 2010 at 4:32pm · Like

Thank you for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. It's springtime and 'back when' as now, the same meant spring break. In discussing spring break with the instructor at the LATTC workout facility where I worked out, I told him the story you may recall of our spring break excursion to Fort Lauderdale / Daytona ('Where the Girls Are'). I also told him that you guys would never let me live this down ... but that I deserved not being able to live this down ... he couldn't stop laughing. Though set up by Steve with a great pad, viz., Harvey's plush apartment, we were not able to get any babes back to said pad. Indeed, the prevalence of 'sopers(sic)'(muscle relaxants/downs) made Steve's apartment, despite early unbridled enthusiasm including 'air guitars' to 'Gimme Shelter', look like the sight of a bomb blast with bodies strewn about, having 'fallen out' (except for that one 'curious' guy whom we'd invariably find struggling to stay awake and not 'fall out'), when we returned from our (unsuccessful) hawking rounds on the strip. We found this quite amusing and stuck to our 'smoke/boone's farm apple wine' regimen. We then went to Daytona where we met 3 attractive girls whose hardluck story was that despite having rented for the week, the landlord of the motel said they were to leave (in favor of some guys who had probably paid him extra). In what I described to some as 'my first legal case', I felt this to be wrong (I had business law and at the least this was breach of contract) and threatened to go to authorities / mayor's office to register a complaint. He relented, and the girls kept their room and came back to ours. We smoked hashish and we all got totally stoned. The truth is I was so stoned, I couldn't make up my mind which girl to go after and was as you aptly put it, 'floatin''. Daytona / floater, you guys rightfully got on my case for that one. I'll never live that down.

Hello Ellen:

 

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. You may recall (just a few years ago) at Steve Marcus' Bar Mitzvah at B'Nai Birth (?) how I walked into the chapel sans yarmilke and shawl and got a few looks. Your Dad interupted his duties to attend to my 'lapse in protocol' and escorted me to a separate room and supplied with same. He seemed amused by it all which I thought was very cool; and, I thought to myself what an nice, intelligent, and balanced man he was.[ In today's environment, such as it is, I would probably have been accused of anti-semitism and taken out back and shot ... just kidding! (such an accusation would have been ridiculous then as now). ]

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. I could not help but notice your eclectic taste in and knowledge of such a wide variety of music. I've pretty simple musical taste (classic rock - ie., Beatles, Stones, Doors, Yes, Grand Funk, jefferson Starship, Supertramp, Creedence, Fleetwood Mac, etc.), some pop (ie., Cats, etc.), and of course, classical. I did see a reference to roller skating and you may recall our 'wild sessions' of same at the Church gym. I must say that to this day I'm somewhat ashamed of our youthful indiscretion / bad judgment in subtly mocking 'little hooky'.

Indeed, 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 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 went to jail. 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).

Hey Wal:

Happy, healthy new year to you and your family. My changed number was to 'magic jack' (I recommend it) since my att/sbc (jersey / bushland) phone line became unusable, affecting my dsl line which I dropped in favor of Time Warner Cable / Internet. I last spoke with the FBI in January, 2011, who informed me that 'they printed out the documents on the disks', which is, in their somewhat cryptic way of saying, a good thing. Their position will determine mine. I'll let you know when I do.

Regards,

Hey Charlie!

Thank you for your vote of confidence and kind remarks. I think you're correct on all counts. The last I heard (1992) you were doing extremely well (I think running a new car dealership and making loads of money, etc.). I remember in 7th grade you kept the class in stitches with your spontaneous, often hilarious humor, and in high school you were very prominent and tough on the football field. However, you did err regarding a girl (initials B.R.) in our 7th grade class who while wearing tea shirts then (you reminded her), wound up by high school having among the biggest pairs of t***s in the school. The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays).

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

(continued)

Al Peia

‎(cont’d)
In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

1. 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..
2. 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.
3. 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 ]
4. 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 ]
5. 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.
6. 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, 3rd 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’.

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Sincerely,

Hi Lorraine:
Thanks for the tip. I could always use some weight loss; but, frankly, when I so choose I use the 'old wrestling diet' of not eating. You look healthy. I remember in first grade, we used to compare lunches in our 'little lunch boxes' (do they still use them?) and you gave a thumbs up to my least favorite lunch 'cheese sandwich', saying your grandfather told you that cheese was good for your teeth, which made my subsequent least favorite lunches more palatable. Wal (Gary Wallen) has always been a cheese aficionado, so much so that he earned the nickname 'cheese' / 'cheeseburger' at American U. where we used to visit Wal on a very fun campus. (I can attest to Wal's affinity for same from our 'shoretime party days' and when we worked together at Arcola Pool).

Regards,

Al

Thank you for your gracious and overly humble comment. Over time, such things become less and less important and I can't say that I actually recall that, per se. As we both know, wrestling was never a pleasant undertaking and although I respect(ed) the sport, I made it a point never to set foot on a mat off season. You may also find it somewhat ironic that I actually had made the basketball team (Hubie Brown for whom I had high regard was varsity coach and Richie Szura
the J.V. coach), which sport I enjoyed; and in a meeting arranged by Dan Deluca (I had won a tournament in junior high and the match against the rival Thomas Jefferson Junior High) with Coach Szura wherein Szura nicely but candidly told me that although I had made the team, "that I wasn't the tallest of angels" (which I thought was very funny and we all laughed) and essentially I'd be warming the bench while Deluca guaranteed me a varsity letter for wrestling the easy matches since varsity wrestler Richard Zocco was having difficulty making weight (he never made weight). As trite and cliched as it sounds, it was the varsity letter guarantee
that sealed the deal (and in my mind, the prospective "help with the babes therefrom" - actually, it was only the pretty sophomores with whom it ultimately paid dividends so to speak - how very high school). I had a great Coach in Roger Saunders who recruited me to NYU (Roger and his brother Richard, a CIA agent/mechanic, were both national champions). Wrestling has always been an important learning experience for me. Such a kind and humble remark as yours

Hi Al,
 
I know of you from my old wrestling coach, Ron Pollack.  I know that you wrestled at NYU, and that you won the Met Championships.  I am writing a book about my own experiences in wrestling, judo, and ju jitsu.  I wrestled in the Met championships in 1984 when they were held at NYU, and I remember seeing an old newspaper article they had on display that talked about you winning the Mets in '72 or '73.  You beat Pollack in the finals.  Pollack's coach was quoted in the article as saying that Ron "gassed out", I'm assuming from nerves.  I am really interested in the phenomenon of "choking" in a sports event due to being nervous.  I was wondering if you had any memories you could share about this particular match?  I know it was a long time ago, but if you do remember anything I would appreciate whatever you could share.

Hello Ethan:

The mother of one of our team mates worked with Ron Pollack's dad who kept telling her how badly Ron Pollack was going to beat me (some others played him up saying he consistently beat his team mate stu pruzansky by substantial margins and other such things). In fact, he took an early lead with a take-down that he was quite good at and I was looking for (something between a firemans' carry and a barrel role)[1972]. However, by the end of the match, he was quite haggard, in tears, and I actually had to hold him up on the podium. My tougher match was the semi's where I met two-time defending Met Champion Ed Rufrano (he got a special trophy for scoring the most team points over a period of time). He was quite strong and although I won, I had slipped a cervical disk (for which I ultimately needed traction - I couldn't even do a push-up after a couple of days which is very humbling when one relies so much on will-power). I had also beaten Ron in the finals of the Freshman Met Tournament. I was injured by the end of the season in the two prior intervening years (interestingly, the neurologist for the herniated disk pointed out that my bones were relatively small compared to my musculature/body-mass). I was fortunate to have a great coach in Roger Saunders (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA Agent/Mechanic, were both National Champions). I couldn't imagine Roger saying one of his wrestlers "gassed out", even if true. Ron certainly didn't "choke" in the first period, if at all.

I really appreciate your insights about this.  I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days.  I only knew him when I was in  high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis.  He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Roger Saunders was my coach at NYU and clearly, a great one at that, who subsequently went to Bloomsburg where he was ultimately Athletic Director on last info. Bob Metz had quite a few winning teams at FDU, but he was not Saunders whose brother's wrestling success I alluded to so as to emphasize his wrestling prowess as no fluke. The last I heard of Dave Pruzansky he was diving out of a window of his house to evade police who had busted his drug-dealing operation. As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest. I included reference to pruzansky because they developed a very curious, bizarre, and almost gang-like mentality within their "wrestling click". Upon information, many (if not all) of their clique "amped up" on amphetamines before their matches. Very close to their clique was the very weird and corrupt ref spike israel. The very quiffy spike israel had a "little buddy" jim fiore and had recruited David and his little buddy (among others) to Temple University to which he had some connection, and actually attempted to recruit me to same. I didn't take him seriously; firstly, because he told everyone he had been a state champ (bull s**t); secondly, because he had screwed me in a high school match wherein I had pinned leonard pruzanzky in the first period (I had him on his back almost the entire first period and israel gave me no back points, 2 or 3 for near fall, let alone the pin, and just the takedown and I lost by a point on riding time-leg ride). In an open tournament (I think Stroudsburg?), I was looking at the seedings/pairings/chart and David came up behind me pointed to my entry and said to the guy he was with that I had beaten his brother leonard. Roger required our team during one Christmas break to compete in my first and only free-style tournament. I was up two weight classes and David won quite handily. That was the third time I had beaten Ron and frankly, I did grind him into the mat and kick his ass for the late balance of the first period and the remainder of the match.

 

The following is a reply on facebook to someone who said I beat him in wrestle-off and

completes my wrestling story.

Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Truly, thanks for all your info.  Interesting that you should mention Spike Israel.  I am assuming that the word "quiffy" is code for "gay".  Spike was coach at Tenafly High when I was in high school, and was known to "like boys".  Apparently he taught the Tenafly guys only one move, the Granby roll, which they were all quite good at, but very little else.  Besides Ron in the early '70's and Steve and Dave Yale in the later '70's Tenafly basically had no decent wrestlers during that period.  Not really sure if this was a coaching issue or recruiting issue.  Our high school (DMHS in Englewood) had former state champ Bob Hurley (Bergenfield) as our assistant coach and former state runner up Reggie Williams (Hackensack) as head coach, and we also fielded very few good wrestlers during those years.

To: "Al Peia" <[email protected]>
Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 2:07 PM

I really appreciate your insights about this.  I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days.  I only knew him when I was in  high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis.  He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Al Peia Hello Ellen:

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. You may recall (just a few years ago) at Steve Marcus' Bar Mitzvah at B'Nai Birth (?) how I walked into the chapel sans yarmilke and shawl and got a few looks. Your Dad interrupted his duties to attend to my 'lapse in protocol' and escorted me to a separate room and supplied with same. He seemed amused by it all which I thought was very cool; and, I thought to myself what an nice, intelligent, and balanced man he was.[ In today's environment, such as it is, I would probably have been accused of anti-semitism and taken out back and shot ... just kidding! (such an accusation would have been ridiculous then as now). ]

Regards,

Al

I hope we're referring to the same German teacher that taught at Fair Lawn High, in the classroom across from my social studies class with that prejudiced zionist hebrew bichler (My yearbooks were among the items stolen in jersey). He was husky, bald and had congratulated me subsequent to my upsetting defending Regional Champion harvey gold in the District Tournament Finals. He took out some of his competition photos including high-bar gymnastics which sport always amazed me inasmuch that was an inherited trait of ancient primates that never manifested in me, nor did I even think of trying. He also praised the sport of wrestling because you
use every muscle in your body, which is true. I like Russia (and what's not to like about Russian girls), but not when they were the Soviet Union and I was very happy when Latvia got it's independence which made me think of Eggi, and particularly Eggi's dad who was extremely intelligent, cultured, and talented. Wal took Russian, I took French; but I have no facility with languages (including computer programming languages) other than what I initially learned and some code (html, etc.). I think I should invest in one of those electronic translators. I work out at LATTC's gym/workout center. It is unlikely that I will ever set foot in the state of jersey again since I have more well connected (mob, etc.) enemies there than I care to think of.

    • Albie, I thought there was only one German teacher....... I really did not know what an athlete he was. He must have loved our school though. We had the best athletic program!
      I don't know if you remember Lew Detmering or not. I have know him since I was taller than he was. I was three and he was two. He was my neighbor. He told me about a year ago he went to a basketball game in Texas and who was the coach??? Hubie. He started singing in the stands when it got a little quiet. "Our strong bands can nare be broken..........., you know the rest of the alma mater....... Well Hubie turned around and started laughing. Lew's daughters nearly flipped because they thought their Dad was full of it saying he knew Hubie.
      We had some crew in our school. I feel sorry for the kids where I live. I work for the Dept of Juvenile Justice in FL and the kids here have no sense of community or family for that matter. The state has become the parents... Sad.
      Can't believe your yearbooks got stolen. YOU of all people not to have a yearbook with all you were in them!!!
      I didn' ever think I would speak another language, you should give it a try. Before I took German, I had five wasted years of Spanish and all I ever said in any language was Oi Vey!!!

    • In this last message reply to you, I relate the following:

      I was in Washington, D.C., at the law firm of reknown lawyer Edward Bennett Williams (even ego-maniac F. Lee Bailey conceded Williams talent?greatness, though Williams was more than just a lawyer, when lawyers were lawyers and not liars as today) on behalf of a client (Williams' firm represented the publisher - not The Washington Post for which I have high regard concerning their respect for the first amendment- and I was there concerning the contractually retained right of review and effectively, revision). It was there that I experienced the most astounding legal experience to date; viz., a word processor/typist who was able to type (not
      short hand/stenography) at speeds exceeding what you could read off a written page or even think for that matter, and with complete accuracy. I am amazed by anyone who types nearly as fast, which talent eludes me compounded by my antipathy for same despite having to do same quite a bit. It's not that I'm without manual dexterity (with a year's worth of lessons I could play the piano, albeit somewhat perfunctorily - my piano was among the items stolen in jersey). In sum, I hate typing and hence, I am not into this, so please do not take it personally as my prospective replies to your messages to me will be euphemistically if not accurately as follows:

      Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth ... My fingers are aching. That about does it from me to you prospectively since I'm "developing a case of carpal tunnel syndrome from all this typing".

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. Sorry to hear of your medical difficulties and my best wishes for speedy recovery. As for your jersey government complaints, I've found mob-infested jersey to be totally hopeless [ You might find this link interesting re: same http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (I'm waiting
on the FBI whose position will determine mine) - plus, as pertains to the political scenario including the mob, sean hannity lives in jersey, so what can you expect. ] .I include the following which in the process of updating / completing my skills / knowledge base were part of exercises therein (also on my website):

I support the police 100% for good reason and previously wrote: CITY ON EDGE: Cash-Strapped

Newark, new jersey Forced To Lay Off 14% Of Police Force... [ From decades old (1978-1985)

direct personal experience with newark, n.j., the police are the absolute last cuts that can be afforded to be made. Indeed, 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 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 went to jail. 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). (Other newark / new jersey and new york, n.y. metro, viz., ie., connecticut, and of course, d.c., d.c. metro, viz., ie., virginia experience … corrupt federal judges as maryanne trump barry, sam alito, shiff, matz (california), hall, underhill, dorsey, etc..

CBO: Budget produces $977B deficit in 2013Is Congress setting itself up for a pension crisis?  (Washington Post) [ If only it was just the pensions there’d be reason to hope! The Fed Isn’t Providing “Monetary Morphine”; It’s Spreading Financial Cancer That is Killing the Markets and Democratic Capitalism in General March 16, 2012 By gpc1981 http://gainspainscapital.comWhile the vast majority of commentators look at the market action of the last three months and celebrate, I cannot help but shudder. The reason is that the stock market has been propped up solely by Central Bank and/or Federal Government intervention or the hope of more intervention.That alone is worrisome as it indicates the stock market no longer cares for economic or financial fundamentals (something that has been clear for several years now).However, far more worrisome is fact that the Fed and Federal Government are now not only propping up stock prices, but are openly trying to crush other assets (especially politically dangerous commodities such as oil and gasoline) in an attempt to make it appear that inflation is under control.Consider the following: #1)   The sudden talk of “sterilized QE” or QE that won’t involve more money printing (read: There is No Such Thing as Sterilized QE). #2)   The sudden and curious collapse in precious metals (right after Bernanke says QE 3 isn’t coming anytime soon… only for the Fed to leak the “sterilized QE” talk a week after Gold and Silver collapse). #3)   The Government’s decision to unlock our Strategic Petroleum Reserves again (crushing gas prices which were the primary inflationary concern of the Obama administration) #4)   Those Wall Streeters close to the Fed (Goldman’s Jan Hatzius) predicting “sterilized QE” coming in April or June ALL OF THESE MOVES HAVE TWO GOALS:  #1)   Propping up stocks #2)   Crushing those commodities/ assets that are politically (and economically) dangerous (gasoline, food prices). The take away point that I’m trying to make here is that we’re now at the point of intervention in which the Fed is openly managing the markets right down to specific asset classes.Never in history has Central Planning gone well for either the markets or the economy. Wall Street and the mainstream media may cheer that stocks are up and inflation “transitory” (despite clear evidence that the latter point is false: the bond market indicates real inflation to be around 10%).

IMF agrees to latest Greek bailout The International Monetary Fund agrees to contribute $36B toward the latest bailout of Greece, deepening the agency’s financial exposure to a country that has become one of its most difficult rescue projects. (Washington Post) [ The latest, but not the last!

The Big Fat Greek Lie Is Now Obvious to Spain… So Who’s Next to Default? March 15, 2012 By gpc1981  http://gainspainscapital.com ‘The big fat Greek lie being spread throughout the financial community is that Greece has been saved. It’s a lie for the following reasons:

#1)   Greece did in fact default

#2)   Greece now has more debt than it did before the bailout (how does writing off €100 billion Euros in debt and taking on €130 billion Euros in more debt improve this situation?)

#3)   The Greek economy continues to implode (youth unemployment over 50%, one in ten Greek youth looking for jobs abroad, Greek GDP fell 7% in 4Q11)

#4)   This Second Bailout was indeed a “Credit event” which the markets have yet to discount (though German investors are already lining up litigation)

#5)   Germany’s finance minister has already admitted Greece may need a third bailout.

Anyone who thinks that Greece is better off, let alone “saved” is out of their minds. The Euro may have been saved for a few more weeks/ months. But Greece is in worse shape than ever.

Indeed, if anything, the Greek situation has made it clear that the whole “give up fiscal sovereignty and implement austerity measures in exchange for bailouts” formula is a waste of time and money. Let’s take a look at the progression here.

1)   Greece claims it doesn’t need a bailout at all (January 2010-March 2010)

2)   Greece begins to ask for a bailout (April-May 2010)

3)   Greece gets a bailout equal to 57% of its GDP (May 2010)

4)   Greece posts a GDP of -4% in 2010

5)   Greece announces it won’t be able to meet budget requirements/ payback the first bailout on time and asks for an extension (January-February 2011)

6)   Greece asks for another extension (May 2011)

7)   Talk of Second Greek Bailout begins (July –October 2011)

8)   Greece posts a GDP of -6.5% in 2011

9)   Second Greek bailout announced/ finalized (February/March 2012)

10) Talk of third Greek bailout begins (March 2012)

No other EU country could look at this progression and think “this looks like a good approach.” Indeed, Spain and Italy must be watching what’s happening in Greece and asking themselves whether they want to go through this whole process of negotiating for bailouts via austerity measures.

Both countries have already had a small sampling of the austerity measure medicine. Spain recently implemented a meager 19€ billion in austerity measures while Italy passed 30€ billion in austerity measures in 2011… hardly a drop out of their respective 1.06€ trillion and 1.5€ trillion economies.

Yet, even these tiny moves resulted in protests and riots...

But economists and oil experts say not so much — at least in the short term. (Washington Post) [ Oh indeed he is to blame; but, he’s far from alone in sharing the blame. When you print Weimar fiat paper money with no concomitant increase in real value (economic, simplistically stated), you get the familiar Weimar effect of increased prices, and not just for oil / gas (this will get much worse; and, to be sure, this strategy has never, ever worked). Food, meats particularly if you’ve been to the grocery store, are rising consistent with inflation rates far in excess of that reported. This, owing to the defacto bankruptcy of the nation in this election-year attempt at obfuscation for that ‘feel good’, ‘everything comin’ up roses’ effect. Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer On Fake Wealth Creation And Its Implications (Part 1)What is fraud except creating “value” from nothing and passing it off as something? Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization.

Voters blame Obama for high gas prices How much does the president have to do with the price of gasoline? A lot, say voters. But economists and oil experts say not so much — at least in the short term. (Washington Post) [ Oh indeed he is to blame; but, he’s far from alone in sharing the blame. When you print Weimar fiat paper money with no concomitant increase in real value (economic, simplistically stated), you get the familiar Weimar effect of increased prices, and not just for oil / gas (this will get much worse; and, to be sure, this strategy has never, ever worked). Food, meats particularly if you’ve been to the grocery store, are rising consistent with inflation rates far in excess of that reported. This, owing to the defacto bankruptcy of the nation in this election-year attempt at obfuscation for that ‘feel good’, ‘everything comin’ up roses’ effect. Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer On Fake Wealth Creation And Its Implications (Part 1)What is fraud except creating “value” from nothing and passing it off as something? Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization.

U.S. adds 227,000 jobs in February The gain was led by jobs in the professional and business services sector — many of them temporary positions — and the health care industry. (Washington Post) [ To the author of this article’s credit, she points to the important facts that the purported gains (I submit that these are but unaffordably uneconomic ‘electioneered’ electionyeared obfuscations, manipulations) were temporary positions in the services sector. While her name sounds at  least Asian if not Japanese, brought to mind are ominous words of the late brilliant Sony founder Morita who warned (america) that you can’t grow an economy by moving paper around (especially fraudulent / toxic paper as on fraudulent wall street); but rather, you must make (produce) things (which function has long since been transferred overseas; and which bell cannot be unrung owing to insurmountable costs attendant to so doing, particularly in light of the nation’s insurmountable debt). The astute at zerohedge.com weigh in:

The Part-Time Economy (Redux)

While not shocking to most, the jump in temporary workers that we cited earlier is perhaps the biggest indicator of job 'quality' gains. As we discussed here last month, the US market economy remains mired in a low quality (“first-fired, first-hired categories rather than the type of core hiring that would build a stronger foundation for income growth,”  as FTN's Jim Vogel describes it) recovery. About 160k of private jobs added in Feb are 'low-paying work' which left average hourly earnings up only 0.1% (notes David Ader at CRT) - hardly the recipe for a sustainable recovery and perhaps the slow leak in stocks post the number is the rude awakening to that reality. As w enoted before, "not only is America slipping ever further into a state of permanent "temp job" status, but that a "quality analysis" of the jobs created shows that the US job formation machinery is badly hurt, and just like the marginal utility of debt now hitting a critical inflection point, so the "marginal utility" of incremental jobs is now negative"

 U.S. adds 227,000 jobs; rate remains at 8.3%Employers in February completed three of the best months of hiring since the recession began. The Labor Department says the unemployment rate stayed at 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years. Wonkbook: Why a rising unemployment rate could mean a real recovery (Washington Post) [ I haven’t read the Wonkbook article because I’m sure from the headline it’s going to be total b***s***!

A rising unemployment rate could mean a real recovery because: *people are re-entering the workforce/job search *people are so encouraged by the economic resurgence that they are re-entering the workplace/searches for work *fewer people are dropping out of the work force *the labor participation rate is increasing because things are just dandy ….. Now I’m going to check before posting to the main article – # ‘many of the long-term unemployed never made it back into the labor force, and that the economy is producing less than it otherwise could’ #’ ... the labor force participation rate - the percentage of Americans working or looking to work - has declined to its lowest level since the 1980s. The strengthening recovery has reignited a long-running debate about how many of those workers will come back’ # ‘catch-up growth in the labor market, that may push back the return of full employment, and it may even temporarily increase the unemployment rate, but it will mean we’re seeing a fuller recovery’. I wouldn’t buy the aforesaid b***s*** even if it wasn’t an election year; but certainly, in light of the abounding desperation, don’t buy the b.s. in this election year.

Milbank: GOP ignores facts on gas prices (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout a dose of reality, Mr. ‘wobama apologist’ Milbank. How ‘bout the Dems and the GOP ignore the facts on oil / gas prices. Ultimately, no matter what the other exacerbating externals (Mideast strife, much of which is u.s./israeli/west initiated), this was inevitable owing to the insurmountable debt levels and the excessive over-printing and debasement of fiat paper currencies to obfuscate. That was always bad policy, bad sense; a bi-partisan phenomena.

The Bears Explain The Price Of Gas (Special GOP Primary Edition)In their own inimitable manner, the two bears are back to take on gas prices. Dismissing the higher demand thesis, concerns of the lack of supply, instability in the Middle East, and of course speculators (the same ones who were blamed for financial stocks' deterioration), our favorite speakers-of-the-truth point to what is the only relevant factor - the falling dollar. The Bernank once again stars for his schizophrenic perspective of asset price rises.

 

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

 

U.S. seeks clues in Syrian money trail The struggle to make sense of the transactions involving millions of dollars in foreign accounts by elites with ties to Assad underscores the degree to which many aspects of the uprising in Syria remain opaque to outside observers.

Whether it’s the 360 tons of $100 bills of taxpayer funds that just disappeared in Iraq, or the proceeds of the resurgent heroin trade in Afghanistan made possible by another illegal, unnecessary war, or the cash out of the wall street frauds in the trillions made possible by FASB rule change now marking worthless paper to anything (still there, frauds still extant, despite promises still unprosecuted), campaign quid pro quo protection, and on and on. Yes, indeed follow the money; though, without a doubt, don’t hold your breath for disclosure / exposure once followed / found. This nation is pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, has engaged in war crimes violative of international law,  Geneva Conventions, and they’re worrying about money trails to a foreign nation of no threat to this nation in what is now viewed as a u.s./israeli/west attempt to destabilize and foment civil war in said nation.

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At   http://endoftheamericandream.com ‘Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.

#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.

#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year - the most in the world.

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#7 The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#9 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

#10 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far.

#11 There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.

#12 The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the world.

#13 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.

#14 The United States has the most lawyers per capita in the entire world.

#15 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#16 Americans take more prescription drugs than anyone else in the world.

#17 More is spent on prescription drug advertising in America than anywhere else in the world.

#18 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.

#19 More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

#20 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire globe.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#22 There is more mortgage debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#25 U.S. citizens spend more time in school than anyone else in the world.  So why are so many of us dumb as a rock?

#26 Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

#27 The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

#28 According to nationmaster.com, the United States has the most total reported crimes in the world by far.

#29 Nobody has more airport security thugs groping women and children than America does.

#30 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.’

But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Officials Rule No Payout on Greek Swaps Mar 1st, 2012 (NY Times) — The International Swaps and Derivatives Association said on Thursday that based on current evidence the Greek bailout would not prompt payments on the credit default swaps. { PG View  [ Peter Grant is USAGOLD's resident economist and a well-known analyst globally in the forex and precious metals markets ]  : This comes as no surprise as the ISDA was rightfully worried that the writers of such swaps wouldn’t be able to pay anyway; which likely would have required further bailouts for global financial institutions. The take-away though, is that CDSs on sovereigns aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on…} But the organization warned that the situation in Greece was “still evolving” and such payouts might be necessary in the future “as further facts come to light.”In the midst of the Greek drama, credit-default swaps, financial instruments intended to protect against losses on debt, have been a point of concern.As part of restructuring, bondholders will be required to take a 70 percent loss on their holdings.

Yes, that illegal drug’s something within the bailiwick of what america’s all about and knows about. Burning books? Well, Hitler did it. Winning hearts and minds; the meaningfully lawless, pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt americans.   Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. Natural News February 1, 2012  [  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  
http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

 

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holding their breath.

Super-PAC donors act as GOP kingmakers  A rarefied group of millionaires and billionaires is acting as kingmakers in the Republican presidential contest, often helping to decide, with a simple transfer of money, which candidate might survive another day in race. (Washington Post) [ Let’s not limit this ‘oligarchy in action’ scenario to the republicans. After all, it took some scrutiny from across the sea to ferret out early on a similar scenario regarding ‘the man of the people’, ‘the man of change’ (NOT on both counts) wobama the b for b***s***; viz., David Icke,  Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine ..

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Second, even assuming, arguendo, the absence of the foregoing insurmountable burden / obstacle, there simply is not enough capital in the world to retransition what’s been decades in the making overseas with modern plants and equipment there, now here, much less being profitable to do so. Too little, too late for wobama the b for b***s*** whose actions have consistently belied his words, and who has literally further insurmountably bankrupted the nation with excessively costly and uneconomic window-dressed numbers.

That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  1. Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

Putin unleashes wave of anti-American sentiment ahead of March elections Can U.S.-Russian relations withstand damage from attacks that have gotten more aggressive? (Washington Post) [ One can hardly expect a great leader of a great nation as Russia (yes, it is President Putin) to roll over and bend over for a pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless nation as america surely is. The question always boils down to the ultimate cost of better relations with the u.s.. For indigenous populations and foreign nations that have tested the waters of ‘better relations with america’, the outcomes have been fatal (Iraq, Libya, etc., to name a recent few). I personally am constrained to sound and be accused of being ‘anti-american’ (not really, but by their spin certainly) by standing for my rights in property and constitutionally and resisting the costly corruption by the lawless oligarchs presiding over america’s declining / falling destiny today. The vast majority of americans this day are being irrevocably screwed by the u.s. government which is for the sake of current obfuscation bankrupting all in futurity. The corruption is real in america, at the highest levels of all branches of the u.s. government, and I’ve seen this first hand.

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

The U.S.-Israel trust gap on Iran (Washington Post) [ ‘…We continue to believe that military action against Iran, by Israel or the United States, is not yet necessary or wise. U.S. and Israeli officials share an assessment that, though Iran is building up nuclear capability, it has not taken decisive steps toward building a bomb. In the meantime, the pressures on its leadership — from sanctions, sabotage, the disarray of allies such as Syria and domestic discontent — are growing. The best strategy for now is to fan those flames, which could cause the regime to retreat or even to fall. On that, we agree with the Obama administration…’. Wow! It surely is the drinking water in dc! ‘fan those flames’ says the editorial board; acts of war of themselves and prelude to the false flag op based upon israeli interest and their usual paranoia by projection of their own misdeeds, ill will, greed and malevolence in the region, including possession of illegal nukes and throwing their weight around in the region as if they do. The editorial board once again disappoints with a ‘not quite’ assessment of the realities regarding israel’s militant, intransigent presence in the region while looking askance with blinders at the real provocateurs in the region; viz., israel, america, and to a lesser extent to all their detriment, the west generally.

Then again, could this be a rhetorical way of criticizing the GOP in favor of the Dems or a legitimate heads up so as to preclude the GOP from shooting themselves in the foot. I know not nor care not; the context is the key. Indeed, federal judiciary? Like most things american, the federal courts are rife with corruption. Since when should politics trump (includes corrupt judge maryanne trump barry, and shiff, matz, etc. ) judicial integrity and experience? Answer: since america beyond the propaganda is what inherently criminal, pervasively corrupt defacto is what america truly is and has been.

But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

Eisenhower Memorial misses the man (Washington Post) [ Great to see Mr. Will back to form. Indeed it is true, needed to be said out loud, and Mr. Will has said it. President General Eisenhower was a great man, a great president, and certainly the most underrated on both scores. A man of deeds, action and not just words (not a b***s*** artist), he invariably had the courage to do what history has invariably proven right; and, had the rare courage to warn in futurity of the dangers inherent to the military industrial complex which have plagued this nation since. While it is true that no memorial can mark the measure of this great man of modern times, it is also true they must try harder. After all, without a doubt, they surely have ‘nothing better to do’.

The reference to alleged culpability regarding the ‘attempted’ revenge (and the notion of revenge is important and acknowledges what all know is israel culpability regard the assassination of the subject Iranians) killings of israeli dips which have been described by some as false flag attempts to rally  support for invading Iran.

Scandal: Greece To Receive "Negative" Cash From "Second Bailout" As It Funds Insolvent European BanksEarlier today, we learned the first stunner of the Greek "bailout package", which courtesy of some convoluted transmission mechanisms would result in some, potentially quite many, Greek workers actually paying to retain their jobs: i.e., negative salaries. Now, having looked at the Eurogroup's statement on the Greek bailout, we find another very creative use of "negative" numbers. And by creative we mean absolutely shocking and scandalous. First, as a reminder, even before the current bailout mechanism was in place, Greece barely saw 20% of any actual funding, with the bulk of the money going to European and Greek banks (of which the former ultimately also ended up funding the ECB and thus European banks). Furthermore, we already know that as part of the latest set of conditions of the second Greek bailout, an 'Escrow Account" would be established: this is simply a means for Greek creditors to have a senior claims over any "bailout" cash that is actually disbursed for things such as, you know, a Greek bailout, where the money actually trickles down where it is most needed - the Greek citizens. Here is where it just got surreal. It turns out that not only will Greece not see a single penny from the Second Greek bailout, whose entire Use of Proceeds will be limited to funding debt interest and maturity payments, but the country will actually have to fund said escrow! You read that right: the Greek bailout #2 is nothing but a Greek-funded bailout of Europe's insolvent banks... and the Greek constitution is about to be changed to reflect this!

This has taken the Purchase Application index back to the September lows, which just happens to be the lowest print in 16 years. And while this in itself would be ok if not exactly good, it took place at a time when the 30 year mortgage rate was down to all time record lows! In other words, Bernanke's sole prescription to fix the broken housing market diagnosis - low mortgage rates, has now been proven to be a complete disaster, even as Obama does everything in his power to get debt repudiation for deadbeats (at the expense of everyone else of course) and fails.

 http://albertpeia.com/16reasonswhyonlyfoolssupportswaragainstIran.htm

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  1. The U.S. has been claiming for more than 30 years that Iran was on the verge of nuclear capability
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

National debt will likely swell under top GOP hopefuls’ plans, report shows Analysis finds Ron Paul’s tax plan is the exception and would slice about $2 trillion from future borrowing. (Washington Post) [ Nothing could match the swelling seen under wobama the b for b***s***, particularly while in ‘election year mode’. At this point, who’s counting? Swelling indeed! The nation’s now one big hematoma of insurmountable debt!  The growing deficit? It’s not as bad as it looks. Modern Monetary Theory, which asserts that budget shortfalls are actually good for the economy, is gaining popularity. If accepted by policymakers, this unorthodox take on financial strategy could affect everything from job creation to the price of goods to the tax code. (Washington Post) [ Not as bad as it looks? Yeah! It’s worse! When I saw this headline juxtapsed with Dylan, immediately apropo to the moment was ‘Blowin’ (in the) Wind’ by Bob Dylan. How totally preposterous; not that it is totally unexpected that such spin, defense of the indefensible is inevitible inasmuch as, prudent or not, like it or not, that’s the way it is in a very big way.

But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

Israeli leaders: Iran must be stopped soon  One of the bluntest warnings to date of possible airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites adds to the anxiety in Western capitals that a surprise attack could spark a broader military conflict in the Middle East. 900+ comments: ‘They better be prepared to fight the war on their own’  (Washington Post) [ Much like the illegal, misguided war in Iraq based upon lies amidst the clamoring bloodthirst of zionist neocons and israel alike, the Iraq debacle pleased the aforesaid immensely while costing this nation immeasurably in terms of blood (beyond the dead, over a $trillion yet to come in long-term health costs for injured troops), treasure, and geopolitical standing/credibility. Somewhat fresh off a humiliating shellackin’ at the hands of Hezbollah, the mid-east provocateur israel then constrained to be bully to the captive, down-trodden Palestinians / Gazans has a panoply of reasons for their fears of blowback for their misdeeds, illegal nukes being among them. Yet, their fears / paranoia in no way coincide with the interests of the rest of the world, not that they care one bit, greedy / self-interested as they invariably are. Those murdered scientists? Yeah, karma’s a b**ch when you know you’ve something to look forward to when you know you’ve done something so sinister so as not to want to ‘pay the piper’ therefore! Quite simply, israel’s problems are of their own making, troublesome for the world only to the extent they try to make their problem seem to be and then the world’s problem, and likely will create more problems by their own transgressions than any of those possibly imagined by the paranoid war criminal israelis. US Joint Chiefs Gen. Dempsey draws a line between Israel and US, over Iran LaRouche PAC | Top ranking US General states that US policies on Iran are not in line with US interests  , In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States! ,    Panetta: Israel must negotiate with Palestine (Washington Post) [ Seems we’ve heard that song before. How can anyone, including the israelis, take him seriously when the whole world knows that if he really meant it, the same would be done in a ‘new york minute’. After all, client state israel, ultimately the source of substantially all america’s gargantuan geopolitical (and increasingly economic) problems, really has no real choice but to obey. The great but underrated President General Eisenhower who admonished about the military industrial complex would never sacrifice as now american interests for the sake of israel.

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public viewThe CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list …’     



Romney: It 'makes absolutely no sense' (Washington Post) [ I realize this is an election year; and, certainly since the coup d’etat by way of the assassination of JFK, the military industrial complex / military establishment / pentagon’s prior ‘approval’ for such pronouncements, more than just a perfunctory nod, token heads up. What makes no sense is pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america’s ever increasingly insurmountable debt burden which will take the nation down faster than any purported foreign enemy. Actually, I believe the increased scrutiny has revealed america’s heroin trade there does not come close to justifying the costs (except for ‘those few’).  What made no sense in the broader sense was ‘being there’ in the first place. They’re just no threat to america and yet ‘being there’ a substantial provocation sufficient to make them so. Indeed, that a war mongering, zionist, neocon mental case like john bolton has endorsed Romney is certainly, if taken seriously along with the implications,  a credible foreboding of further bad times for america to come thereby.

Proposed bill would target outsourcing Lawmakers introduce bill requiring companies to say how many jobs they send outside the U.S.  (Washington Post) [ Target outsourcing? Inasmuch as these ‘legislators’ along with their crony pseudo capitalists on wall street, etc., have created the environment for this ubiquitous ‘phenomenon’, I’d ordinarily be predisposed to opposing such targeting. Yet, in light of the pervasive corporate welfare more typical than not, I believe the disclosure to be important, if only to allow taxpayers funding the corporate welfare to have input in and potentially avoid a scenario whereby they are in essence paying for / subsidizing said outsourced jobs. If no corporate welfare, then there should be no government intrusion since from a practical business perspective, much like retooling, such realities cannot be ‘favorably built nor torn down in a day.’ http://www.albertpeia.com/50economicnumbersofuscollapse.htm   http://www.albertpeia.com/47signschinadestroyingamericaoneconomicstage.htm    http://www.albertpeia.com/30statsmidclassdying.htm     30 STATISTICS THAT SHOW THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS IS DYING RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES AS WE ENTER 2012

Contrary to Mr. Milbank’s among others’ ‘egalitarian protestations’, ‘size matters’.

Besides, says newty, ‘kids, they comb their hair in that funny way’.  Riiiiight, snooty newty, there’s those ‘janitorial jobs’ for which there are even waiting lists of applicants for even those jobs according to reports. Say anything, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! As per wobama, words are cheap; but as we all now know, ultimately very costly when they’re more rhetoric / b***s*** than truth / reality!  Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail.

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Romney, Gingrich clash sharply in debate The former Massachusetts governor attacked the former House speaker as a failed leader, a K Street influence peddler and a candidate who would put the party at risk in the general election.

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

He had to be joking, right?

Sadly, he was not joking.

But it is not just Barack Obama.  The truth is that both political parties are absolutely littered with con men, charlatans and corrupt politicians…’ Getting Worse: 40 Undeniable Pieces Of Evidence That Show That America Is In Decline The Economic Collapse | Is America in decline? That is a very provocative question. The Economic Collapse December 21, 2011

Is America in decline?  That is a very provocative question.  I have found that most people that hate the United States are very eager to agree that America is in decline, while a lot of those that love the United States are very hesitant to admit that America is in decline.  Well, I am proud to be an American, but I cannot lie and tell you that America is doing just fine.  The pieces of evidence compiled below are undeniable.  Our economy is deathly ill and is rapidly getting worse.  We were handed the keys to the greatest economic machine in the history of the world and we have wrecked it.  But until we are willing to look in the mirror and admit how bad things have gotten, we wont be ready for the solutions that are necessary.  The truth is that there are things that we can do to reverse the decline.  It does not have to be permanent.  We have gotten away from the things that made America great, and we need to admit that we are on the wrong path and start fixing this country.  But if we choose to continue down the road that we are currently on, it will lead us into the darkest chapters in American history.

The following are 40 undeniable pieces of evidence that show that America is in decline.

#1 Back in 1985, 11 million vehicles were sold in America.  In 2009, only 5.4 million vehicles were sold in America.

#2 In 1990, the median age of a vehicle in the United States was just 6.5 years.  Today, the median age of a vehicle in the United States is approximately 10 years.

#3 The average price of a gallon of gasoline in 2011 has been $3.50.  That is a new all-time record.  The previous record was $3.24 in 2008.

#4 The average American household will have spent an astounding $4,155 on gasoline by the time the year is over.

#5 The number of children in the United States without a permanent home has increased by 38 percent since 2007.

#6 A decade ago, the United States was ranked number one in average wealth per adult.  By 2010, the United States had fallen to seventh.

#7 The U.S. tax code is now more than 50,000 pages longer than it used to be.

#8 American 15-year-olds do not even rank in the top half of all advanced nations when it comes to math or science literacy.

#9 The United States once had the highest proportion of young adults with post-secondary degrees in the world.  Today, the U.S. has fallen to 12th.

#10 After adjusting for inflation, U.S. college students are borrowing about twice as much money as they did a decade ago.

#11 The student loan default rate has nearly doubled since 2005.

#12 Our economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for our college graduates.  The percentage of mail carriers with a college degree is now 4 times higher than it was back in 1970.

#13 Our infrastructure was once the envy of the world.  Today, U.S. infrastructure is ranked 23rd.

#14 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.

#15 Since the year 2000, incomes for U.S. households led by someone between the ages of 25 and 34 have fallen by about 12 percent after you adjust for inflation.

#16 According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, America has lost an average of 15 manufacturing facilities a day over the last 10 years.  During 2010 it got even worse.  Last year, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States.

#17 In all, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have shut down since 2001.

#18 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.

#19 Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry was actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.

#20 In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of all U.S. economic output.  In 2008, it represented only 11.5 percent.

#21 The television manufacturing industry began in the United States.  So how many televisions are manufactured in the United States today?  According to Princeton University economist Alan S. Blinder, the grand total is zero.

#22 The U.S. trade deficit with China in 2010 was 27 times larger than it was back in 1990.

#23 The Economic Policy Institute says that since 2001 America has lost approximately 2.8 million jobs due to our trade deficit with China alone.

#24 According to one study, between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation.

#25 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

#26 The size of the economy in India is projected to surpass the size of the U.S. economy by the year 2050.

#27 One prominent economist believes that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040.

#28 In 2001, the United States ranked fourth in the world in per capita broadband Internet use.  Today it ranks 15th.

#29 Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty.  Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

#30 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans dropped into poverty.  That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

#31 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 6.7% of all Americans are living in extreme poverty, and that is the highest level that has ever been recorded before.

#32 The percentage of children living in poverty in the United States increased from 16.9 percent in 2006 to nearly 22 percent in 2010.  In the UK and in France the child poverty rate is well under 10 percent.

#33 As I wrote about the other day, since 2007 the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

#34 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits.  Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#35 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#36 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent.

#37 Today, the too big to fail banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

#38 Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lostover 95 percent of its purchasing power.

#39 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

#40 The U.S. national debt is now nearly 15 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.

Sadly, most Americans are not fired up about turning this country around.  Way too many of them realize that things are getting worse, but they have checked out and are just going through the motions of life.

A perfect example is posted below.  In this video, a FedEx delivery guy just chucks a computer monitor over somebodys fence…Can you believe he did that?

The sad thing is that the guy was actually home at the time and all the FedEx employee needed to do was ring the bell.

This is the kind of attitude that is killing America.

We all need to start caring again.  We all need to start taking pride in what we do.  We all need to start working hard again.  We all need to make sure that we are living with a sense of personal integrity.

When a nation simply does not care anymore, even a con man can become president.

During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency.

The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln just in terms of what weve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

He had to be joking, right?

Sadly, he was not joking.

But it is not just Barack Obama.  The truth is that both political parties are absolutely littered with con men, charlatans and corrupt politicians.

It is going to be up to the American people to get educated about how bad things have really gotten, to start demanding solutions, and to start voting much better people into positions of authority.

If dramatic changes are not made, our economy will continue to get worse and the decline of America will continue to accelerate.

We cannot stay on this road my friends.

It is only going to lead to a total nightmare.

Please share this information as widely as possible, and please try to wake up as many of your fellow Americans as you can while there is still time.’

 

 

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off…

After all these deductions were counted both companies could then report slightly positive earnings in lieu of losses: BAC $25 (stock slightly lower by 1.60%) and MS $.71 (stock higher by 2.25%).Economic data released Thursday began with Jobless Claims (388K vs expected 365K and prior revised higher to 386K from 380K) which allowed for another beat, however the overall trend is heading south. Existing Home Sales (4.4M vs 4.62M expected and prior 4.59M) was a mild disappointment but completed the week unimpressively for all housing data. The important Philly Fed Survey (8.5 vs 12 expected and prior 12.5) was a disappointment as well reflecting an ongoing economic slowdown.

Albert Edwards takes the 'massive over-confidence in the ability of the Chinese authorities to achieve a soft landing' to task and furthermore indicates that between a rapidly diminishing current account surplus, a real effective exchange rate that is arguably (thank you IMF) not undervalued anymore, and the velocity with which nominal GDP has slowed recently (akin to 2007), the very fact that they widened the trading band suggests it is now a lot easier for them to achieve significant devaluation of their currency (to escape the hard landing) both technically and politically. Since widening the band, the PBOC has already devalued two days-in-a-row.

If nothing else, it explains the recent WSJ hit piece against Egan, just so it can make the public record in the SEC documentation. In other news, this will surely teach any other rating agency to downgrade the US not once (ahead of everyone else), but twice. In the meantime, the SEC still has NO IDEA what liquidity is, and continues to refuse to take ANY action against High Frequency Trading, to press criminal charges against ANY banker, or for that matter, to do anything that may jeopardize its staffers future careers as 7th assistant general council at assorted bailed out Wall Street firms.

Sure enough, all missed, since we are now in NEW QE prep mode.

  • Philly Fed: 8.5, missed expectations of 12.0, and lower than the previous print of 12.5 (source)
    1. New Orders down from 3.3, to 2.7
    2. Prices Paid spike from 18.7 to 22.5,
    3. but, just to add confusion to injury following the much weaker claims data, the Employment index rose from 6.8 to 17.9
  • Existing home sales, reported by the inherently conflicted NAR, missed, dropping from 4.61MM to 4.48MM, a data set which we caution readers is about 0.0% accurate and valid.
    1. Total housing inventory at the end of February rose 4.3 percent to 2.43 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 6.4-month
    2. The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $156,600 in February, up 0.3 percent from February 2011.
    3. All-cash sales rose to 33 percent of transactions in February from 31 percent in January; they were 33 percent in February 2011
    4. Single-family home sales declined 1.0 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million in February from 4.10 million in January
  • Finally, Eurozone consumer confidence also missed sliding to -19.8, on expectation of an improvement to -19.0 from -19.1

Judging by the kneejerk reaction lower, the misses were not big enough to send the market soaring.’

Meyerson: Reviving the middle class (Washington Post) [ There you go, Mr. Meyerson. Time to call scientologist Tom Cruise for the next installment of ‘Mission Impossible’. Guest Post: Why the Middle Class Is Doomed The Federal government is supporting its dependents and its crony-capitalist Elites with borrowed money: $1.5 trillion every year, fully 40% of the Federal budget. It is in effect filling the gap between exploding costs and declining income, just like the middle class did until they ran out of collateral to leverage. The dwindling middle class, now at best perhaps 25% of the workforce, has been reduced to tax donkeys supporting those above and below who are dependent on Federal largesse. Fisher found that this cycle ends in transformational political upheaval. No wonder; even as the class paying most of the taxes shrinks and is pressured by higher costs, the class of dependents expands as the economy deteriorates and the super-wealthy Power Elites continue to control the levers of Central State power. 25 Signs That Middle Class Families Have Been Targeted For Extinction  http://albertpeia.com/25signsmiddleclasstargetedforextinction.htm .

Will: Protecting true self-government (Washington Post) [ Oh come on Mr. Will. If anyone in america really cared about Constitution, true self-government, meaningful rules of law to protect same, etc., wobama would already have been impeached. http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ‘...North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

 

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution…’

How Bad Do Things Have to Be For the Fed AND the ECB to Talk of Easing… On the Same Day
http://albertpeia.com/gpcsaysthingsarereallythatbad.htm

 

Allan Sloan President Obama’s 2011 tax return looks more like a political document than a financial one. (Washington Post) [ Indeed, and it’s not surprising. The nation’s been savaged and ravaged by wobama’s so-called savvy political savagery. As a businessman who had structured his holdings to accommodate intense political activity, you don’t tell your accounting / tax experts to ‘take a dive’ for appearance sake. Rational is the word of the day, given the irrationality that’s landed america in as dire a predicament as the nation now finds itself. As an artful con-man and b***s***  artist, wobama’s already taken far more than deserved, none of which really worked for substantively, even as he followed his predecessor’s failed policies with some unaffordable extra profligate spending on top for obfuscation, contrary to virtually all the promises made on the campaign trail last time around. Keep in mind, while being fiscally prudent as Governor, though politically contraindicated he was compassionate as he deemed necessary for the benefit of the vast majority in his state which set up this grueling primary campaign in which he has clearly prevailed.  Wobama’s been neither fiscally prudent nor have his policies favored the vast majority. In fact, just the opposite is true of wobama who despite rhetoric and (broken) campaign promises, favored ie., the banksters, military industrial complex, etc.. Quite simply, wobama’s a fraud in the inducement and in the factum.

How about this legal document:

http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ‘...North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

 

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution…’

 

Milbank: GSA spending circus comes to a close (Washington Post) [ Yeah, the 5th amendment does wonders for abbreviated hearings … Yet, I can’t help but bring up that other boondoggle of 360 tons of $100 bills flown into Iraq that just ‘disappeared’ – into whose pockets / secret accounts; and, how can one overlook those bailouts for wall street, including the product of the extant frauds in the trillions in the form of worthless toxic paper/assets now marked to anything (these frauds on wall street remain unprosecuted for their prior crisis inducing huge fraud still extant with complicit legislative help in the form of FASB rule change enabling the toxic, worthless paper assets to be marked to anything they choose while cashing out good money for ‘the bad’)  Panetta regrets cost to taxpayers for weekend trips home to California Oh, yes; the pinyatta of the well run state of California is worth the extra dough; so valuable to america’s bankrupting (itself) efforts abroad which has the concomitant effect of making america, beyond bankrupt, a murderous global hate magnet. You can just picture those tears of regret. Time to make his life less tearful/regretful with a new administration.

We do the math.  (WP [ Well, the one math you didn’t do, and the one most important tax Mitt Romney forgot to mention, is the inflation tax courtesy of wobama’s increase in the nation’s deficit in an amount greater than all the nation’s previous presidents since President General Eisenhower combined.

Robinson: Which Mitt will we get?  (Washington Post) [ I think the more important and less speculative question is which con-man obama do we have? Indeed, there is no speculating about the fact that wobama the b for b***s*** is without exception, a completely different obama from that personified by the campaign promises and rhetoric last time around. In fact, except for profligate spending on top of the already unbalanced fiscal approach of dumbya bush to obfuscate his abject failure as president, wobama’s continued dumbya’s failed policies to a ‘t’. Oh sure, you’ll get some of the ‘same old  song’ from wobama with the election drawing nye; nothing of which is even remotely within the possibility of passage, but, as last time around, it sounds good on the campaign trail. If anything, praise Mitt for giving Wobama a heads-up by informing him to ‘start packing’. I thought that was the nice Mitt; and, truth be told, that’s not typical wobama b***s***! Keep in mind, while being fiscally prudent as Governor; though politically contraindicated he was compassionate as he deemed necessary for the benefit of the vast majority in his state which set up this grueling primary campaign in which he has clearly prevailed.  Just the opposite is true of wobama who despite rhetoric and (broken) campaign promises, favored ie., the banksters, military industrial complex, etc..

Obama, Romney and the ultra-rich The candidates’ tax plans would have vastly different outcomes for the wealthy, offering a window into their disparate economic views. (Washington Post) [ Disparate economic views? For wobama, that’s as ephemeral as an election cycle measured in months; after which, anything goes regardless of campaign promises, as we’ve regretfully witnessed in wobama the b for b***s*** to the nation’s profound detriment. After all, wobama has essentially continued, fatal foibles and all, virtually all the policies of dumbya bush, and added even greater obfuscating spending on top of that leaving the nation with an insurmountable debt load and defacto bankruptcy (America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’).

China’s economic growth slows Data could spook investors and prolong fears of a potential hard landing for Chinese economy. [ Could? If only it was could and not will; and, in fact it did, and for good reason. [Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  POOR CHINA & EURO NEWS SURFACE 4-13-12  ‘On some occasions you see equities in a slow death spiral supported invariably by ZIRP and QE. It’s not a new experience for markets since we’ve had both factors dominating markets over the past three years. When the punchbowl is removed we move sharply lower as this seems to be the only support available. Stocks sell-off on sharply higher volume from both the public and insiders. Poor economic data (Jobless Claims) then drives Fed governors to the speaking circuit with hints of QE and further stimulus as Dudley and Yellen did Thursday, and markets rally. Wash, rinse and repeat. Thursday also featured the “rumor” that Friday’s China’s GDP data would exceed 9% rather than show contraction. This helped Thursday’s rally but then bulls met reality when the number was only 8.1%.

(WP) [ This is more than just GOP spin although the wobama spinmeisters would like you to believe otherwise. It was a typical cheap shot meant to draw contrasts with such as hillary clinton, michelle obama (see infra) which is specious and foolhardy since on close inspection and analysis, such scrutiny favors the honorable Ann Romney as it does hardworking housewives, mothers everywhere. To coin a new phrase: ‘Housewife/Mother, the Oldest HONORABLE Profession in the World’! Though too early to congratulate the new President (as a matter of courtesy to Ron Paul who is starting to look foolish, even leading some to wonder about the soundness of his positions owing to his age), I disagree that this will be a close election which I believe will be a blowout. Why? Because this is truly an existential moment for other than wobama’s ‘black voting (for b.o. no matter what) block’ and the nation as we once knew it and as well because of those legal / factual bases upon which the sound call for wobama’s impeachment is predicated,  http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm ; in addition to the reality that wobama’s failed miserably having been given the chance to do what he said he would do but didn’t, which if he did do would have been the right course as we well now know!

Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money.

Krauthammer: Free-lunch egalitarianism (Washington Post) [ This is an extremely important article by Mr. Krauthammer; and, I would only add that the same rationale of ‘no free lunch’ applies to the fed’s / administration’s obfuscating policies including but not limited to the wall street welfare in the form of QE’s, ZIRP, etc., which not only are paid for by way of higher prices through dollar debasement, viz., inflation, but as well, the displacement of capital that’s occurred, also to the benefit of wall street only. This should be obvious to everyone here as well as in Europe/worldwide where such misguided policies have failed miserably as we’ve all seen. Then there’s the frauds in the trillion’s and until those filthy rich frauds on wall street among others (everyone knows who they are) are prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed, not a cent in taxes for all the rich (their compatriots, oligarchs with relatively few exceptions) nor a even a penny in programs should be cut. Unfortunately, it’s those corrupt, greedy rich oligarchs who have had their way in bringing the nation down through misdirected policy influence (ie., wars/military industrial complex, etc.), protection of huge frauds still extant (marked to anything courtesy of contraindicated legislated FASB rule change), etc. (a list too long for this comment). The time has come for all people in and outside of this nation to embrace this foregoing reality, truth. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

 



Obamas’ 2011 tax returns: $790K in earnings, $162K in federal income tax The earnings represent a big drop from the $1.7 million that the first family reported in 2010.

The wobama’s are just a pair of lying, jive-talking, cons who’ve played the nation and got to go. Moreover, there are growing, resounding fact/law based calls for obama’s impeachment http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm    Pundit says Ann Romney ‘never worked a day in her life.’ She disagrees. Republican front-runner’s wife opens Twitter account to respond to Democratic pundit’s remarks.  (Washington Post) [ I also disagree! Drudgereport: 'SHE HAS NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HER LIFE'  So what! Five boys raised properly, housewife to a successful husband, I’d call that a full-time job to be praised and emulated! I’d also say her composure reveals an individual secure enough to do what was best, optimal for her family. It certainly had a salutary effect on Mitt Romney’s earning capacity! Would it have been preferable for her to have been a working wife as michelle obama to con-man, sometime gayster obama who was about to be disbarred when she surrendered her law license; or, hilarious hillary clinton who conducted séances on the roof of the whitehouse purportedly with Eleanor Roosevelt? I think Ann Romney will be a great first lady who won’t as  moochell obama try to squeeze out every penny of tax-payer funding she can as has moochell in ie., her (their) over-traveled/vacationed position(s).

Initial Jobless Claims Soar Past Expectations, Hit 380K, Highest Since January

So much for the endless string of "Jobless Claims in US fall to lowest since 2008" propaganda. First of all, just as we predict every week with 100% accuracy, last week's "decline" from a revised 363K to 357K was revised, and instead it surged from 357K to a revised 367K. So much for the spin. More importantly, the current weekly claims number exploded to 380K, on expectations of 355K - the highest print since January, and the biggest claim miss in a year! And also just as predicted, the "economic weakness" period to butter up the country for the NEW QE begins. Don't be surprised as claims surge to close to 400K in the next few weeks in advance of an epic BLS miss next month, all to be blamed on the "warm weather", "Chinese new year", "Sumatra earthquake" and "Bush" of course, it never happens just because, in time for the FOMC's June meeting to set the stage for MBS LSAP, just as Bill Gross has been expecting all along.

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Robert Burt: Should God be obeyed? (Washington Post) [ The ‘politically correct’ answer is of course, ‘Of Course’. But, of course, saying so won’t change the fact that they won’t. The grim reality for this planet which boasts a dominant species descended from initially notochords, primitive chordates, and relatively more recently primitive apes, is that at this point, it really no longer matters.

What Sarah Palin's "Today Show" appearance proves (Washington Post) [ More than anything else, it proves that ‘dumb’ sells in america. ‘You know it when you see it’ (supreme court obscenity test of old) kind of dumb that’s funny because it’s ‘you can’t make this stuff up’ kind of dumb/funny. Sweet sister sarah, hypocrite extraordinaire with closet skeletons to spare, we gotta’ at least wonder whether Alan West whom she ‘endorsed’/recommended for the VP nod had been one of her black lovers. Of course, that would in fact be stupid because wobama will get near 100% of the black vote for no reason other than the fact that he’s black. But who’s listening to pickled-brain palin who has no credibility in reality whatsoever but provides great source material for comedy as SNL of which she’s quite proud, media hound that she is and as the article points out.

 

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



New Black Panthers Call for Vigilante Justice in Trayvon Martin Case Kurt Nimmo | “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” declares Mikhail Muhammad, leader of the group.

 

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss. Nah! Somehow I can’t picture Mr. Milbank on any sports field, much less a baseball field. Then I thought, maybe a story of pet dog puppymill banks that have been getting some press of late. Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

 

Intelligence officials retain citizens’ data longer Justice Dept. approves new guidelines allowing counterterrorism agencies to keep information about U.S. residents for up to five years, even if those residents have no known connection to terrorism. ‘Drip by drip our freedoms are vanishing’ (Washington Post) [ Indeed, this is true; but, hardly unprecedented in failing, falling, regimes, nations, empires. Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

NSA Boss Says Agency Does Not Monitor Your Email Kurt Nimmo | Another government bureaucrat takes us for idiots. [ Yes indeed, quite laughable.

Regardless of machinations, the fact is they do and that’s not all they monitor; enter their cozy deal with google (I still use google almost exclusively for my web search as a matter of disclosure here). Moreover, phones (wireless and landlines, computer and digital television transmissions/views), and I also believe digital / wire financial transactions / transmissions are monitored. Echelon goes way back to the 70’s and one would be foolish to think their ‘mining’ has slowed or regressed; not that they and those whom they serve know what prudently to do with such info. http://pubrecord.org/nation/2290/revisiting-echelon-nsas  .

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

 

Obama Administration Tries To Shut Down Rush Limbaugh

Paul Joseph Watson | Media Matters is a White House front group. [ Though a frequent critic of neo-con Limbaugh, I’m against any and all attempts, particularly by desperate wobama et als to shut him down based on what he’s said. ]

McCain, Lieberman, Graham on Afghanistan (Washington Post) [ I say this without even a tinge of sarcasm and as serious as serious can be. If these guys had served during the administration of the last truly great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower, as cogs in the military industrial complex / zionists / neocons their political careers would have been over before he left office. The nation generally, and connecticut particularly should be thankful lieberman’s gone as his efforts, energies on behalf of israel have always been antithetical to the interests of both. These guys are war mongering losers and have played significant roles in bringing this nation down. (I’m not even going to get into their inapposite reference to the neo-con wet dream come true; that ‘pearl harbor’ incident they longed for, viz., 911, which served as hot-button blinders for the nation – there was advance knowledge of this op which was cheered by israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in weehawken, new jersey in full view of the imploding towers). The only area in which their admonitions ring even remotely true is as pertains to the opium/poppy/heroin trade which will continue under the auspices of the cia but without the muscle (military) necessary to sustain them long-term (see infra). Then there’s the indisputable and insurmountable defacto bankruptcy of the pervasively corrupt disunited states (note the video – 3 minutes which discusses interest costs on the debt  compared to the costs of the wars-understated and doesn’t figure in deaths of soldiers and prospective medical costs of the injured).

Paul Ryan’s dangerous budget Make no mistake: his intentionally vague plan envisions draconian cuts. (Washington Post) Editorial Board [ Truth be told, it’s really not all that often that I’m on the ‘same page’ as the Washington Post’s Editorial Board (and God knows have the utmost respect for this great Publishing Company / Newspaper and their historic defense of and respect for First Amendment, etc.) ; or, ie., Mr. Milbank, etc., who probably is on the opposite end of the political spectrum from me. Yet, I echo their concern / sentiment in commenting as follows: Ryan’s reverse Robin Hood His justification for his irresponsible budget only adds insult to injury. (Washington Post) [ I only wish Mr. Milbank hadn’t used the phrase, ‘Reverse Robin Hood’, inasmuch as this would be among those few times I’d be ‘all in’ in support of his position (which I am infra); but alas, that’s a phrase once used by the deplorable jesse jackson who is a shakedown artist with absolutely no credibility whatsoever. That said, my position is as stated in another WP comment as follows: With spending plan, House GOP renews budget clash with Obama  Proposal would cut social programs and slash taxes for the rich.  ‘Paul Ryan is a national hero’ (Washington Post) [ Hero? Indeed, in a nation of thieves; and, for such a nation of thieves, look no further than … pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. Yes, thieves, frauds; and, if america was just a nation of thieves, frauds and not the war mongering nation of murderers america’s proven herself to be, there might be at least some high ground upon which u.s. representatives could stand.  Until the filthy rich frauds on wall street among others (everyone knows who they are) are prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed, not a cent in taxes for all the rich (their compatriots, oligarchs with relatively few exceptions) nor a even a penny in programs should be cut. Unfortunately, it’s those corrupt, greedy rich oligarchs who have had their way in bringing the nation down through misdirected policy influence (ie., wars/military industrial complex, etc.), protection of huge frauds still extant (marked to anything courtesy of contraindicated legislated FASB rule change), etc. (a list too long for this comment). The time has come for all people in and outside of this nation to embrace this foregoing reality, truth. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

(America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA   ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related  ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html   ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan  [  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew  ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons.

Ron Paul: "I Think Sanctions Give Iran Motivation To Want A Nuclear Weapon"There are those who say that while they agree completely with Ron Paul's economic policy of fixing the #1 issue that ails America (as a reminder, total US debt/GDP would only decline under a Ron Paul presidency) they disagree with Paul on his foreign policy. We wonder why when all he does is instead of appealing to the jingoism of warmongers and patronizing the basest of herd instincts, he simply tells the truth. Such as on Today's State of the Union show on CNN when asked if Obama has done "enough" to force Iran to stop its nuclear development via sanctions and others, his reply was spot on: "I think he gets too much involved. I think sanctions gives the motivation for them to want a nuclear weapon. We have 45 bases around them, we can demolish them within hours. And the worst thing the sanctions do, and Republicans and Democrats both support it and the other GOP candidates want war even more, the whole thing is there is a lot of dissension in Iran and we should encourage it by not interfering, once we get involve and threaten to bomb them, it becomes nationalistic - everyone joins the Ayataollah and Ahmedinejad. So there is a blowback - unusual circumstances and unintended consequences. So yes, our people are well-intended, but they don't realize how much damage they do by not accomplishing what they want and causing more harm to us. So our military personnel right now are very adamant not to be involved in a bombing of Iran, it makes no sense whatsoever to our military personnel, to the CIA, even though they are much more interventionist than I am."

Would You Support an Iran War If … : George Washington : 02/22/2012

 http://albertpeia.com/16reasonswhyonlyfoolssupportswaragainstIran.htm

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

Is China already No. 1? (Washington Post) [ That may be so and for sound reasons. But, america will still be No.1 in the following areas if not in our hearts and minds.  USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At  http://albertpeia.com/40badthingsusabest.htm  

 

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At   http://endoftheamericandream.com ‘Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.

#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.

#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year - the most in the world.

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#7 The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#9 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

#10 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far.

#11 There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.

#12 The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the world.

#13 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.

#14 The United States has the most lawyers per capita in the entire world.

#15 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#16 Americans take more prescription drugs than anyone else in the world.

#17 More is spent on prescription drug advertising in America than anywhere else in the world.

#18 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.

#19 More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

#20 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire globe.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#22 There is more mortgage debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#25 U.S. citizens spend more time in school than anyone else in the world.  So why are so many of us dumb as a rock?

#26 Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

#27 The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

#28 According to nationmaster.com, the United States has the most total reported crimes in the world by far.

#29 Nobody has more airport security thugs groping women and children than America does.

#30 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.’

No longer sure about him? Indeed, if they listen to the western press among other ‘anti-Russia’ propaganda outlets / disseminators. Suffice it to say, much to the chagrin of america / israel / Russia’s enemies, whether knowingly or not, or just plain oblivious to the threat, by electing Putin, Russia has just dodged a major ‘bullet’ in a very big way! 3-15-12 There was mention of Russia’s intent regard a manned moon mission to which I respond to such if intended by the historically great nation of Russia: Bon voyage! Good luck! Godspeed!

Indeed, the u.s. led (much like that in the Mid-East, one way or another; ie., Iraq, Libya, etc.) efforts to unseat ‘The Great Vladimir Putin’ have failed (believe me, they are seething with envy and resentment for Russia’s good fortune prospectively), which is a testament to the intelligence and survival instincts of an historically great nation that has stood the test of time. Yet, I truly believe there are those in Russia herself who quite foolishly fail to see and appreciate this reality and the formerly substantial but still extant threat from without. Moreover, I further posite that almost without exception there’s substantial  fraud / skullduggery in virtually every venue at every level, municipal, state, federal of near every american election (coincidentally, on the tv news ‘shock’ was reported that some local official would receive $272,000 equivalent pension for life, exceeding even the outrageously high salary of that worker – as in every crime, the motive, local, state, federal).

Five myths about Vladi­mir Putin (Washington Post) [ Much like many of problems globally, from strife to economic / financial fraud / instability, the myths are of particularly american and western origin; and, a consequence of their seething envy of and resentment toward this talented, great leader of an historically great nation.

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holdiong their breath.

The Fix : 2012 Republicans kiss Trump's ring  2012 Republicans are kissing Donald Trump’s ring. But why? Aaron Blake (Washington Post) [ Why indeed! Yet, it would be amazing if only it wasn’t a testament to america’s unmistakable, ineluctable decline and fall by virtually every criterion by which a nation/state is measured. My direct personal experience, with extremely few exceptions,  is that there’s very little difference between the u.s. government and organized crime. That’s reality, not hopium!

Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever. [ website archived links http://albertpeia.com/uscocainedistributionfiles.htm  ) ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

 

Trump to moderate GOP debate This won’t end well. (Washington Post) [ Goes without saying… of all people to choose … Why not Jerry Springer?… ‘Non-celebrity Apprentice’, the new reality show, as in who scratches whose back for favors down the road, as in quid pro quo, as in trump’s continued ‘graduation’ from commonly mob connected, to new york/new jersey politically sordid sinkholes, to now failed washingtonian … ‘establishment’? Hasn’t trump’s rise coincided with the nation’s decline / demise?

Romney’s money problem His nomination may be near, but his routine is getting a bit rich. (Washington Post) [ Yet another of those ‘aw come on wobama lover Mr. Milbank moments’. I mean really. Wobama’s are as ‘rich’, and disingenuous at best to say otherwise, and his routine, namely b***s***, is past ‘getting old’. After all, wobama can’t run on his clear record of failure as bush failure 3 with what turns out as before, b***s*** alone. The problem is that there’s nothing that can be said of the republican offerings (except Ron Paul) for which it can’t be said of wobama that he’s been there, done that in contravention of all prior campaign promises, to the substantial detriment of the nation. Even his new ‘displacement’ as chief of staff’s a ‘wall street inside man’ (Drudgereport: FLASHBACK: Daley planned to leave AFTER election...  ,  Michelle (a black) distressed about power of 'white Irish Catholic'...  ,  New Obama Chief of Staff: Former Hedge Fund Exec at CITI, Made Money off Mortgage Defaults... (even Castro’s correct on this obvous point regarding the duplicitous wobama ) Castro: 'Robot' better than Obama, Republicans...  . Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** !

(Washington Post) [ As such, the same salvos levied against slimy newt are aposite here and reiterated. Yet, I’m still non-plused by santorum equating same-sex marriage (as a heterosexual myself I can’t say that I’m wild about that idea) with polygamy (truth be told it could be easy for me to picture being wild about that idea). I haven’t yet looked closely at santorum, candidly speaking; and, know him only by his contraindicated and preposterous ‘soundbites’ in defense of nation-bankrupting neo-con geopolitics (wars) and have previously referred to him as a ‘lightweight’ thereby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why insider trading probes are awkward for SEC (Washington Post) [ If only it wasn’t true that ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way’!

Yet, their’s is only the province of civil remedies with at best criminal referrals to the DOJ for prosecution; good luck with that (remember all those prosecutions promised last election time by what is now the wobama / holder doj of the still extant high level wall street frauds in the trillions…never happened  - { Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender.

The Post’s View The Senate didn’t do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board There’s still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no ‘wiggle room’ whatsoever should be countenanced in this ‘legislation’. Actually, an outright ban would be a more ‘cut and dry’ approach and desirable. Objections? Don’t run for office if you don’t like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a ‘public service sacrifice’ to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the ‘courts’ will apply those laws as written and intended, I’m constrained to say from direct experience: ‘You don’t get out much!’ http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  

 

 

 

Meyerson: Out-of-touch Republicans (Washington Post) [ Oh! Riiiiight! It’s just those dern republicans; since, every 4 years the dems (and wobama) are all ears (that’s literally and figuratively).

Republicans in fantasy land  Wednesday’s debate presented a party adrift from reality. (Washington Post) [ This article refers to republicans only. Now who’s in fantasy land … Mr. Hiatt.

(Washington Post) [ Nothing could match the swelling seen under wobama the b for b***s***, particularly while in ‘election year mode’. At this point, who’s counting? Swelling indeed! The nation’s now one big hematoma of insurmountable debt!  The growing deficit? It’s not as bad as it looks. Modern Monetary Theory, which asserts that budget shortfalls are actually good for the economy, is gaining popularity. If accepted by policymakers, this unorthodox take on financial strategy could affect everything from job creation to the price of goods to the tax code. (Washington Post) [ Not as bad as it looks? Yeah! It’s worse! When I saw this headline juxtapsed with Dylan, immediately apropo to the moment was ‘Blowin’ (in the) Wind’ by Bob Dylan. How totally preposterous; not that it is totally unexpected that such spin, defense of the indefensible is inevitible inasmuch as, prudent or not, like it or not, that’s the way it is in a very big way. So big in fact, that it is literally insurmountable leading to Weimar over-printing of fiat paper currency of unprecedented historical proportion which has already required ‘cover stories’/obfuscation for the consequent ratcheting of food / energy prices, etc., with other costs soon to catch up with incomes statements as these higher prices will not be favorably received nor successfully passed on.

Obama looks to tame U.S. debt Spending plan would pump nearly $500 billion into new construction projects over the next decade.

Well, you know the drill; it’s an election year and it takes money ( that’s not really there, and no, not to make money ) to if not get elected, to enable an argument that, though contraindicated, you should be elected. I think we’ve passed the ‘fool me twice, shame on me’ threshold.  Obama Revises CBO Deficit Forecast, Predicts 110% Debt-To-GDP By End Of 2013, Worse Deficit In 2012 Than 2011Ben Bernanke FTMFW Quote Of The DayAnd the winner is...

Milbank: Burning bridges in Washington (Washington Post) [ Burning bridges? What, London bridge is falling down? (Actually, in a manner of speaking it is: George Osborne: UK has run out of money London Telegraph | The Government ‘has run out of money’ and cannot afford debt-fuelled tax cuts or extra spending, George Osborne has admitted.) Oh, sure; this, from wobama aficionado Mr. Milbank. And, despite spending more than all the presidents since Eisenhower combined, wobama cannot obfuscate, manipulate, mask his complete and utter failure and for once in his life must be held accountable for even his own words (b***s***): ‘… “The president said three years ago that if he couldn’t turn this around in three years, then this would be a one-term proposition. Well, Republican governors are deciding it’s time to collect. It’s time for a new president.” A third governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina, piled on. “It was frustrating to see that he once again was finger-pointing at everyone else, and we don’t have that luxury,” she said, instructing the president: “Enough of the talk.” You’d literally have to go back to Jimmy Carter’s years in the White House, back in the 1970s, to match the liberal ideology, to match the incompetence.” Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell proposed a remedy …’ . After all, if he had but done what he said he would do upon which he campaigned and was elected, though still dire, the nation’s predicament would have been substantially improved.

Gallup: Obama's favorability lowest of any nominee since Bob Dole (Washington Post) [ There’s absolutely no surprise here! The only real surprise is that his favorability isn’t substantially lower.

A Warning Sign For The World  http://albertpeia.com/warningsignfortheworld.htm
Any financial system that is based on debt is doomed to fail.  Today, we are living in the greatest debt bubble that the world has ever seen, and if all of a sudden people could not use credit to buy things our economy would immediately ground to a halt.  Unfortunately, no debt bubble can last forever.  When this current debt bubble finally bursts, faith in the financial system is going to disappear, credit is going to freeze up and there is going to be a massive wave of bank failures.

In Obama’s export push, clash of U.S. interests That collision has been evident in the U.S. airline industry, where policies that aided Boeing forced another American company, Delta, to lose business. Experts say the approach by Obama, who is visiting a Boeing plant today, forces him to pick winners and losers. ‘Service sector cannot and should not lead our economy’ (Washington Post) [ Ramping up the rhetoric; or rather, the b***s***, which is what wobama does best though his actions and inactions since last campaign mode belie his words. First, there isn’t enough real capital in the world to sustain america’s debt burden, and, the over-printed fiat paper weimar dollar currency will be ‘paid for’ by ‘all’. Second, even assuming, arguendo, the absence of the foregoing insurmountable burden / obstacle, there simply is not enough capital in the world to retransition what’s been decades in the making overseas with modern plants and equipment there, now here, much less being profitable to do so. Too little, too late for wobama the b for b***s*** whose actions have consistently belied his words, and who has literally further insurmountably bankrupted the nation with excessively costly and uneconomic window-dressed numbers. For example, taxpayers should get a share of the GM profits since they’re paying for them, ie., { to pad stats - Drudgereport: Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job...  }  and those unaffordably costly cars { to pad sales - Drudgereport (on Government Motors): REPORT: Chevy Volt Costing Taxpayers Up to $250K Per Vehicle...  CAVUTO: Volt sales inflated with taxpayer fleet buys...  }  Is the unemployment rate misleading? WONKBLOG | Some point out that it doesn’t count those who’ve given up looking for work. (Washington Post) [ Duh! Ya think? I don’t even buy their raw numbers; and, even if, arguendo, their raw numbers real, they are election year expedient at best for ‘reporting purposes’ and uneconomic, overcostly, and very, very temporary http://albertpeia.com/governmentfraudulentemploymentstats.htm  . White House was warned about Solyndra layoffs E-mails show Energy Dept. asked firm in October 2010 to delay news of layoffs until after midterm vote. (Washington Post) [ Those unaffordably costly jobs and those unaffordably costly military industrial complex welfare programs .  The ‘so-called improvement’? At what cost for election appearances only?  ***? Milbank: Obama’s budget games He avoided anything resembling a serious proposal. (Washington Post) [ I’m totally astounded! I really am! I even checked / refreshed to see if this was a print / display error! Praise the Lord! It’s true! Criticism of his much-loved wobama! Even pinched myself to see if I was dreaming.  Who woulda think it? Tough love? I’d say we’ll happily take any criticism of wobama by Mr. Milbank as welcomed and nothing short of a monumental breakthrough, whatever the reason. But indeed Mr. Milbank’s quite right and the context is surely typical wobama election-year b***s***! 

 

$200 Oil Coming As Central Banks Go CTRL+P HappyWe have been saying it for weeks, and today even the WSJ jumped on the bandwagon: the sole reason why crude prices are surging (RIP European profit margins: with EUR Brent at a record, we can only assume the ECB will pull a 2011 and hike rates in 3-4 months even as it pumps trillions in PIIGS, banks bailout liquidity) - is because global liquidity has risen by $2 trillion in a few short months, on the most epic shadow liquidity tsunami launched in history in lieu of QE3 (discussed extensively here in our words, but here are JPM's). Luckily, the market is finally waking up to this, and just as world central banks were preparing to offset deflation, they will instead have to deal with spiking inflation, because the market may have a short memory, it can remember what happened just about this time in 2011. And the problem is that when it comes to the inflation trade, the market, unlike in most other instances, can be fast - blazing fast, at anticipating what the central planning collective's next step will be, after all there is only one. And if Bank of America is correct, that next step could well lead to the same unprecedented economic catastrophe that we saw back in 2008, only worse: $200 oil. Note - this is completely independent of what happens in Iran, and is 100% dependent on what happens in the 3rd subbasement of the Marriner Eccles building. Throw in an Iran war and all bets are off. Needless to say, an epic deflationary shock will need to follow immediately, just as in 2008, which means that, in keeping with the tradition of being 6-9 months ahead of the market, our question today is - which bank will be 2012's sacrificial Lehman to set off the latest and greatest deflationary collapse and send crude plunging to $30 just after it hits $200.

 

$10 Trillion In 2 years - 'Over' Abundant Liquidity And ExpectationsA funny thing happened while we all waited for the Fed to announce QE3. The rest of the world did it for them. Courtesy of Bloomberg's excellent Economics Brief, and the n'th time, here is what a multi-trillion dollar liquidity expansion looks like even with the Fed running silent. And this is also what $10 trillion in 2 years pumped into the markets looks like. Wonder where the market gets its "spring step" from? Now you know. Thank you Economist PhD's!

 http://albertpeia.com/16reasonswhyonlyfoolssupportswaragainstIran.htm

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

Super-PAC donors act as GOP kingmakers  A rarefied group of millionaires and billionaires is acting as kingmakers in the Republican presidential contest, often helping to decide, with a simple transfer of money, which candidate might survive another day in race. (Washington Post) [ Let’s not limit this ‘oligarchy in action’ scenario to the republicans. After all, it took some scrutiny from across the sea to ferret out early on a similar scenario regarding ‘the man of the people’, ‘the man of change’ (NOT on both counts) wobama the b for b***s***; viz., David Icke,  Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Putin unleashes wave of anti-American sentiment ahead of March elections Can U.S.-Russian relations withstand damage from attacks that have gotten more aggressive? (Washington Post) [ One can hardly expect a great leader of a great nation as Russia (yes, it is President Putin) to roll over and bend over for a pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless nation as america surely is. The question always boils down to the ultimate cost of better relations with the u.s.. For indigenous populations and foreign nations that have tested the waters of ‘better relations with america’, the outcomes have been fatal (Iraq, Libya, etc., to name a recent few). I personally am constrained to sound and be accused of being ‘anti-american’ (not really, but by their spin certainly) by standing for my rights in property and constitutionally and resisting the costly corruption by the lawless oligarchs presiding over america’s declining / falling destiny today. The vast majority of americans this day are being irrevocably screwed by the u.s. government which is for the sake of current obfuscation bankrupting all in futurity. The corruption is real in america, at the highest levels of all branches of the u.s. government, and I’ve seen this first hand.

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

Then again, could this be a rhetorical way of criticizing the GOP in favor of the Dems or a legitimate heads up so as to preclude the GOP from shooting themselves in the foot. I know not nor care not; the context is the key. Indeed, federal judiciary? Like most things american, the federal courts are rife with corruption. Since when should politics trump (includes corrupt judge maryanne trump barry, and shiff, matz, etc. ) judicial integrity and experience? Answer: since america beyond the propaganda is what inherently criminal, pervasively corrupt defacto is what america truly is and has been. Examples of federal judicial corruption already include the likes of sam alito among others, who though incompetent and corrupt and unequivocally deserving of jail time, sits now on the u.s. supreme court (  http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  , and infra).

 

 

 

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

 

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

 

The Markets Since Their 2000 Highs: We're Not Bouncing Back  http://www.bullfax.com/?q=node-markets-their-2000-highs-were-not-bouncing-back  ... [ Actually the picture is even worse if the real inflation rate used. Wall street is total fraud and b***s***! Keep in mind, in addition to loss of principal, the flux / worry takes its toll on health as well as productivity. ] 02/02/2012 By Doug Short:   The January Effect in 2012 was quite strong, and the U.S. markets have continued the rally that began last October. But let's take a step back and review the performance of the major US indexes in the 21st century through the end of January 2012.

David is also the founder of thetraderseye.com. In his upcoming presentations, he wants to disprove the standard message of Wall Street, "Don't worry! The market will always come back." I furnished David with some charts, and I shared them with regular visitors to my Advisor Perspectives pages.

The Post’s View The Senate didn’t do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board There’s still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no ‘wiggle room’ whatsoever should be countenanced in this ‘legislation’. Actually, an outright ban would be a more ‘cut and dry’ approach and desirable. Objections? Don’t run for office if you don’t like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a ‘public service sacrifice’ to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the ‘courts’ will apply those laws as written and intended, I’m constrained to say from direct experience: ‘You don’t get out much!’ http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  

 

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

 

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. Natural News February 1, 2012  [  http://albertpeia.com/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia.com/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  
http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Gingrich: Today’s college students are coddled (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! They’ve got no jobs and an insurmountably bankrupt nation to look forward to thanks in large part to you, your ilk, your peers, wobama et als; and, notably, through no fault of their own. Besides, says newty, ‘kids, they comb their hair in that funny way’.  Riiiiight, snooty newty, there’s those ‘janitorial jobs’ for which there are even waiting lists of applicants for even those jobs according to reports.

As per wobama, words are cheap; but as we all now know, ultimately very costly when they’re more rhetoric / b***s*** than truth / reality!  Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail. A lawyer and libertarian scholar who had long advocated privatizing Social Security — and once acknowledged taking payments from Jack Abramoff to write favorable op-ed pieces about the lobbyist’s clients — Ferrara said he talks to Gingrich almost daily…’), and the frauds on wall street will just love his social security privatization / new blood for the infamous blood-sucking squid (goldman sachs), to keep the ponzi padded with fresh dough once again on the backs of taxpayers (kind of a ‘k street’ kind of drain).

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated.

Indiana, and confidently say, if he so chooses the path, he will prospectively be President. A way his formidable background and talents could more quickly be brought to the fore would be a Ron Paul / Mitch Daniels ticket which would be a Mitch Daniels candidacy then Presidency in 2016. This would give the nation and the world ‘time to breath’ while recovering from wobama way of  failings / missteps. You can’t ignore Oliver Stone’s sagacious opinion in such matters as these.

Obama’s best surrogate Gingrich boosts the president’s reelection prospects. (Washington Post) [ Indeed, that’s what’s being said across the board. You can count on Mr. Milbank having his fingers crossed for a slimy newt candidacy. Snooty newty, literally a self-proclaimed ‘revolutionary’. Che Gingrich! I can almost envision the posters / t-shirts. It’s really quite amazing / tragic! Narcissistic personality disorder? Could be. See here: He’s So Vain, He’d Be Right in Thinking This Post Is About Him By ANDREW ROSENTHAL NYT  http://loyalopposition.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/hes-so-vain-hed-be-right-in-thinking-this-post-is-about-him  …You can’t set too much store by press releases from one campaign about another, but I have to say that Mitt Romney’s team has come out with a devastating one. It’s titled, poetically: “‘I think Grandiose Thoughts’ A Selection of Speaker Gingrich’s Thoughts Over The Years.”

It cites some of the most breathtakingly self-congratulatory statements that I’ve ever seen from a politician, and that is a high bar.

Last month: “I think I am a transformational figure.” (Shouldn’t there have been a footnote crediting Barack Obama with that line?)

In 1985, when he was a backbencher in the Reagan G.O.P., to put it generously: “I want to shift the entire planet. And I’m doing it … I represent real power.” (Maybe that explains global warming.)

In 1992, when he was on the verge of becoming Speaker of the House, one of the most non-revolutionary things you can do: “I am essentially a revolutionary.”

And in 2005: “I first talked about [saving civilization] in August of 1958.” It’s fairly impressive that Mr. Gingrich remembers the exact date he first mentioned saving civilization. Too bad it’s now been almost 54 years and he still hasn’t done it.

All politicians love to compare themselves to previous politicians, and Republicans especially love to compare themselves to Abraham Lincoln, whose Republican Party, of course, had no connection to the current one apart from the name. But Mr. Gingrich truly excels at this, as in all other matters egotistical.

The Romney news release, which is carefully sourced, contains examples of Mr. Gingrich likening himself to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher (another revolutionary, essentially), Woodrow Wilson, Henry Clay, Charles de Gaulle (aren’t Republicans supposed to disdain the French?), William Wallace (from the movie “Braveheart,” not the actual William Wallace); the Duke of Wellington (presumably not for the beef or the boots), Thomas Edison, Vince Lombardi, the Wright brothers, and any old Viking. And Moses…’ [In this respect, viz., potentially suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder, he’s not so different from wobama the b for b***s***]: ‘… During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency….

“The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do.”

There's a peddler comes to our house

With such wonderful bargains to sell

And he starts our hearts to tingling

Just as soon as he pushed the bell

Fannie, Freddie writedowns too costly: regulator WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac told lawmakers that forcing the two mortgage firms to write down loan principal would require more than $100 billion in fresh taxpayer funds… [ In other words, like the fed, banks, fannie/freddie are carrying  worthless toxic assets ‘marked to anything’. ]

Krauthammer: The GOP’s suicide march (Washington Post) [ Wow! Mr. Krauthammer must have been having a ‘bad hair day’. Suicide march? I don’t think so. I even was compelled to look up his (vaulted mis)use of ‘manichean’ (definitions infra) in his rather grimly devised piece. Whew! Time to break out the ‘sackcloth and ashes’. I truly have never seen Mr. Krauthammer so ‘off his game’. If one can’t appreciate the ultimate ‘raison d’etre’ for the occupy movement vis-à-vis the egregious, gargantuan, still unprosecuted wall street frauds, clearly, that person’s not been paying attention; and, to ignore same is to do so at the nation’s peril [ Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** ! The quid pro quo … the bribe …  Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.    America Is a Failed State Because It Won’t Prosecute Financial Crime  Washington’s Blog Roche 'The worst part of it  ...Obama, who vowed change, has done almost nothing to fix any of it and in fact continues most of the policies that helped get us here in the first place’  ‘INSIDE JOB’ Ferguson wins Oscar for Documentary on the unprosecuted massive extant fraud in the (many) TRILLIONS by the frauds on wall street ( and declares with oscar in hand that not one high level wall street exec has been prosecuted … despite ‘earning’ billions from the fraud )THE OBAMA DECEPTION’  http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv , ] . I often point to the stupidity of americans generally, but not so dumb to ignore the most basic math coupled with common sense relative to these nation-debilitating, unjustifiable frauds, boondoggles. At this juncture I feel obliged to state that I haven’t voted for decades (kind of along the lines of ‘George Carlin’s famed defense of his own non-voting record which he justified by reminding all that Hitler came to power in a full, free, democratic election by a landslide’). Yet, on all the ‘big ones’, I’ve always taken a prior position based on the ‘reality’ of the prospective result. May I humbly say, I’ve never, ever been wrong. These are ‘debates’ …’words’… geared toward positioning one or another for the opportunity of the ‘big job’. To expect anything less than at least a ‘little bit of juglar’ is a bit naïve. So calm down Mr. Krauthammer; nothing’s been lost. Testament to Mr. Krauthammer being ‘off his game’ here is his positing of ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ as being smart. Au contraire Mr. Krauthammer! Wobama’s quite dumb! If smart, wobama would have done as he said he would do last campaign, and the nation would have been far better off for it! Parenthetically, look to who’s pushing the censorship bills; now, that’s political desperation! To cheer Mr. Krauthammer up, there’s also that egregious ‘Keystone’ misstep which even The Post’s Editorial Board felt compelled to point out. We’ll just chalk this up to ‘(temporary) situational anxiety disorder’.

Poor (not really thanks to that slithery ‘k street phenomena of money for nothing’) slimy newt. There’s really no excuse for blaming the media. I actually believe her (could be a familiar ‘meaning of the word is, is’ scenario) but to that I say, ‘So What’! After all, if it was a lack of mendacity and meretricious, disingenuous hypocrisy that the media and electorate were looking for, Ron Paul would be surging! And from beyond, we sense Frank’s upset as he croons:

 

He was married and so was she

In a house of sticks that he was made to flee

She wore black and he wore white

Though she might win this fight

 

So what, she shot him down

So what, they were blank rounds

Bang bang, the media rang

Bang bang, the socar hillbillies sang

So what, his baby shot him down … with blanks!

 

My Baby Shot Me Down

(Actual lyrics in pertinent part)


I was five and she was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight

Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down …

"Tea for Two" (recorded 1947 Frank Sinatra / Dinah Shore) (Music/Youmans Lyrics/Caesar)

 

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

 


{actual song in pertinent part}

I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own.

Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's
weary chase is unknown.

Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty
caress the streams.

Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in.
Don't let it abide in my dreams.

Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone! …’

ComPost : The stupidest attack on Romney yet  (Washington Post) Mais oui, il est tres stupide, que triton visqueux (But yes, he is very stupid, that slimy newt). I personally took (the mandatory foreign language grade 7-10) French and even brushed up here in LA while contemplating a move to Geneva, Switzerland, Europe, which of course has obviously changed along with EU prospects, the EU having so foolishly gone along to get along with the now fallen american way (I’m really not good with languages, being ‘hard-wired’ with my initial language, ie., my facebook response to query, ‘I took French; but I have no facility with languages (including computer programming languages) other than what I initially learned and some code (html, etc.). I think I should invest in one of those electronic translators.’). Even Frank’s  angrily chiming in with his displeasure with snooty newty from beyond :

I love seeing newt the bummer in summer when it sizzles

 

Newty seems dumber,

Really don’t have to wait for summer,
to see that bummer newty fall

 

 

Ron Paul’s achievement After a quarter-century in the wilderness, he’s within reach of putting his cause on the map. (Washington Post) [ At first blush, I thought by this headline this article to be Mr. Krauthammer’s vailed attempt at sarcasm. After all, as a jewish man himself, I’ve yet to see him take a position that could in any way be even remotely antithetical to israeli interests; and yet, one would have to be blind and dumb not to to realize such zionist / pro-israeli policies as foolishly adopted by the u.s. have been unequivocally antithetical to american interests. The testament to the merger of contraindicated american ‘interests’ with selfishly construed israeli interests was that display of wildly cheering israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in Weehawken, n.j. at the sight of the burning / exploding / symmetrically imploding trade towers (including bldg. 7) on 911 (contriving such a ‘pearl harbor event’ a neocon / military industrial complex / israeli wet dream come true. Later history might even write this as the ‘albatross incident’ for america). The great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex whose interests and welfare programs have merged with those of the militant illegal-nuke totin’ israelis whose interests suddenly merged into puppet-in-chief wobama despite wobama’s campaign rhetoric to the contrary upon which he was elected. Parenthetically, President Eisenhower never took any crap from the terrorist begin / israelis in contravention of American interests in the region.  I truly don’t know what being a libertarian means; but I do know that a junkie/thief/methamphetamine addict from virginia who stole some (very valuable to me) items from me here in Socal had a father who was one and he professed being one of sorts himself though questionable (ie., his ‘phony’ business card with an ‘in God we trust’ logo, etc.). The importance of Ron Paul is to point out the unsustainability of ‘same old / same old’ without reason, purpose, advantage to any but the very greedy short-sighted few, though substantially detrimental to the nation. After the cold war’s end, with peace dividend to grace clinton, the substantial achievement of Reagan / Gorbachev, if america had literally ‘done nothing’ rather than having embarked upon the ‘money-eating / war-profiteering’ adventurism along with ‘that engagement thing’ with communist china so hailed by former ambassador to china / cia man bush, no nation could have caught up to and passed america; some and then many have and are destined to do so (what the heck, decades at best anyway). The fed has failed all mandates for which it supposedly exists. They’ve literally helped consummate for the intended benefit of the few, frauds in the trillions, to the substantial detriment of the vast majority and the nation itself (among other culpable acts, ie., $4 trillion missing at the new york fed, over-printing of  the ever more worthless dollars, etc.). For the israeli lobby, reality is a frightful thing. For pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, reality is also a frightful thing. 

How will President George W. Bush personally make million$, if not billion$ from the War on Terror? The easy way.  He'll inherit it.

. Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

 

Romney’s money problem His nomination may be near, but his routine is getting a bit rich. (Washington Post) [ Yet another of those ‘aw come on wobama lover Mr. Milbank moments’. I mean really. Wobama’s are as ‘rich’, and disingenuous at best to say otherwise, and his routine, namely b***s***, is past ‘getting old’. After all, wobama can’t run on his clear record of failure as bush failure 3 with what turns out as before, b***s*** alone. The problem is that there’s nothing that can be said of the republican offerings (except Ron Paul) for which it can’t be said of wobama that he’s been there, done that in contravention of all prior campaign promises, to the substantial detriment of the nation. Even his new ‘displacement’ as chief of staff’s a ‘wall street inside man’ (Drudgereport: FLASHBACK: Daley planned to leave AFTER election...  ,  Michelle (a black) distressed about power of 'white Irish Catholic'...  ,  New Obama Chief of Staff: Former Hedge Fund Exec at CITI, Made Money off Mortgage Defaults... (even Castro’s correct on this obvous point regarding the duplicitous wobama ) Castro: 'Robot' better than Obama, Republicans...  . Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** ! The quid pro quo … the bribe …  Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.    America Is a Failed State Because It Won’t Prosecute Financial Crime  Washington’s Blog Roche 'The worst part of it  ...Obama, who vowed change, has done almost nothing to fix any of it and in fact continues most of the policies that helped get us here in the first place’  ‘INSIDE JOB’ Ferguson wins Oscar for Documentary on the unprosecuted massive extant fraud in the (many) TRILLIONS by the frauds on wall street ( and declares with oscar in hand that not one high level wall street exec has been prosecuted … despite ‘earning’ billions from the fraud )THE OBAMA DECEPTION’  http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv ,    Role as political insider in Washington made Rick Santorum a millionaireAfter losing reelection bid in 2006, he capitalized on experience with a profitable career on K Street. (Washington Post) [ As such, the same salvos levied against slimy newt are aposite here and reiterated. Yet, I’m still non-plused by santorum equating same-sex marriage (as a heterosexual myself I can’t say that I’m wild about that idea) with polygamy (truth be told it could be easy for me to picture being wild about that idea). I haven’t yet looked closely at santorum, candidly speaking; and, know him only by his contraindicated and preposterous ‘soundbites’ in defense of nation-bankrupting neo-con geopolitics (wars) and have previously referred to him as a ‘lightweight’ thereby.

FRANK SINATRA LYRICS: " I WANNA BE AROUND "
(J. Mercer, S. Vimmerstadt)
[Recorded June 9, 1964, Los Angeles]
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart,
Somebody twice as smart as I.
Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and see.
I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine,
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,
Like you, like you broke mine.

Call him irresponsible - call him unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do his foolish alibis bore you
Well he’s not too clever – he just adores trumpish people we should boo

Call him unpredictable - tell him he’s impractical
Pots of gold at ends of rainbows he’s inclined to pursue
Call him irresponsible - yes newt’s unreliable
But it's undeniably true – newt’s irresponsibly mad for madman trump et als too

 

Financial Troubles For Many Nations In The New Year Bob Chapman | 2012 is going to be quite a year with falling economies in the UK, Europe, the US, China, Japan and the remainder of Asia. Ron Paul’s poll numbers are up in Iowa (Washington Post) [ As indeed they should be if people are truthful about wanting real change for the better. Historical headwinds Gingrich, Romney and Paul against the odds. (Washington Post) [ This is without doubt the most disappointing article by an otherwise invariably clear thinking Mr. Will. I’m glad for his disclosure (the Perry link) inasmuch as at least there is the possibility of a modicum of reason behind what otherwise would constitute a total ‘lack of reason’. Mr. Will sets forth some interesting tidbits of a category of sorts of history as if prepping for a round of Jeopardy, so obscure as they are. Relevance to today, that is also as obscure. If Mr. Will, of all people, cannot discern the difference today, from the america of yesterday, one does have to wonder who can. Yet, I do believe the vast majority in america do in fact discern such a difference. Why? Because the magnitude of that reality (of difference) is so great that one would have to be literally brain-dead to not discern it. Pervasively corrupt and quite literally defacto bankrupt, america’s at the cusp of a complete collapse in every way a nation could collapse; viz., financially, economically, politically, geopolitically, and legally. Indeed, so stark are these realities despite organized obfuscation, the same direction / status quo is blatantly untenable to even the most stalwart of ‘stay the course types’. Other than the black vote (roughly 18% according to’the first black president, clinton’) and the relatively few remaining wobama loyalists, I do believe, though belated, it’s human nature for that clear majority to opt for the chance of survival (of a nation) rather than the already worn path of decline as tread by wobama. Then comes the distinction between the failed president wobama and the alternative; Ron Paul being the ‘man, with a plan, that’s not already been ran’. New direction, change is sorely needed; which wobama promised, but never delivered, jive-talking con-man that he is. 

George H.W. Bush said to support Romney (Washington Post) [“I think Romney is the best choice for us,” said poppy bush. Exactly! Though surprisingly candid given his oft shady rhetoric; from read his lips ‘no new taxes’ to ‘he’s thinking anew’, words he ascribed to Lincoln; he really means this ‘us’ thing; not u.s. mind you; but literally us as in the untalented (war) criminal bush clan that spawned two failed presidents and have rested hopes for a third (jebby the judas – or at least a still viable political ‘leeching of america’ position – same for his lying -9/11- buddy tom kean’s son) in the ever increasingly desperate romney. So poor a job did poppy do, he, like ‘wobama the b for b***s***, was a ‘one-termer’ (even bush failure 2 who ranks among the worst presidents in american history, just a notch above wobama –the worst-, got two terms – people were still buying into their self-created ‘national emergency mode’ war propaganda). Then there’s his familial historical ties to fraudulent wall street as well as even hitler et als. But then there’s the military industrial complex so warned against by the great but underrated President General Eisenhower that stands to gain by the bush league approach and certainly romney’s bellicose rhetoric was made to order to accommodate such fleecing enterprises with wars / conflicts made real thereby. ‘Best choice’ … For whom should be the proper query? There’s the cia (and their illegal drug business and bigger off the grid budgets http://albertpeia.com/CIAAgentAffidavit1.jpg   ), the communist chinese (that engagement thing as former ambassador that’s worked out so marvelously for america while make ‘those few’ very wealthy), the Carlisle Group, etc.. Then there’s aipac, israel, zionist jews, neo-cons, mental-cases like cheney, bolton, etc., and in the case of aipac have been showing their love … not for americans/america, but for ie., romney and themselves… With rise, Ron Paul could be spoiler in GOP presidential race — or kingmaker As the first votes approach in Iowa, the congressman is a serious force with the potential to upend fight. (Washington Post) [ Spoiler? Kingmaker? How ‘bout ‘the candidate’! If there’s one thing far more scrutinizing eyes than those of the so-called mainstream are apt to point out (ie., Tyler Durden, Jones, Watson, etc.), it’s that the nation hasn’t fared so well with the so-called ‘establishment / mainstream candidates / favorites’. In fact, as we all know, the substantially compromised mainstream candidates with substantially compromised mainstream positions have proven to be downright disastrous for the nation, the people, and the world generally. The time has come in light of realities to say, borrowing the words from Robert Kennedy … Why not? There is no rational argument that militates against a Ron Paul who calls things as they are. After all, whether people like to admit it or not, the fed (like wobama the b for b***s***) has failed virtually all of their mandates. Moreover, the bernanke fed’s policies have helped the frauds / perps (biggest still unprosecuted) on wall street to the detriment of literally everyone else. The same is true of the military industrial complex war-welfare plans as warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower in terms of the few they so favored at everyone else’s expense. The examples go on and on and are too numerous to list. Rogers: Paul is short on appeal (Washington Post) [ Yeah … he ain’t pretty … but this ain’t a beauty contest … Moreover, what has appeal gotten the nation? … where has appeal gotten the nation to? … 4 years of wobama’s ‘appeal’ aka b***s*** has left the nation in the toilet at best, cesspool at worst; and, in large part owing to the glaring fact that if ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ had done what he said he’d do and didn’t, the nation prospects, though still ominous, would have been substantially enhanced. For all but Paul, it’s the failed ‘same old, same old’ which is, as per paraphrasing Einstein, neither a plan, nor strategy, but rather insanity. Gingrich’s time of testingTHE TAKE | Can Gingrich survive rivals’ attacks, build a campaign that sustains his candidacy? (Washington Post) [ ‘Time of testing’? Oh, but he has been tested … scandal-scarred like no other, he has been found wanting … too much … not for the nation, but himself … he’s already failed any and all tests.  Newspaper Chaired By Private Equity Head Shockingly Endorses Mitt Romney For President; Ron Paul On Jay Leno   A few hours ago the Des Moines Register threw its support behind the Bain Capital founder, and the man now known to have actively destroyed any trace of his public "service" before his 2007 Massachusettes office handover (with a pending response to a Reuters FOIA, which will disclose just what it was that Romney was so tenuously shredding). Because according to the Iowan newspaper, Mitt Romney "is the best to lead" America, although into what, is not quite clear - perhaps the biggest Fed funded LBO (with a Bain Capital $1 mezz piece) of all time, that of America? We don't know. And neither does the Register's editorial board. What they do know are hollow adjectives, such as "sobriety", "wisdom" and "judgment" which somehow are applicable to Romney, if not so much "betting" and "shredding." Those looking for a late night laugh can read the OpEd below (link to tomorrow's front page here). And ironically, while likely set to provide a very short-term boost to Romney's chances, it is the baseless ongoing accusations against Ron Paul that will likely solidify the groundswell behind the Texan, with such desperate platitudes as "Ron Paul's libertarian ideology would lead to economic chaos and isolationism, neither of which this nation can afford." Because what America certainly needs is more of that old ideology of doing everything just the same and hoping for the best, because if there is anything Romney's would be predecessors have taught us is that hope apparently is a credible strategy. But perhaps most relevant is the reminder that the Des Moines Register is a Gannett company whose Chairman just happens to be one Marjorie Magner, whose bio reads: 'Ms. Magner, 61, is Managing Partner of Brysam Global Partners, a private equity firm investing in financial services firms with a focus on consumer opportunities in emerging markets founded in January 2007. She was Chairman and CEO of Citigroup's Global Consumer Group from 2003 to 2005. She served in various roles at Citigroup, and a predecessor company, CitiFinancial (previously Commercial Credit), since 1987. Ms. Magner currently serves as a director of Accenture Ltd. and Ally Financial Inc. and served as a director of The Charles Schwab Corporation from February 2006 to May 2008. Ms. Magner has broad business experience and financial expertise from the various senior management roles she held with Citigroup." (that Romney felt the need to ‘kiss the ring’ of failed president poppy bush says a lot about ‘regressive political persuasion’

 

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

 

America’s shine is wearing off I know why we are falling into a cataclysm of debt and can’t get out. (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.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Albert L. Peia

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

Is Bernanke aggressive enough on jobs? While Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke has already left his mark on economic history not once, but twice, a debate is raging over whether he should become more diligent about reducing unemployment or continue with a more restrained approach. (Washington Post) [ ‘No-recession-helicopter-ben-b.s.-shalom-bernanke’ is a complete and utter failure who should be fired. He has failed all fed mandates (infra), while ‘electioneering/yearing’ a frothing of the markets with QE’s overt and sub rosa with runaway printing/creation of evermore worthless Weimar dollars for the irrationally exuberant wealth effect of frothing the markets for appearances and particularly for the frauds on wall street to ultimately as in last crash, the detriment of the vast majority. ( http://albertpeia.com/30bunglebenbernankequotes.htm  http://albertpeia.com/benbsshalombernankesellsfedpansgoldstandard.htm  )  Remember: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Guest Post: Why Bernanke Has Failed, And Will Continue To FailBen Bernanke's zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and command-economy efforts to maintain mispricing of risk, debt and assets are destroying capital and capitalism. No wonder his policies have failed so miserably. Bernanke's policy is to punish capital accumulation and reward leveraged debt expansion. Rather than enforce the market's discipline and transparent pricing of risk, debt and assets, Bernanke has explicitly set out to re-inflate a destructive, massively unproductive credit bubble…,… 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. ] ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.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 (as now), the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher (as now)…    ,   Morgan Stanley On Why The Gig Is Up  "What we have on our hands is a good old fashioned quagmire" is how Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson sets up his surprisingly non-sheep-like perspective on the troubles that US equity investors may be about to face. Expanding on MS's bearish strategic (fundamental) forecast, that we discussed earlier in the week, Wilson combines the 'liquidity vs negative-real-rate' thesis (that the Fed's liquidity is perhaps no longer 'good' for stocks) with his own views on ECRI's weakness (very 2008-like in relation to ECO surprises), household debt deleveraging (more and longer), how much QE3 is already priced in and what will its effect be when it comes (less and less positive in nominal and real terms), investor sentiment (very bullish), long-term technicals (weak breadth), and short-term earnings expectations (deteriorating and weighted to 'weak' financials to end with the pragmatic realist perspective that perhaps 'the gig is up'

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? … 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.

Obama holds key leads over Romney on top issues, personal traits But contest is more competitive when it comes to economy, jobs, according to new Post-ABC News poll. (Washington Post) [ I don’t believe these polls as favor obama for even a second. While it may seem unfair to single out abc inasmuch as any mainstream news disseminator is as unreliable, the fact is that while there are many stupid people in america, there really aren’t that many people who are that stupid. The fact is that the guy they know (‘ devil that you know verses the “devil” that you don’t ‘) is so bad and without any integrity whatsoever and such a proven  failure, that only the dumbest fool could invite the fool me twice scenario with wobama the b for b***s*** who has broken virtually every campaign promise on which he ran and was elected; and as it has turned out, to the nation’s substantial detriment. Mainstream media is a total joke and a testament to how far the nation has fallen. There’s no downside to Romney because there’s no upside to wobama, the jive-talking black man as he reminds us as he did when he reminded us that that if he had a son, he’d look like that little thief/would have been future criminal trayvon martin. As for the Post, almost everything seems controversial these days and their comment section for the more controversial topics particularly is down/not working/doesn’t post more often than not and I no longer even bother with, waste my time alerting them to the problems. Virtually every criticism of Romney is in the realm of wobama’s been there done that; including the purported cozy relationship with wall street as we all wait for wobama’s promised prosecutions at the highest levels … don’t hold your breath. Personal traits? I’ll take the guy who was a former missionary. Should he be punished for a less than sordid background:  http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Dear Albert L. Peia,

Can you believe this?  After the largest online protest in history, the Obama administration is still voicing support for SOPA.

We promised to ask for your help if SOPA returned. We're asking now. This kind of backtracking demands a strong, fast response. We're running a petition to demand that Obama drop all support for internet censorship.

Our goal? Get more signatures than the top petition on whitehouse.gov -- 151,000 signatures. Tell Obama to promise: "I will never advance legislation that blocks websites or disconnects Americans’ internet access.”

What is the White House working on exactly? Just the other day, the administration sent a letter to Congress to demonstrate their support for new internet censorship legislation. A few weeks ago, the White House struck a deal to give corporations private powers to shut down your internet connection (after "six strikes" without due process or judicial review), completely in secret.

Obama's internet would let private companies block sites and turn off our web connections. Blocking websites censors free speech, hurts jobs, and breaks the internet. These are tactics used by totalitarian governments and we believe they’re never ok.

 


As Wired noted*, "The White House did say that it wouldn't endorse a bill that endangers freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risks, or negatively affects the DNS system. On the other hand, it says elsewhere that "combating online infringement" -- not protecting free speech -- is a governmental priority "of the highest order." What about free speech, Obama?

Sign the petition now, then share it to keep the internet strong. Our friends need to know where the President is currently standing on SOPA.


We couldn't have stopped SOPA and PIPA without you and all of your friends! And we can't do it without you now. Let's make sure SOPA 2.0 never gets written.

Thank you,

Tiffiniy, Zak, Fight for the Future!

Let's get more signatures than any petition on whitehouse.gov.

* The Wired article can be read in full here: http://a.fightforthefuture.org/go/21?akid=69.1441637.MCqdep&t=10

Is Bernanke aggressive enough on jobs? While Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke has already left his mark on economic history not once, but twice, a debate is raging over whether he should become more diligent about reducing unemployment or continue with a more restrained approach. (Washington Post) [ ‘No-recession-helicopter-ben-b.s.-shalom-bernanke’ is a complete and utter failure who should be fired. He has failed all fed mandates (infra), while ‘electioneering/yearing’ a frothing of the markets with QE’s overt and sub rosa with runaway printing/creation of evermore worthless Weimar dollars for the irrationally exuberant wealth effect of frothing the markets for appearances and particularly for the frauds on wall street to ultimately as in last crash, the detriment of the vast majority. ( http://albertpeia.com/30bunglebenbernankequotes.htm  http://albertpeia.com/benbsshalombernankesellsfedpansgoldstandard.htm  )  Remember: All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

Guest Post: Why Bernanke Has Failed, And Will Continue To FailBen Bernanke's zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) and command-economy efforts to maintain mispricing of risk, debt and assets are destroying capital and capitalism. No wonder his policies have failed so miserably. Bernanke's policy is to punish capital accumulation and reward leveraged debt expansion. Rather than enforce the market's discipline and transparent pricing of risk, debt and assets, Bernanke has explicitly set out to re-inflate a destructive, massively unproductive credit bubble…,… 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. ] ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.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 (as now), the “official” unemployment rate would be significantly higher (as now)…

Will: Time to legalize drugs?

Of course, that would in fact be stupid because wobama will get near 100% of the black vote for no reason other than the fact that he’s black. But who’s listening to pickled-brain palin who has no credibility in reality whatsoever but provides great source material for comedy as SNL of which she’s quite proud, media hound that she is and as the article points out.

 

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

Moreover, people have grown weary of that same old song of excuses for the black man which song is the same no matter where worldwide; that perpetual ‘film noir’ that ‘political correctness’ which reality makes now unaffordable globally, precludes real solutions consonant with the factual basis that blacks would love to overlook or ignore.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’

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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA.

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

Moreover, people have grown weary of that same old song of excuses for the black man which song is the same no matter where worldwide; that perpetual ‘film noir’ that ‘political correctness’ which reality makes now unaffordable globally, precludes real solutions consonant with the factual basis that blacks would love to overlook or ignore.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Lancaster computer shop shooting suspect identified | abc7.com

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=8594147


http://albertpeia.com/typicalblackmanonneighborhoodwatch.htm

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’

 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

 

 

Robinson: Mitt can’t shake his mistakes (Washington Post) [ You see, the problem for wobama apologists as Mr. Robinson who seems to have stepped up in the absence of Mr. Milbank in that regard, is that there’s nothing that can be said of Mitt Romney prospectively and hypothetically that wobama hasn’t, contrary to campaign promises and rhetoric from last eternal b***s*** session/campaign, already done in fact.

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



 

Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

New Black Panthers Call for Vigilante Justice in Trayvon Martin Case Kurt Nimmo | “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” declares Mikhail Muhammad, leader of the group.

 

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss. Nah! Somehow I can’t picture Mr. Milbank on any sports field, much less a baseball field. Then I thought, maybe a story of pet dog puppymill banks that have been getting some press of late. Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Lancaster computer shop shooting suspect identified | abc7.com

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=8594147


http://albertpeia.com/typicalblackmanonneighborhoodwatch.htm

‘Timothy Johnson, 24, is shown in this 2007 mugshot provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.’ (KABC Photo) CSheriff's officials released the name of the man they say shot and killed the owner of a computer shop in Lancaster.

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Timothy Johnson, described as being 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds with a dark complexion (negro-black) and a closely shaved head.

Detectives say Johnson reportedly entered eChaps Computers and More at 2007 W. Avenue K on Friday, shot and killed store owner Reed Lewis Keith and left with stolen electronics in hand.

Johnson reportedly fled in a black, 1980s model four-door car driven by an accomplice. Investigators said Johnson was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a ski mask at the time of the robbery…’



Wearing hoodie, Rush escorted from House floor (Washington Post) [ Hold onto your purses female members, there’s a black boy wearing a hoodie in the house. [ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. while walking through Military Park 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 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 (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 after a long chase) . The girl was not that seriously injured, did get her pocketbook and tuition back, and the criminal 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 blacks 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). ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion, Q4 GDP Comes As Expected, Claims Miss Big Two Weeks In A RowFollowing last Thursday's weekly claims release we said "Initial Claims Beat Expectations, To Miss Next Week Following Revision" and sure enough, last week's 348K beat of 350K expectations has been revised wildly higher, to 364K, meaning the initial beat was not only a miss, it was wide by a mile relative to the 350K preliminary expectation. But robots do not care - all they care is the current print, which however this time also missed, printing at 359K on expectations of a 350K number. This is the first 4 week increase in the 4 week SMA since September as the weather impact of the record warm winter starts to fade away, as explained yesterday. Same gimmicks in the continuing claims number too which like everything out of the BLS is so meaningless for concurrent data, we will probably just wait until the next week revision to get a sense of what is truly happening. More troubling is that 78K people fell of extended and EUC claims as more and more drop out of the workforce. This means the unemployment rate just dropped courtesy of even more people giving up on finding work. Thank heavens for BLS math. In other news, the final Q4 GDP revision came unchanged at 3.0%, in line with expectations. There were no major changes to the components, however Personal consumption did decline modestly from the second revision's 1.52% to 1.47%. It also appears that the government has been consistently taking away less and less from "growth", detracting 0.93%, 0.89% and 0.84% with every consecutive revision. Overall, a wash, meaning March is about to close with about with 17 misses out of 19 key economic indicators. , A Cashless Society May Be Closer Than Most People Would Ever Dare To Imagine http://albertpeia.com/cashlesssocietynear.htm  , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  DIP BUYERS EMERGE ON TIME 3-29-12‘European stocks were lower on the day on more worries about…wait for it…Greece.

Even though the current data (359K) missed estimates (350K) the prior report was revised from 348K claims to 365K. Headline writers could then state claims improved. Got that? These revisions to prior claims have been consistently higher over the past 20 weeks. Elsewhere GDP data came in at 3% which matched previous data and estimates so no big deal there. Most forecasters believe economic growth will decline in the next quarter.As stated, U.S. stocks began the day in a funk but then the 2:15 PM Buy Program Express left the station on time and a reversal was at hand.

The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

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

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:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer's browser) as per your office's request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I've installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named '112208opocoan'). The (civil) RICO action (as you're aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and at! torney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims pr obably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).


Th! e document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].


The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI's LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meetin! g and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter w as assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did - he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? - and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation - Andrew Maloney's the one that prosecuted gotti).


In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,



* 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 o! f Connecticut, who denied Coan's requested relief as to Coan but precl uded 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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'.



There is applicable ins! urance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.


Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Peia:

 

Thank you for being in touch.  As we continue the busy first session of the 112th Congress, I want you to know that I am grateful for the various times you have shared your thoughts and concerns with me on different issues.  Please be assured that your voice is being heard and that your perspective helps me to better represent you in Washington, D.C

[ This is a reply to the Congresswoman’s query among others included.]

 

 

11-5-11

 

 

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’.  43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

 

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that 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 would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Albert L. Peia



 

 

Repeal ‘Stand Your Ground’ As Trayvon Martin’s death shows, such laws are a license to kill.  (Washington Post) [ Well, the fact is that criminals who make neighborhood watch necessary need no licenses to kill. Indeed, this 3-24-12 robbery/murder by a black of a white store-owner who complied with all the killer’s demands and offered no resistance or provocation and complete compliance, was killed by the ‘rabid dog’ anyway. At some point rational people must say, ‘thus far and no further’! Stand your ground must stand! People should be more objective, and not base their opinions as this clearly on shades of race and inherent bias alone!

Obamacare’s oxymoron  The mandate contradicts centuries of contract law.(Washington Post) [ Indeed, not to mention constitutional law.

Obama's Legacy: A Failed Recovery & Double-Dip Recession  Forbes / Mariotti  ‘…There will be no significant recovery in the United States of America while Barack Obama is President.  The evidence is overwhelming:  everything Obama has tried to fuel a recovery (with his Democratic allies in Congress) has failed.  Statistics claiming jobs saved by the stimulus package were mostly fiction, and cost American taxpayers about $275,000 each.  Nearly 2-1/2 million fewer Americans have jobs than before the stimulus… Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  …  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list …’

Milbank: My pet Mitt (Washington Post) [Holy smokes! For a minute there I was thinking from the headline, Mr. Milbank, a baseball aficionado and player who had a favorite mitt he’d like to discuss. Nah! Somehow I can’t picture Mr. Milbank on any sports field, much less a baseball field. Then I thought, maybe a story of pet dog puppymill banks that have been getting some press of late. Couldn’t be! I’m now at the article … z.z. … named for offbeat rock group z.z. top? Eh … as they say in socal (in the Valley particularly), ‘what…ever’. But, one has to admit (no pun intended) Mr. Milbank, wobama aficionado extraordinaire is really getting desperate in literally goin’ to the dogs. As a matter of full disclosure, I’m a cat person myself. There was a time that beyond cats, I thought german shepherds, huskies, malamutes, and wolves to be ok by me among canines. Until that is: a girl I casually knew had a pure bred german shepherd  of finest breeding and bloodlines with papers to prove it, which dog took a dump on the floor of my house and lapped up its own crap like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, even licking the floor so as not  to miss a drop. Among the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life and by that one instance, inculcated in my mind forever. Needless to say, I never kissed, etc., that girl again and who I made sure was gone from my life forever shortly thereafter. Cats, and I’ll concede wolves, would never do that. Wobama’s kind of dog-like, incompetent failure as he is, and he’ll be as could be expected, eatin’ his own b***s*** soon; but, maybe not loving it!

while the daily black-on-white attacks are “disappeared”: Either not reported on at all, reported only by local newspapers, but “whited out” of local TV and national newspaper coverage, or reported without informing viewers of the respective races of the attackers and victim.

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

Obama Administration Tries To Shut Down Rush Limbaugh

Intelligence officials retain citizens’ data longer Justice Dept. approves new guidelines allowing counterterrorism agencies to keep information about U.S. residents for up to five years, even if those residents have no known connection to terrorism. ‘Drip by drip our freedoms are vanishing’ (Washington Post) [ Indeed, this is true; but, hardly unprecedented in failing, falling, regimes, nations, empires. Pen-name Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge coincidentally this day weighs in with an explanation: Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet?

The nation generally, and connecticut particularly should be thankful lieberman’s gone as his efforts, energies on behalf of israel have always been antithetical to the interests of both.

Jobless claims hit 4-year low Data bolster the view that the job market is strengthening. (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! Just in time for the elections … hey, a temp job’s still a job, so they say; and, at $275,000 per stimulus job, lets count them twice forever. Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job...  , Presenting The American Sweatshop: An Infographic Of The Online Retail Warehouse Temp JobOne of the biggest surprise stories of the past several months, in addition to economic activity skewing record warm weather, and the New Normal seasonal adjustments (which as Albert Edwards noted earlier are giving data an upward bias for each of the past three years), is the consistently "better than expected" jobs numbers. There is one problem: as discussed previously, the rising jobs are purely a quantity over quality trade off, as every month more and more temp jobs take the place of permanent ones, especially those of former professionals from the FIRE sector. In fact, in January temp jobs soared by the most on record, and the total number of temp workers was just shy of all time highs. Ironically, as this happened, discretionary online retail companies have seen their stock price soar to record highs. One of the primary drivers for this has been the increased "efficiency" at these companies' hubs - their warehouses. Which just happen to be staffed with temp workers. The following infographic presents the reality behind these American "sweatshops" - because this is the "quality" of job that is rising rapidly in the current economy (at the expense of traditional permanent jobs) to give the impression of an economic recovery. There is no point in making an ethical judgment - work conditions are as they are. Just as workers at FoxConn likely have far better conditions than their peers, at least in their view, so do these temp workers view their life as better than the alternative, which is unemployment. It is, as they say, what it is.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The Keynesian (economic) approach, if ever a wise prescription for ‘economic doldrums’, euphemistically speaking (there are articles/studies/data that dispute the purported effectiveness of the widely hailed ‘Keynesian remedy’ during the prior great depression), the ‘Keynesian way’ is certainly no longer a prudent approach today in light of the insurmountable debt levels of nations worldwide and in america particularly along with the concomitant over-printed, debased ‘paper currencies’ to finance same. Quite simply, there simply is not enough real value being created for redistribution, a situation exacerbated by the parasitic lightening fast, computerized churn and earn high frequency trading programs on fraudulent wall street (they should be prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed for extant frauds in the trillions now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change). [ America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke …The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’.  43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge October 17, 2011 http://www.economist.com/content/global_debt_clock ] .This is the consequence of a structural shift fed by greed and misguided policy and cannot be undone (transfer of productive capacity to ie., China, etc., ‘the bell cannot be unrung’). That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist: War Is Widely Thought To Be Linked To Economic Good Times NONSENSE Washingtons Blog | Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy Washingtons Blog
November 1, 2011

‘Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy

Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman wrote yesterday:

Military spending does create jobs when the economy is depressed. Indeed, much of the evidence that Keynesian economics works comes from tracking the effects of past military buildups.

(Mr. Krugman has said the same thing many times in the past. And many other influential people havesaid the same thing.)

I am not a Nobel prize winning economist but Joseph Stiglitz is.

Stiglitz wrote in 2003:

War is widely thought to be linked to economic good times. The second world war is often said to have brought the world out of depression, and war has since enhanced its reputation as a spur to economic growth. Some even suggest that capitalism needs wars, that without them, recession would always lurk on the horizon.

Today, we know that this is nonsense. The 1990s boom showed that peace is economically far better than war. The Gulf war of 1991 demonstrated that wars can actually be bad for an economy.

Stiglitz has also said that this decades Iraq war has been very bad for the economy. See thisthis andthis.

A No-Brainer

This is a no-brainer, if you think about it.

Weve been in Afghanistan for almost twice as long as World War II. Weve been in Iraq for years longer than WWII. Weve been involved in 7 or 8 wars in the last decade. And yet still in a depression. (And see this).

If wars really helped the economy, dont you think things would have improved by now?

Indeed, the Iraq war alone could end up costing more than World War II. And given the other wars weve been involved in this decade, I believe that the total price tag for the so-called War on Terror will definitely support that of the Greatest War.

Additional Reasons War Is Bad for the Economy

The New Republic noted in 2009:

Conservative Harvard economist Robert Barro has argued that increased military spending during WWII actually depressed other parts of the economy.

Also from the right, Robert Higgs has done good work showing that military spendingwasnt the primary source of the recovery and that GDP growth during WWII has been greatly exaggerated.

And from the left, Larry Summers and Brad Delong argued back in 1988 that five-sixths of the decline in output relative to the trend that occurred during the Depression had been made up before 1942.

Economist James Galbraith has shown that war always causes inflation, which hurts the average American:

Inflation applies the law of the jungle to war finance. Prices and profits rise, wages and their purchasing power fall. Thugs, profiteers and the well connected get rich. Working people and the poor make out as they can. Savings erode, through the unseen mechanism of the inflation tax meaning that the government runs a big deficit in nominal terms, but a smaller one when inflation is factored in.

(Ben Bernanke says that inflation is a tax, and Dylan Grice notes that inflation causes societies to prosecute minorities.   And sorry but we cant inflate our way out of our debt trap.)

As I noted last year:

All of the spending on unnecessary wars adds up.

The U.S. is adding trillions to its debt burden to finance its multiple wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.

Two top American economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff show that the more indebted a country is, with a government debt/GDP ratio of 0.9, and external debt/GDP of 0.6 being critical thresholds, the more GDP growth drops materially.

Specifically, Reinhart and Rogoff write:

The relationship between government debt and real GDP growth is weak for debt/GDP ratios below a threshold of 90 percent of GDP. Above 90 percent, median growth rates fall by one percent, and average growth falls considerably more. We find that the threshold for public debt is similar in advanced and emerging economies

Indeed, it should be obvious to anyone who looks at the issue that deficits do matter.

A PhD economist [Michel Chossudovsky] told me:

War always causes recession. Well, if it is a very short war, then it may stimulate the economy in the short-run. But if there is not a quick victory and it drags on, then wars always put the nation waging war into a recession and hurt its economy.

You know about Americas unemployment problem. You may have even heard that the U.S. may very well have suffered a permanent destruction of jobs.

But did you know that the defense employment sector is booming?

As I pointed out in August, public sector spending and mainly defense spending has accounted for virtually all of the new job creation in the past 10 years:

The U.S. has largely been financing job creation for ten years. Specifically, as the chief economist for BusinessWeek, Michael Mandel, points out, public spending has accounted for virtually all new job creation in the past 10 years:

Private sector job growth was almost non-existent over the past ten years. Take a look at this horrifying chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs1.gif

Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period.

Its impossible to overstate how bad this is. Basically speaking, the private sector job machine has almost completely stalled over the past ten years. Take a look at this chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs2.gif

Over the past 10 years, the private sector has generated roughly 1.1 million additional jobs, or about 100K per year. The public sector created about 2.4 million jobs.

But even that gives the private sector too much credit. Remember that the private sector includes health care, social assistance, and education, all areas which receive a lot of government support.

***

Most of the industries which had positive job growth over the past ten years were in the HealthEdGov sector. In fact, financial job growth was nearly nonexistent once we take out the health insurers.

Let me finish with a final chart.

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs4.gif

Without a decade of growing government support from rising health and education spending and soaring budget deficits, the labor market would have been flat on its back.

Indeed, Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich lamented last year

Americas biggest and only major jobs program is the U.S. military.

Back to my essay:

Raw Story argues that the U.S. is building a largely military economy:

The use of the military-industrial complex as a quick, if dubious, way of jump-starting the economy is nothing new, but what is amazing is the divergence between the military economy and the civilian economy, as shown by this New York Times chart.

In the past nine years, non-industrial production in the US has declined by some 19 percent. It took about four years for manufacturing to return to levels seen before the 2001 recession and all those gains were wiped out in the current recession.

By contrast, military manufacturing is now 123 percent greater than it was in 2000 it has more than doubled while the rest of the manufacturing sector has been shrinking

Its important to note the trajectory the military economy is nearly three times as large, proportionally to the rest of the economy, as it was at the beginning of the Bush administration. And it is the only manufacturing sector showing any growth. Extrapolate that trend, and what do you get?

The change in leadership in Washington does not appear to be abating that trend[121]

So most of the job creation has been by the public sector. But because the job creation has been financed with loans from China and private banks, trillions in unnecessary interest charges have been incurred by the U.S.And this shows military versus non-military durable goods shipments:

http://marketoracle.co.uk/images/2010/Jan/us-collapse-18-11.gif

[Click here to view full image.]

So were running up our debt (which will eventually decrease economic growth), but the only jobs were creating are military and other public sector jobs.

PhD economist Dean Baker points out that Americas massive military spending on unnecessary and unpopular wars lowers economic growth and increasesunemployment:

Defense spending means that the government is pulling away resources from the uses determined by the market and instead using them to buy weapons and supplies and to pay for soldiers and other military personnel. In standard economic models, defense spending is a direct drain on the economy, reducing efficiency, slowing growth and costing jobs.

A few years ago, the Center for Economic and Policy Research commissioned Global Insight, one of the leading economic modeling firms, to project the impact of a sustained increase in defense spending equal to 1.0 percentage point of GDP. This was roughly equal to the cost of the Iraq War.

Global Insights model projected that after 20 years the economy would be about 0.6 percentage points smaller as a result of the additional defense spending. Slower growth would imply a loss of almost 700,000 jobs compared to a situation in which defense spending had not been increased. Construction and manufacturing were especially big job losers in the projections, losing 210,000 and 90,000 jobs, respectively.

The scenario we asked Global Insight [recognized as the most consistentlyaccurate forecasting company in the world] to model turned out to have vastly underestimated the increase in defense spending associated with current policy. In the most recent quarter, defense spending was equal to 5.6 percent of GDP. By comparison, before the September 11th attacks, the Congressional Budget Office projected that defense spending in 2009 would be equal to just 2.4 percent of GDP. Our post-September 11th build-up was equal to 3.2 percentage points of GDP compared to the pre-attack baseline. This means that the Global Insight projections of job loss are far too low

The projected job loss from this increase in defense spending would be close to 2 million. In other words, the standard economic models that project job loss from efforts to stem global warming also project that the increase in defense spending since 2000 will cost the economy close to 2 million jobs in the long run.

The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst has also shown that non-military spending creates more jobs than military spending.

So were running up our debt which will eventually decrease economic growth and creating many fewer jobs than if we spent the money on non-military purposes.

As I wrote last year:

It is ironic that Americas huge military spending is what made us an empire but our huge military is what is bankrupting us thus destroying our status as an empire.

Even Admiral Mullen seems to agree:

The Pentagon needs to cut back on spending.

Were going to have to do that if its going to survive at all, Mullen said, and do it in a way that is predictable.

Indeed, Mullen said:

For industry and adequate defense funding to survive the two must work together. Otherwise, he added, this wave of debt will carry over from year to year, and eventually, the defense budget will be cut just to facilitate the debt.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates agrees as well. As David Ignatius wrote in the Washington Post in May:

After a decade of war and financial crisis, America has run up debts that pose a national security problem, not just an economic one.

***

One of the strongest voices arguing for fiscal responsibility as a national security issue has been Defense Secretary Bob Gates. He gave a landmark speech in Kansas on May 8, invoking President Dwight Eisenhowers warnings about the dangers of an imbalanced military-industrial state.

Eisenhower was wary of seeing his beloved republic turn into a muscle-bound, garrison state militarily strong, but economically stagnant and strategically insolvent, Gates said. He warned that America was in a parlous fiscal condition and that the gusher of military spending that followed Sept. 11, 2001, must be capped. We cant have a strong military if we have a weak economy, Gates told reporters who covered the Kansas speech.

On Thursday the defense secretary reiterated his pitch that Congress must stop shoveling money at the military, telling Pentagon reporters: The defense budget process should no longer be characterized by business as usual within this building or outside of it.

While some might want to start another war, Americas top military leaders and economists say that would be a very bad idea.

Indeed, military strategists have known for 2,500 years that prolonged wars are disastrous.

Note 1: Security experts conservative hawks and liberal doves alike agree that waging war in the Middle East weakens national security and increases terrorism. See thisthisthisthisthisthis and this.

Terrorism in turn terrorism is bad for the economy.  Specifically, a study by Harvard and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) points out:

From an economic standpoint, terrorism has been described to have four main effects (see, e.g., US Congress, Joint Economic Committee, 2002). First, the capital stock (human and physical) of a country is reduced as a result of terrorist attacks. Second, the terrorist threat induces higher levels of uncertainty. Third, terrorism promotes increases in counter-terrorism expenditures, drawing resources from productive sectors for use in security. Fourth, terrorism is known to affect negatively specific industries such as tourism.

The Harvard/NBER concludes:

In accordance with the predictions of the model, higher levels of terrorist risks are associated with lower levels of net foreign direct investment positions, even after controlling for other types of country risks. On average, a standard deviation increase in the terrorist risk is associated with a fall in the net foreign direct investment position of about 5 percent of GDP.

So the more unnecessary wars American launches and the more innocent civilians we kill, the less foreign investment in America, the more destruction to our capital stock, the higher the level of uncertainty, the more counter-terrorism expenditures and the less expenditures in more productive sectors, and the greater the hit to tourism and some other industries.

Moreover:

Terrorism has contributed to a decline in the global economy (for example, European Commission, 2001).

So military adventurism increases terrorism which hurts the world economy. And see this.

Note 2: True conservatives are anti-war.’

On September 22, 2011 I spoke with FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and with whom I had discussed the matters of which you are aware; and which matters are well within Washington's ability to easily resolve what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law quite some time ago. It is difficult to imagine the u.s. government solving the gargantuan, nation-destructive problems confronting the nation when through typical corruption, meaningful lawlessness, lack of will, etc., have chosen not to solve my matter as related to you in accordance with clear law and which would clearly be the right thing to do at long last.
Previously I wrote to thank you for thinking of me and for the courtesy extended. However, in all honesty, with rare exceptions (ie., maybe 'post-cards'?, etc.), I don't use the usps that I've found so unreliable. The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up and as pertains to the usps! As I've previously related to you, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

U.S. Postal Service nearing bankruptcy as email asserts its dominance [Good! Let UPS take them over . the usps is totally unreliable]

Drudgereport: BROKE: POST OFFICE SYSTEM MAY SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY THIS WINTER... [Good! Let UPS take them over . the usps is totally unreliable]
Postal Service warns it could default.[ No surprise here .. the usps is totally unreliable! ] ...
Post Office proposes cutting 120,000 jobs, pulling out of healthcare plan .[ Let UPS take over the usps! ]...



Unions angry over Postal Service cuts They said any move to break labor contracts to lay off 120,000 would hurt the already ailing movement. (Washington Post) [ I reiterate my call for the well managed, efficient, and reliable company, UPS to take over the operation of the poorly managed, inefficient, and unreliable USPS. Postal Service seekin! g 20 percent staff cut EXCLUSIVE | In cost-cutting bid, USPS also proposes withdrawing employees from existing health and retirement plans and creating its own benefit programs. Congress would need to sign off. (Washington Post) [ I think it's a great idea. Indeed, 50% would be substantially better. Even better yet, UPS should take over their entire operation. After all, UPS is well managed and efficient; and also, very reliable. On the other hand, the USPS is poorly managed, inefficient, and very unreliable:

This cover letter (9-13-10) is on the 3 disks with navigable hyperlinks to the subject files for ease of reference, including the files in the RICO action as indicated. (10-15-10) I spoke with Rose, FBI, ADIC Secretary, who indicates once again that your office has not received the aforesaid and which can reasonably be presumed to have been tampered with, and hence, a violation of the federal statute concerning same.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:
The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:
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:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer's browser) as per your office's request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I've installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named '112208opocoan'). The (civil) RICO action (as you're aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and at! torney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims pr obably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).


Th! e document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].


The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI's LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meetin! g and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter w as assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did - he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? - and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation - Andrew Maloney's the one that prosecuted gotti).


In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,



* 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 o! f Connecticut, who denied Coan's requested relief as to Coan but precl uded 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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'.



There is applicable ins! urance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

On September 22, 2011 I spoke with FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and with whom I had discussed the matters of which you are aware; and which matters are well within Washington's ability to easily resolve what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law quite some time ago. It is difficult to imagine the u.s. government solving the gargantuan, nation-destructive problems confronting the nation when through typical corruption, meaningful lawlessness, lack of will, etc., have chosen not to solve my matter as related to you in accordance with clear law and which would clearly be the right thing to do at long last.
Previously I wrote to thank you for thinking of me and for the courtesy extended. However, in all honesty, with rare exceptions (ie., maybe 'post-cards'?, etc.), I don't use the usps that I've found so unreliable. The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up and as pertains to the usps! As I've previously related to you, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

U.S. Postal Service nearing bankruptcy as email asserts its dominance [Good! Let UPS take them over . the usps is totally unreliable]

Drudgereport: BROKE: POST OFFICE SYSTEM MAY SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY THIS WINTER... [Good! Let UPS take them over . the usps is totally unreliable]
Postal Service warns it could default.[ No surprise here .. the usps is totally unreliable! ] ...
Post Office proposes cutting 120,000 jobs, pulling out of healthcare plan .[ Let UPS take over the usps! ]...



Unions angry over Postal Service cuts They said any move to break labor contracts to lay off 120,000 would hurt the already ailing movement. (Washington Post) [ I reiterate my call for the well managed, efficient, and reliable company, UPS to take over the operation of the poorly managed, inefficient, and unreliable USPS. Postal Service seekin! g 20 percent staff cut EXCLUSIVE | In cost-cutting bid, USPS also proposes withdrawing employees from existing health and retirement plans and creating its own benefit programs. Congress would need to sign off. (Washington Post) [ I think it's a great idea. Indeed, 50% would be substantially better. Even better yet, UPS should take over their entire operation. After all, UPS is well managed and efficient; and also, very reliable. On the other hand, the USPS is poorly managed, inefficient, and very unreliable:

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.).

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:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer's browser) as per your office's request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I've installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named '112208opocoan'). The (civil) RICO action (as you're aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and at! torney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims pr obably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).


Th! e document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].


The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI's LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meetin! g and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter w as assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did - he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? - and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation - Andrew Maloney's the one that prosecuted gotti).


In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,



* 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 o! f Connecticut, who denied Coan's requested relief as to Coan but precl uded 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://albertpeia/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 B! each, 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, 3rd 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'.



There is applicable ins! urance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Krauthammer: Why Abbas went to the U.N. (Washington Post) [ Maybe Mr. Krauthammer should just ask him why Im sure hed get an earful of sound reasons. Then again, maybe Mr. Krauthammer might not be listening; after all, as a jewish man himself, hed certainly find himself within the exceedingly small minority of jewish people who would (listen certainly not the israeli lobby nor capital hill which the perspicacious Pat Buchanan has correctly observed as being occupied israeli territory). Yet, somewhere along Mr. Krauthammers timeline / history he conveniently but not surprisingly forgets what was already decided, yet never lived up to. After all (once again), if military-oriented warring states as israel are through aggression permitted to retain by superior military power the benefits of war, there would be no end to war; as in israels case, it would always pay to go to war. No one could rationally support such an irrational and untenable position. Hence: UN Resolutions 242 and 338  http://reut-institute.org/Publication.aspx?PublicationId=541  (I used the Reut Institute, an israeli organization, reference so as to preclude any accusation of anti-israeli bias).  This term refers to UN Security Council Resolutions that lay the foundation for the Israeli-Palestinian political process, based on territorial compromise and a solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees.

Definition

The term UN Resolutions 242 and 338 refers to two resolutions approved by the UN Security Council. Resolution 242 was approved after the 1967 war (11/67) while Resolution 338 was approved during the 1973 war (10/73).

Background

UN Resolutions 242 and 338 call for the peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict through territorial compromise. The acceptance of the Resolutions by Arab elements indicates their recognition of Israel.

The political process between Israel and the Arabs - including the 1978 Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt (9/78), the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty (3/79), the Madrid Conference (10/91), the Peace Treaty between Israel and Jordan (10/94), and the structure of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process since 9/93 - is founded on these Resolutions.

Content of Resolutions

The main articles of UN Security Council Resolution 242 (11/67) call for:

  • Withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the 1967 war.
  • Termination of the state of belligerency.
  • Mutual "acknowledgement of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area, and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force."
  • Achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem.

Resolution 338 (10/73) reiterates the importance of Resolution 242, and calls upon the sides to begin negotiations with the aim of achieving a just and durable peace.

Interpretations

The interpretation of the resolutions is the object of political and legal controversy primarily regarding two points:

Extent of Israeli withdrawal - The first article of Resolution 242 is an object of controversy because of differences in wording between the English and the French versions of the text. The English version talks about Israeli withdrawal "from territories...", while the French version talks about Israeli withdrawal "from the territories" (des territories...). Thus, the addition of the word "the" in the French version implies that Israel is required to withdraw from all the occupied territories.

Solution to the refugee problem - UN Resolution 242 talks about a "just settlement" to the refugee problem without addressing the specific solution that appears in UN General Assembly resolution 194. Arab countries, as well as others, interpret Resolution 194 as the basis for the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees1. Hence, they argue that Resolution 194 is the interpretation of a "just settlement" that appears in Resolution 242. However, because Resolution 242 does not specifically mention 194, Israel does not interpret it as harboring the "right of return" and therefore sees it as a possible basis for the solution to the refugee problem.

 

 

Some more history:

The Balfour Declaration of 1917 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration_of_1917#cite_note-1 (dated 2 November 1917) was a letter from the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Baron Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild), a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland.

His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."[1]

The statement was issued through the efforts of Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, the principal Zionist leaders based in London; as they had asked for the reconstitution of Palestine as the Jewish national home, the declaration fell short of Zionist expectations.[2]

 

[Yeahthose zionist expectations can really be a bi**ch / deal-breakers when searching for peaceful resolutions! ]

 

As a former Doctor of Psychiatry, I’m sure Mr. Krauthammer might appreciate the last portion of this comment, infra: Abbas announces U.N. member bid Move appears to seal fate of U.S. efforts to broker a deal to resume Israeli-Palestinian talks. (Washington Post) [ U.S. (israeli) efforts? Resume infinite talks? Is this some parallel universe they’re operating in? Let’s apply the Einstein definition to such a preposterous position promulgated by the u.s. / israelis: ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’ Time for action regarding this long overdue independent statehood which should be ‘fate accomplis’! U.N. showdown could test U.S. role in Mideast One week before a United Nations vote over Palestinian statehood, the Obama administration is confronting the stark new limits of its influence. (Washington Post) [  What role? As israel’s mouthpiece? War, war, and more war? Death, destruction, and self-defeat including defacto bankruptcy for the u.s.? Fomenting anti-american sentiment? What role? The role the israeli lobby says is appropriate for america? How foolish america has been! Anxieties mount over Palestinian statehood bid (WP) [ And anxieties mount over no statehood bid! What gives here! Only ‘yesterday’ (not long ago), hillary clinton was talking about the need for and appropriateness of same. Has the israeli lobby, so costly and detrimental to american interests here and abroad, given her and hers a ‘talking to’? . U.S. vetoes Security Council resolution denouncing Israeli settlements (WP) [ Drudgereport: Hillary Clinton: Israeli Settlements 'Illegitimate'… [We know that hill … We’ve known that for quite some time along with their illegal nukes, war crimes, etc…The whole world knows that so don’t just talk about it,DO SOMETHING!]..pervasively corrupt, defacto america’s self-defeating,self-destructive way U.S. vetoes Security Council resolution denouncing Israeli settlements Sounds like a plan!..for self-destruction! ] Israel's fear (WP)[Wake up! Illegal nuke totin’, war crimes nation israel’s fears-p l e a s e, spare me the pro-israeli b*** s*** ! What israel fears is a projection of their own ill-founded motives/actions for which all norms, rules, laws governing civilized behavior are suspended for expedience at the least, and blood-thirst that some posit as a remnant of their historic role as Christ-killers(with roman ‘juice’).  Isn’t it time, in these desperate times for america, to put u.s., not israel’s interests, first.Who cares what israel fears!In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States!     Israel wary of transition in Egypt, concerned about regional stability (Washington Post) [ Who cares what the paranoid, war criminal, illegal nuke totin’, war criminal israelis are wary of. This country has gone down the tubes cow-towing to the paranoid, self-interested concerns of the psycho / sociopathic zionist israelis who are forever projecting their own pathological motives to every turn of history while ignoring their own culpability in producing the very outcomes they purportedly seek to avoid. War, conflict, greed, bloodshed is the historically based israeli way. ]   A resurgent Syria alarms u.s., israel (Washington Post) [  Tell me! What doesn’t alarm these two paranoid, zionist neo-nazi regimes of oppression, suppression, aggression, and regression. If they were individuals, they’d undoubtedly be diagnosed as psychopaths, sociopaths totally ignorant of the rights of others, laws, civilized behavior as israel pads her illegal nuke arsenals with american supplied weaponry / support while expecting all other nations to ‘role over and die’. Bipolar / manic / depressive, the ups and downs are increasingly difficult for even americans to follow. Obsessive / compulsive thy names are zionist israel / america. Projection / displacement regarding their own illegal acts, war crimes, etc.; what they distinguished from what they do … dissociative identity disorder, (dissociative) psychogenic fugue? Yes … the u.s. and israel are the world’s lunatics, sorely in need of therapy! ]  Syria's fresh interference in Lebanon and its increasingly sophisticated weapons shipments to Hezbollah have alarm officials and prompt Israel's military to consider striking a Syrian weapons depot.
Editorial: Russia and China’s cowardly vetoes (Washington Post) [ How sad … for the editorial board of this newspaper … While there may have been a time when such an observation might have been appropriate, that certainly isn’t so today; nor has it been otherwise so for quite some time. After all, what nation is invading other nations; killing, pillaging, and plundering for the sake of alignment with a regime for which propaganda has displaced even basic historic truths in covering their trail of warring destruction; ie., the coup d’etat / JFK assassination leaving the military industrial complex to their own (self-perpetuating) devices (more conflict / war for bigger budgets / corporate welfare) as warned against by the great though substantially underrated President General Eisenhower. I also must say that there’s been a curious ‘coincidence’ to ‘censor’ of my comments relating the militance of israel and that american faction so detrimental to this nation and the world to the point that complaints about same have been futile and no longer made by me. With the longevity of newspapers already (and quite recently) predictably diminished (obsolescence, agendas, censor, etc.), one would have ‘expected something more’ in terms of the right thing, the honorable thing to do on the way out. Russia, China block Syria resolution They cast a rare double veto on the U.N. Security Council to block a draft resolution condemning Syria for its crackdown. (Washington Post) [ Yes; and even rarer was the rationality that went into such a double veto vote. After all, you don’t see the oppressive, repressive ‘nation state’ (? … family owned? … what’s up with that?) Saudi Arabia treated like Syria. Drugereport: Clashes in Saudi Arabia leave 14 wounded...
Police open fire on civilians... [But this is ok because saudi arabia’s a doormat for israeli/u.s. interests]

[Yeahthose zionist expectations can really be a bi**ch / deal-breakers when searching for peaceful resolutions! ]

Rubin: How about OWS’s anti-Semitism? (Washington Post) [ When I first saw this headline I thought, zionist robert rubin’s retort; then expected a reference to failed secretary of treasury as he was, Hank Paulsen, a ‘Christian Scientist’. From the consequences of his disastrous reign and bailouts of the perpetrators of history’s largest frauds by far (bush’s base, ie., that 1%, etc.), to the detriment of the 99%, the rest of this nation, and the world; with no prosecutions, adding insult (to intelligence, etc.) to irrevocable injury, one might have though paulsen to have literally been a scientist of Christianity wherein he studied the effects of imposing (not vows of but real) poverty upon the Christian populace. While numbers can manipulated, and there are those stereotypes of greed, unscrupulous money hunger, ‘shylocks’, etc., ( I invite attention to the very worthy, well produced, documented video ‘Esoteric Agenda’ http://www.albertpeia.com/esotericagenda.flv  which discusses the rothchild banking cabal ), it’s really difficult to dismiss entirely the hugely disproportionate representation among the frauds on wall street {many unprosecuted courtesy of ‘goldman sachs’, etc., clout). Then again, one can’t really say ‘anti-semitic’ because the reference does not pertain to Arabs who are also Semites. It’s analogous to my own dilemma regarding the disportionate deleterious effect of corrupt jewish federal judges (ie., shiff, matz, etc.), trustees (panel, ie., coan), etc., relative to that of the corrupt Christian judges (ie., trump, hall, etc.), and trustee (ie., martini, leonard, etc.), and of the original RICO defendants (italian dogs, etc.) who payed their bribes through, ie., trump casinos, etc., and even directly, ie., private ‘retention’ of hugh leonard, u.s. trustee, and of all things, with (cia favored) illegal drug money at that. } So, while not totally logical, one might say in broader strokes given limited resources, not irrational either. After all, in my own experience, jews have favored jews over non-jews as myself, despite being contrary to facts and law. But, as well, Italian dogs as, ie., alito, etc. (and, God knows I loved and respected my Grandmother who was 100% Italian, and Grandfather, Como, Italy but of ancestral Greek origins) (yet I consider those seaside heights greeks dogs too!) , seem to have favored italian mobsters over me (I hate the mob!), which quid pro quo seems to have worked out well for alito and german trump. http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   and   http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     ]

Lewis: What would MLK say to Obama?  (Washington Post) [ He’d say not color of skin, but that ‘content of character thing’ should at least start at the DOJ under fellow black Holder. I mean, who would take them seriously if it didn’t!  UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '.    White House turns attention to blacks Focus comes amid a growing concern that economic conditions might hamper black voter turnout. (Washington Post) [ As if we couldn’t see that coming. Yet, the ‘make-work, make-shift’ jobs already extant in the federal, state, local ‘public service’ sectors along with the otherwise unemployable at, ie., the u.s. postal service, etc., are uneconomic and overly costly (Drudgereport: Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job... ) at best and downright wasteful at worst, the latter being the most prevalent scenario. Moreover, despite the rhetoric, blacks will always ‘back the black’. No criteria. No analysis. ‘Back the black’ their despoiling cry. I think wobama and holder are probably more concerned with making sure the ‘black panthers’ are in full force at the polls to intimidate white voters, which racism they’ve given ‘carte blanche’, protection from prosecution … UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '. With wobama et als, the jive-talking b***s*** never ends!     Robinson: King’s dream remains unrealized  (Washington Post) [ Yeah! That ‘content of their character’ thing’s a b***ch to live up to … just don’t measure up! What’s a white person to do, especially when black atty. General Holder with Obama’s tacit approval is racist himself (themselves)  UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims '.

Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical! ]

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing  (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous.

I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

I think he’s correct, using most of his words: Obama can’t win  NATO’s success in Libya proves that no good Obama .. goes unpunished. I mean come on, with ie., war crimes nation israel and despotic saudi arabia unscathed; not to mention the defacto bankruptcy of all members of the ‘nato alliance’ and america’s particularly among their war crimes, who’s kidding whom? Yes, it’s true … obama / nato can’t win while they’re unequivocally losing!  Saying otherwise no longer means it’s true!  Poll puts Obama in dead heat with 4 GOP contenders (Washington Post) [ Wow! … I don’t know about that … seems hard to reconcile that poll with wobama’s record low approval ratings consonant with wobama’s record low performance consonant with the nation’s record low prospects in large part owing to wobama’s non-performance by deviating from campaign promises; and hence, his consequent consummate performance as ‘bush failure 3’.

Then those fightin’ words from ‘the great prevaricator’ … (to GOP) unite behind his jobs bill or get ready to be run "out of town" … shows his disconnect with reality and proclivity for rhetoric / b***s*** since it’s he who should and will be ‘run out of town on a rail’.

[ This is quite incorrect! I’m not saying don’t target the Bilderbergers, CFR, the Trilateral Commission, and the Federal Reserve, etc.; but, for the most part, they are ‘frauds fait accomplis’, as ie., in accordance with the adgage ‘behind every fortune, a crime’ (subject to very few exceptions, ie., ‘the late, great Steve Jobs’ (bill gates is not among those exceptions). They (Alex Jones, et als) ignore, owing to their lack of ‘real world experience’, organized crime of its ‘various flavors’, ethnicities, even cabals / niches within government. The fact is and remains, as with politics (O’Neil), all crime is ultimately local. You must always prosecute the proximate crime causing the proximate harm without fail (nominal crimes as, ie., marijuana possession, should take a back seat to distribution, ie., cia, cartels, bribery, etc., given limited resources, budgetary constraints. After all, given the u.s. government’s involvement in the distribution aspects of the illegal drug business, ie., cocaine, etc., cia, etc., possession/use falls into the nebulous realm of civic / patriotic duty?). Only by so doing will you ultimately get those higher up on the criminal food chain who are ‘protected’ by layers of corrupt bureaucracy as is pervasive in american government / society, federal, state, and local. ]Don’t Let Obama Campaign Fronts Infiltrate OWS – Occupy The Fed Paul Joseph Watson | Join Alex Jones to strike a crushing blow against the true financial oligarchy.

Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. “From what I’ve seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agency’s chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law.” Agency staff “destroyed over 9,000 files” related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past year’s work.

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims).. 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 DAs 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 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 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 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA.

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

 

Ron Paul, the alternative candidate, is a force to be reckoned with He fears that America is turning into an Orwellian police state. Yet the obstetrician-turned-politician’s life could be described as the American Dream. (Washington Post) [ Yes, indeed! And, make no mistake, this is no paranoid delusion (as a Doc he at least knows what that means) on his part; but rather comports with a very grim reality even more ominous and real given the precarious state of the nation / world and the vulnerabilities of societies in light thereof. "Guantánamo Forever?" - Congress Passes $662 Billion Defense Bill, Aka The NDAACongress just passed the National Defense Authorization Act in a 283-to-136 vote. 190 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted for; 43 Republicans and 93 Democrats voted "against."

Time to give the Doc(s) a chance! A country Doctor sounds about what the nation needs in light of what ails it. That ‘lawyers are liars’ is almost tantamount in terms of reality to status as a proverb. Moreover, I’ve found they’re unable to count (an ability sorely wanting in Washington), and very vindictive when they’ve been shown (they’re adept at and love cover-ups) to be wrong or to have messed up (which is often) from my direct experience: Parker: Gingrich’s tone-deaf remarks on the poor  (Washington Post) [..sharpton?.. http://albertpeia.com/tawana.htm - I wrote this angry having just been mugged by 4 blacks/2 hispanics here in LA, along with the anti-white predisposition of blacks..Yet, in sharpton’s and partner mason’s ‘legal’ (illegal) heyday, I actually represented a black man, a walk-in/recently out of the army, whose unfortunate accident with his (owned) truck left him in arrears/default on his mortgage, which suit came before the late Honorable (among the few in jersey) U.S.D.C. Judge Sarokin (Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter case) upon my motion for failing to meet the amount in controversy, $75,000 –strictly construed, plaintiff midlantic bancorporation’s counsel miscounted and was off by less than $300. [ Some lawyers can’t count or do anything right: This is from a reply to the Congresswoman Roybal-Allard’s query ‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan (missed a filing date) is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted on my website)…regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety .. [.. a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that had been entered in my favor in the case, USDC #3:93cv02065(AWT)(USDCJ Alvin Thompson), worth approximately now in excess of $300,000 remains unaccounted for ..; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] ..should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process.. the government’s ability to resolve.. results do count! .. ] 

In state superior court, we opened, then on cross of their first ‘expert’ witness (regarding the amounts due), I moved to dismiss and strike the testimony for having failed and being unable to qualify said witness (owing to a very parochial and strict state rule of evidence in jersey – he had no other such witness for said purpose). The Honorable (among the few in jersey) Judge Weiss was inclined to rule accordingly, took us in chambers and strongly suggested opposing counsel call his client bank to sanction a favorable settlement to my client. The point is, I’m not a racist nor prejudiced. I am objective. I did ‘pay a big price’ for embarrassing the bank’s counsel; and, they made sure I knew it... so slimy is newt’s patronizing ‘showing up on Monday‘ remark that I’m constrained to ask, ‘is that what gingrich recently did for the $37 million from corporate “favor-seekers”?’. Or is it more likely he didn’t have to show up at all? The latter’s the reality.. the ‘mobster trump thing’ (corrupt sister maryanne trump barry, newly appointed,did corrupt a RICO action in which hundreds of thousands of illegal (drug) funds were being laundered through her brother’s casinos yet wouldn’t recuse herself despite my motion (http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     ).

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

The effects of these negative predispositions toward inherent criminality is certainly being felt globally as well as domestically and has little to recommend it.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

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

Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke (a must read) | ‘Vast numbers of people across the world, including many who should know better, have been duped by the mind-game called Operation Obama... (excerpts) Obama has been the chosen one for a long time, a fact known only to a few in the deep inner circle, and his relationship with Brzezinski almost certainly goes back to the start of the 1980s when he attended the Ivy League, and big-time Illuminati, Columbia University where Brzezinski was head of the Institute for Communist Affairs. Obama simply will not talk in any detail about this period. He has been covertly funded and supported ever since by the Trilateral Commission and its network of foundations connecting into the Ford Foundation, for whom Obama's mother worked. And a question: Does anyone really believe that someone, a 'man of the people', would simply appear from apparently nowhere to run the slickest and best-funded presidential campaign in American history? He was chosen long ago by those who wish to enslave the very people that Obama says he wants to 'set free'. The sources of Obama funding read like a Wall Street Who's Who - Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and so on. No wonder he went back on his pledge to accept the limitations of public funding for his campaign and instead took the no-limit option of 'private fundingThen there is the Jewish financier, George Soros, the multi-billionaire associate of Brzezinski and closely involved with the funding and marketing of Obama. Soros is a former board member of the Illuminati's Council on Foreign Relations and funds the European Council on Foreign Relations. In short, he is a major insider' You can certainly see the Soros/Brzezinski techniques in the Obama 'revolution' in the United States. It was the complex and secretive network of Soros foundations and organisations, connected to the intelligence agencies of the US and Israel, that trained and funded students in the Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere in the art of mass protest and overthrowing governments. These manufactured protests were sold to the world as peoples' revolutions, but it just so happened that when they were over and the old regime was removed the new leaders were those waiting in the wings all along - the puppets of Soros, Brzezinski and their associated networks. Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by the Illuminati networks that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding. It was they who kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine allegations of Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), and they will continue to do so as long as he jumps to their bidding.

BOOK WARNS OF END... BOOK WARNS OF END
Fri Oct 14 2011 07:00:25 ET

**Exclusive**

"As the faith that gave birth to the West is dying in the West, peoples of European descent from the steppes of Russia to the coast of California have begun to die out, as the Third World treks north to claim the estate. The last decade provided corroborating if not conclusive proof that we are in the Indian Summer of our civilization."

So begins Pat Buchanan in his hardcore work, SUICIDE OF A SUPERPOWER.

"Will America Survive to 2025?"

Buchanan, set for maximum controversy, launches all rockets at introduction "Disintegrating Nation" -- and does not let up for 400-plus pages.

"America is disintegrating. The centrifugal forces pulling us apart are growing inexorably. What unites us is dissolving. And this is true of Western Civilization....Meanwhile, the state is failing in its most fundamental duties. It is no longer able to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars."

The books reads as if its been written to be left behind in the ruins, only to be found by a future civilization.

SUICIDE ranked #2,668 on AMAZON's hit parade early Friday. It streets on Tuesday.

Now only the DRUDGE REPORT can offer a look inside.



Chapter 1: The Passing of a Superpower

“We have accepted today the existence in perpetuity of a permanent underclass of scores of millions who cannot cope and must be carried by society -- fed, clothed, housed, tutored, medicated at taxpayer’s expense their entire lives. We have a dependent nation the size of Spain in our independent America. We have a new division in our country, those who pay a double or triple fare, and those who ride forever free.”

Chapter 2. The End of Christian America

If [Christopher] Dawson is correct, the drive to de-Christianize America, to purge Christianity from the public square, public schools and public life, will prove culturally and socially suicidal for the nation.

“The last consequence of a dying Christianity is a dying people. Not one post-Christian nation has a birth rate sufficient to keep it alive....The death of European Christianity means the disappearance of the European tribe, a prospect visible in the demographic statistics of every Western nation.”

Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism

“Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand.”

“How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman’s right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?”

Chapter 4. The End of White America

“[W]hite America is an endangered species. By 2020, whites over 65 will out-number those 17 and under. Deaths will exceed births. The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear.”

Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being over-turned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution -- to “insure domestic tranquility” and ‘make us a more perfect union’? Or have we imperiled our union?” (Page 134)

Chapter 5. Demographic Winter

“Peoples of European descent are not only in a relative but a real decline. They are aging, dying, disappearing. This is the existential crisis of the West.” (Page 166)

“Not any Iranian weapon of mass destruction but demography is the existential crisis Israel faces....By mid-century...Palestinians west of the Jordan river will out-number Jews 2-1. Add Palestinians in Jordan, it is 3-1.”

“In a startling development of history, Russia’s population has fallen from 148 million in 1991 to 140 million today and is projected to plunge to 116 million by 2050, a loss of 32 million Russians in six decades.”

Chapter 6. Equality Vs. Freedom

“Those who would change society begin by changing the meaning of words. At Howard University, LBJ changed the meaning of equality from the attainable -- an end to segregation and a legislated equality of rights for African-Americans -- to the impossible: a socialist utopia.”

“Where equality is enthroned, freedom is extinguished. The rise of the egalitarian society means the death of the free society.”

“A time for truth. As most kids do not have the athletic ability to play high school sports, or the musical ability to play in the band, or the verbal ability to excel in debate, not every child has the academic ability to do high school work. No two children are created equal, not even identical twins. The family is the incubator of inequality and God its author.”

Chapter 7. The Diversity Cult

“The non-Europeanization of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality,” Wattenberg trilled.4 Yet, one wonders: What kind of man looks with transcendental joy to a day when the people among whom he was raised have become a minority in a nation where the majority rules?”

“Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World.”

Chapter 8: The Triumph Of Tribalism

America’s war of revenge against Japan was a race war. Newsreels, movies, magazines, comic books, headlines treated “Japs” as a repulsive race whose extermination would benefit mankind....Only well after the war was over was it re-branded a war to bring the blessings of democracy to...Japan.

We may deny the existence of ethnonationalism, detest it, condemn it. But this creator and destroyer of empires and nations is a force infinitely more powerful than globalism, for it engages the heart. Men will die for it. Religion, race, culture and tribe are the four horsemen of the coming apocalypse.

Chapter 9. ‘The White Party’

“Through its support of mass immigration, its paralysis in power to prevent 12-20 million illegal aliens from entering and staying, its failure to address the “anchor-baby” issue, the Republican Party has birthed a new electorate that will send it the way of the Whigs.”

Chapter 10: The Long Retreat

“We borrow from Europe to defend Europe. We borrow from the Gulf states to defend the Gulf states. We borrow from Japan to defend Japan. Is it not a symptom of senility to be borrowing from the world so we can defend the world?”

“Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?” …’

 

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

 

 

 

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

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Dear Sirs / Madams:

 

If this were any other topic I would not trouble you. Yet, the comment concerning SOPA; and hence, censorship, failed to post in each of the seven or so articles I attempted to post to despite being within the 3000 word constraint. Moreover, my other comments this day posted without a hitch. What’s more disconcerting is that from a brief perusal, the prominent articles displayed seem to favor the legislation which I believe as does EFF to be dangerous at best and disastrous at worst. I believe the EFF’s position and concerns to be genuine. Quite simply, from direct experience, the u.s. government cannot be trusted to do the right thing and their reflexive inclination is to cover up what is not (I think you remember Watergate, etc.). That’s neither alarmist nor exaggeration; but rather, reality, and I have and there is a plethora of factual documentation to back that up!

 

Please advise and / or rectify.

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

Signed: Albert L. Peia           Dated: 11-18-11

 

 

The comment / post:

 

 

Anybody who does not oppose any government’s attempt to censor and worse as in this bill is a complete and utter fool. Among the few positives america has been able to point to relative to, ie., china, etc., such freedom if curtailed will herald a hastening of the demise of this nation as we knew it; even worse than the dismal future portended as a direct consequence of those who favor this regression. After all, what is ‘democracy’ without such free speech rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and envisioned by the founders of this nation.

 

I am deeply concerned by the danger these bills pose to Internet security,free speech online,and innovation. The Internet Blacklist Legislation is dangerous/short-sighted, and I urge you to join Senator Wyden and other members of Congress,such as Representatives Lofgren, Eshoo and Issa, in opposing it.

The Internet Blacklist Legislation - known as PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and StopOnlinePiracyAct(SOPA) in the House-is a threatening sequel to last year's COICA Internet censorship bill.  Like its predecessor, this legislation invites Internet security risks, threatens online speech, and hampers Internet innovation. Urge your members of Congress to reject this Internet blacklist campaign in both its forms!

Big media and its allies in Congress are billing the Internet Blacklist Legislation as a new way to prevent online infringement. But innovation and free speech advocates know that this initiative is nothing more than a dangerous wish list that will compromise Internet security while doing little or nothing to encourage creative expression.

As drafted, the legislation would grant the government and private parties unprecedented power to interfere with the Internet's domain name system (DNS). The government would be able to force ISPs&search engines to redirect or dump users' attempts to reach certain websites' URLs. In response, third parties will woo average users to alternative servers that offer access to the entire Internet (not just the newly censored U.S. version), which will create new computer security vulnerabilities as the reliability and universality of the DNS evaporates.

It gets worse: Under SOPA's provisions, service providers (including hosting services) would be under new pressure to monitor and police their users activities.  While PROTECT-IP targeted sites dedicated to infringing activities, SOPA targets websites that simply dont do enough to track and police infringement (it is not at all clear what would be enough).It creates new powers to shut down folks who provide tools to help users get access to the Internet the rest of the world sees (not just theU.S. authorized version). 

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has placed a hold on the Senate version, taking a principled stand against a very dangerous bill. Every Senator/Rep should be opposing the PROTECT IP Act and SOPA. https://www.eff.org

Ex-Penn State coach Sandusky jailed on new child sex abuse charges based on 2 new  (Washington Post) [ I glad to see more victims of this ‘self-promoted, self-created, self-styled, frolicking, fun-loving man-child’ come forward. It’s difficult to imagine much less discuss sandusky’s unmistakably heinous, sordid and disgusting activities which also bespeak abuse of power / position and breach of trust. Yet, aren’t these latter despicable characteristics now inextricably entwined with what is now fundamentally an evolved inherent american trait / character flaw that has persisted and grown through a corruption of all processes / values and sheer lack of courage? 

Penn States McQueary is shaken  EARLY LEAD | In e-mails, assistant who allegedly witnessed attack by Sandusky says, I did the right thing  (Washington Post) [ But not stirred, as in giving sandusky a well-deserved punch in the jaw. He did, however, do the right thing and within the law. After all, given the penchant for ‘cornholers’ in or around the penn state campus (ie., from no bail from a ‘connected judge’, to descriptions of this ‘frolicking man-child’, to a calmly protested innocence by psychopath pedophile sandusky, and even a quote from a loco local that sandusky was like a god, etc.), one could easily imagine McQreary going straight to jail with unrelenting attacks on his credibility to follow. Whew … all we can wonder is, ‘do they get out much’? Indeed, just to understand this penn state area mindset I’m going have to take another look at that well-done movie (and book of the same name by Dickey …whoops), ‘Deliverance’. I mean, a 10-11 year old boy anally raped by this serial psychopath and you just know by looking at sandusky there’s been not even a moment of remorse other than possibly for finally getting caught, if that. How many others? At least 10 more at this point. How can a boy ever get over this regardless of the extent of therapy? Life in prison is too good for sandusky. Sandusky says he's innocent TV COLUMN | Former Penn State defensive coordinator says in an interview that he is innocent of sex abuse charges. (Washington Post) [ There was actually an eyewitness to the rape of the boy; horsin’ around in the shower … like obscenity as per the supreme court of old, I think most anyone ‘knows it when they see it’ and that includes rape as opposed to ‘horsin around with young boys in the shower’. How pathetic! Watch for the cover-up!  Drudgereport: Penn State coach says he stopped shower assault... ‘…McQueary was placed on administrative leave last week after Penn State officials said he had received threats. According to the grand jury report, the graduate assistant said HE SAW A BOY, WHOSE AGE HE ESTIMATED AT 10 YEARS OLD, "BEING SUBJECTED TO ANAL INTERCOURSE" BY A NAKED SANDUSKY IN A SHOWER AT THE PENN STATE FOOTBALL BUILDING IN MARCH 2002 ( according to u.s. forum posts sandusky is a polish jew whose mothers maiden name is fittingly gross www.topix.com/forum/us/TM9KO1A74D6VPVFS7 - doesn’t he somewhat look like netanayhu?  ). The graduate assistant left "immediately," was "distraught" and called his father, according to the presentment. His father told him to leave the building and come to his home, according to the presentment.In the email obtained by The Morning Call, dated Nov. 8, McQueary said "I did stop it, not physically, but made sure it was stopped when I left that locker room.""No one can imagine my thoughts or wants to be in my shoes for those 30-45 seconds," McQueary wrote. "Trust me."Asked about McQueary's statement in the email that he had discussions with police, Penn State police told The Morning Call they were deferring to the university public relations office, which did not return a call Tuesday afternoon. Pennsylvania State Police in Harrisburg, which is heading the investigation, did not return a call.McQueary has not spoken publicly and declined to be interviewed by The Morning Call…’    Ombudsman: Too much opinion in coverage (Washington Post) [ In truth, I was disinclined to comment on this rather sordid and disgusting story; not only because its a sordid and disgusting story, but because it involves one actual perpetrator. After all, if theres one thing for which americas infamously famous for being number 1 at (beyond that history-of-the-world record breaking fiscal gap of $211 trillion - Americas debt woe is worse than Greeces News (CNN) Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looksThe governments total indebtedness is $211 trillion ) its americas number 1 position by far in terms of crime (CRIME STATS(u.s.No.1) (from a few years back … worse now, and those were just the ‘reported crimes’, actual crimes far greater)

and so on. ). Yet, when I heard that the one fellow who observed the rape seemed to getting a ‘pass’ for reporting the incident, I felt compelled to comment (as a permanent record on my website). I’ve only followed in a cursory manner the news coverage. I disagree with ‘the ombudsman’ that there’s ‘too much opinion’ in the coverage. There should be plenty of opinion, and they should express well-founded outrage concerning this egregious scenario. Indeed, that the initial, let me disparage him by calling him ‘voyeur’ didn’t right then and there confront the mentally ill pervert / homosexual / pedophile rapist and then report it is beyond my ability to imagine. I couldn’t have restrained myself. When the new president (?) of the university said on the news that no one should ever fear doing the right thing, my only reaction was that he was talking of another place, another time if ever in america. That certainly is not the case in america today where crime / complicit silence / cover-up pays and pays well. In reality, there were salaries, positions,  and roughly $50 million + (in revenue per year) reasons for silence. I have personally found that almost without exception, americans are without any courage or integrity whatsoever (see infra, which also references crimes of none other than a supreme court justice alito who should resign, among many others deserving punishment / exposure, etc., instances too numerous to include here). People should be angry inasmuch as that kid’s life will never be the same. Actions have consequences. Unfortunately, in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless america, those impacts/consequences are invariably negative. There’s just no excuse for what america’s become! 

 

Penn State taps former FBI director Louis Freeh in child sex-abuse investigation ...PHILADELPHIA — Former FBI director Louis Freeh, tapped to lead Penn State’s...jury report issued earlier...2011-11-22 - Associated Press, AP (Washington Post) [ Oh yeah … they got the right guy for cover-ups, not that his successor mueller seems any better. Freeh will always cover up u.s. government crime … always … he rationalizes same as if a patriotic duty. Indeed, from jersey city, hudson county, new jersey, among the most corrupt in the nation by any standard, one mob or another, (and the armpit of the earth if you’ve ever been there) he’s consistently talked up his jersey roots as if a badge of honor. The contrary is the truth. ‘Louie the patriot’s’ vote of confidence in the u.s. and then some…- "Louis Freeh acquires Italian citizenship".- They had him pegged … the ultimate go along to get along! His new rationalization for being a fee-paid-schmoozer is probably his large family to support (8? kids). He was a plodding, untalented guy, and as untalented a crime-fighter which invariably as a matter of necessity leads to a career-bureaucrat status (one way or another) that doesn’t and hasn’t required real results (only that which can be schmoozed); but has required cover-ups particularly along (republican) party lines, ie., trump, alito, he backed giuliani, etc.. http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf      Wall street frauds and protection (exemption from RICO) grew during ‘freeh the bushman’s’ tenure (with reno / clinton –Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop/connection) as did the transfers of just about everything to communist china. America’s direct involvement in the illegal drug business was about all that can characterize his otherwise unremarkable FBI career (‘pizza connection case’) as protection was accorded the u.s. government’s illegal activity and competitors removed. World’s Largest Drug Dealer: The american empire is the largest drug dealer in the world!  Say it isn’t so. Well, in addition to forcing legal drugs and genetically modified organisms on nations, usually under the cover of foreign aid, America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA   ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related  ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html   ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan  [  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew  ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Will Freeh bungle Penn State child-sex abuse investigation too? [ Only accidently on purpose! In louis freeh’s quid pro quo bureaucratic world, true results DON’T COUNT! ] http://www.reddirtreport.com/Story.aspx/20474  By Andrew Griffin OKLAHOMA CITY More than two weeks after the public began to learn of the child-sex abuse allegations against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, we learn that former FBI Director Louis Freeh, now in the private sector, has been hired to uncover the truth about horrific child-sex abuse crimes in State College, Pennsylvania.

Freeh, you may recall, served as FBI director during the Clinton administration and was in that leadership spot during the 1995 Alfred P. Murrah building bombing. Now that Freeh has been tapped to lead Penn States investigation into the child-sex abuse allegations against Sandusky, and perhaps others, with information allegedly stretching back to 1975, Red Dirt Report wonders if Penn State really wants this crime to be solved and their questions to be answered.

As reported today, Freeh said: I will personally lead that investigation. The special committee has hired my law firm to conduct a fair and independent investigation. 

Good luck getting to the truth, Penn State. Given Freehs lousy reputation as a crimefighter and not surprisingly, former Pennsylvania Attorney General and current Gov. Tom Corbett gives Freeh a big thumbs up you would think Penn State would stay far, far away from Freeh, unless Freeh is expected to bungle, cover up and obfuscate while pretending to expose the crimes against children there in the Keystone State. We hope he is there to do the right thing by those victimized by Sandusky and others.

People at Penn State also known as Happy Valley have known about Sanduskys crimes and have covered for him and ousted, godlike Coach Joe Paterno. Note this article in the Beaver County Times which, back in April, was shouting from the rooftops about Sandusky and note that But theres no shortage of stories and rumors about Penn State football sweeping problems under the rug.

Freeh, we must note, is an interesting and controversial choice. Yes, controversy seemed to stick to Freeh like crazy glue throughout the 1990s. First, there was Freehs coverup of the 1992 Ruby Ridge travesty. Another big one involved the fallout from Waco, which spilled over into Freehs tenure, another botched event and subsequent cover-up. Freeh has a lot to answer for.

While Freeh is viewed as incompetent, he and his underlings were effective in covering up and/or ignoring major crimes and controversies over the years that he was charged to protect the American people. As Charles R. Smith wrote of Freeh at Newsmax.com in 2002: FBI Director Louis Freeh oversaw the longest run of FBI public disasters in its entire history with Freeh transforming the FBI from a federal law enforcement agency into a political joke.

Think about it. Freeh was in charge during the 500 missing FBI files incident, the Unabomber case, the Wen Ho Lee/Los Alamos files espionage case, the Montana Freemen showdown, the shoot down of TWA Flight 800  in 1996 and so on. Do you feel you have more answers or fewer answers on those incidents and tragedies? Think about it.

Oh, and did you know Freeh was appointed FBI director in July 1993, the day before Vincent Fosters body was found in Fort Marcy Park?, The prior director, William Sessions, was ousted by Attorney General Janet Reno in the wake of the Waco disaster a disaster Freeh would fail to fully investigate, according to reports.

In a September 2000 article in Business Week, writer Howard Gleckman, in a piece titled The Case Against Louis Freeh, the article absolutely blasts the director, who was still in charge at that time.

Writes Gleckman: The man (Freeh) has overseen a bureau that has bungled investigations of high-profile criminal cases and repeatedly misled probers and judges in legal proceedings never more shamelessly than in the matter of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee. At the same time, Freehs FBI has tried to run roughshod over the civil liberties of ordinary citizens, demanding access to encryption codes and elbowing its way onto every PC in the country through its Carnivore project.

Remember, that was written 11 years ago and one year before 9/11.

And for those of us here in Oklahoma City, still healing from the effects of the bombing more than 16 years later, to learn that former FBI Director Freeh is leading an investigation into a major crime which may involve connections to many other people, well, dont hold your breath folks. He had an opportunity to do the right thing by the victims of the bombing and he opted not to do the right thing and bring the real criminals to justice.

In fact, the idea that Freeh will uncover anything of substance good luck, Penn State scandal truthseekers is an absolute joke. For instance, Freeh was exposed as knowing a lot more about the details of who was involved in the bombing, far beyond Timothy McVeigh. Be sure to check out the upcoming release of Free Mind Films explosive documentary, A Noble Lie.

As exposed by the late J.D. Cash, an investigative reporter with the McCurtain Daily Gazette, Freeh and the FBI allegedly knew of a bomb plot and the activities of German intelligence contact and Neo-Nazi infiltrator Andreas Strassmeir at Elohim City in Adair County, Oklahoma. And what of Larry Potts, a leading FBI investigator? Freeh made sure Potts, his number two guy, rose in the ranks, yet what does Freeh think about accusations made against Potts, a villain linked to numerous botched cases? This includes comments by the late Timothy McVeigh, executed for his role in the bombing, who said Potts involved in Ruby Ridge and Waco knew him well and was forcing the former soldier-turned-radical to go off script and that McVeighs accomplice, Terry Nichols, said the bombing was an FBI op, as noted by a hard-hitting 2007 article in Utahs Deseret News.

As for Andy the German Strassmeir, much of his role in the FBI op was revealed in a January 1996 memo Freeh sent out to senior FBI field agents which noted the Southern Poverty Law Center/FBI joint sting operation at Elohim City, Okla. was being handled in the days prior to the bombing.

As Cash reported, while Freehs FBI put up border guards on the Mexican border to pick up Strassmeir for questioning in regards to his links to Elohim City and McVeigh, Strassmeir managed to slip through their fingers. The teletype, obtained via an FOIA request, was heavily redacted but reveals that FBI Director Freeh knew a lot more about the Oklahoma City bombing case than the public was led to believe. Why did Freeh allow Strassmeir to flee the U.S. and go back to Germany without being questioned about his role in the lead-up to the Oklahoma City bombing, the biggest domestic terror attack up to that time in history? Wouldnt Strassmeirs knowledge of McVeigh and others unknown have been useful to the federal investigation into the April 19, 1995 bombing here in Oklahoma City that killed 168 and wounded many others?

As Cash wrote, in a piece posted in 2005 at WorldNetDaily.com: The Freeh teletype also discusses an allegedly close relationship McVeigh had with a subject living at Elohim City, a person who, the teletype says, spoke with McVeigh only two days before the bombing.

Continuing, Cash, and co-writer Roger Charles note: That information, Freeh said, was from an informant who was working for the Southern Poverty Law Center a tax-exempt civil rights group co-founded by Morris Dees.

It was Freehs FBI that gathered up all the videotapes after the Oklahoma City bombing. Where are those tapes now, Mr. Freeh?

The FBI crime labs under Freeh were accused by an FBI whistleblower that evidence in OKBOMB had been tainted. And Freeh punished him, sending a chilling message to other potential whistleblowers. And yet Penn State, certainly knowing Freehs background and history, wants him to do an independent investigation into this serious case at Penn State, which some have reported may include Sanduskys involvement in pimping out children to wealthy Penn State donors?

Freehs predecessor, William S. Sessions, was FBI director when Ruby Ridge and Waco happened and was in charge when accusations arose against powerful people and institutions in the late 1980s and early 1990s regarding pedophile rings leading up to the top rungs of American political power, something some independent researchers claim goes on to this day. The 2005 Gannon-gate episode, as noted by reporter Wayne Madsen, was reminiscent of the 1989 pedophile and prostitution scandal linked to the Franklin Community Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. And interestingly, that scandal seems reminiscent of what we are seeing unfold at Penn State, if the allegations of Sandusky pimping kids out to wealthy school donors are indeed true, as reported by sports journalist Mark Madden.

The FBI seems to be more interested in crisis management and cover up than in actually solving serious crimes, as we have seen time and again.

When Red Dirt Report first learned that Freeh was hired by Penn State to investigate the Sandusky child-sex abuse case as an independent investigator, we thought about some of our sources who are still upset with Freeh for allegedly covering up so many aspects of what happened prior, during and after the Oklahoma City bombing. This includes the murders of Oklahoma City Police Officer Terry Yeakey and prisoner Kenneth Trentadue, killed while in federal custody in the wake of the OKC bombing, in what his brother Jesse Trentadue believes was a case of mistaken identity.That happened on Freeh and Renos watch.

Red Dirt Report is very skeptical of Freeh and whether or not he will really find out anything of consequence and if he does, be on the alert that if it involves very powerful and influential people.

Think about it. It was at the end of his tenure that Freeh, a devout Roman Catholic and rumored to be linked with the shadowy Opus Dei organization, dramatized in Dan Browns Catholic Church-linked conspiracy thriller The DaVinci Code, was revealed as actually attending the same church as devoted Opus Dei Catholic and FBI agent-turned-spy Robert Hanssen. Freeh notes in his bio My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton and Fighting the War on Terror, that he didnt know that Hanssen, a fellow parishioner at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Great Falls, Va., was up to no good and selling us out to the Russians and earning Hanssen the infamous name the most damaging spy in history. Somehow, the big ones tend to get by Freeh. Hmmm.

Interestingly, exactly six months prior to the terror attacks of 9/11/01, some pamphleteers critical of Freeh and his cover up of the 1993 holocaust of Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas appeared outside his church. While the critics of Freeh and his FBI were angrily driven off the church property by the priest, the somewhat rambling pamphlet notes accuses Freeh of being a conspirator in the murder of the Branch Davidians, an accessory after the fact.

Perhaps Louis Freeh has learned a lot since those crazy days of the 1990s. Perhaps he has had time to reflect on his career and the crimes he was charged with investigating, on behalf of the American people.

But were not sure, given his awful record in tracking down the real criminals in numerous high-profile cases. As one person who lost  several family members in the Oklahoma City bombing told us this afternoon of Freeh and his new assignment at Penn State, (Freeh) screwed up here and hes going to screw up there. There arent many fans of Freeh back here in Oklahoma. We hope folks in Pennsylvania take that into account as their independent investigation is launched.

For the sake of the victims at Penn State and those who are extraordinarily upset and outraged about what took place there for many, many years, we truly hope Louis Freeh uncovers the truth and that the despicable Jerry Sandusky and others are ultimately brought to justice.’

Donald Trump Dismisses Ron Paul as “Joke Candidate” Kurt Nimmo | Millions of Americans support Paul’s call for ending foreign aid. [ Yet it’s trump who is the big joke (which makes america look like a bigger joke)! He’s a caricature at best, and the joke that keeps on giving (SNL, etc.), and a government-protected mobster (worried he’ll lose his ‘protected’ status under a legitimate administration). ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., as does himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

Wayne Madsen: Holder’s Fast & Furious was Designed to Destablize Mexican Government Infowars Nightly News | ‘Wayne Madsen has learned from his contacts within the Beltway intelligence community that Jared Lee Loughner is an “MK-ULTRA” programmed assassin and that US District Judge John Roll and Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords were targetted for assassination.The reason for the decision to target Judge Roll and Congresswoman Giffords has to do with their knowledge of the malicious and purposeful arming of Mexican drug gangs along the US-Mexico border by US intelligence agency assets in an effort designed to destablize the Mexican government.This towards the end of making Mexico more dependent on US military aid and protection from its private security contractors.A key quote from Wayne Madsen’s report follows:

WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009.Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety.Loughners was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels Sinaloa and Los Zetas in order to destabilize Mexico.

Parker: Gingrich’s tone-deaf remarks on the poor  (Washington Post) [ Let me say at the outset, whether correct or not, when it comes to sharpton, the medium is the message (I never got past that ‘Call Me Twana, Bwana’ thing with him  http://albertpeia.com/tawana.htm  - When I wrote this I was still ‘a bit miffed’ by having just been mugged by 4 blacks and 2 hispanics here in LA, along with the anti-white predisposition of blacks as well, here in LA particularly ). Yet, in sharpton’s and partner mason’s ‘legal’ (illegal) heyday, I actually represented a black man, a walk-in/recently out of the army, whose unfortunate accident with his (owned) truck left him in arrears/default on his mortgage, which suit came before the late Honorable (among the few in jersey) U.S.D.C. Judge Sarokin (Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter case) upon my motion for failing to meet the amount in controversy, $75,000 –strictly construed, plaintiff midlantic bancorporation’s counsel miscounted and was off by less than $300.

        

[ Some lawyers can’t count or do anything right: This is from a reply to the Congresswoman Roybal-Allard’s query ‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan (missed a filing date) is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that 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 would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’ ]           

 

In state superior court, we opened, then on cross of their first ‘expert’ witness (regarding the amounts due), I moved to dismiss and strike the testimony for having failed and being unable to qualify said witness (owing to a very parochial and strict state rule of evidence in jersey – he had no other such witness for said purpose). The Honorable (among the few in jersey) Judge Weiss was inclined to rule accordingly, took us in chambers and strongly suggested opposing counsel call his client bank to sanction a favorable settlement to my client. The point is, I’m not a racist nor prejudiced. But, I am objective and a realist. I did ‘pay a big price’ for said embarrassment to the bank’s counsel; and, they made sure I knew it. That said, let me reiterate that the inclusion of sharpton as a purveyor of rectitude leaves me somewhat less than receptive to Ms. Parker’s point. Yet again, so slimy and egregious is gingrich’s patronizing ‘showing up on Monday‘ remark that I’m constrained to ask, ‘is that what gingrich recently did for the $37 million from corporate “favor-seekers”?’. Or is it more likely he didn’t have to show up at all? The latter’s the reality, and from his record in being ‘driven from office on a rail’, one must wonder what he among others ever got paid for. Then there’s the ‘mobster trump thing’ (corrupt sister maryanne trump barry, newly appointed for said purpose, did corrupt a RICO action in which hundreds of thousands of illegal (drug) funds were being laundered through her brother’s casinos yet wouldn’t recuse herself despite my motion (see  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     ).

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims).. 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 DAs 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 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 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 blacks 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). ]

 

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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.) .

  • 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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocaine [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvbdiWgwsA   ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQNSoOX-dcw&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1Id2qpSOE&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIEUhpxeuP4&feature=related  ,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyM43Sw2OVc&feature=related  ] , colluding with certain cartels [ http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/08/does_mexican_drug_cartel_have_deal_with_us_government.html   ] to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan  [  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElEciFI0Pew  ] .  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production [  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/12/world/asia/un-reports-sharp-rise-in-opium-production-in-afghanistan.html?_r=2&ref=world  ]  ; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tons.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

Five myths about Ron Paul  (Washington Post) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason he can point to based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle. Moreover, poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city, new jersey, and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and as well, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . wobama the b for b***s*** purports to be a lawyer which makes my aforesaid scenario the easiest thing in the world for him to understand, particulary his department of justice, which is now within the purview of calls for impeachment surrounding the ‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted; and, that’s at best. They may just as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump. Then in desperation romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed and new direction, policies are required. I think the choice is rather simple. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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. ]

 

 

 

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

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computers browser) as per your offices request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which Ive installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named 112208opocoan). The (civil) RICO action (as youre aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBIs LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation Andrew Maloneys the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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).

Iraq

from the book

The CIAs Greatest Hits

by Mark Zepezauer

 

‘The Gulf War of early 1991 didn't change much. Our old buddy, the despotic Emir of Kuwait, is back on his throne. Our former buddy, Saddam Hussein, while knocked down a peg or two, is still in power and as brutal as ever. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead, hundreds of US veterans are suffering from a mysterious disease, and the Persian Gulf has been ravaged by the largest oil spill in history. The question naturally arises, could any of this have been avoided?

The whole dispute started because Kuwait was slant-drilling. Using equipment bought from National Security Council chief Brent Scowcroft's old company, Kuwait was pumping out some $14-billion worth of oil from underneath Iraqi territory. Even the territory they were drilling from had originally been Iraq's. Slant-drilling is enough to get you shot in Texas, and it's certainly enough to start a war in the Mideast.

Even so, this dispute could have been negotiated. But it's hard to avoid a war when what you're actually doing is trying to provoke a war.

The most famous example of that is the meeting between Saddam and the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, five days before Iraq invaded Kuwait. As CIA satellite photos showed an Iraqi invasion force massing on the Kuwaiti border, Glaspie told Hussein that "the US takes no position" on Iraq's dispute with Kuwait.

A few days later, during last-minute negotiations, Kuwait's foreign minister said: "We are not going to respond to [Iraq]....If they don't like it, let them occupy our territory....We are going to bring in the Americans." The US reportedly encouraged Kuwait's attitude.

Pitting the two countries against each other was nothing new. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster advised Kuwait's security chief to "take advantage of the deteriorating economic situation in Iraq to put pressure on Iraq.'' At the same time, a CIA-linked think tank was advising Saddam to put pressure on the Kuwaitis.

A month earlier, the Bush administration issued a secret directive that called for greater economic cooperation with Iraq. This ultimately resulted in billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam.

The Gulf War further destabilized the region and made Kuwait more dependent on us. US oil companies can now exert more control over oil prices (and thus boost their profits). The US military got an excuse to build more bases in the region (which Saudi Arabia, for one, didn't want) and the war also helped justify the "need" to continue exorbitant levels of military spending. Finally, it sent a message to Third World leaders about what they could expect if they dared to step out of line.’

Braveheart Republicans?  Or would false-hearted be more accurate? (Washington Post) [ Truth be told, it was the picture of Mel as Wallace (‘Braveheart’) that caught my attention; among my favorite films in terms of being a portrait of courage. I’ve found, almost without exception, at almost every nuanced turn, that americans are without any courage whatsoever. Yet, my limited disappointment with the film lay in the favorable treatment accorded the ignoble noble bruce. Indeed, bruce’s belated ‘love and respect’ for Wallace post-mortem was no excuse (but good politics?) for unforgivably ‘failing to show up as promised’ at the behest of the typically misguided ‘old-boys’ network’ of nobles (including his father), which of course was fatal for Wallace. For scotland that’s since meant being a mere cog in the broken wheel of a greater britain as opposed to at worst, an independent broken wheel (of course, it should come as no surprise that I respect the latter). Today, those similarly positioned ignoble, self-fashioned government ‘nobles’ and their parasites (wall street frauds, military industrial complex, government contractors, lobbyists, etc.) are indiscernible by party certainly, or any other way whatsoever. For Mr. Milbank, the eternal wobama apologist, to attempt to draw such a distinction by party affiliation is disingenuous or naïve at best, and downright dishonest at worst. With extremely few exceptions, they’re all the same; and to use his term, false-hearted.

THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICA

The numbers tell us America is in decline... if not outright collapse.

I say "the numbers tell us" because I've become very sensitive to the impact this kind of statement has on people. When I warned about the impending bankruptcy of General Motors in 2006 and 2007, readers actually blamed me for the company's problems as if my warnings to the public were the real problem, rather than GM's $400 billion in debt.

The claim was absurd. But the resentment my work engendered was real.

So please... before you read this issue, which makes several arresting claims about the future of our country... understand I am only writing about the facts as I find them today. I am only drawing conclusions based on the situation as it stands. I am not saying that these conditions can't improve. Or that they won't improve.

The truth is, I am optimistic. I believe our country is heading into a crisis. But I also believe that... sooner or later... Americans will make the right choices and put our country back on sound footing.

Please pay careful attention to the data I cite. And please send me corrections to the facts. I will happily publish any correction that can be substantiated. But please don't send me threats, accusations against my character, or baseless claims about my lack of patriotism. If I didn't love our country, none of these facts would bother me. I wouldn't have bothered writing this letter.

I know this is a politically charged and emotional issue. My conclusions will not be easy for most readers to accept. Likewise, many of the things I am writing about this month will challenge my subscribers to re-examine what they believe about their country. The facts about America today tell a painful story about a country in a steep decline, beset by problems of its own making.

One last point, before we begin... I realize that this kind of macro-economic/political analysis is not, primarily, what you pay me for.

You rightly expect me to provide you with investment opportunities whether bull market, bear market, or total societal collapse. And that's what I've done every month for more than 15 years.

But that's not what I've done this month. You won't find any investment ideas at all in these pages. This issue is unlike any other I have ever written.

I'm sure it will spark a wave of cancellations costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I fear it will spark a tremendous amount of controversy. Many people will surely accuse me of deliberately writing inflammatory things in order to stir the pot and gain attention. That's not my intention. The truth is, I've gone to great lengths throughout my career to protect my privacy.

I am speaking out now because I believe someone must. And I have the resources to do it. I am sharing these ideas with my subscribers because I know we have arrived at the moment of a long-brewing crisis.

Our political leaders, our business leaders, and our cultural leaders have made a series of catastrophic choices. The result has been a long decline in America's standard of living.

For decades, we have papered over these problems with massive amounts of borrowing. But now, our debts total close to 400% of GDP, and America is the world's largest borrower (after being the world's largest creditor only 40 years ago)... And the holes in our society can no longer be hidden...

We've reached the point where we will have to fix what lies at the heart of America's decline... or be satisfied with a vastly lower standard of living in the future.

How do I know? How do I statistically define the decline of America?

The broadest measure of national wealth is per-capita gross domestic product (GDP). Economists use this figure to judge standards of living around the world. It shows the value of the country's annual production divided by the number of its citizens. No, the production isn't actually divided among all the citizens, but this measure provides us with a fair benchmark to compare different economies around the world. Likewise, this measure shows the growth (or the decline) in wealth in societies across time.

So... is America growing richer or poorer based on per-capita GDP? Seems like a simple enough question, doesn't it? Is our economy growing faster than our population? Are we, as individuals, becoming more affluent? Or is the pie, measured on a per-person basis, growing smaller?
This is the most fundamental measure of the success or the failure of any political system or culture. Are the legal and social rules we live under aiding our economic development or holding us back? What do the numbers say?

Unfortunately, it's a harder question to answer than it should be. The problem is, we don't have a sound currency with which to measure GDP through time. Until 1971, the U.S. dollar was defined as a certain amount of gold. And the price of gold was fixed by international agreement. It didn't actually begin to trade freely until 1975. Therefore, the value of the U.S. dollar (and thus the value of U.S. production, which is measured in dollars) was manipulated higher for many years.

Even today, our government's nominal GDP figures are greatly influenced by inflation. The influence of inflation is particularly pernicious in GDP studies. You see, inflation, which actually reduces our standard of living, drives up the amount of nominal GDP. So it creates the appearance of a wealthier country... while the nation is actually getting poorer.

The only real way to accurately measure per-capita GDP is to build our own model. The need to build our own tools tells you something important the government doesn't want anyone to know the answer to this question. It could easily publish data far more accurate than the indexes it puts out. But government doesn't want anyone to know. And it wants to be able to say "those aren't the real data" when studies like ours produce bad news.

So pay attention to how we built our charts. You can see for yourself that our data are far more accurate than the government's figures. Our data are based on the real purchasing power of the currency, not the nominal numbers, which are completely meaningless in the real world.

The question we are trying to answer is: What would per-capita GDP numbers look like, if we used a real-world currency, like gold, or a basket of commodity prices, instead of the paper-based U.S. dollar? What would the figures be if we measured GDP in sound money instead of the government's funny money?

Here's how we figured it out. We took the government numbers for nominal GDP and measured them first against commodity prices, and later (after it began to trade freely) gold. We used a standard commodity index (the CRB) up to 1975 and gold post-1975. The result of this analysis shows you the real trend in U.S. per-capita GDP, as measured on a real-world purchasing power basis.

Our analysis shows you what's actually happened to our real standard of living. The results, we suspect, will surprise even the most bearish among you.

America is in a steep decline.

Americans Are Getting Poorer Fast

Let me anticipate the "official" criticism of our study. Many people will claim that our numbers aren't "real." They will say that we "mined" the data to produce a chart that showed a steep decline.

That's simply not so. All we've done is convert the government's nominal GDP stats into a fixed currency value that's based on real-world purchasing power. The fact is, our data are far more accurate than the government's because they represent the real-world experience.

That's why our data are far more closely correlated to other real-world studies of wealth in America.

Consider, for example, annual sales of automobiles. Auto sales peaked in 1985 (11 million) and have been declining at a fairly steady rate since 1999. In 2009, Americans bought just 5.4 million passenger cars. As a result, the median age of a registered vehicle in the U.S. is almost 10 years.

Our data shows that real per-capita wealth peaked in the late 1960s. Guess when we find the absolutely lowest median age of the U.S. fleet? In 1969. At the end of the 1960s, the median age of all the cars on the road in the U.S. was only 5.1 years. Even as recently as 1990, the median age was only 6.5 years.

Rich people buy new cars. Poor people do not.

Most important, our data "proves" something I know many of you have felt or perceived for many years. You've seen the decline of your neighborhoods. You've gone years without being able to earn more money in your job. Or you've seen your purchasing power decrease to the point where you're now substituting lower-quality products on your grocery list for the brand-name products you used to buy.

You can see how much harder it is on your children to find good jobs, to buy good housing or a new car. As a result, few people under the age of 40 have the same kind of "life story" as their parents.

And because they can't "make it," many have decided to "fake it." The average college student now graduates with $24,000 in debt... and by his late 20s has racked up more than $6,000 in credit card debt. Meanwhile, median earnings for Americans aged 25-34 equals $34,000-$38,000. (Source: Demos.org, "The Economic State of Young America," November 2011.)

Can you imagine starting your life out as an adult with a personal debt-to-income level at close to 100%? What does this say about the state of our economy? What does this say about the state of our culture?

Who Suffers Most

It's not only the young that are having trouble in America. It is also the old.

Debt levels among households headed by people older than 62 have been rising for two decades. The average mortgage size for this population is now $71,000 five times larger than it was in 1987 (adjusted for inflation), according to William Apgar of Harvard's Joint
Center for Housing Studies.

Older Americans are also more reliant on credit card debt than ever before... credit card debt. From 1992 through 2007 (which is the latest data available) older Americans took on credit card debt at a faster pace than the population as a whole. According to USA Today, lower- and middle-income Americans aged 65 and older now carry an average of more than $10,000 in credit card debt, up 26% since only 2005.
Given average interest rates of 20% for these debts, it's a fair bet that these obligations will never be repaid. But they will have a terrible impact on the standard of living of these older Americans.

What in the heck is going on? Don't Americans pay off their mortgages before they retire? Don't they work hard during their careers, save, and invest, so they can move to Florida and spend their retirement in comfort?

Older Americans living with credit card debt! This doesn't sound like America, does it? Or maybe it does.

My bet is that most of my subscribers know that something has gone terribly wrong with America. It's not easy to figure out how all of this happened... but you know from your own experiences that these numbers aren't wrong. It might not be pleasant to think about... but these figures paint a sad but accurate picture: America is not the country it was 40 years ago. These changes are warping our economy, politics, and culture.

In this month's issue, I'd like to try to define a few of the core reasons we're in this situation. I can't possibly analyze all the factors that have led to this decline. But I want to document the growth of graft in politics. I want to demonstrate with real facts and examples how public company leadership has deteriorated. And I want to document some of the things that are occurring in the broader society, all of which I believe are linked to this fundamental decline in our standard of living.

You see, I believe the decline of our country is primarily a decline of our culture.

We have lost our sense of honor, humility, and the dedication to personal responsibility that, for more than 200 years, made our country the greatest hope for mankind. I want to detail some of the factors that gave rise to the current entitlement society. We have become a country of people who believe their well-being is someone else's responsibility.

I've labeled these problems: The Corruption of America.

These problems manifest themselves in different ways across institutions in all parts of our society. But at their root, they are simply facets of the same stone. They are all part of the same essential problem.

The corruption of America isn't happening in one part of our country... or in one type of institution. It is happening across the landscape of our society, in almost every institution. It's a kind of moral decay... a kind of greed... a kind of desperate grasp for power... And it's destroying our nation.

The Ethos of 'Getting Yours'

Americans know, in their bones, that something terrible is happening. Maybe you can't articulate it. Maybe you don't have the statistics to understand exactly what's going on. But my bet is, you think about it a lot.

For me, a poignant moment of recognition came this month.

Bloomberg news published an article based on confidential sources about how Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Republican U.S. Treasury secretary during the financial crisis, held a secret meeting with the top 20 hedge-fund managers in New York City in late July 2008. This was about two weeks after he testified to Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were "well-capitalized."
I knew for a fact that what Paulson told Congress wasn't true. I wrote my entire June 2008 newsletter detailing exactly why Fannie and Freddie certainly had billions in losses that they had not yet revealed to investors
$500 billion in losses, at least. There was no question in my mind, both companies were insolvent "zeros," as I explained.

And yet, in front of Congress, the U.S. Treasury secretary was saying exactly the opposite. Either I was a liar... or he was.
Then... only a few days later... what did Paulson tell those hedge-fund managers?

He told them the same thing I had written in my newsletter. He told them the opposite of what he'd said publicly to Congress. He told these billionaire investors that Fannie and Freddie were a disaster... They would require an enormous, multibillion-dollar bailout... The U.S. government would have to take them over... And their shareholders would be completely wiped out.

Here you had a high-government official, explicitly lying to Congress (and by extension, the general public), while giving the real facts to a group of people who represented the financial interests of the world's wealthiest folks. The story didn't come to the public's attention for two years.

This was the most outrageous example of graft and corruption I have ever seen. Certainly it involves more billions of dollars in misappropriated value than any other similar story I can recall. These managers had the risk-free ability to make tens of billions of dollars, if not hundreds of billions, by using derivatives to capitalize on what they knew was the imminent collapse of the world's largest mortgage bank. Who picked up the tab? You know perfectly well. It was you and me, the taxpayers.

(One of the investment managers present at this meeting was Steve Rattner, who by that point was already deeply involved in another bit of graft, his efforts to bribe New York state pension-fund managers for large investments into his hedge fund, from which he earned perhaps as much as $100 million. He later settled the charges for a mere $10 million shortly after Andrew Cuomo was elected governor of New York.)
The Bloomberg story... about a crooked Treasury secretary handing a room full of crooked billionaires inside information worth billions of dollars... hardly caused a ripple. As far as I know, no actions are being planned against Henry Paulson or any of the hedge-fund managers involved. No other major media outlet picked up the story. I saw nothing about it from the Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What does that say about our country when even the most egregious kind of corruption involving hundreds of billions of dollars is simply ignored?

It seems like everyone in our country has lost his moral bearing, from the highest government officials and senior corporate leaders all the way down to schoolteachers and local community leaders. The ethos of my fellow Americans seems to have changed from one of personal integrity and responsibility to "getting yours" the all-out attempt, by any means possible, to get the most amount of benefits with the least amount of work.

You can see this in everything from the lowering of school standards (revising the SAT) to the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional, college, and high school sports. Cheating has become a way of life in America.

I have an idea about how this happened... about the root cause of this kind of corruption and why it was inevitable, given some of the basic facts regarding how we've organized our government and our corporations.

Let me show you the numbers the hard facts behind what's happened to our country...’

WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009.Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety.Loughners was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels Sinaloa and Los Zetas in order to destabilize Mexico.

Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks black Christmas! Typical! ]
For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Historical headwinds Gingrich, Romney and Paul against the odds. (Washington Post) [ This is without doubt the most disappointing article by an otherwise invariably clear thinking Mr. Will. I’m glad for his disclosure (the Perry link) inasmuch as at least there is the possibility of a modicum of reason behind what otherwise would constitute a total ‘lack of reason’. Mr. Will sets forth some interesting tidbits of a category of sorts of history as if prepping for a round of Jeopardy, so obscure as they are. Relevance to today, that is also as obscure. If Mr. Will, of all people, cannot discern the difference today, from the america of yesterday, one does have to wonder who can. Yet, I do believe the vast majority in america do in fact discern such a difference. Why? Because the magnitude of that reality (of difference) is so great that one would have to be literally brain-dead to not discern it.

Other than the black vote (roughly 18% according to’the first black president, clinton’) and the relatively few remaining wobama loyalists, I do believe, though belated, it’s human nature for that clear majority to opt for the chance of survival (of a nation) rather than the already worn path of decline as tread by wobama.

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous.

How the economy could come back WONKBOOK | There are plausible scenarios in which 2012 is better than forecasters expect. (Washington Post) [ Yeah … and if your grandmother had wheels she’d be a trolleycar. Come on, let’s get real here. I’m quite surprised at Mr. Klein’s piece here which usually is quite grounded. This being a somewhat business-oriented offering, the emphasis should be on probable, not plausible, though the pols are lovin’ Mr. Klein for his election year ‘polspeak’; or, for those so addicted, that thing called ‘hopium’, for which the withdrawal period inevitably to follow is a real b**ch!

Payroll tax cut raises worries about Social Security’s future funding Congress’s extension of the cut has many concerned that a foundation of Social Security is being undermined. (Washington Post) [ Little late to be worrying about something so insurmountably problematic at this point; particularly, one of so relatively small significance given the sheer magnitude of the problem. Lawrence: Uncle Sam’s dirty secret (Washington Post) [ Unfortunately, though dirty, the secret is not so secret, just ‘media controlled’ as is all too often the case in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. Moreover, I believe the calculations of a published economics professor are far more reliable than those of a new york wall street manipulato / desperato; and, not surprisingly, far more dire ( America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks … We’re broke for a reason. We’ve spent six decades accumulating a huge official debt (U.S. Treasury bills and bonds) and vastly larger unofficial debts to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits to today’s and tomorrow’s 100 million-plus retirees.

Detroit stands out in housing data An unlikely name has been popping up as a bright spot in the nation’s still-abysmal housing market. (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight! Such a lovely place … and, among the few places where they actually pay you to buy there … and, kind of like that ‘House on Haunted Hill’ (you know, the spooks / ‘ghosts’), if you survive a certain short period of time, you get to keep it (in good condition for the banks / lenders / owners) … though similar in some ways to a roach motel as in that ‘once you go in, you never come out’ (Eh …I don’t really know that for a fact … just kiddin’).

 

After a wild ride in 2011, U.S. stocks back almost where they started  A year filled with solid rallies and breathtaking drops ends almost precisely where it began. (Washington Post) [ Yes, where it began; but minus literally billions (and then trillions) in commissions, fees, and hard cash for bogus paper / toxic assets now marked to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change, even those held by the fed, the rehypothecation of worthless paper securites, the over-printing of ever-more worthless fiat paper currencies, etc., all of which are failed, exacerbating strategies of this continuing crisis, the worst of which lies ahead. Guest Post: 2011 - Catch-22 Year In ReviewThe Wall Street mantra of stocks for the long run is beginning to get a little stale. If Abbey Joseph Cohen had been right for the last twelve years, the S&P 500 would be 4,000. For this level of accuracy, she is paid millions. Her 2011 prediction of 1,500 only missed by 16%. The S&P 500 began the year at 1,258 and hasn’t budged. The lowest prediction from the Wall Street shysters at the outset of the year was 1,333, with the majority between 1,400 and 1,500. The same Wall Street clowns are now being quoted in the mainstream media predicting a 10% to 15% increase in stock prices in 2012, despite the fact we are headed back into recession, China’s property bubble has burst, and Europe teeters on the brink of dissolution. They lie on behalf of their Too Big To Tell the Truth employers by declaring stocks undervalued, when honest analysts such as Jeremy Grantham, John Hussman and Robert Shiller truthfully report that stocks are overvalued and will provide pitiful returns over the next year and the next decade.’

Time to fix the MLK memorial The decision should be easy. (Washington Post) [ Yeah … I agree … I truly favor that language of his; viz., paraphrasing, that people should be judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin. After all, these words (on his memorial) give him the persona of almost a ‘self-proclaimed god’ when we all know and have been consistently reminded by his apologists, ‘he was just a man’; with those amorous trysts with those ‘ white ho’s ’ the proof among other foibles. Moreover, that content of character thing / criteria allows for an unsalutatory, unceremonious good-bye to one term presidential failure and last black president, b***s*** artist and con man in chief, wobama the b fo b***s***, along with his corrupt, black racist buddy eric holder at the doj (infra, UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE... (WP) ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims ', etc.   ). Additionally, that ‘content of character’ thing would also permit a more objective and real approach to profiling ie., serial killers (blacks included based on the data / facts, infra), not to mention their predominance in crime generally which is consistent with their anthropological, indigenous history to present. Yes, we all owe a debt of gratitude to the Post’s editorial board to take time out from scrutiny and comment on the multitude of ‘nation-ending-problems’ of a nation literally on the brink of total collapse to take that tough position as here that has so defined this great newspaper. It’s objective criteria / realities and ‘cutting the mustard’ that’s necessary which as well includes prosecution of  those unprosecuted gargantuan frauds by ‘white boys’ on wall street. And, to be further 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). The rhetoric from the unbalanced savage is equally appalling .. Michael Savage: Ron Paul Hates Jews and Supports Terrorists Kurt Nimmo | Top-ranked talk show host warns that Paul is a “lunatic” who threatens America .. this from a ‘talk radio’ lunatic (I sampled as with most such) savage who literally went into one of his rants about people being crazy to like mayonnaise (he fancies himself somewhat of a ‘gourmet’; never mind that probably second to only ketchup, this condiment is wildly popular and with a pleasing taste at that). Who’s the lunatic? The fact is, if Paul were to put zionist, israeli, aipac approved interests before those of America, no doubt ‘all would be forgiven’. Easy enough to do; ask all the other candidates.

As a matter of fact, in the manner of that classic lou costello comedic skit (you may recall or someone might tell you, ‘niagara falls’ is the term that triggers the negative ‘overreaction’ much to lou costello’s detriment including his ‘well-being’), mere mention of the word ‘united states’ would spur a panoply of reactions; none of them good, I might add.

Downward revision for home sales Does it mean home sales and the real estate economy is far worse than we thought?  (Washington Post) [ The reality of ‘this flavor’ of ponzi scheme that I’ve termed ‘data ponzi scheme’ cannot be ignored; particularly with the deleterious results to follow therefrom. There are all sorts of ponzi schemes currently in play, so rife with corruption this nation (world) has become. ,  Would A Ponzi By Any Other Name Smell As Bad?The bond market has always had clever names for bonds in specific markets.  Eurobonds, Yankee bonds, Samurai bonds, and now, Ponzi bonds.  I’m not sure what else to call these new bonds, but Ponzi bonds seems as good as anything. NBG issued these bonds to themselves, got a Greek government guarantee (how can a country that can’t borrow, provide a guarantee?) and took these bonds to the ECB to get some financing. , France revises 3rd quarter growth down (Washington Post) [ Look! Voila! They’re even adopting pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america’s ‘data ponzi schemes’ along with those of the financial variety. Economy grew more slowly in the summer than previously thought (Washington Post) [ Yeah! Riiiiight! That, an approximately 35% difference; no small matter. Indeed, much like the ‘financial ponzi scheme’ being run out of washington, there’s a ‘fake / inflated’ ‘data ponzi scheme’ being run (particularly in this desperate election cycle) wherein the better than expected inflated (or deflated as in fake/manipulated unemployment numbers) are put out there for the spike in stock prices, with similar tact when reality catches up with the false data (as here, or the inflated housing numbers yesterday, ue numbers, etc.). Needless to say, as with ponzi schemes, reality always catches up, at great expense / damage to many, having benefited the few (ie., frauds on wall street, undeserving pols, etc.). All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer

 

 

A contest for commander in grief Have you ever seen a glummer or grouchier bunch of presidential candidates? Not likely. (Washington Post) [ I’m totally astounded by the tenor of this article’s headline, which I hope conveys my profound disappointment in the so-called author and whatever purported journalistic abilities lie therein. I mean, if a journalist / reporter at The Washington Post doesn’t fathom the depth of this nation’s (and the multitude of other nations globally) problems fiscally, economically, financially, politically, geo-politcally, one truly has to wonder who does. The outlook is bleak, as in grim, as in gloomy, as in dire. That really is reality, and more people really must come to grips with, yes, realistically, factually, grim reality. There has never been a more grim, gloomy reality for this nation particularly among other nations. To have that now notorious albeit artful b***s*** artist wobama ‘toolin’ around’ with a smile that more appropriately suits a look fitting the village idiot is a further testament to wobama’s utter failure as president and unfitness for office. Well deserved criticism for wobama’s glaring failures and broken promises and incompetence which in sum have contributed mightily to the nation’s now insurmountable predicament, owing to wobama’s innate character flaws ‘to be marked as typical’ is to wobama as water is to a duck’s back. He’s pulled the con and is content with his failed tenure. Really! He’s all that bad; and, the scenario he’s in large part now responsible for is all that grim. Really! … And … No! I will not waste my time reading this meaningless fluff-piece!

Oil prices surge after Iran sends warning aimed at U.S. ships U.S. officials attribute Tuesday’s harsh language to Iran’s growing frustration over its faltering economy (Washington Post) [ It seems the u.s. / israel have predictably made up their minds to contrive yet another pro-israeli conflict by, ultimately in essence, cruising for a worldwide bruising.

No land of opportunity GOP critics ignore why America has declined. (Washington Post) [ I believe Mr. Meyerson’s headline to be true, important and one which speaks for itself without qualification, even by Mr. Meyerson himself (of course it is Mr. Meyerson’s article). But even a cursory examination of unequivocally failed president wobama’s failed predecessor, war criminal dumbya bush, hank paulson, et als including the massive wall street frauds, war profiteering, etc., and corruption so deep and far-reaching so as to make partisan labels virtually meaningless. It’s truly the pervasive corruption (and short end money) in america that’s led to a structural shift that literally cannot be undone; that ‘bell cannot be unrung’. That wobama et als approach is an abject failure is a safe bet; indeed, because he et als have been abject failures in their ‘election-year mission and purpose’ as stated. Moreover, there’s been very little difference between the parties in creating this very circumstance as alluded to by Mr. Meyerson. Yet, I believe Mr. Meyerson must ask himself and others as to what effect those funds to bail out the wall street frauds still extant in the trillions (now marked literally to anything as per misguided legislated FASB rule change); and funds frittered away in foreign lands for the benefit of war profiteers / military industrial complex would have been on the nation’s citizenry / prospects if spent domestically.  Literally, fortunes were made through misguided action / corruption at the expense of the many and that has become standard operating procedure and a bi-partisan reality that all the ruminating in the world won’t change. I agree with Mr. Meyerson that america is ‘no land of opportunity’ (30 Statistics That Show That The Middle Class Is Dying Right In Front Of Our Eyes As We Enter 2012   The Economic Collapse see the 30 statisics here ). At the same time I’m constrained to remind him that america’s pervasively corrupt ( http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm , Presenting 2011's Top 10 Most Corrupt American Politicians  ) and as well, insurmountably defacto bankrupt ( America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke.

Unemployment rate drops to 8.5 percent A burst of hiring in December pushed the unemployment rate to its lowest level in nearly three years, giving the economy a boost at the end of 2011. The Labor Department says employers added a net 200,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent, the lowest since February 2009. The rate has dropped for four straight months.

Tech predictions for 2012COLUMN | From market bubbles to tablets, Wadhwa gives his five predictions for technology in 2012. (Washington Post) [ This generally comports with my own view that american (global) technology is vastly over-rated. The biggest strides (ie. The Internet, etc.) have been made and capital constraints are a bigger factor than ever. There’s really nothing new here; yet mention of the ‘pricing power’ dilemma in light of the actual cost of most such devices (also in terms of functionality) as mentioned, including pc’s and ‘macs’, is on the mark.

Obama missing the mark on defense? President Obama’s defense strategy — and the assumptions underlying it — need a closer look. (Washington Post) [ I really don’t know what the editorial board really is; but that’s the only reason I’m commenting here (on this one) given their most recent, shocking ‘contributions’ to the discourse. First, let’s begin with a  fundamental reality; viz., america is hopelessly and insurmountably defacto bankrupt (34 Shocking Facts About U.S. Debt That Should Set America On Fire With Anger  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com   ‘We have all been lied to.  For decades, the leaders of both major political parties have promised us that they can fix our current system and that they can get our national debt under control.  As the 2012 election approaches, they are making all kinds of wild promises once again.  Well you know what?  It is all a giant sham.  The United States has gotten into so much debt that there will be no coming back from this.  The current system is irretrievably broken… Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff, the U.S. is facing a "fiscal gap" of over 200 trillion dollars in the future.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article that he did for CNN...The government's total indebtedness -- its fiscal gap -- now stands at $211 trillion.. The fiscal gap is the difference, measured in present value, between all projected future spending obligations -- including our huge defense expenditures and massive entitlement programs, as well as making interest and principal payments on the official debt -- and all projected future taxes…#33 If you add up all forms of debt in the United States (government, business and consumer), it comes to more than 56 trillion dollars.  That is more than $683,000 per family…). Second, I’d like to know how these unaffordably expensive military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) welfare programs have succeeded in accomplishing anything but the defacto bankruptcy of this nation, created fortunes for the war profiteering few, while fomenting (justifiable) anti-american sentiment globally (that ‘destructive thing’ that rational people abhor). Third, $489 billion in cuts over 10 years (however ‘sold’, ie., ‘new strategy’) is nothing relative to the enormity and insurmountability of the nation’s debt. What need’s a closer look is not so much the ‘new strategy’; but rather that failed abhorrent old strategy, however repackaged, and those who made it. After all, it doesn’t matter so much what they say, as it does what they do. A glaring example is the ‘war on drugs’ given america’s unequivocal involvement in same (infra). As for wobama missing the mark on defense, there isn’t anything whatsoever that wobama hasn’t missed the mark on. Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender.

In N.H., Romney steps up attacks on Gingrich(Washington Post) [ Yeah … he’d better get going, ratchet up the rhetoric; after all, slimy newt’s just gotten the endorsement of ‘celebrity mobster madman’s (trump’s) apprentice’, ‘gary the b’ (for berserk) busey (most notable for his role in the film ‘Tomcats’ as the guy with only half a pair of b**ls!) (Drudgereport: Gary Busey Endorses Gingrich... ). Five myths about Ron Paul  (WP) [ For me, the litmus test for any candidate, though somewhat personalized, is generally applicable to the entire national electorate. It falls within that very broad category; viz., ‘been there, done that’. It is no mystery that the current wobama regime, et als are trying in every which way to censor, obstruct, and otherwise control the free-flow of information, particularly now the internet, which really works against failed administrations as that currently in place. By every measure you can gauge the success or failure of a presidency, wobama the b for b***s*** is an abject failure. There is not one reason based upon what he said he would do last time around, didn’t do, but as we now know had he done as he said the nation would have clearly been better off this day. He basically continued the policies of the prior failed presidency of war criminal dumbya bush, including the same or similarly connected players, despite having campaigned vociferously condemning same  (CIA lawyer says Obama administration backed and continued virtually all Bush-era programs Natural News ). Clinton was the luckiest of all recent presidents in having the benefit of the peace dividend to smooth things over, by way of the one and only but very significant accomplishment of Reagan / Gorbachev; yet, he found ways through deep-seated mental issues to fail, which we all endured as if watching a soap opera unfold. Incompetent george h.w. bush (‘poppy’) was basically the ‘cia in disguise’ which kept up the ops which included that snookering of then american proxy, sadam hussein, by u.s. ambassador april glaspie (see more here infra) (george h.w.bush was also ambassador to communist china and we all know how that’s turned out for america; but, ‘they’ and ‘theirs’ have made a bundle.. poppy and clinton were tied by ‘virtue’ of their cia / Mena, Arkansas cocaine drop / connection [ for me that connection was devastating to my RICO case which involved the laundering of drug money through the trump casinos in atlantic city,n.j., and poppy is after all, war criminal dumbya bush’s father ( see ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm     , and, america also leads in the illegal drug trade, infra ) . .. calls for impeachment ..‘fast and furious debacle’.  Despite campaign promises, there have been no high level prosecutions of the wall street frauds which are still extant in the trillions. That ‘8%’ unemployment; don’t completely dismiss same as they may just have enough of their stand-ins to work exactly 1 day to be counted;that’s at best... as they’ve done, manipulate/fudge/outright lie about the numbers (actual unemployment is beyond 15%). Gingrich actually carved out exceptions for fraudulent wall street to the applicability of the RICO Act to their frauds, among many other unscrupulous acts which will emerge; along with having sought the endorsement of mobster, mental case trump.. romney follows suit with a trip to kiss the ring of failed president poppy bush while cow-towing as all but Paul to the israeli lobby. So I, as should be so for the entire nation, say results count. (For me, it’s resolution of those corrupted RICO matters). Reality counts. What’s gone before has failed;new direction, policies are required. After all, Einstein did say, paraphrasing, ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ is insanity. Ron Paul’s still standing!

 

Both Sides Now ( actual lyrics – This is a great song and among those I ‘play’ on the guitar! )

 

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons ev'rywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on ev'ryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living ev'ry day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and dawn, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall

Seriously, are these ‘journalists of late’ drinking ‘hopium-laced kool aid’? Sure sounds like it!

For those hurting most, Fed’s remedies limited The limited policies the Federal Reserve has at its disposal mostly put money in the hands of the affluent.

Milbank: Candidates for sale (Washington Post) [ Mr. Milbank’s truly outdone himself this time. A known ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ aficionado/enthusiast/defender/apologist (pathetic in and of itself), Mr. Milbank forgets to first include the already bought failed president, none other than  ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ who did not do what he campaigned on doing precisely because he was bought. Wobama’s such a glomming golem / slug. Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine .. Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1. Who is Ron Allen that claims to be with your Presidential camp, who is alleged to claim that someone claiming to represent me called asking for $100,000, to keep me from coming forward about our (Obama and I) November 1999 encounter of sex and cocaine use?), ... Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

 

 

2011's foreclosure rate lowest since ‘07 But RealtyTrac cautions that the decline does not necessarily indicate that the housing market is getting better. (Washington Post) [ It was not long ago that the so-called data they’ve provided going back several years was not real at all. Yet, even assuming arguendo the same as true, with some implicit nudging from washington in this election year, I think this temporary phenomenon reflects the reality of the marketplace and the plethora of inventory; viz, foreclose, sell, to whom? Many lenders are opting for ‘care-taking of the property’ despite default on this multitude of ‘underwater’ properties with worse to come despite the addictive ‘hopium’ factor. Apartment construction spurs 9.3 pct. jump in housing starts, but level remains low Associated Press  (Washington Post) [ ‘All dressed up, and no where to go’. Apartments? Sure, when they leave those underwater / foreclosed homes they’ll need someplace to go, assuming you believe this election year ‘data point’ which isn’t that good to begin with (‘…Still, the rate is far below the 1.2 million homes that economists say would be built each year in a healthy housing market…’). But come on! … scandal-scarred commerce department? … election-year desperation? … I don’t believe the numbers for a second, even if they were viable (they’re not).

Manufacturing jobs are coming back The strongest two-year growth since the late 1990s. (Washington Post) [ Wow! Talk about ‘hopium addiction’ and the ‘hallucinagenic/delusional’ effects therefrom. Clearly, the Editorial Board’s dreamin’ in this piece which probably should have been left for the more ‘business saavy’ at, ie., Bloomberg, etc.. There has been a structural shift that cannot be undone.

We have made it legal for big corporations to send millions of jobs to countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages, where the tax burden is much lighter and where there are barely any regulations.  The following is a brief excerpt from a recent article posted on Economy in Crisis....

Back in the ‘80s, I called my friend Walter in California and asked: “On your next expansion we need a plant in South Carolina.” Walter replied: “We don’t produce anything in the United States. It’s all in China. China furnishes you the plant on a year-to-year basis. If your investment works out, you don’t have to pay any corporate tax; just reinvest it for another plant and more profit. If it doesn’t work out, you can walk away with no legacy costs. I send a quality controller to watch production. I check on it every day. I don’t have any labor, health, safety, or environmental concerns, and have time to play a round of golf.” The bleeding of jobs off-shore started in the ‘80s — now hemorrhages under Bush and Obama. Waiting for the economy to bounce back; calling this “the worst recession” is a bum rap. The reason the economy hasn’t bounced back since 2008 is because the economy is being off-shored…’

As financial crisis loomed, Fed leaders lionized Greenspan, documents show Many economists now say the former chairman contributed to the crisis and the resulting recession (Washington Post) [ Indeed, what an incompetent, self-aggrandizing publicity hound the senile greenspan. As a one-time cobol-programmer, similarly ‘that unforeseeable thing’ regarding his $100,000 fee (back when $100,000 meant something – a lot of money as a fee- long before his/helicopter ben’s fed days) for a ‘clean bill of health’ for the S&L/bank that failed not long thereafter, he admittedly just never thought far enough ahead about that y2k, extra digit problem. For those hurting most, Fed’s remedies limited The limited policies the Federal Reserve has at its disposal mostly put money in the hands of the affluent. But a wide range of research shows that instead of spending that money, wealthier people are more likely to save it, doing little to foster economic activity.

Time running short for Greek debt deal Upcoming bond payments and the growing influence of investors threaten to undermine the process. (Washington Post) [ WAIT… WASN’T THE GREEK ISSUE SOLVED ALREADY? January 12th, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com ‘Greece is in big trouble.I realize that 99% of commentators have completely missed this fact. After all throughout 2011 the mainstream financial media published stories claiming that the Greek Crisis was solved.However, the reality is that Greece remains in Crisis mode. The country has only 37 billion Euros left from its first bailout package. And the second bailout package is anything but guaranteed.

Indeed, as the below story reveals, the two financial backstops for Greece (the IMF and Germany) are in no place to pony up more cash.Analysis: IMF funds for Greece not assured IMF chief Christine Lagarde is warning Europe that Greeces economic prospects are deteriorating and the European Union will either have to pony up more money to rescue Athens or debt holders will have to stomach steeper losses.Unless the private sector or the EU contribute more to Greeces rescue, the International Monetary Fund will view the nations debt load as unsustainable and may be unwilling to deliver more funds, IMF sources told Reuters as Lagarde met with Germanys and Frances leaders in EuropeBut talks aimed at getting private-sector creditors to shoulder a bigger part of a new Greek bailout are going badly

 

 

Ron Paul’s achievement After a quarter-century in the wilderness, he’s within reach of putting his cause on the map. (Washington Post) [ At first blush, I thought by this headline this article to be Mr. Krauthammer’s vailed attempt at sarcasm. After all, as a jewish man himself, I’ve yet to see him take a position that could in any way be even remotely antithetical to israeli interests; and yet, one would have to be blind and dumb not to realize such zionist / pro-israeli policies as foolishly adopted by the u.s. have been unequivocally antithetical to american interests. The testament to the merger of contraindicated american ‘interests’ with selfishly construed israeli interests was that display of wildly cheering israeli agents on the banks of the palisades in Weehawken, n.j. at the sight of the burning / exploding / symmetrically imploding trade towers (including bldg. 7) on 911 (contriving such a ‘pearl harbor event’ a neocon / military industrial complex / israeli wet dream come true. Later history might even write this as the ‘albatross incident’ for america). The great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex whose interests and welfare programs have merged with those of the militant illegal-nuke totin’ israelis whose interests suddenly merged into puppet-in-chief wobama despite wobama’s campaign rhetoric to the contrary upon which he was elected. Parenthetically, President Eisenhower never took any crap from the terrorist begin / israelis in contravention of American interests in the region.  I truly don’t know what being a libertarian means; but I do know that a junkie/thief/methamphetamine addict from virginia who stole some (very valuable to me) items from me here in Socal had a father who was one and he professed being one of sorts himself though questionable (ie., his ‘phony’ business card with an ‘in God we trust’ logo, etc.). The importance of Ron Paul is to point out the unsustainability of ‘same old / same old’ without reason, purpose, advantage to any but the very greedy short-sighted few, though substantially detrimental to the nation. After the cold war’s end, with peace dividend to grace clinton, the substantial achievement of Reagan / Gorbachev, if america had literally ‘done nothing’ rather than having embarked upon the ‘money-eating / war-profiteering’ adventurism along with ‘that engagement thing’ with communist china so hailed by former ambassador to china / cia man bush, no nation could have caught up to and passed america; some and then many have and are destined to do so (what the heck, decades at best anyway). The fed has failed all mandates for which it supposedly exists. They’ve literally helped consummate for the intended benefit of the few, frauds in the trillions, to the substantial detriment of the vast majority and the nation itself (among other culpable acts, ie., $4 trillion missing at the new york fed, over-printing of  the ever more worthless dollars, etc.). For the israeli lobby, reality is a frightful thing. For pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, reality is also a frightful thing.

OPINION | Petri: The dangers of the Stop Online Piracy Act  (Washington Post) [ Dangers, dangerous indeed! History is replete with such attempts to censor / restrict access to information; none of them positive outcomes; ie., nazi germany, repressive totalitarian regimes too numerous to list, with the pattern the same. Even more troublesome / problematic is the timing which coincides with the government’s widely criticized (online, deservingly and realistically so) incompetence in light of a debt / financial / economic crisis that although obfuscated by the government itself and mainstream media pliably derivatively thereby needs the independent scrutiny and discussion engendered by such egregious failure of government and their see, hear, speak no evil minions. Things are indeed that bad and would deteriorate far further and more rapidly by any attempt to put this ‘good genie’ back in the bottle. History, including that of recent vintage, shows such attempts invariably fail, inevitably planting as with the ‘Oedipal Effect’ the seeds of their own demise. Moreover, the freedom sought to be crushed in the name of something that won’t be effectively accomplished thereby is among the very, very few positive things that can be said of pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.

A credit to the ‘anti-pipa/sopa movement’, the internet being the final refuge for honest, intelligent dissent, discourse, information, and expression which has been saved and has created an important dichotomy; viz., those for and those against the freedoms of speech, expression which have long been held dear in this nation and a source of pride. Oh, as I’ve said before, there’s no question but that such freedom has indeed militated against such failed regimes as we see where stifled, including pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america where such nations’ debilitating failings would otherwise at best be recognized and acted upon ‘too little and too late’, if at all. Such nations as are disposed to suppressing speech and the free flow of ideas remain exactly that; namely, failed nations for which all hope is lost, with such despair and purblindedness pervading even those upper echelons of power along with the masses which leaves said nations / regimes mere cripples, virtually paralyzed to rise to the occasion presented, despite short-term advantage in terms of ephemeral and fleeting control.

 

OPINION | Petri: The dangers of the Stop Online Piracy Act  (Washington Post) [ Dangers, dangerous indeed! History is replete with such attempts to censor / restrict access to information; none of them positive outcomes; ie., nazi germany, repressive totalitarian regimes too numerous to list, with the pattern the same. Even more troublesome / problematic is the timing which coincides with the government’s widely criticized (online, deservingly and realistically so) incompetence in light of a debt / financial / economic crisis that although obfuscated by the government itself and mainstream media pliably derivatively thereby needs the independent scrutiny and discussion engendered by such egregious failure of government and their see, hear, speak no evil minions. Things are indeed that bad and would deteriorate far further and more rapidly by any attempt to put this ‘good genie’ back in the bottle. History, including that of recent vintage, shows such attempts invariably fail, inevitably planting as with the ‘Oedipal Effect’ the seeds of their own demise. Moreover, the freedom sought to be crushed in the name of something that won’t be effectively accomplished thereby is among the very, very few positive things that can be said of pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america.

 

 

 

Will: A case that threatens the Constitution (Washington Post) [ If it was only just one case (/ legally framed issue) threatening the Constitution, there might be a shred of reason to hope. Then theres the question(s) concerning the jurists themselves with so much riding on the outcomes, particularly regarding the Constitution, such as it is in its shredded reality as opposed to legal theories / principles / rules of law in any meaningful sense. Once upon a time, I wouldnt in my wildest dreams have thought americas highest courts (and not so highest) to be so fraught with corruption owing to brazened criminality at the highest political levels in the land. It wasnt always this way. My favorite jurist, Oliver Wendel Holmes had an uncanny knack for synthesizing / distilling complex factual, including commercial / business scenarios into useful principles of law of practical application ( ie., the law lending foreseeability to consequences of actions particularly in the realm of business transactions / activity, the legally permissible -with very few exceptions- use of threats of doing what one legally can do so the affected party could avoid such consequences, etc.). Parenthetically, I thought it hilarious that a comment (on The Washington Post site) concerning an alito misstep on the supreme court was that ‘alito makes Clarence Thomas look like Oliver Wendel Holmes’Very funny! The point is, in the world of Holmes jurisprudence, the law really meant something, had teeth beyond the arbitrary enforcement we see today (often politically or monetarily motivated amazingly even for the judges themselves and brazenly in plain sight at that), providing predictability of outcomes which in turn fosters lawfulness, business investment, civility, and prosperity. How far pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt banana republic america has fallen. Heres some (theres far, far more) reality from direct experience (in pertinent part):

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk .. as per your office’s request as made this day…

  • 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, 3rd 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’.
  • 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 ..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.) .

Meyerson: The post-industrial bust (Washington Post) [ Mr. Meyerson’s quite right! This is a post-industrial bust; but, it’s actually substantially worse than that. The debt levels, particularly in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america, are insurmountable and unsustainable (America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion’). Moreover, there’s nothing in terms of technological advance even remotely approaching the magnitude and broad scope of the Internet. More ominous is the fraudulent use put to the lightning speed computerized capabilities, particularly on churn-and-earn wall street, in terms of fraud, cover-up, rehypothecation of fraudulent, worthless, paper / toxic assets / securities over and over again so as to create worthless bubbles increasing in size by geometric progression defying whatever futile attempts (none seriously) to either account, value, manage, or prosecute same. This includes the fed’s failed, obfuscating QE’s and the latest as astutely attested to by Dave Fry: Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GEITHNER & BERNANKE WANT TO PUMP YOU UP January 25, 2012 [ Dave is ‘spot-on’ and really gets it right! Except, this is actually worse than a Ponzi scheme inasmuch as they are printing and debasing the ever more worthless fiat paper Weimar dollar currency for which there is ‘no free lunch’. Once again you’re paying for the frauds (including the churn-and-earn high frequency computerized trades) on wall street by the higher prices you pay as a direct consequence. This is a despicable, doomed to failure as previously despite obfuscation, government sponsored/sanctioned fraud. ]  ‘Geithner suggests the economy is getting stronger. Bernanke says the economic recovery is fragile. He elects to print more money to reinvest maturing Treasury bonds into more mortgage-backed securities. These securities will then mature and the Treasury indirectly will have to redeem them. This is a Ponzi-Scheme. And, while the Fed prints money, Bernanke states the U.S. should be reducing our fiscal debt. (He didn’t even blush.) Basically what he and his comrades want are higher prices for stocks and everything we buy in order to avoid the Japanese experience of deflation…’

Milbank: GOP attacks don’t faze Bernanke (Washington Post) [ True enough, in a rare instance of a point made by Mr. Milbank beyond just political correctness and his affection for wobama et als. As I’ve said before, like water off a duck’s back is the effect of deserved criticism on wobama which also goes for bernanke, and as well, their ilk. He and his have become part of the problem, not the solution. And, as with the jive-talking wobama the b for b*** s***, helicopter ben b.s. shalom bernanke is incompetent and has no shame despite his persistent failures at the helm of the fed. Remember, despite the circumlocuted obfuscation, you’re ultimately paying for his manipulation including the latest. There’s ‘no free lunch’  (bernanke … the Italian? German? African? Sounds like it could be … oh, wait … that’s right … they changed their name ‘to fit in’).

U.S. economic recovery picks up pace The GDP is up, but for many Americans, the “recovery” so far seems hardly worth celebrating. (Washington Post) [ Come on!

Maddow was referring to the fact that December 6, 1995 marked the initiation of a preliminary inquiry into the allegations against Gingrich for ethics violations. At the time, Gingrich was under fire for his alleged misuse of political contributions. Maddow played clips from NBC news' 1995 archives to tell remind viewers of what she called Gingrich's "ethically dubious past," and the "Republican disgust for Newt Gingrich as Speaker [of the House]."She also highlighted that when the House voted on whether or not Gingrich was guilty of ethics violations, 395 members of the House voted against him. "This was not a partisan vote," Maddow said, adding that 196 Republicans voted against Gingrich at the time."So when Gingrich talks now about those ethics violations back then being part of some partisan witch hunt, what you need to say back to him is, 'Hey. 395 to 28. Wasn't that the vote?'"

In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated.

U.S. economy grew at fastest pace in 18 months Nation’s on-and-off recovery picked up its pace again as the economy grew at a rate of 2.8 percent for the end of 2011. But employment numbers continue to lag, and this disconnect contributes to a sense of gloom. (Washington Post) [ Disconnects indeed, including this rather ebullient headline! I don’t even buy that, quite separate from what I believe to be ‘election-year-friendly’ but false jobs data, which is still bad ‘compared to what’.. There’s plenty of desperation to go around; but, that’s no excuse. Q4 GDP Misses Estimates, Inventory Stockpiling Accounts For 1.9% Of 2.8% Q4 US Economic Growth The US economy grew at a 2.8% annualized pace in the supposedly blistering fourth quarter, yet the number was a disappointment not only in that it missed estimates of 3.0% (and far higher whisper numbers) but when one looks at the components, where a whopping 1.94% of the upside was attributable to a rise in inventories as restocking took place. And as everyone knows in this day and age a spike in inventories only leads to sub-cost dumping a few months later. In other words, the economy grew at a 0.8% pace ex inventories. Yet for all intents and purposes, this is considered "growth." ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com   GEITHNER & BERNANKE WANT TO PUMP YOU UP January 25, 2012 [ Dave is ‘spot-on’ and really gets it right! Except, this is actually worse than a Ponzi scheme inasmuch as they are printing and debasing the ever more worthless fiat paper Weimar dollar currency for which there is ‘no free lunch’. Once again you’re paying for the frauds (including the churn-and-earn high frequency computerized trades) on wall street by the higher prices you pay as a direct consequence. This is a despicable, doomed to failure as previously despite obfuscation, government sponsored/sanctioned fraud. ]  ‘Geithner suggests the economy is getting stronger. Bernanke says the economic recovery is fragile. He elects to print more money to reinvest maturing Treasury bonds into more mortgage-backed securities. These securities will then mature and the Treasury indirectly will have to redeem them. This is a Ponzi-Scheme. And, while the Fed prints money, Bernanke states the U.S. should be reducing our fiscal debt. (He didn’t even blush.) Basically what he and his comrades want are higher prices for stocks and everything we buy in order to avoid the Japanese experience of deflation.

Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail. A lawyer and libertarian scholar who had long advocated privatizing Social Security — and once acknowledged taking payments from Jack Abramoff to write favorable op-ed pieces about the lobbyist’s clients — Ferrara said he talks to Gingrich almost daily…’), and the frauds on wall street will just love his social security privatization / new blood for the infamous blood-sucking squid (goldman sachs), to keep the ponzi padded with fresh dough once again on the backs of taxpayers (kind of a ‘k street’ kind of drain).

In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated.

Obamas best surrogate Gingrich boosts the presidents reelection prospects. (Washington Post) [ Indeed, that’s what’s being said across the board. You can count on Mr. Milbank having his fingers crossed for a slimy newt candidacy. Snooty newty, literally a self-proclaimed ‘revolutionary’. Che Gingrich! I can almost envision the posters / t-shirts. It’s really quite amazing / tragic! Narcissistic personality disorder? Could be. See here: Hes So Vain, Hed Be Right in Thinking This Post Is About Him By ANDREW ROSENTHAL NYT  http://loyalopposition.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/20/hes-so-vain-hed-be-right-in-thinking-this-post-is-about-him  …You cant set too much store by press releases from one campaign about another, but I have to say that Mitt Romneys team has come out with a devastating one. Its titled, poetically: “‘I think Grandiose Thoughts A Selection of Speaker Gingrichs Thoughts Over The Years.

It cites some of the most breathtakingly self-congratulatory statements that Ive ever seen from a politician, and that is a high bar.

Last month: I think I am a transformational figure. (Shouldnt there have been a footnote crediting Barack Obama with that line?)

In 1985, when he was a backbencher in the Reagan G.O.P., to put it generously: I want to shift the entire planet. And Im doing it I represent real power. (Maybe that explains global warming.)

In 1992, when he was on the verge of becoming Speaker of the House, one of the most non-revolutionary things you can do: I am essentially a revolutionary.

And in 2005: I first talked about [saving civilization] in August of 1958. Its fairly impressive that Mr. Gingrich remembers the exact date he first mentioned saving civilization. Too bad its now been almost 54 years and he still hasnt done it.

All politicians love to compare themselves to previous politicians, and Republicans especially love to compare themselves to Abraham Lincoln, whose Republican Party, of course, had no connection to the current one apart from the name. But Mr. Gingrich truly excels at this, as in all other matters egotistical.

The Romney news release, which is carefully sourced, contains examples of Mr. Gingrich likening himself to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher (another revolutionary, essentially), Woodrow Wilson, Henry Clay, Charles de Gaulle (arent Republicans supposed to disdain the French?), William Wallace (from the movie Braveheart, not the actual William Wallace); the Duke of Wellington (presumably not for the beef or the boots), Thomas Edison, Vince Lombardi, the Wright brothers, and any old Viking. And Moses…’ [ In this respect, viz., potentially suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder, he’s not so different from wobama the b for b***s***]: ‘… During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency.

The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln just in terms of what weve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

My Baby Shot Me Down

 

Writer: BONO, SONNY / REYES, SENEN / FREESE, LOUIS / FERM, DEMERICK SHELTON  Recorded: Frank Sinatra ‘She Shot Me Down’ 1981

(Actual lyrics in pertinent part)


I was five and she was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
I wore black and she wore white
She would always win the fight

Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down …


Petri: Grandiose Gingrich overruns awful Romney  Rubin: In debate, Gingrich meets his match (Washington Post) [ ‘Same Debate: Two views, the news, two different views’.

"Tea for Two" (recorded 1947 Frank Sinatra / Dinah Shore) (Music/Youmans Lyrics/Caesar)

 

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

 


{actual song in pertinent part}

I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own.

Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's
weary chase is unknown.

Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty
caress the streams.

Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in.
Don't let it abide in my dreams.

Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you and you for me, alone! …’

 

The two faces of Newt Gingrich With few campaign advisers to keep him on track, the candidate is showing his nasty side. (Washington Post) [ Yes indeed, we see ‘both sides now’ of ‘nasty newt’; as ominously warned by the sound from beyond of none other but Frank { Performed by

Frank Sinatra 1968, Written by Joni Mitchell First release Both Sides Now by Judy Collins on audio album Wildflowers (November 1967) }

Rows and flows of newt’s white hair
And icy screams from bombs in the air
And unfettered cannons ev'rywhere
I've looked at mushroom clouds that way …

Once again snooty newty has raised the ire of Frank from beyond as Frank feels compelled to chime in on behalf of his shadow, also known as sammy, as in sammy davis, jr., who is also a spook; you know a ghost. And no, sammy was not one of the spooks at the cia who are a bunch of spooks, and so indirectly Franks chimin in on the cias behalf as well. Sing it Frank (with your shadow, sammy):

Me and My Shadow

 

snooty newty and his shadow

Strolling down pennsylvania avenue
snarky newty and his shadow

snooty newty and his shadow

All alone and feeling black and blue

‘cause snooty newty and his shadow
just got mugged in front of wobama’s temp house too

 

 

ComPost : The stupidest attack on Romney yet  (Washington Post) Mais oui, il est tres stupide, que triton visqueux (But yes, he is very stupid, that slimy newt). I personally took (the mandatory foreign language grade 7-10) French and even brushed up here in LA while contemplating a move to Geneva, Switzerland, Europe, which of course has obviously changed along with EU prospects, the EU having so foolishly gone along to get along with the now fallen american way (I’m really not good with languages, being ‘hard-wired’ with my initial language, ie., my facebook response to query, ‘I took French; but I have no facility with languages (including computer programming languages) other than what I initially learned and some code (html, etc.). I think I should invest in one of those electronic translators.’). Even Frank’s  angrily chiming in with his displeasure with snooty newty from beyond :

I Love Paris  (Writer(s): Cole Porter) (Recorded 1959, 1960 Frank Sinatra)

 

I love Paris in the spring time
No room for newt on the ballot in the fall
I love seeing newt splinter this winter when he fizzles
I love seeing newt the bummer in summer when it sizzles

 

Newty seems dumber,

Really don’t have to wait for summer,
to see that bummer newty fall

 

In U.S., mental illness is no rarityAbout 20 percent of American adults suffer some sort of mental illness each year, government survey finds. (Washington Post) [ As if anyone should need reminding, indeed it is true that mental illness is no rarity in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america. In fact, as could reasonably be expected, this referenced survey is by the government and substantially understates the prevalence of mental illness in america, which government study is belied by the conservatively applied using updated DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria, private 2004 National Comorbidity Survey, Ronald Kessler et als, which found 1 in 3 (30%) americans to have suffered some sort of mental illness each year, and 50%, 1 in 2 to have suffered same in their lifetime. I believe the latter referenced private survey, though more accurate than the former referenced government survey (predictably-government interested bias), though dire, still substantially understates the prevalence of mental illness in america which sports the highest crime rates in the world by far including that for serial killers (Though having but 5% of the worlds population, the u.s. has 76% of the worlds serial killers,   http://www.albertpeia.com/realifeamericaserialkillers.mpg ). Absent are unreported / undiagnosed, criminals among others, and a rather insular few (including capital hill, oval office, wall street, etc.). I would put the yearly number more realistically at 4 in 5 (80%) and the ‘in lifetime’ number a percentage in excess of 90%. I believe this evolved trait of criminality, coincident with mental illness to be inherent in the american populace for a multitude of reasons.   

 

Milbank: House GOP plays debt charades (Washington Post) [ Well, if there’s one thing that wobama and his minions know something about, clearly it’s debt.

Krauthammer: The GOP’s suicide march (Washington Post) [ Wow! Mr. Krauthammer must have been having a ‘bad hair day’. Suicide march? I don’t think so. I even was compelled to look up his (vaulted mis)use of ‘manichean’ (definitions infra) in his rather grimly devised piece. Whew! Time to break out the ‘sackcloth and ashes’. I truly have never seen Mr. Krauthammer so ‘off his game’. If one can’t appreciate the ultimate ‘raison d’etre’ for the occupy movement vis-à-vis the egregious, gargantuan, still unprosecuted wall street frauds, clearly, that person’s not been paying attention; and, to ignore same is to do so at the nation’s peril [ Obama flush with financial sector cash The president has managed to raise more money this year from the sector than any GOP contender. (WP) [ So much for obama and OWS; but how ‘bout wobama and obs … yes, more ‘obama b*** s*** !

I often point to the stupidity of americans generally, but not so dumb to ignore the most basic math coupled with common sense relative to these nation-debilitating, unjustifiable frauds, boondoggles. At this juncture I feel obliged to state that I haven’t voted for decades (kind of along the lines of ‘George Carlin’s famed defense of his own non-voting record which he justified by reminding all that Hitler came to power in a full, free, democratic election by a landslide’). Yet, on all the ‘big ones’, I’ve always taken a prior position based on the ‘reality’ of the prospective result. May I humbly say, I’ve never, ever been wrong. These are ‘debates’ …’words’… geared toward positioning one or another for the opportunity of the ‘big job’. To expect anything less than at least a ‘little bit of juglar’ is a bit naïve. So calm down Mr. Krauthammer; nothing’s been lost. Testament to Mr. Krauthammer being ‘off his game’ here is his positing of ‘wobama the b for b***s***’ as being smart. Au contraire Mr. Krauthammer! Wobama’s quite dumb! If smart, wobama would have done as he said he would do last campaign, and the nation would have been far better off for it! Parenthetically, look to who’s pushing the censorship bills; now, that’s political desperation! To cheer Mr. Krauthammer up, there’s also that egregious ‘Keystone’ misstep which even The Post’s Editorial Board felt compelled to point out. We’ll just chalk this up to ‘(temporary) situational anxiety disorder’.

Greece Has No Idea What Its Gotten Itself Into February 6th, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com   Grahams note: the following is an excerpt from a recent issue of my Private Wealth Advisory newsletter with some additional research I did on the economy of Greece.

The Greeks have no idea what theyve gotten themselves into.

A few facts about Greece

First off, demographics wise, Greece is a disaster.

Real Clear Markets shares the following facts.

  • Greece’s fertility rate is 1.3 children per women. This is nearly a full child below the “replacement rate”: the number of children needed to maintain the current population.
  • Greece’s population of 65 and over has soared from 11% in 1970 to 24% in 2010. It will hit 33% by 2050. Meanwhile, Greece’s working population will decline to 20% over the same time period.
  • Because of this, Greece spends 12% of its GDP on pensions.

As if this werent bad enough, the unemployment rate for Greeks aged 15-24 is 40%. For Greeks aged 24-34 its 22%. Imagine being a young person, not being able to find a job, and then knowing that huge percentage of your efforts (42%) are going to be taxed to fund all the crazy social welfare programs for Greeces aging population…’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meyerson: GOP demonizing of Europe is ridiculous (Washington Post) [ Only in the sense that what’s said of europe applies to pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america many times over (somewhat loosely in the realm of that ‘rubber and glue’ defensive word play / repartee that is of familiar use among children). Yet, I’m absolutely astounded by how dumb the europeans have proven themselves to be; ‘snatching defeat from the jaws of victory’ at every turn; displaying a naïvete that makes one wonder just how much an impact those anthropologically famed Neanderthals had on the region. After all, if they really thought that a very desperate, insurmountably debt-ridden and defacto bankrupt america was going to welcome the initially very successful euro in competition with the over-printed, ever more worthless fiat paper weimar dollar with open arms, they then are candidates for swampland in jersey, watches, brooklyn bridges, etc..

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

The Posts View The Senate didnt do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board Theres still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers. (Washington Post) [ So much for nobody being above the law! I quite agree that absolutely no ambiguity; indeed, no wiggle room whatsoever should be countenanced in this legislation. Actually, an outright ban would be a more cut and dry approach and desirable. Objections? Dont run for office if you dont like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a public service sacrifice to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating). Yet, it still comes down to the meaningfulness of the laws, particularly relative to arbitrary enforcement; and, for those who believe the courts will apply those laws as written and intended, Im constrained to say from direct experience: You dont get out much! http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm     http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  http://albertpeia.com/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia.com/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  

 

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month, Labor Force Participation Rate Tumbles To Fresh 30 Year Low A month ago, we joked when we said that for Obama to get the unemployment rate to negative by election time, all he has to do is to crush the labor force participation rate to about 55%. Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million. Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 year low of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation.. it can only mean that the US is replacing high paying FIRE jobs with low paying construction and manufacturing

Then do the following calculation with us: the US civilian non-institutional population was 242,269 in January, an increase of 1.7 million month over month: apply the long-term average labor force participation rate of 65.8% to this number (because as chart 2 below shows, people are not retiring as the popular propaganda goes: in fact labor participation in those aged 55 and over has been soaring as more and more old people have to work overtime, forget retiring), and you get 159.4 million: that is what the real labor force should be. The BLS reported one? 154.4 million: a tiny 5 million difference. Then add these people who the BLS is purposefully ignoring yet who most certainly are in dire need of labor and/or a job to the 12.758 million reported unemployed by the BLS and you get 17.776 million in real unemployed workers. What does this mean? That using just the BLS denominator in calculating the unemployed rate of 154.4 million, the real unemployment rate actually rose in January to 11.5%. Compare that with the BLS reported decline from 8.5% to 8.3%. It also means that the spread between the reported and implied unemployment rate just soared to a fresh 30 year high of 3.2%. And that is how with a calculator and just one minute of math, one strips away countless hours of BLS propaganda.

When Will The Government Quit Putting Out Fraudulent Employment Statistics?  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com  http://albertpeia.com/governmentfraudulentemploymentstats.htm  ‘On Friday, the entire financial world celebrated when it was announced that the unemployment rate in the United States had fallen to 8.3 percent. That is the lowest it has been since February 2009, and it came as an unexpected surprise for financial markets that are hungry for some good news.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payrolls jumped by 243,000 during the month of January.  You can read the full employment report right here.  Based on this news, pundits all over the world were declaring that the U.S. economy is back.  Stocks continued to rise on Friday and the Dow is hovering near a 4 year high.  So does this mean that our economic problems are over?  Of course not.  A closer look at the numbers reveals just how fraudulent these employment statistics really are.  Between December 2011 and January 2012, the number of Americans "not in the labor force" increased by a whopping 1.2 million.  That was the largest increase ever in that category for a single month.  That is how the federal government is getting the unemployment rate to go down.  The government is simply pretending that huge numbers of unemployed Americans don't want to be part of the labor force anymore.  As you will see below, the employment situation in America is not improving.  Yet everyone in the mainstream media is dancing around as if the economic crisis has been cancelled.  I can't take it anymore!  It is beyond ridiculous that so many intelligent people continue to buy in to such fraudulent numbers…  http://albertpeia.com/Labor-Force-Participation-Rate-440x264.png  , http://albertpeia.com/Employment-Population-Ratio-440x264.png … ,  Long-Term Unemployment Remains High, Millions Leave Labor Force Matt Cover | Number of long-term unemployed was unchanged at 5.5 million in January, near its record .. , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CONTROVERSIAL JOBS REPORT STOKES BULLS February 03, 2012 ‘The jobs report Friday was a ginned-up number but the media and algos don’t look under the hood much it seems. Yes, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3% and 243K new jobs were created and perhaps the number itself will boost confidence.My favorite book from college statistics was ‘How to Lie with Statistics’. I believe the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) may have ripped a chapter or two from the book. The details were interesting and little reported because the media has soap to sell. First a whopping 1.2 million people vanished from the labor force in 2011. That is a massive seasonal/consensus driven adjustment. The BLS assumes those people aged 55 and higher died from the 2010 consensus. (So much for living longer in the USA!)This means the labor force fell to a 30 year low of 63.7%. Around 113K of the gain in employment came from low wage jobs according to CRT Capital Group. Also part-time jobs rose by 699K, the third highest in history, while only 80K full-time jobs were created. Finally, the ISM Services Report, which rose to 56.8 from 52.6, included an increase in sector employment from 49.8 to 57.3, but perhaps didn’t include large sector bank layoffs.

That said which militates against such an extension, this is an election year which probabilities suggest makes highly likely the passage of the extension. I favor your co-sponsored legislation and before the holidays simply in the name and spirit of Christmas and for no other reason whatsoever. Below is a recent comment to Opinion Writer Krauthammer’s ‘more war spending (Keynesian) position’ and an article regarding the folly of same. Immediately following is from my prior post to you concerning something of such manageable proportion and well within the government’s ability to resolve (if the government can’t accomplish this consistent with law and long overdue, then there isn’t anything the government can accomplish), along with other comments to you for ease of reference:

‘…As previously noted in a prior message to you, I had previously spoken to FBI Agent Bill Lewis in Washington who was recently promoted to the FBI Headquarters Office (D.C.) from the FBI office here in LA, and who was to be out of the office for the two weeks past. I’ll be contacting him given a reasonable time for him to ‘catch up’, from being out of the office. While independent contractor richard coan is ultimately the one to bear the burden of damages (there’s insurance and a surety covering same), coan might allude to the prior default of the u.s. government (assist. u.s. atty. robert i. lester miscounted / miscalculated the time for filing an answer / response to the complaint upon service thereof, also misstating the rule in open court before corrupt judge matz who ‘schmoozed’ things over (they both have the same employer), however incorrectly according to the ‘law’. I ordered / bought a copy of the transcript of that rather pathetic proceeding (posted in part on my website). In any event, regardless who pays me, the amounts so paid would ultimately be recovered from coan, his insurer/surety which amounts might even exceed the amount I’m willing to settle at. [There is also a judgment (referenced in the correspondence to FBI ADIC Martinez infra) that 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 would benefit Los Angeles, etc.; and then, of course as well, the substantial damages. ] I’ve waited far too long for this matter to resolve, what should have been resolved in accordance with clear law long ago;  and, which would have been resolved if not for typical u.s. corruption in the process; and, which is well within the government’s ability to resolve. In my world and way of thinking, results do count! I’ve included prior correspondence for ease of reference…’ http://albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm

In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

Ireland struggles to regain economic footing The nation has tried to closely follow the playbook set out by the IMF, but the depth of its problems and outside events have made progress difficult. (Washington Post) [ Difficult to keep up with the piiigs as in, which one, which problem, and then, the biggest pig of all by far, pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america (  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion )   .  European Solidarity - "Everybody Knows The Spanish Are Lying About The Figures”Back in October, when Greece was rewarded with further bond haircuts for progressively missing its economic targets, even after having gotten caught on at least one occasion making its economy appear worse than it was, we said that it is only a matter of time before "Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy will promptly commence sabotaging their economies (just like Greece) simply to get the same debt Blue Light special as Greece." In the aftermath of this statement, we got the Irish and the Portuguese proceeding to slowly but surely do just that. Today, it was Spain's turn to make it 3 out of 4 after as Reuters noted so appropriately, "Spain defies Brussels on deficit target" clarifying that "Spain set itself a softer budget target for 2012 on Friday than originally agreed under the euro zone's austerity drive, putting a question mark over the credibility of the European Union's new fiscal pact. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insisted he was acting within EU guidelines because the plan was still to hit the European Union public deficit goal of 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013." That Italy is sure to follow is absolutely guaranteed, however just because the ECB is now indirectly monetizing BTPs the true impact will be delayed far more, and instead of taking prompt steps to remedy the situation, the European complacency will be accentuated by the fact that bond yields are very low, and supposedly indicates the true state of the economy. No. All it indicates is the conversion of future inflation (courtesy of €1 trillion in new money in the past 3 months) for a very temporary respite before all hell ultimately breaks loose as countries pretend everything is ok as bond yields are pushed artificially low. And in doing nothing, the fundamentals in the economy only get worse and worse.

Underwater borrowers may find snag Despite HARP revisions, AIG unit’s stance may stymie loan relief for some underwater borrowers. (Washington Post) [ Snags indeed! First, there are plenty of them; so many in fact, a logistical, statistical, numerical nightmare. Second, the securitization underlying much of the debacle lent itself to and is rife with frauds of such magnitude so as to be in some ways beyond manageable proportion, and not for the faint of heart given the nuanced legal and factual complexity intertwined with same.

Bum Rush Editorial Board Republicans can no longer avoid their Limbaugh problem. (Washington Post) [ One of those instances when the Editorial Board is absolutely correct. I’ve always found the war mongering ‘amen corner’ of talk radio particularly to be counter-productive for the nation and the world, not to mention the republican party itself. Yet, there’s no denying that he does make some good points because there are so many good points to be made owing to egregious failure, incompetence, and corruption on both sides of the isle. The foregoing ‘point’ however, clearly, was definitely not one of them; nor is the following:  Limbaugh: Ron Paul “Sounds Like An Islamic Terrorist” Steve Watson | Says he would have no problem with TSA detaining US Congressman. [ Ah, come on. You got to infer something’s supplanted limbaugh’s hillbilly heroin and clouding his judgement. He’s watched too much ‘24’ (while sampling his ‘talk radio’ among others, he’d talk of this show as if reality) ‘under the influence’ which has had the desired mainstream hypnotic effect on his bloated / clouded perspective; the king of ‘hillbilly heroin’, flushed rush out on a limbaugh (even to the point of deafness – that’s quite a compulsion).  ]

Five myths about Vladi­mir Putin (Washington Post) [ Much like many of problems globally, from strife to economic / financial fraud / instability, the myths are of particularly american and western origin; and, a consequence of their seething envy of and resentment toward this talented, great leader of an historically great nation.

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holdiong their breath.

Energy Dept. failed to act as Solyndra sank (WP) [ This stuff is becoming all too typical. I believe it’s time to start questioning what federal employees get paid for. After all, pervasively corrupt america is defacto bankrupt (  America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion ) . Moreover, america’s pervasive corruption, even crimes,  has become synonomous with the machinations of any number of federal agencies / departments / all branches of government  (ie., DOJ – holder/fast and furious/race bias UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT JUSTICE...ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims , Fannie / Freddie Mac , SEC destroyed documents, senator says 17 Aug 2011 ‘The Securities and Exchange Commission destroyed documents and compromised enforcement case ...   Sen.Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence…’ Report: SEC lawyer exposed FBI informant (WP) [the sec liar (sic – lawyer) typically with a ‘pre or post’ arrangement, whether implicit or explicit; that ubiquitous ‘bribe thing’ in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, fallen  america.

As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

The Posts View The Senate didnt do enough to stop insider trading Editorial Board Theres still too much ambiguity on rules covering lawmakers.

Actually, an outright ban would be a more cut and dry approach and desirable. Objections? Dont run for office if you dont like the rule. After all, Washington politics has strayed a long way from being a public service sacrifice to rather an extravagantly accoutered, very costly to the public, but lucrative end in itself; and worse, regardless of results (the fiefdoms seem to be self-perpetuating).

The following two comments sum up my view on the subject.

Moreover, I truly and seriously think they are a bunch of a**h***s. Indeed, their 'games' are pathetic and an insult to intelligence and typify the nerdy, neurotic persona of their founder(s) zuckerberg et als (I don't begrudge them their money but he is painfully neurotic from what Ive discerned);  and, contrary to the spin, ****************** I initially signed up for website representation and was 'tagged' by some old friends from high school and even earlier without which I'd otherwise be inclined to delete my facebook account.  If they were interested, they could sign up on the LATimes site, etc., themselves. This process of commenting is not brain surgery and for 'politically motivated' companies as facebook and the aforementioned, have the potential for a greater chilling effect on 1st amendment protected discourse. That facebook has become intrusively political is a testament to their 'hearing footsteps' of a fad of 'modern-day-hula-hoop' proportion; at the least, of 'also ran status' and hence, their entree into such arenas as this as the unavoidable but redundant 'middleman'. Publishers don't need them and should realize that. At most, it should be optional, which wasn't the case for some comments, despite my being signed in with the LATimes site, username, alpeia.

Frankly, i avoid commenting systems that use the Facebook model. I don't need my friends getting my comments on subjects they could care less about, or getting my comments that are diametrically opposed to their own particular viewpoints. We all have differing viewpoints on matters, and most of us know not to discuss those subjects with our friends that may (or are) rabid or reactionary.
 
So...when I post a comment regarding my leftist Kennedy Democrat leanings, I don't need it to be sent to one of my best friends who is a die hard Republican and former "operative" in Massachusetts politics. Similarly, I'm an agnostic while my brother is a born-again Baptist. Do I want him to get missives via Facebook every time I post somewhere regarding the lack of logic exhibited by the true believers?
 
We are all bombarded with information overload every day, taking up more and more of our time and brain bandwidth. I only want information that is relevant to me, and I'm sure my friends, family and business colleagues feel the same way.
 
Just think of the way the newspaper or LATimes website is structured: designed in sections so that the people interested in sports, food, politics etc. can access that info readily, without having to sift through and look at a bunch of extraneous info they could care less about.

Sad day for me!

We had to put down my great companion Nikki down today. Almost 12 years old Great Pyrennes (they were bred do guard sheep and protect them from bears and wolves). Truly a great dog who had a mind of her own and was loyal and I will really miss her. I have owned 3 great dogs in my life and all have lived to old age for a dog. It truly makes your heart feel sad when you finally have to say good-bye.

I hope my kids pull the plug on me so I don't suffer or are ever a burden to them.

Nikki, I will miss you!

Happy, healthy birthday to you and best wishes for many more to come! You may have noticed some news stories surrounding the earthquake damaged Washington Monument (or not
Washington Monument remains closed msnbc.com ) which brought to mind that long weekend excursion to D.C. you may recall (just a few years ago) upon Wals recommendation since AU was sporting an outdoor concert [Little Richard(whats up with that?) turned out to be the warm-up band to the featured band, Procol Harem] and there was to be a massive protest / demonstration / camp-out at the monuments (and of course to hear Forest Gumps speech just kidding). The (evening) concert in their amphitheater was cool and stylishly late 60ish, early 70ish. Its at this point that youll have to rely on my memory of the events immediately thereafter. As always, we were in search of babes of easy virtue (the free-lovin hippie girls were made to order for expedient, pseudo-hippies at best like us looking for a proverbial roll in the hay, euphemistically speaking). In fact, you shrewdly from a hawking perspective hooked up with a bunch of hippies at the concert and proceeded to get quite stoned while smoking what you assumed was just pot throughout. At the end of the concert, Wal gathered us up to head to the monuments where huge numbers were camped out for the rallies the following day. When we finally found you, you were sitting with just a few of the bunch you were with, unable to speak, stand, or move at all. You seemed totally paralyzed. We asked them what they were smoking to which they replied, pot laced with angel dust (pcp-I didnt even know what it was). They assured us youd be okay by morning. Finally, since Wal seemed to be in a rush to get to the monuments, we literally had to guide you by arm to the car and through the monument campout grounds at a very brisk clip for reasons only Wal could explain, stopping to speak to no one [ You guys had mentioned that at Woodstock (I couldnt get off work at Arcola Pool) Wal was a bit freaked by all the havoc and particularly the unsanitary conditions, even to the point he was refusing to check out the naked babes swimming openly without inhibition which you guys were really into, by your accounts. ] You were indeed fine by the next day, and we partied / got drunk and we wound up at The Waff. Wal was totally drunk, had a black water pistol (looked like a .38 cal) , and was squirting everyone. Suddenly, out jumped two plain clothes cops (I assume DC Police Detectives FBI always announce / show their badges). Wal was so drunk he was still laughing and shooting the water pistol even as they slammed him up against the wall, guns drawn and pointed to his head; even as I was yelling at their over-reaction; and that it was a water pistol. As bad as that was, in todays environment, wed likely have been shot. (I think this was the same weekend as the concert).
Happy Birthday Eggi!

I could not sleep last night and went for a bike ride at 3:00 AM. No one on the road but made me think that we are getting a lot closer to the backstrech. And I used to think my parents were ancient.

ALSO FOR MY BASKETBALL CHALLENGE I WENT TO THE PARK TO SHOOT YESTERDAY. I PROBABLY HAVE NOT SHOT IN ABOUT 8 YEARS AND DID A FEW WARMUPS AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE 37 FREETHOWS IN A ROW. I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY IMPREESIVE FOR A 61 OLD.

I had an interesting challange from a 33 year old guy at work who never even
played high school ball. He said he could kick my ass in hoops. I know I can
still shoot, because you never lose that and I now I can always post my fat ass
to the hoop. I wonder if i could still kick his butt a age 61. My guess is a
definite yes .GAME ON.

Gotback from the dentist with two new crowns for my front teeth from my bycyle accident. Amaszing what they do with modern technology. No more making molds, they can scan your teeth and you get a perfect match. Plus, I got great feedback from the 30ish hygentist that I am now good looking again...!!!! Jill is in San Diego visiting our son Jason and I wish I could be there.

Al Peia

Hey Wal:

I could have made this more cruel (but our longstanding friendship, upon reflection, got in the way and I deleted some) ***************. To save you from yourself and from becoming a facebook / internet bully, I write (and I'm smilin' as I do so) as follows:

 

Wal, I'm surprised and take umbrage at your insensitive remarks and on behalf of short people everywhere, I write in response to your observation immediately hereafter: '12-17-10 Gary Wallen Chalk it up to cold Darwinism, cultural standards, or the simple feminine desire to have a man around who can reach the top shelf, but just about every stature study in the last 20 years confirms what short guys already know: women prefer taller men.[ Wal, I believe this to be among the greatest insights into 'short people' since randy newman's hit song of the same name.] ...It's nice to be 6''5". I didn't know the average height for a man in the USA is only 5'9".' [***** And, I'm sure that 'great stature thing' was what the dinosaurs were sayin' just before ..... then there were the archaic modern human antecessors ..... I think we should ask the Chinese, Japanese, etc., what they think ... my own (different female sexual partner) liasons numbering in the low to mid hundreds (no exaggeration - and I can truthfully say that every girl among them I truly liked) probably meant, fortunately for me, said girls had not read your surveys ... The only direct experience (hardly a random sampling for statistical validity) concerned that attractive 'Ridgewood girl' in the convertible with a mini-skirt that left little to the imagination who chose a short guy (me at 5'6" over that 3 varsity letter man you kept reminding her - I won't mention your dangling, by a string of saliva, throat lozenge that landed on her lap which I'm sure helped 'seal the deal') over that big guy (you at 6'5") ... Then there's Napoleon, Putin, Jefferson, Washington, etc.. There's also danger (liasons dangereux) as Julian Assange can attest to and I also experienced in light of my RICO litigation on my 'road to interim / temporary sacrificial celibacy', which has been great for my concentration ... It's brain size / capacity, short and simple, in the new century particularly, as it always was! ( About 23 million years ago hominoids appeared in the form of primative apes. It was from one of said primative apes that the family of man, Hominidae branched off 6 to 5 million years ago. The bigger brain and consequent ability to manipulate environment were the key to evolutionary success. The Darwinian model of a steady, gradual 'fine-tuning' of natural selection has been totally disavowed by all experts in favor of the view that natural selection is a conservative force, acting rather relatively quickly, to maintain a species adaptation. )

 

Finally, Wal, you may remember the first time we had gotten stoned. I was living in Seacrest Beach (summer, 1970) and you came down for the week. Two girls I had previously met on the beach apparently scored some pot (and probably needed a place to smoke it) stopped by; and we smoked some (I snitched a little which we were to continue smoking later.) Truth be told, in what was probably the only instance where being short was of a distinct advantage, I was paired with the smaller (about 5'4"), very cute and pretty blonde cheerleader from Parsipany, while you got the near 6' but also attractive friend. The pretty blonde and I retreated to my bedroom. Unfortunately for you, the tall girl you were with was bitchy and witchy (you may recall she was a self-proclaimed witch who had also dubbed me, 'Alday'. Our attitude concerning such personality quirks was one that comported with our rather shallow, jockish, but very expedient mindset with girls; viz., as long as they were attractive and 'put out', just fine ... or as they say here (in southern California) in the valley, 'whatever'). When they left, we smoked what was left of the pot, and you immediately began cooking up food (munchies) and as I watched you, you appeared to be moving in a very jerky but slow motion fashion (like a slow motion, 15 fps old silent film) to which I called your attention more than once also attributing same to your being stoned ... Finally, you abruptly stated that it was I who was stoned which I hadn't realized up to that point but suddenly realized was true. But it was also true that we were both stoned. ] ... JUST FUNNIN' WITH YOU, WAL! Regards, Al

 

----- As I previously related to Charlie Crane regarding that '21 questions thing' on facebook, and in light of your prior inquiries: The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays). Hey Charlie! Thank you for your vote of confidence and kind remarks. I think you're correct on all counts. The last I heard (1992) you were doing extremely well (I think running a new car dealership and making loads of money, etc.). I remember in 7th grade you kept the class in stitches with your spontaneous, often hilarious humor, and in high school you were very prominent and tough on the football field. However, you did err regarding a girl (initials B.R.) in our 7th grade class who while wearing tea shirts then (you reminded her), wound up by high school having among the biggest pairs of t***s in the school.

 

The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays). Regards, Al

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar). The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ]. Continued December 19, 2010 at 4:31pm · Like Al Peia Cont’d The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . ...See More December 19, 2010 at 4:32pm · Like

Thank you for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. It's springtime and 'back when' as now, the same meant spring break. In discussing spring break with the instructor at the LATTC workout facility where I worked out, I told him the story you may recall of our spring break excursion to Fort Lauderdale / Daytona ('Where the Girls Are'). I also told him that you guys would never let me live this down ... but that I deserved not being able to live this down ... he couldn't stop laughing. Though set up by Steve with a great pad, viz., Harvey's plush apartment, we were not able to get any babes back to said pad. Indeed, the prevalence of 'sopers(sic)'(muscle relaxants/downs) made Steve's apartment, despite early unbridled enthusiasm including 'air guitars' to 'Gimme Shelter', look like the sight of a bomb blast with bodies strewn about, having 'fallen out' (except for that one 'curious' guy whom we'd invariably find struggling to stay awake and not 'fall out'), when we returned from our (unsuccessful) hawking rounds on the strip. We found this quite amusing and stuck to our 'smoke/boone's farm apple wine' regimen. We then went to Daytona where we met 3 attractive girls whose hardluck story was that despite having rented for the week, the landlord of the motel said they were to leave (in favor of some guys who had probably paid him extra). In what I described to some as 'my first legal case', I felt this to be wrong (I had business law and at the least this was breach of contract) and threatened to go to authorities / mayor's office to register a complaint. He relented, and the girls kept their room and came back to ours. We smoked hashish and we all got totally stoned. The truth is I was so stoned, I couldn't make up my mind which girl to go after and was as you aptly put it, 'floatin''. Daytona / floater, you guys rightfully got on my case for that one. I'll never live that down.

Hello Ellen:

 

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. You may recall (just a few years ago) at Steve Marcus' Bar Mitzvah at B'Nai Birth (?) how I walked into the chapel sans yarmilke and shawl and got a few looks. Your Dad interupted his duties to attend to my 'lapse in protocol' and escorted me to a separate room and supplied with same. He seemed amused by it all which I thought was very cool; and, I thought to myself what an nice, intelligent, and balanced man he was.[ In today's environment, such as it is, I would probably have been accused of anti-semitism and taken out back and shot ... just kidding! (such an accusation would have been ridiculous then as now). ]

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. I could not help but notice your eclectic taste in and knowledge of such a wide variety of music. I've pretty simple musical taste (classic rock - ie., Beatles, Stones, Doors, Yes, Grand Funk, jefferson Starship, Supertramp, Creedence, Fleetwood Mac, etc.), some pop (ie., Cats, etc.), and of course, classical. I did see a reference to roller skating and you may recall our 'wild sessions' of same at the Church gym. I must say that to this day I'm somewhat ashamed of our youthful indiscretion / bad judgment in subtly mocking 'little hooky'.

As for your jersey government complaints, I've found mob-infested jersey to be totally hopeless [ You might find this link interesting re: same  http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf    (I'm waiting on the FBI whose position will determine mine)  - plus, as pertains to the political scenario including the mob, sean hannity lives in jersey, so what can you expect.  ] .

 

I include the following which in the process of updating / completing my skills / knowledge  base were part of exercises therein (also on my website):

 

I support the police 100% for good reason and previously wrote: CITY ON EDGE: Cash-Strapped Newark, new jersey Forced To Lay Off 14% Of Police Force... [ From decades old (1978-1985) direct personal experience with newark, n.j., the police are the absolute last cuts that can be afforded to be made. Indeed, 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 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 went to jail. 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). (Other newark / new jersey and new york, n.y. metro, viz., ie., connecticut, and of course, d.c., d.c. metro, viz., ie., virginia experience … corrupt federal judges as maryanne trump barry, sam alito, shiff, matz (california), hall, underhill, dorsey, etc..

Hey Wal:

Happy, healthy new year to you and your family. My changed number was to 'magic jack' (I recommend it) since my att/sbc (jersey / bushland) phone line became unusable, affecting my dsl line which I dropped in favor of Time Warner Cable / Internet. I last spoke with the FBI in January, 2011, who informed me that 'they printed out the documents on the disks', which is, in their somewhat cryptic way of saying, a good thing. Their position will determine mine. I'll let you know when I do.

Regards,

Hey Charlie!

Thank you for your vote of confidence and kind remarks. I think you're correct on all counts. The last I heard (1992) you were doing extremely well (I think running a new car dealership and making loads of money, etc.). I remember in 7th grade you kept the class in stitches with your spontaneous, often hilarious humor, and in high school you were very prominent and tough on the football field. However, you did err regarding a girl (initials B.R.) in our 7th grade class who while wearing tea shirts then (you reminded her), wound up by high school having among the biggest pairs of t***s in the school. The following is what I'm waiting on (note the disks sent twice to the FBI were waylaid by the u.s. postal service and finally delivered by UPS, causing delays).

Steven M. Martinez, Assistant Director In Charge
Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ
11000 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Dear Sir:

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages) [ ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf ].

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as fbicorrespondencereyes.htm . With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

(continued)

Al Peia

‎(cont’d)
In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

1. 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..
2. 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.
3. 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 ]
4. 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 ]
5. 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.
6. 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, 3rd 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’.

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

Sincerely,

Hi Lorraine:
Thanks for the tip. I could always use some weight loss; but, frankly, when I so choose I use the 'old wrestling diet' of not eating. You look healthy. I remember in first grade, we used to compare lunches in our 'little lunch boxes' (do they still use them?) and you gave a thumbs up to my least favorite lunch 'cheese sandwich', saying your grandfather told you that cheese was good for your teeth, which made my subsequent least favorite lunches more palatable. Wal (Gary Wallen) has always been a cheese aficionado, so much so that he earned the nickname 'cheese' / 'cheeseburger' at American U. where we used to visit Wal on a very fun campus. (I can attest to Wal's affinity for same from our 'shoretime party days' and when we worked together at Arcola Pool).

Regards,

Al

Thank you for your gracious and overly humble comment. Over time, such things become less and less important and I can't say that I actually recall that, per se. As we both know, wrestling was never a pleasant undertaking and although I respect(ed) the sport, I made it a point never to set foot on a mat off season. You may also find it somewhat ironic that I actually had made the basketball team (Hubie Brown for whom I had high regard was varsity coach and Richie Szura
the J.V. coach), which sport I enjoyed; and in a meeting arranged by Dan Deluca (I had won a tournament in junior high and the match against the rival Thomas Jefferson Junior High) with Coach Szura wherein Szura nicely but candidly told me that although I had made the team, "that I wasn't the tallest of angels" (which I thought was very funny and we all laughed) and essentially I'd be warming the bench while Deluca guaranteed me a varsity letter for wrestling the easy matches since varsity wrestler Richard Zocco was having difficulty making weight (he never made weight). As trite and cliched as it sounds, it was the varsity letter guarantee
that sealed the deal (and in my mind, the prospective "help with the babes therefrom" - actually, it was only the pretty sophomores with whom it ultimately paid dividends so to speak - how very high school). I had a great Coach in Roger Saunders who recruited me to NYU (Roger and his brother Richard, a CIA agent/mechanic, were both national champions). Wrestling has always been an important learning experience for me. Such a kind and humble remark as yours
deserved a greater explanation.

Hi Al,
 
I know of you from my old wrestling coach, Ron Pollack.  I know that you wrestled at NYU, and that you won the Met Championships.  I am writing a book about my own experiences in wrestling, judo, and ju jitsu.  I wrestled in the Met championships in 1984 when they were held at NYU, and I remember seeing an old newspaper article they had on display that talked about you winning the Mets in '72 or '73.  You beat Pollack in the finals.  Pollack's coach was quoted in the article as saying that Ron "gassed out", I'm assuming from nerves.  I am really interested in the phenomenon of "choking" in a sports event due to being nervous.  I was wondering if you had any memories you could share about this particular match?  I know it was a long time ago, but if you do remember anything I would appreciate whatever you could share.

Hello Ethan:

The mother of one of our team mates worked with Ron Pollack's dad who kept telling her how badly Ron Pollack was going to beat me (some others played him up saying he consistently beat his team mate stu pruzansky by substantial margins and other such things). In fact, he took an early lead with a take-down that he was quite good at and I was looking for (something between a firemans' carry and a barrel role)[1972]. However, by the end of the match, he was quite haggard, in tears, and I actually had to hold him up on the podium. My tougher match was the semi's where I met two-time defending Met Champion Ed Rufrano (he got a special trophy for scoring the most team points over a period of time). He was quite strong and although I won, I had slipped a cervical disk (for which I ultimately needed traction - I couldn't even do a push-up after a couple of days which is very humbling when one relies so much on will-power). I had also beaten Ron in the finals of the Freshman Met Tournament. I was injured by the end of the season in the two prior intervening years (interestingly, the neurologist for the herniated disk pointed out that my bones were relatively small compared to my musculature/body-mass). I was fortunate to have a great coach in Roger Saunders (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA Agent/Mechanic, were both National Champions). I couldn't imagine Roger saying one of his wrestlers "gassed out", even if true. Ron certainly didn't "choke" in the first period, if at all.

I really appreciate your insights about this.  I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days.  I only knew him when I was in  high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis.  He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Roger Saunders was my coach at NYU and clearly, a great one at that, who subsequently went to Bloomsburg where he was ultimately Athletic Director on last info. Bob Metz had quite a few winning teams at FDU, but he was not Saunders whose brother's wrestling success I alluded to so as to emphasize his wrestling prowess as no fluke. The last I heard of Dave Pruzansky he was diving out of a window of his house to evade police who had busted his drug-dealing operation. As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest. I included reference to pruzansky because they developed a very curious, bizarre, and almost gang-like mentality within their "wrestling click". Upon information, many (if not all) of their clique "amped up" on amphetamines before their matches. Very close to their clique was the very weird and corrupt ref spike israel. The very quiffy spike israel had a "little buddy" jim fiore and had recruited David and his little buddy (among others) to Temple University to which he had some connection, and actually attempted to recruit me to same. I didn't take him seriously; firstly, because he told everyone he had been a state champ (bull s**t); secondly, because he had screwed me in a high school match wherein I had pinned leonard pruzanzky in the first period (I had him on his back almost the entire first period and israel gave me no back points, 2 or 3 for near fall, let alone the pin, and just the takedown and I lost by a point on riding time-leg ride). In an open tournament (I think Stroudsburg?), I was looking at the seedings/pairings/chart and David came up behind me pointed to my entry and said to the guy he was with that I had beaten his brother leonard. Roger required our team during one Christmas break to compete in my first and only free-style tournament. I was up two weight classes and David won quite handily. That was the third time I had beaten Ron and frankly, I did grind him into the mat and kick his ass for the late balance of the first period and the remainder of the match.

 

The following is a reply on facebook to someone who said I beat him in wrestle-off and

completes my wrestling story.

Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Truly, thanks for all your info.  Interesting that you should mention Spike Israel.  I am assuming that the word "quiffy" is code for "gay".  Spike was coach at Tenafly High when I was in high school, and was known to "like boys".  Apparently he taught the Tenafly guys only one move, the Granby roll, which they were all quite good at, but very little else.  Besides Ron in the early '70's and Steve and Dave Yale in the later '70's Tenafly basically had no decent wrestlers during that period.  Not really sure if this was a coaching issue or recruiting issue.  Our high school (DMHS in Englewood) had former state champ Bob Hurley (Bergenfield) as our assistant coach and former state runner up Reggie Williams (Hackensack) as head coach, and we also fielded very few good wrestlers during those years.

To: "Al Peia" <[email protected]>
Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 2:07 PM

I really appreciate your insights about this.  I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days.  I only knew him when I was in  high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis.  He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Al Peia Hello Ellen:

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. You may recall (just a few years ago) at Steve Marcus' Bar Mitzvah at B'Nai Birth (?) how I walked into the chapel sans yarmilke and shawl and got a few looks. Your Dad interrupted his duties to attend to my 'lapse in protocol' and escorted me to a separate room and supplied with same. He seemed amused by it all which I thought was very cool; and, I thought to myself what an nice, intelligent, and balanced man he was.[ In today's environment, such as it is, I would probably have been accused of anti-semitism and taken out back and shot ... just kidding! (such an accusation would have been ridiculous then as now). ]

Regards,

Al

I hope we're referring to the same German teacher that taught at Fair Lawn High, in the classroom across from my social studies class with that prejudiced zionist hebrew bichler (My yearbooks were among the items stolen in jersey). He was husky, bald and had congratulated me subsequent to my upsetting defending Regional Champion harvey gold in the District Tournament Finals. He took out some of his competition photos including high-bar gymnastics which sport always amazed me inasmuch that was an inherited trait of ancient primates that never manifested in me, nor did I even think of trying. He also praised the sport of wrestling because you
use every muscle in your body, which is true. I like Russia (and what's not to like about Russian girls), but not when they were the Soviet Union and I was very happy when Latvia got it's independence which made me think of Eggi, and particularly Eggi's dad who was extremely intelligent, cultured, and talented. Wal took Russian, I took French; but I have no facility with languages (including computer programming languages) other than what I initially learned and some code (html, etc.). I think I should invest in one of those electronic translators. I work out at LATTC's gym/workout center. It is unlikely that I will ever set foot in the state of jersey again since I have more well connected (mob, etc.) enemies there than I care to think of.

    • Albie, I thought there was only one German teacher....... I really did not know what an athlete he was. He must have loved our school though. We had the best athletic program!
      I don't know if you remember Lew Detmering or not. I have know him since I was taller than he was. I was three and he was two. He was my neighbor. He told me about a year ago he went to a basketball game in Texas and who was the coach??? Hubie. He started singing in the stands when it got a little quiet. "Our strong bands can nare be broken..........., you know the rest of the alma mater....... Well Hubie turned around and started laughing. Lew's daughters nearly flipped because they thought their Dad was full of it saying he knew Hubie.
      We had some crew in our school. I feel sorry for the kids where I live. I work for the Dept of Juvenile Justice in FL and the kids here have no sense of community or family for that matter. The state has become the parents... Sad.
      Can't believe your yearbooks got stolen. YOU of all people not to have a yearbook with all you were in them!!!
      I didn' ever think I would speak another language, you should give it a try. Before I took German, I had five wasted years of Spanish and all I ever said in any language was Oi Vey!!!

    • In this last message reply to you, I relate the following:

      I was in Washington, D.C., at the law firm of reknown lawyer Edward Bennett Williams (even ego-maniac F. Lee Bailey conceded Williams talent?greatness, though Williams was more than just a lawyer, when lawyers were lawyers and not liars as today) on behalf of a client (Williams' firm represented the publisher - not The Washington Post for which I have high regard concerning their respect for the first amendment- and I was there concerning the contractually retained right of review and effectively, revision). It was there that I experienced the most astounding legal experience to date; viz., a word processor/typist who was able to type (not
      short hand/stenography) at speeds exceeding what you could read off a written page or even think for that matter, and with complete accuracy. I am amazed by anyone who types nearly as fast, which talent eludes me compounded by my antipathy for same despite having to do same quite a bit. It's not that I'm without manual dexterity (with a year's worth of lessons I could play the piano, albeit somewhat perfunctorily - my piano was among the items stolen in jersey). In sum, I hate typing and hence, I am not into this, so please do not take it personally as my prospective replies to your messages to me will be euphemistically if not accurately as follows:

Thank you for the second year in a row for the birthday wish, and though somewhat remiss in such things as this I'll make sure I don't miss yours. Sorry to hear of your medical difficulties and my best wishes for speedy recovery. As for your jersey government complaints, I've found mob-infested jersey to be totally hopeless [ You might find this link interesting re: same http://www.albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf (I'm waiting
on the FBI whose position will determine mine) - plus, as pertains to the political scenario including the mob, sean hannity lives in jersey, so what can you expect. ] .I include the following which in the process of updating / completing my skills / knowledge base were part of exercises therein (also on my website):

I support the police 100% for good reason and previously wrote: CITY ON EDGE: Cash-Strapped

Newark, new jersey Forced To Lay Off 14% Of Police Force... [ From decades old (1978-1985)

direct personal experience with newark, n.j., the police are the absolute last cuts that can be afforded to be made. Indeed, 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 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 went to jail. 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). (Other newark / new jersey and new york, n.y. metro, viz., ie., connecticut, and of course, d.c., d.c. metro, viz., ie., virginia experience … corrupt federal judges as maryanne trump barry, sam alito, shiff, matz (california), hall, underhill, dorsey, etc..

CBO: Budget produces $977B deficit in 2013Is Congress setting itself up for a pension crisis?  (Washington Post) [ If only it was just the pensions there’d be reason to hope! The Fed Isn’t Providing “Monetary Morphine”; It’s Spreading Financial Cancer That is Killing the Markets and Democratic Capitalism in General March 16, 2012 By gpc1981 http://gainspainscapital.comWhile the vast majority of commentators look at the market action of the last three months and celebrate, I cannot help but shudder. The reason is that the stock market has been propped up solely by Central Bank and/or Federal Government intervention or the hope of more intervention.That alone is worrisome as it indicates the stock market no longer cares for economic or financial fundamentals (something that has been clear for several years now).However, far more worrisome is fact that the Fed and Federal Government are now not only propping up stock prices, but are openly trying to crush other assets (especially politically dangerous commodities such as oil and gasoline) in an attempt to make it appear that inflation is under control.Consider the following: #1)   The sudden talk of “sterilized QE” or QE that won’t involve more money printing (read: There is No Such Thing as Sterilized QE). #2)   The sudden and curious collapse in precious metals (right after Bernanke says QE 3 isn’t coming anytime soon… only for the Fed to leak the “sterilized QE” talk a week after Gold and Silver collapse). #3)   The Government’s decision to unlock our Strategic Petroleum Reserves again (crushing gas prices which were the primary inflationary concern of the Obama administration) #4)   Those Wall Streeters close to the Fed (Goldman’s Jan Hatzius) predicting “sterilized QE” coming in April or June ALL OF THESE MOVES HAVE TWO GOALS:  #1)   Propping up stocks #2)   Crushing those commodities/ assets that are politically (and economically) dangerous (gasoline, food prices). The take away point that I’m trying to make here is that we’re now at the point of intervention in which the Fed is openly managing the markets right down to specific asset classes.Never in history has Central Planning gone well for either the markets or the economy. Wall Street and the mainstream media may cheer that stocks are up and inflation “transitory” (despite clear evidence that the latter point is false: the bond market indicates real inflation to be around 10%).

IMF agrees to latest Greek bailout The International Monetary Fund agrees to contribute $36B toward the latest bailout of Greece, deepening the agency’s financial exposure to a country that has become one of its most difficult rescue projects. (Washington Post) [ The latest, but not the last!

The Big Fat Greek Lie Is Now Obvious to Spain… So Who’s Next to Default? March 15, 2012 By gpc1981  http://gainspainscapital.com ‘The big fat Greek lie being spread throughout the financial community is that Greece has been saved. It’s a lie for the following reasons:

#1)   Greece did in fact default

#2)   Greece now has more debt than it did before the bailout (how does writing off €100 billion Euros in debt and taking on €130 billion Euros in more debt improve this situation?)

#3)   The Greek economy continues to implode (youth unemployment over 50%, one in ten Greek youth looking for jobs abroad, Greek GDP fell 7% in 4Q11)

#4)   This Second Bailout was indeed a “Credit event” which the markets have yet to discount (though German investors are already lining up litigation)

#5)   Germany’s finance minister has already admitted Greece may need a third bailout.

Anyone who thinks that Greece is better off, let alone “saved” is out of their minds. The Euro may have been saved for a few more weeks/ months. But Greece is in worse shape than ever.

Indeed, if anything, the Greek situation has made it clear that the whole “give up fiscal sovereignty and implement austerity measures in exchange for bailouts” formula is a waste of time and money. Let’s take a look at the progression here.

1)   Greece claims it doesn’t need a bailout at all (January 2010-March 2010)

2)   Greece begins to ask for a bailout (April-May 2010)

3)   Greece gets a bailout equal to 57% of its GDP (May 2010)

4)   Greece posts a GDP of -4% in 2010

5)   Greece announces it won’t be able to meet budget requirements/ payback the first bailout on time and asks for an extension (January-February 2011)

6)   Greece asks for another extension (May 2011)

7)   Talk of Second Greek Bailout begins (July –October 2011)

8)   Greece posts a GDP of -6.5% in 2011

9)   Second Greek bailout announced/ finalized (February/March 2012)

10) Talk of third Greek bailout begins (March 2012)

No other EU country could look at this progression and think “this looks like a good approach.” Indeed, Spain and Italy must be watching what’s happening in Greece and asking themselves whether they want to go through this whole process of negotiating for bailouts via austerity measures.

Both countries have already had a small sampling of the austerity measure medicine. Spain recently implemented a meager 19€ billion in austerity measures while Italy passed 30€ billion in austerity measures in 2011… hardly a drop out of their respective 1.06€ trillion and 1.5€ trillion economies.

Yet, even these tiny moves resulted in protests and riots...

But economists and oil experts say not so much — at least in the short term. (Washington Post) [ Oh indeed he is to blame; but, he’s far from alone in sharing the blame. When you print Weimar fiat paper money with no concomitant increase in real value (economic, simplistically stated), you get the familiar Weimar effect of increased prices, and not just for oil / gas (this will get much worse; and, to be sure, this strategy has never, ever worked). Food, meats particularly if you’ve been to the grocery store, are rising consistent with inflation rates far in excess of that reported. This, owing to the defacto bankruptcy of the nation in this election-year attempt at obfuscation for that ‘feel good’, ‘everything comin’ up roses’ effect. Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer On Fake Wealth Creation And Its Implications (Part 1)What is fraud except creating “value” from nothing and passing it off as something? Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization.

Voters blame Obama for high gas prices How much does the president have to do with the price of gasoline? A lot, say voters. But economists and oil experts say not so much — at least in the short term. (Washington Post) [ Oh indeed he is to blame; but, he’s far from alone in sharing the blame. When you print Weimar fiat paper money with no concomitant increase in real value (economic, simplistically stated), you get the familiar Weimar effect of increased prices, and not just for oil / gas (this will get much worse; and, to be sure, this strategy has never, ever worked). Food, meats particularly if you’ve been to the grocery store, are rising consistent with inflation rates far in excess of that reported. This, owing to the defacto bankruptcy of the nation in this election-year attempt at obfuscation for that ‘feel good’, ‘everything comin’ up roses’ effect. Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer On Fake Wealth Creation And Its Implications (Part 1)What is fraud except creating “value” from nothing and passing it off as something? Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization.

U.S. adds 227,000 jobs in February The gain was led by jobs in the professional and business services sector — many of them temporary positions — and the health care industry. (Washington Post) [ To the author of this article’s credit, she points to the important facts that the purported gains (I submit that these are but unaffordably uneconomic ‘electioneered’ electionyeared obfuscations, manipulations) were temporary positions in the services sector. While her name sounds at  least Asian if not Japanese, brought to mind are ominous words of the late brilliant Sony founder Morita who warned (america) that you can’t grow an economy by moving paper around (especially fraudulent / toxic paper as on fraudulent wall street); but rather, you must make (produce) things (which function has long since been transferred overseas; and which bell cannot be unrung owing to insurmountable costs attendant to so doing, particularly in light of the nation’s insurmountable debt). The astute at zerohedge.com weigh in:

The Part-Time Economy (Redux)

While not shocking to most, the jump in temporary workers that we cited earlier is perhaps the biggest indicator of job 'quality' gains. As we discussed here last month, the US market economy remains mired in a low quality (“first-fired, first-hired categories rather than the type of core hiring that would build a stronger foundation for income growth,”  as FTN's Jim Vogel describes it) recovery. About 160k of private jobs added in Feb are 'low-paying work' which left average hourly earnings up only 0.1% (notes David Ader at CRT) - hardly the recipe for a sustainable recovery and perhaps the slow leak in stocks post the number is the rude awakening to that reality. As w enoted before, "not only is America slipping ever further into a state of permanent "temp job" status, but that a "quality analysis" of the jobs created shows that the US job formation machinery is badly hurt, and just like the marginal utility of debt now hitting a critical inflection point, so the "marginal utility" of incremental jobs is now negative"

 U.S. adds 227,000 jobs; rate remains at 8.3%Employers in February completed three of the best months of hiring since the recession began. The Labor Department says the unemployment rate stayed at 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years. Wonkbook: Why a rising unemployment rate could mean a real recovery (Washington Post) [ I haven’t read the Wonkbook article because I’m sure from the headline it’s going to be total b***s***!

A rising unemployment rate could mean a real recovery because: *people are re-entering the workforce/job search *people are so encouraged by the economic resurgence that they are re-entering the workplace/searches for work *fewer people are dropping out of the work force *the labor participation rate is increasing because things are just dandy ….. Now I’m going to check before posting to the main article – # ‘many of the long-term unemployed never made it back into the labor force, and that the economy is producing less than it otherwise could’ #’ ... the labor force participation rate - the percentage of Americans working or looking to work - has declined to its lowest level since the 1980s. The strengthening recovery has reignited a long-running debate about how many of those workers will come back’ # ‘catch-up growth in the labor market, that may push back the return of full employment, and it may even temporarily increase the unemployment rate, but it will mean we’re seeing a fuller recovery’. I wouldn’t buy the aforesaid b***s*** even if it wasn’t an election year; but certainly, in light of the abounding desperation, don’t buy the b.s. in this election year.

Milbank: GOP ignores facts on gas prices (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout a dose of reality, Mr. ‘wobama apologist’ Milbank. How ‘bout the Dems and the GOP ignore the facts on oil / gas prices. Ultimately, no matter what the other exacerbating externals (Mideast strife, much of which is u.s./israeli/west initiated), this was inevitable owing to the insurmountable debt levels and the excessive over-printing and debasement of fiat paper currencies to obfuscate. That was always bad policy, bad sense; a bi-partisan phenomena.

The Bears Explain The Price Of Gas (Special GOP Primary Edition)In their own inimitable manner, the two bears are back to take on gas prices. Dismissing the higher demand thesis, concerns of the lack of supply, instability in the Middle East, and of course speculators (the same ones who were blamed for financial stocks' deterioration), our favorite speakers-of-the-truth point to what is the only relevant factor - the falling dollar. The Bernank once again stars for his schizophrenic perspective of asset price rises.

 

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

 

U.S. seeks clues in Syrian money trail The struggle to make sense of the transactions involving millions of dollars in foreign accounts by elites with ties to Assad underscores the degree to which many aspects of the uprising in Syria remain opaque to outside observers.

Whether it’s the 360 tons of $100 bills of taxpayer funds that just disappeared in Iraq, or the proceeds of the resurgent heroin trade in Afghanistan made possible by another illegal, unnecessary war, or the cash out of the wall street frauds in the trillions made possible by FASB rule change now marking worthless paper to anything (still there, frauds still extant, despite promises still unprosecuted), campaign quid pro quo protection, and on and on. Yes, indeed follow the money; though, without a doubt, don’t hold your breath for disclosure / exposure once followed / found. This nation is pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, has engaged in war crimes violative of international law,  Geneva Conventions, and they’re worrying about money trails to a foreign nation of no threat to this nation in what is now viewed as a u.s./israeli/west attempt to destabilize and foment civil war in said nation.

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At   http://endoftheamericandream.com ‘Is the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.

#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.

#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year - the most in the world.

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#7 The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#9 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

#10 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far.

#11 There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.

#12 The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the world.

#13 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.

#14 The United States has the most lawyers per capita in the entire world.

#15 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#16 Americans take more prescription drugs than anyone else in the world.

#17 More is spent on prescription drug advertising in America than anywhere else in the world.

#18 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.

#19 More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

#20 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire globe.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#22 There is more mortgage debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#25 U.S. citizens spend more time in school than anyone else in the world.  So why are so many of us dumb as a rock?

#26 Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

#27 The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

#28 According to nationmaster.com, the United States has the most total reported crimes in the world by far.

#29 Nobody has more airport security thugs groping women and children than America does.

#30 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.’

But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way. Back when I brought a RICO action involving drug money laundering (see infra) I never in my wildest dreams could have thought that reality to be so, yet indeed it is so.

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

Officials Rule No Payout on Greek Swaps Mar 1st, 2012 (NY Times) — The International Swaps and Derivatives Association said on Thursday that based on current evidence the Greek bailout would not prompt payments on the credit default swaps. { PG View  [ Peter Grant is USAGOLD's resident economist and a well-known analyst globally in the forex and precious metals markets ]  : This comes as no surprise as the ISDA was rightfully worried that the writers of such swaps wouldn’t be able to pay anyway; which likely would have required further bailouts for global financial institutions. The take-away though, is that CDSs on sovereigns aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on…} But the organization warned that the situation in Greece was “still evolving” and such payouts might be necessary in the future “as further facts come to light.”In the midst of the Greek drama, credit-default swaps, financial instruments intended to protect against losses on debt, have been a point of concern.As part of restructuring, bondholders will be required to take a 70 percent loss on their holdings.

Yes, that illegal drug’s something within the bailiwick of what america’s all about and knows about. Burning books? Well, Hitler did it. Winning hearts and minds; the meaningfully lawless, pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt americans.   Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. Natural News February 1, 2012  [  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  
http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

 

Pressing the Putin regime Editorial Board The Magnitsky bill will allow U.S. to push Russia on human rights. (Washington Post) [ How ‘bout pressing the ‘criminal american regime’. The examples of american criminality domestically and internationally are legion. From war crimes, to illegal wars based on lies, to substantial ongoing involvement in the illegal drug trade (even giving rise to war, infra), to substantial protected frauds in the trillions at the expense of the majority (of ‘poor slobs’, their view) domestically and internationally, the list goes on and on. Historically, thieves by nature, american criminality exceeds that of all nations/people by so wide a margin that the same defies comparison (the coverups would increase even those huge numbers in leaps and bounds – see infra). Everybody knows what mainstream media’s complicitly covered up for decades. I personally ‘view’ mainstream for the ‘pictures’ (visual) and news of the character of what they want you to be hearing, seeing, etc., and of course, quite separately, films. The grim reality of the real america is so sordid and despicable that’s it’s no small wonder the government’s spent decades infiltrating, concentrating, and then controlling with their fellow oligarchs the ‘news fit to be seen and heard’. The envy of america for nations that have stood the test of time is overwhelming, and Russia is foremost among them. Meaningfully lawless america fears a great leader as President Putin (yes, President and they all know it, are seething with envy and resent it) because there is no such equal or parallel in america since President General Eisenhower who never took any crap from those nefarious elements who now control the empty office of the u.s. presidency, including as he warned of, that military industrial complex, and any other monied interest, ie., wall street banksters, etc.. A nation in decline, americans only think they have such rights so long as they’re but a doormat for the pervasively corrupt american regime who unscrupulously abide by no law which was true of this fallen nation ab initio, but particularly egregious in these last decades. So, editorial board, try to be relevant domestically before delving into areas that are clearly the priority of others in their homelands. To see americans talking human rights when engaging in illegal wars for profit, drugs, budget allotments, etc., despite defacto bankruptcy of the nation, while engaging in torture, other violations of the Geneva Conventions, evinces propagandized mindlessness and is pathetic. So, if you want to do something for humanity, press the criminal american regime. I personally don’t think you have either the saavy smarts nor the courage to do so! That’s why profits for mainstream news orgs are down. I’d also recommend focusing on the lawless u.s. client state israel; maybe a story or two on their 300+ illegal nukes (with stolen american nuke technology I would add). After all, those numerous Iran stories are counter-productive to highlighting reality. Do something useful, meaningful; press the ‘criminal american regime’. Show some courage, integrity! The world’s watching, but not holding their breath.

Super-PAC donors act as GOP kingmakers  A rarefied group of millionaires and billionaires is acting as kingmakers in the Republican presidential contest, often helping to decide, with a simple transfer of money, which candidate might survive another day in race. (Washington Post) [ Let’s not limit this ‘oligarchy in action’ scenario to the republicans. After all, it took some scrutiny from across the sea to ferret out early on a similar scenario regarding ‘the man of the people’, ‘the man of change’ (NOT on both counts) wobama the b for b***s***; viz., David Icke,  Barack Obama: The Naked Emperor Shocking but true revelations from David Icke|  infra ‘...Obama is just more of the same, a big smile with strings attached, and controlled completely by those that chose him, trained him, sold him and provided his record funding, kept his many skeletons under wraps, like the gay sex and crack cocaine ..

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. His financial advisors are straight from the Wall Street 'A' list, including Paul Adolph Volker (Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group), the head of the Federal Reserve from 1979 to 1987 and Illuminati to his fingertips. Obama has made him head of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which is dominated by insiders, including its staff director and chief economist, Austan Goolsbee, a close Obama associate from the University of Chicago. Goolsbee is an initiate of the infamous Illuminati Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, which also includes Boy and Father Bush. It was Goolsbee who told the Canadian government not to worry about Obama's attacks on the economic effects of free trade agreements because his words were just to win votes in the election campaign. Another Wall Street insider, the Zionist Timothy Geithner (Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations), was appointed by Obama to be his Treasury Secretary. Geithner was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, the most powerful in the private Federal Reserve cartel that masquerades as America's central bank, and he is a former employee of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the appalling Kissinger Associates. Obama's Treasury team locks into the inner circle around the Zionist Robert Rubin, the Director and Senior Counselor of Citigroup, co-chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and economic advisor to Obama. Rubin, a member of the Illuminati Bilderberg Group, was the man behind Citigroup's strategy of expanding its risk in debt markets which forced it to be rescued by taxpayers' money. The very people who caused the financial crisis are being appointed by Obama to decide how to respond to it (more taxpayers' money for them and their friends)’

Second, even assuming, arguendo, the absence of the foregoing insurmountable burden / obstacle, there simply is not enough capital in the world to retransition what’s been decades in the making overseas with modern plants and equipment there, now here, much less being profitable to do so. Too little, too late for wobama the b for b***s*** whose actions have consistently belied his words, and who has literally further insurmountably bankrupted the nation with excessively costly and uneconomic window-dressed numbers.

That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

Putin unleashes wave of anti-American sentiment ahead of March elections Can U.S.-Russian relations withstand damage from attacks that have gotten more aggressive? (Washington Post) [ One can hardly expect a great leader of a great nation as Russia (yes, it is President Putin) to roll over and bend over for a pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, meaningfully lawless nation as america surely is. The question always boils down to the ultimate cost of better relations with the u.s.. For indigenous populations and foreign nations that have tested the waters of ‘better relations with america’, the outcomes have been fatal (Iraq, Libya, etc., to name a recent few).

Vladi­mir Putin: My vision for a better Russia (Washington Post) [ I certainly agree that Putin is a man of vision and a great leader of an historically great nation with a long, rich history. Moreover, as he astutely points out, candidates’ worthless promises have the hollow ring we see epitomized by the jive-talker wobama. As Russia made the transition passing through that oligarchical stage as mentioned, america has devolved into an oligarchy for which there are no meaningfully enforced laws / rules and for which this parasitic, symbiotically venal interaction between elements of all branches of the u.s. government and the oligarchs (ie., wall street, etc.) has been destructive domestically (ie., the national drain of corruption on k street, huge frauds, etc.) and globally (the military industrial complex, wars, etc.). The story of america’s rather brief history, beyond the propaganda, is, in a nutshell, one of ‘taking without asking’, without regard to meaningful law, common decency, or morality. The taking includes lives, property, and most recently, liberty (as manifested in various nefarious, self-created problems for which they provide ‘the solution’; ie., encroachments on speech, etc.).

The U.S.-Israel trust gap on Iran (Washington Post) [ ‘…We continue to believe that military action against Iran, by Israel or the United States, is not yet necessary or wise. U.S. and Israeli officials share an assessment that, though Iran is building up nuclear capability, it has not taken decisive steps toward building a bomb. In the meantime, the pressures on its leadership — from sanctions, sabotage, the disarray of allies such as Syria and domestic discontent — are growing. The best strategy for now is to fan those flames, which could cause the regime to retreat or even to fall. On that, we agree with the Obama administration…’. Wow! It surely is the drinking water in dc! ‘fan those flames’ says the editorial board; acts of war of themselves and prelude to the false flag op based upon israeli interest and their usual paranoia by projection of their own misdeeds, ill will, greed and malevolence in the region, including possession of illegal nukes and throwing their weight around in the region as if they do. The editorial board once again disappoints with a ‘not quite’ assessment of the realities regarding israel’s militant, intransigent presence in the region while looking askance with blinders at the real provocateurs in the region; viz., israel, america, and to a lesser extent to all their detriment, the west generally.

Then again, could this be a rhetorical way of criticizing the GOP in favor of the Dems or a legitimate heads up so as to preclude the GOP from shooting themselves in the foot. I know not nor care not; the context is the key. Indeed, federal judiciary? Like most things american, the federal courts are rife with corruption. Since when should politics trump (includes corrupt judge maryanne trump barry, and shiff, matz, etc. ) judicial integrity and experience? Answer: since america beyond the propaganda is what inherently criminal, pervasively corrupt defacto is what america truly is and has been.

It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

Eisenhower Memorial misses the man (Washington Post) [ Great to see Mr. Will back to form. Indeed it is true, needed to be said out loud, and Mr. Will has said it. President General Eisenhower was a great man, a great president, and certainly the most underrated on both scores. A man of deeds, action and not just words (not a b***s*** artist), he invariably had the courage to do what history has invariably proven right; and, had the rare courage to warn in futurity of the dangers inherent to the military industrial complex which have plagued this nation since. While it is true that no memorial can mark the measure of this great man of modern times, it is also true they must try harder. After all, without a doubt, they surely have ‘nothing better to do’.

The reference to alleged culpability regarding the ‘attempted’ revenge (and the notion of revenge is important and acknowledges what all know is israel culpability regard the assassination of the subject Iranians) killings of israeli dips which have been described by some as false flag attempts to rally  support for invading Iran.

Scandal: Greece To Receive "Negative" Cash From "Second Bailout" As It Funds Insolvent European BanksEarlier today, we learned the first stunner of the Greek "bailout package", which courtesy of some convoluted transmission mechanisms would result in some, potentially quite many, Greek workers actually paying to retain their jobs: i.e., negative salaries. Now, having looked at the Eurogroup's statement on the Greek bailout, we find another very creative use of "negative" numbers. And by creative we mean absolutely shocking and scandalous. First, as a reminder, even before the current bailout mechanism was in place, Greece barely saw 20% of any actual funding, with the bulk of the money going to European and Greek banks (of which the former ultimately also ended up funding the ECB and thus European banks). Furthermore, we already know that as part of the latest set of conditions of the second Greek bailout, an 'Escrow Account" would be established: this is simply a means for Greek creditors to have a senior claims over any "bailout" cash that is actually disbursed for things such as, you know, a Greek bailout, where the money actually trickles down where it is most needed - the Greek citizens. Here is where it just got surreal. It turns out that not only will Greece not see a single penny from the Second Greek bailout, whose entire Use of Proceeds will be limited to funding debt interest and maturity payments, but the country will actually have to fund said escrow! You read that right: the Greek bailout #2 is nothing but a Greek-funded bailout of Europe's insolvent banks... and the Greek constitution is about to be changed to reflect this!

 

Housing’s next chapter A regulator’s sober plans for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (Washington Post) [ And what might they be, apart from the sober plans, pray tell. Bigger bonuses? Bigger bailouts?

This has taken the Purchase Application index back to the September lows, which just happens to be the lowest print in 16 years. And while this in itself would be ok if not exactly good, it took place at a time when the 30 year mortgage rate was down to all time record lows! In other words, Bernanke's sole prescription to fix the broken housing market diagnosis - low mortgage rates, has now been proven to be a complete disaster, even as Obama does everything in his power to get debt repudiation for deadbeats (at the expense of everyone else of course) and fails.

Would You Support a War Against Iran If You Knew the True Facts?

Would you support a war against Iran if you knew that:

  • The CIA admits that the U.S. overthrew the moderate, suit-and-tie-wearing, Democratically-elected prime minister of Iran in 1953. He was overthrown because he had nationalized Iran's oil, which had previously been controlled by BP and other Western oil companies. As part of that action, the CIA admits that it hired Iranians to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its prime minister
  • If the U.S. hadn't overthrown the moderate Iranian government, the fundamentalist Mullahs would have never taken over. (Moreover, the U.S. has had a large hand in strengthening radical Islam in the Middle East by supporting radicals to fight the Soviets and others)
  • The U.S. armed and supported Iraq after it invaded Iran and engaged in a long, bloody war which included the use of chemical weapons. Here is former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein in the 1980's, several months after Saddam had used chemical weapons in a massacre:
  • The U.S. helped fund Iran's nuclear program
  • The U.S. has been actively planning regime change in Iran - and throughout the oil-rich Middle East and North Africa - for 20 years
  • The decision to threaten to bomb Iran was made before 9/11
  • Top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that - even if Iran did build a nuclear bomb - it would not be that dangerous, because Israel and America have so many more nukes. And see this
  • The people pushing for war against Iran are the same people who pushed for war against Iraq, and said it would be a "cakewalk". See this and this

(Washington Post) [ Nothing could match the swelling seen under wobama the b for b***s***, particularly while in ‘election year mode’. At this point, who’s counting? Swelling indeed! The nation’s now one big hematoma of insurmountable debt!  The growing deficit? It’s not as bad as it looks. Modern Monetary Theory, which asserts that budget shortfalls are actually good for the economy, is gaining popularity. If accepted by policymakers, this unorthodox take on financial strategy could affect everything from job creation to the price of goods to the tax code. (Washington Post) [ Not as bad as it looks? Yeah! It’s worse! When I saw this headline juxtapsed with Dylan, immediately apropo to the moment was ‘Blowin’ (in the) Wind’ by Bob Dylan. How totally preposterous; not that it is totally unexpected that such spin, defense of the indefensible is inevitible inasmuch as, prudent or not, like it or not, that’s the way it is in a very big way. So big in fact, that it is literally insurmountable leading to Weimar over-printing of fiat paper currency of unprecedented historical proportion which has already required ‘cover stories’/obfuscation for the consequent ratcheting of food / energy prices, etc., with other costs soon to catch up with incomes statements as these higher prices will not be favorably received nor successfully passed on.

But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

Israeli leaders: Iran must be stopped soon  One of the bluntest warnings to date of possible airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites adds to the anxiety in Western capitals that a surprise attack could spark a broader military conflict in the Middle East. 900+ comments: ‘They better be prepared to fight the war on their own’  (Washington Post) [ Much like the illegal, misguided war in Iraq based upon lies amidst the clamoring bloodthirst of zionist neocons and israel alike, the Iraq debacle pleased the aforesaid immensely while costing this nation immeasurably in terms of blood (beyond the dead, over a $trillion yet to come in long-term health costs for injured troops), treasure, and geopolitical standing/credibility. Somewhat fresh off a humiliating shellackin’ at the hands of Hezbollah, the mid-east provocateur israel then constrained to be bully to the captive, down-trodden Palestinians / Gazans has a panoply of reasons for their fears of blowback for their misdeeds, illegal nukes being among them. Yet, their fears / paranoia in no way coincide with the interests of the rest of the world, not that they care one bit, greedy / self-interested as they invariably are. Those murdered scientists? Yeah, karma’s a b**ch when you know you’ve something to look forward to when you know you’ve done something so sinister so as not to want to ‘pay the piper’ therefore! Quite simply, israel’s problems are of their own making, troublesome for the world only to the extent they try to make their problem seem to be and then the world’s problem, and likely will create more problems by their own transgressions than any of those possibly imagined by the paranoid war criminal israelis. US Joint Chiefs Gen. Dempsey draws a line between Israel and US, over Iran LaRouche PAC | Top ranking US General states that US policies on Iran are not in line with US interests  , In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and California, it was about time that somebody should pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States! ,    Panetta: Israel must negotiate with Palestine (Washington Post) [ Seems we’ve heard that song before. How can anyone, including the israelis, take him seriously when the whole world knows that if he really meant it, the same would be done in a ‘new york minute’. After all, client state israel, ultimately the source of substantially all america’s gargantuan geopolitical (and increasingly economic) problems, really has no real choice but to obey. The great but underrated President General Eisenhower who admonished about the military industrial complex would never sacrifice as now american interests for the sake of israel.

The Post’s View Drawdown in Afghanistan Why should troops die this year if U.S. is leaving next year? (Washington Post) [ Indeed! But the larger question is why should they have died in Afghanistan at all? Well, the answer’s simple, even beyond the military industrial complex / war profiteer thing. It’s not a question of the heroes in; but rather, it’s all about the heroin. Yes, heroin! That icky, sticky highly addictive and devestating drug that the most sordid of organized crime ilk here and abroad find so appealing and lucrative. And, it’s ‘high time’ for this very newspaper (among all others and media) to step up and say what everyone with a computer and internet connection with a desire to know already knows; viz., the u.s. government is in the illegal drug business (including heroin, cocaine, etc.) in a very big way.

The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public viewThe CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list …’     



Romney: It 'makes absolutely no sense' (Washington Post) [ I realize this is an election year; and, certainly since the coup d’etat by way of the assassination of JFK, the military industrial complex / military establishment / pentagon’s prior ‘approval’ for such pronouncements, more than just a perfunctory nod, token heads up. What makes no sense is pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt america’s ever increasingly insurmountable debt burden which will take the nation down faster than any purported foreign enemy. Actually, I believe the increased scrutiny has revealed america’s heroin trade there does not come close to justifying the costs (except for ‘those few’).  What made no sense in the broader sense was ‘being there’ in the first place. They’re just no threat to america and yet ‘being there’ a substantial provocation sufficient to make them so. Indeed, that a war mongering, zionist, neocon mental case like john bolton has endorsed Romney is certainly, if taken seriously along with the implications,  a credible foreboding of further bad times for america to come thereby.

Proposed bill would target outsourcing Lawmakers introduce bill requiring companies to say how many jobs they send outside the U.S.  (Washington Post) [ Target outsourcing? Inasmuch as these ‘legislators’ along with their crony pseudo capitalists on wall street, etc., have created the environment for this ubiquitous ‘phenomenon’, I’d ordinarily be predisposed to opposing such targeting. Yet, in light of the pervasive corporate welfare more typical than not, I believe the disclosure to be important, if only to allow taxpayers funding the corporate welfare to have input in and potentially avoid a scenario whereby they are in essence paying for / subsidizing said outsourced jobs. If no corporate welfare, then there should be no government intrusion since from a practical business perspective, much like retooling, such realities cannot be ‘favorably built nor torn down in a day.’ http://www.albertpeia.com/50economicnumbersofuscollapse.htm   http://www.albertpeia.com/47signschinadestroyingamericaoneconomicstage.htm    http://www.albertpeia.com/30statsmidclassdying.htm     30 STATISTICS THAT SHOW THAT THE MIDDLE CLASS IS DYING RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES AS WE ENTER 2012

Contrary to Mr. Milbank’s among others’ ‘egalitarian protestations’, ‘size matters’.

Besides, says newty, ‘kids, they comb their hair in that funny way’.  Riiiiight, snooty newty, there’s those ‘janitorial jobs’ for which there are even waiting lists of applicants for even those jobs according to reports. Say anything, Ché Newty the Revolutionary! As per wobama, words are cheap; but as we all now know, ultimately very costly when they’re more rhetoric / b***s*** than truth / reality!  Gingrich turns to advisers who believe supply-side economics is the answer Advisers believe solution to nation’s deficit is to spur growth through tax cuts and deregulation. (Washington Post) [ Oh riiiiight! Worked like a charm in creating the last few fraud-induced debacles in this ongoing crisis, and the trickle never quite seems to trickle down that far. Yet, it appears the slimy newt’s found a kindred spirit in that malleable italian, peter ferrara ( ‘Peter Ferrara describes himself as Gingrich’s chief economic policy adviser and has won praise from Gingrich on the campaign trail.

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated. The fact is, they never set foot on the moon; and, in light of the pervasive corruption in and defacto bankruptcy of the nation, their perpetual wars toward making a hell on earth militate against anything but trying to do even just a little bit better (for a start), terrestrially.   NASA wants mission to bring Martian rocks to Earth (AP) Why?

Romney, Gingrich clash sharply in debate The former Massachusetts governor attacked the former House speaker as a failed leader, a K Street influence peddler and a candidate who would put the party at risk in the general election.

We’re discontented with candidates that are rented

With grand promises that they’ve invented

 

America’s now a place that’s no oasis

Where life’s weary chase is always in crisis

 

Far from the cries of crime victims in the city,

Where flowers pretty caress the streams

 

Sarcozy to hide in, and war monger side-by-side in

Don’t let lobotomy joe bidin your dreams.

 

Slimy newt flat on his high knee, more war plans from Romney,

Chinese tea for two, and two for Chinese tea,

 

Me for who and you show me, al one!

But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

He had to be joking, right?

Sadly, he was not joking.

But it is not just Barack Obama.  The truth is that both political parties are absolutely littered with con men, charlatans and corrupt politicians…’ Getting Worse: 40 Undeniable Pieces Of Evidence That Show That America Is In Decline The Economic Collapse | Is America in decline? That is a very provocative question. The Economic Collapse December 21, 2011

Is America in decline?  That is a very provocative question.  I have found that most people that hate the United States are very eager to agree that America is in decline, while a lot of those that love the United States are very hesitant to admit that America is in decline.  Well, I am proud to be an American, but I cannot lie and tell you that America is doing just fine.  The pieces of evidence compiled below are undeniable.  Our economy is deathly ill and is rapidly getting worse.  We were handed the keys to the greatest economic machine in the history of the world and we have wrecked it.  But until we are willing to look in the mirror and admit how bad things have gotten, we wont be ready for the solutions that are necessary.  The truth is that there are things that we can do to reverse the decline.  It does not have to be permanent.  We have gotten away from the things that made America great, and we need to admit that we are on the wrong path and start fixing this country.  But if we choose to continue down the road that we are currently on, it will lead us into the darkest chapters in American history.

The following are 40 undeniable pieces of evidence that show that America is in decline.

#1 Back in 1985, 11 million vehicles were sold in America.  In 2009, only 5.4 million vehicles were sold in America.

#2 In 1990, the median age of a vehicle in the United States was just 6.5 years.  Today, the median age of a vehicle in the United States is approximately 10 years.

#3 The average price of a gallon of gasoline in 2011 has been $3.50.  That is a new all-time record.  The previous record was $3.24 in 2008.

#4 The average American household will have spent an astounding $4,155 on gasoline by the time the year is over.

#5 The number of children in the United States without a permanent home has increased by 38 percent since 2007.

#6 A decade ago, the United States was ranked number one in average wealth per adult.  By 2010, the United States had fallen to seventh.

#7 The U.S. tax code is now more than 50,000 pages longer than it used to be.

#8 American 15-year-olds do not even rank in the top half of all advanced nations when it comes to math or science literacy.

#9 The United States once had the highest proportion of young adults with post-secondary degrees in the world.  Today, the U.S. has fallen to 12th.

#10 After adjusting for inflation, U.S. college students are borrowing about twice as much money as they did a decade ago.

#11 The student loan default rate has nearly doubled since 2005.

#12 Our economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for our college graduates.  The percentage of mail carriers with a college degree is now 4 times higher than it was back in 1970.

#13 Our infrastructure was once the envy of the world.  Today, U.S. infrastructure is ranked 23rd.

#14 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.

#15 Since the year 2000, incomes for U.S. households led by someone between the ages of 25 and 34 have fallen by about 12 percent after you adjust for inflation.

#16 According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, America has lost an average of 15 manufacturing facilities a day over the last 10 years.  During 2010 it got even worse.  Last year, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States.

#17 In all, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have shut down since 2001.

#18 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.

#19 Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry was actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.

#20 In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of all U.S. economic output.  In 2008, it represented only 11.5 percent.

#21 The television manufacturing industry began in the United States.  So how many televisions are manufactured in the United States today?  According to Princeton University economist Alan S. Blinder, the grand total is zero.

#22 The U.S. trade deficit with China in 2010 was 27 times larger than it was back in 1990.

#23 The Economic Policy Institute says that since 2001 America has lost approximately 2.8 million jobs due to our trade deficit with China alone.

#24 According to one study, between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation.

#25 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

#26 The size of the economy in India is projected to surpass the size of the U.S. economy by the year 2050.

#27 One prominent economist believes that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040.

#28 In 2001, the United States ranked fourth in the world in per capita broadband Internet use.  Today it ranks 15th.

#29 Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty.  Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

#30 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans dropped into poverty.  That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

#31 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 6.7% of all Americans are living in extreme poverty, and that is the highest level that has ever been recorded before.

#32 The percentage of children living in poverty in the United States increased from 16.9 percent in 2006 to nearly 22 percent in 2010.  In the UK and in France the child poverty rate is well under 10 percent.

#33 As I wrote about the other day, since 2007 the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

#34 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits.  Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#35 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#36 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent.

#37 Today, the too big to fail banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

#38 Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lostover 95 percent of its purchasing power.

#39 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

#40 The U.S. national debt is now nearly 15 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.

Sadly, most Americans are not fired up about turning this country around.  Way too many of them realize that things are getting worse, but they have checked out and are just going through the motions of life.

A perfect example is posted below.  In this video, a FedEx delivery guy just chucks a computer monitor over somebodys fence…Can you believe he did that?

The sad thing is that the guy was actually home at the time and all the FedEx employee needed to do was ring the bell.

This is the kind of attitude that is killing America.

We all need to start caring again.  We all need to start taking pride in what we do.  We all need to start working hard again.  We all need to make sure that we are living with a sense of personal integrity.

When a nation simply does not care anymore, even a con man can become president.

During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency.

The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln just in terms of what weve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, weve got a lot more work to do.

He had to be joking, right?

Sadly, he was not joking.

But it is not just Barack Obama.  The truth is that both political parties are absolutely littered with con men, charlatans and corrupt politicians.

It is going to be up to the American people to get educated about how bad things have really gotten, to start demanding solutions, and to start voting much better people into positions of authority.

If dramatic changes are not made, our economy will continue to get worse and the decline of America will continue to accelerate.

We cannot stay on this road my friends.

It is only going to lead to a total nightmare.

Please share this information as widely as possible, and please try to wake up as many of your fellow Americans as you can while there is still time.’

 

 

43,454,601,693,238 Reasons Why The World Is Broke – Presenting The Interactive Global Debt Clock  Zero Hedge
October 17, 2011
By now everyone has had a chance to play with the US debt clock. But what about its global cousin? Courtesy of The Economist, we now have a convenient way to track the hundreds of millions in dollars added each and every hour by the global governments who see to spur global deleveraging by, you guessed it, adding more debt. Yes, in the process the world’s sovereigns are transferring default risk away from global corporations to sovereigns, but few in the #OWS crowd appear to have yet figured out this rather disturbing and very insidious usurpation of sovereignty by the global corporatocracy, so said risk and leverage transfer will continue until such time as any and all paper backed by these insolvent corporate shells (f/k/a countries) is completely worthless. Regardless, one should not forget that like in the sandalone case, the “debt clock” below only tracks on balance sheet debt. Should one add the NPV of all “welfare state” obligations (pensions, retirement, healthcare), the number will be well over quarter of a quadrillion dollars. Have fun funding that, never mind paying it off…

[ Come on! If you haven’t realized by now that greenspun is incompetent and senile, you haven’t been paying attention! ]. , Guest Post: Where's The Collateral? Collateral matters when it comes to assessing the value of the debt. If a bank lists the mortgages in its "assets" column at full value even though the underlying collateral (the houses) has lost much of their value, then the bank is grossly over-estimating the value and security of the mortgage. The bank's "assets" are based on phantom collateral. Take away $1 in collateral and you impair $4, $10, $20 or even $30 of debt. Recall that the vast majority of real estate equity and financial wealth is owned by the top 20%, with the majority of that concentrated in the top 5%. That means the bottom 80% own little collateral to leverage into debt. How about leveraging income into more debt? Since the top 10% receive almost 50% of the income, and most of the bottom 90%'s income goes to non-discretionary spending and taxes, then only the top 10% have discretionary income that can be leveraged into more debt. , The ISM Print Through The Eyes Of A Trading Algo Since nobody else is trading anything today, we wanted to show readers, courtesy of Nanex, just how it is that the only market participants in the past year, that would be robots of course, traded the ISM number.

Perhaps: it is unclear if the Fed will risk a spike in inflation in Q2 especially since as one of the respondents in today's Chicago PMI warned very prudently that Chinese inflation is about to hit America in the next 60 days. That said, here are some of today's must read observations on where we stand currently, on why 1937-38 may be the next imminent calendar period deja vu, and most importantly, the fact that Rosie now too has realized that the next credit bubble is student debt as we have been warning since last summer. , Treasury Forecasts $447 Billion In Funding Needs Thru End Of September - $300 Billion Shy Of Trendline Earlier today, the Treasury forecast that in the third and fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 (April-September), the US would need a total of $447 billion in new debt (split $182 billion in Q3 and $265 billion in Q4), bringing the total debt balance to just over $16 trillion by the end of September. While this is a commendable forecast, and one which certainly has provided to alleviate rumors that the US debt ceiling of $16.4 trillion would be breached by the mid/end of September, the chart below shows that it may be just a tad optimistic. , Treasuries And Gold Outperform As Financials Drag Stocks Down In April , Egan Jones Cuts Spain For Second Time In Two Weeks, From BBB- To BB+ , Paul vs Paul: Watch Paul Krugman Dispense Keynesian Brilliance, Debate Ron Paul Live , Charting Equity's Hype/Hope On this slow news and market action day it is worth noting that Equities and Treasuries have dramatically dislocated in the last few days with Treasury yields near multi-month lows and stocks at one-month highs. Whether this is the ($700 billion expected) QE3-trade or a reflection of the increasingly bifurcated world in which we live is unclear but for certain this is the largest disconnect (with equities rich) of the year so far. , The Bulging Costs Of America's Obesity Epidemic , Is ISDA About To Be Forced To Cave? Given the TBTF's dominant oligopoly of the credit derivatives market (due mainly to the large exchange's unwillingness to act appropriately when they know the blow-back from their sell-side clients would be considerable), it is perhaps surprising that ISDA (the body that 'regulates' watches over and determines credit events in the CDS market) is coming under increasing pressure to honor the spirit of CDS contract after the FUBAR debacle surrounding the Greek restructuring. As Katy Burne notes in today's WSJ, ISDA is set to decide on a revamp of the CDS rules within weeks as pressure from the buy-side (the other side of the trade obviously) to alter the legal wording governing what is (and is not) a credit event trigger. "Whether it is a series of small fixes or a root-and-branch rewrite is still to be decided" but we note that the market - as we discussed in depth with regard to Portugal over the weekend - is becoming more comfortable once again with the CDS contract as a hedge against 'problems' in the $2.9 trillion sovereign credit derivatives market. , Guest Post: What Is The Consequence Of Printing Money That Nobody Wants? , Quantifying The Big Five Canadian Banks' $114 Billion Bailout , Equity Valuation: It's All Downhill From Here While in 'normal' times the commonly held view is that P/E ratios tend to fall as real interest rates rise, as we recently pointed out here, the relationship is highly non-linear and nowhere is this regime-dependence more evident than in the following chart from Morgan Stanley. Empirically, the current interest-rate regime (the 2-3% 10Y) is as good as it gets and whether rates rise or fall from here, equity valuations are likely to drop. The market rarely trades at the average multiple, though the current market trades at near average levels currently (not cheap as many would like us to believe). Of course, as Morgan Stanley notes, there are a number of other drivers but on a long-term basis and top-down, equity valuations have a hard hill to climb to prove its different this time. , Dallas Fed Plunges Negative. Biggest Miss In 10 Months While the Dallas Fed Manufacturing Index tends to be a little less of a headline-maker  than many of its macro-data peers, today's dismal report is worth paying attention to. The index turned negative for the first time this year, dropped to its lowest level in 7 months and missed expectations by the largest amount in 10 months. The drop from +10.8 to -3.4 is also the largest sequential drop in 11 months. Only the inventories sub-index rose (hardly a bright spot) as Production, Number of Employees, New Orders, and Capacity Utilization all plunged and the average workweek fell for the first time in months. The US decoupling myth continues to come apart at the seams and the likelihood of more easing (extreme or not) seems to be rising by the day - because that has worked so well in the past. , Larry Summers Resumes Exercises In Pontificating Sophistry , Chicago PMI Plunges To Lowest Since November 2009, Biggest Miss To Expectations Since September 2009 ... the only question is whether the number,which printed at 56.2, down from 62.2, and missing expectations of 60.0, is horrible enough to send stocks soaring. Based on some of the core numbers it may be: the headline nuimber was the worst since November 2009, the miss was the biggest since September 2009, Production of 57.1 was the lowest since September 2009, New Orders slide to 57.4 from 63.3, Supplier deliveries lowest since September 2011, and so on. The only good print was employment which mysteriously rose from 56.3 to 58.7, just in time for the NFP print to come really, really ugly. On, and Joe LaVorgna was at 61.0: way to earn that bonus Joe. ISM downward revisions to come. But not from Joe- look for upward revisions there.

This is no surprise, as he has often demonstrated he does not even understand the arguments of the Austrians and moreover has frequently shown that his style of debate consists largely of attempts to knock down straw men.  After appraising us of his economic ignorance (see the idea that time preferences can actually 'go negative' implied by his argument on the natural interest rate above), he finally closes a truly Orwellian screed by claiming that everybody who is critical of the Fed and the financial elite is guilty of being 'Orwellian'. As we often say, you really couldn't make this up. , Guest Post: Does Believing In The "Recovery" Make It Real? Does believing in the "recovery" make it real? The propaganda policies of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government are based on the hope that you'll answer "yes." The entire "recovery" is founded on the idea that if the Fed and Federal agencies can persuade the citizenry that down is up then people will hurry into their friendly "too big to fail" bank and borrow scads of money to bid up housing, buy new vehicles, and generally spend money they don't have in the delusional belief that inflation is low, wages are rising and the economy is growing.... Data is now massaged for political expediency, failure is spun into success, and consequences are shoved remorselessly onto the future generations. The entire policy of the Federal Reserve and the Federal government boils down to pushing propaganda in the hopes we'll all swallow the con and believe that down is now up and our "leadership" is a swell bunch of guys and gals instead of sociopaths who will say anything to evade the consequences of their actions and policy choices. , Europe's "Dead Bank Walking" List And An ETA Until The Next Contagion Peak

 

4-27-12 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BULLS CHERRY PICK NEWS 4-27-12 [ As astutely pointed out by Dave, ‘Michigan Consumer Sentiment Report (76.4 vs 75.8 expected and prior 75.7) which is weighted more heavily by stock market prices than Consumer Confidence’, this thusly is the ultimate ‘bootstrap’ for these bubble stock prices. ] ‘U.S. GDP Data was worse than expected (2.2% vs 2.6% expected & prior 3%). There’s nothing good about this data unless you believe spring weather caught up with a warm winter. Is that the spin? Perhaps. Others might just return to the previous mantra from the past few years: “bad news is good, good news is better” cynically meaning the Fed will launch another round of QE. It’s the belief by bulls that no matter the data the Fed has your back until its QE effect exhausts itself. Nevertheless the weaker GDP data confirms what we’re seeing globally—economic contraction…’ , 25 Horrible Statistics About The U.S. Economy That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To Know  http://albertpeia.com/25horriblestatsaboutuseconomyobamahides.htm ’The human capacity for self-delusion truly is remarkable.  Most people out there end up believing exactly what they want to believe even when the truth is staring them right in the face.  Take the U.S. economy for example.  Barack Obama wants to believe that his policies have worked and that the U.S. economy is improving.  So that is what he is telling the American people.  The mainstream media wants to believe that Barack Obama is a good president and that his policies make sense and so they are reporting that we are experiencing an economic recovery.  A very large segment of the U.S. population still fully supports Barack Obama and they want to believe that the economy is getting better so they are buying the propaganda that the mainstream media is feeding them.  But is the U.S. economy really improving?  The truth is that it is not.  The rate of employment among working age Americans is exactly where it was two years ago and household incomes have actually gone down while Obama has been president.  Home ownership levels and home prices continue to decline.  Meanwhile, food and gasoline continue to become even more expensive.  The percentage of Americans that are dependent on the government is at an all-time record high and the U.S. national debt has risen by more than 5 trillion dollars under Obama.  We simply have not seen the type of economic recovery that we have seen after every other economic recession since World War II.The horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that you are about to read are not talked about much by the mainstream media.  They would rather be "positive" and "upbeat" about the direction that things are headed.But lying to the American people is not going to help them.  If you are speeding in a car toward a 500 foot cliff, you don't need someone to cheer you on.  Instead, you need someone to slam on the brakes.The cold, hard reality of the matter is that the U.S. economy is in far worse shape than it was four or five years ago.We have never come close to recovering from the last recession and another one will be here soon.The following are 25 horrible statistics about the U.S. economy that Barack Obama does not want you to know....#1 The percentage of Americans that own homes is dropping rapidly.  According to Gallup, the current level of homeownership in the United States is the lowest that Gallup has ever measured.#2 Home prices in the U.S. continue to fall like a rock as well.  They have declined for six months in a row and are now down a total of 35 percent from the peak of the housing bubble.  The last time that home prices in the United States were this low was back in 2002.#3 Last year, an astounding 53 percent of all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed.#4 Back in 2007, about 10 percent of all unemployed Americans had been out of work for 52 weeks or longer.  Today, that number is above 30 percent.#5 When Barack Obama first became president, the number of "long-term unemployed workers" in the United States was 2.6 million.  Today, it is 5.3 million.#6 The average duration of unemployment in the United States is about three times as long as it was back in the year 2000.#7 Despite what the mainstream media would have us to believe, the truth is that the percentage of working age Americans that are employed is not increasing.  Back in March 2010, 58.5 percent of all working age Americans were employed.  In March 2011, 58.5 percent of all working age Americans were employed. In March 2012, 58.5 percent of all working age Americans were employed.  So how can Barack Obama and the mainstream media claim that the employment situation in the United States is getting better?  The employment rate is still essentially exactly where it was when the last recession supposedly ended.#8 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs.  Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs.#9 In 1962, 28 percent of all jobs in America were manufacturing jobs.  In 2011, only 9 percent of all jobs in America were manufacturing jobs.#10 In some areas of Detroit, Michigan you can buy a three bedroom home for just $500.#11 According to one recent survey, approximately one-third of all Americans are not paying their bills on time at this point.#12 Since Barack Obama entered the White House, the price of gasoline has risen by more than 100 percent.#13 The student loan debt bubble continues to expand at a very frightening pace.  Recently it was announced that total student loan debt in the United States has passed the one trillion dollar mark…#s14-25…’ , The Truth About Egan-Jones ... but not from us: after all we are known for being biased, which in the mainstream media parlance means calling it like it is. No - instead we leave it to none other than Bloomberg's Jonathan Weil who does as good a job of being "biased" as we ever could: "Egan-Jones, which has been in business since 1992, could have continued operating as an independent publisher of ratings and analysis, not subject to government oversight or control. Instead it chose to play within the Big Three’s system, exposing itself to regulation and the whims of the SEC in exchange for the government’s imprimatur. Now it’s paying the price." And not only that: as the most recent example of Spain just shows, where Egan Jones downgraded Spain 9 days ago and was ignored, but well ahead of everyone else, only to be piggybacked by S&P, and the whole world flipping out, it has become clear: calling out reality, and the fools that populate it, is becoming not only a dangerous game, but increasingly more illegal. Then again - this is not the first time we have seen just this happen in broad daylight, with nobody daring to say anything about it. In fact, this phenomenon tends to be a rather traditional side-effect of every declining superpower. Such as the case is right now...’ , The Sell-Side Take On The Tepid GDP Growth , Art Cashin On The Fed, The Election, And The Collapse Of The Euro , Michael Krieger On The Rebirth Of Barter China is preparing to avoid U.S. sanctions on Iran by paying for oil with gold.  Not only that but, as Forbes contributor Gordon Change also mentions, China has already been bartering with Iran to get a hold of petroleum using among other goods, Chinese washing machines, refrigerators, toys, clothes, cosmetics, and toiletries. The barter trade works, but Iran needs cash too - hence Gold. Thus, the leadership in America in its infinite stupidity has actually accelerated the demise of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. In a similar move on a more micro level, the government of Spain in a similar desperation has banned the use of cash transactions above 2,500 euros.  How do you think citizens are going to respond to this?  People are already in the streets. Everything is going to go black market and to a barter system.  It will happen country by country as governments get increasingly desperate and the authoritarian clamp down continues.  It will happen on an increasing level until all of these house of cards bureaucratic states fail and something new is reborn - just as we noted in a small town in Greece recently. , Eric Sprott: "When Fundamentals No Longer Apply, Review the Fundamentals" , Robert Wenzel's 'David' Speech Crushes Federal Reserve's 'Goliath' Dream In perhaps the most courageous (and now must-read) speech ever given inside the New York Fed's shallowed hallowed walls, Economic Policy Journal's Robert Wenzel delivered the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to the monetary priesthood. Gracious from the start, Wenzel takes the Keynesian clap-trappers to task on almost every nonsensical and oblivious decision they have made in recent years. "My views, I suspect, differ from beginning to end... I stand here confused as to how you see the world so differently than I do. I simply do not understand most of the thinking that goes on here at the Fed and I do not understand how this thinking can go on when in my view it smacks up against reality." And further..."I scratch my head that somehow your conclusions about unemployment are so different than mine and that you call for the printing of money to boost 'demand'. A call, I add, that since the founding of the Federal Reserve has resulted in an increase of the money supply by 12,230%." But his closing was tremendous: "Let’s have one good meal here. Let’s make it a feast. Then I ask you, I plead with you, I beg you all, walk out of here with me, never to come back. It’s the moral and ethical thing to do. Nothing good goes on in this place. Let’s lock the doors and leave the building to the spiders, moths and four-legged rats.", IceCap Asset Management: 1982 And Secular Bull Market Bias While many will remember 1982 for its disco and the movie E.T., it is perhaps best known by an investing public as the end of a 16 year secular bear market. The 10% decline from 1966 was better, however, than the 38% loss from 1937 to 1941 and the 80% loss from 1929-1932 but together this triumvirate make up the secular bear markets. Luckily, as IceCap's Keith Dicker notes, for most of the investment industry they can gloss over these extended loss periods and instead focus on the long-run secular bull markets (cue Jeremy Siegel). However, he points out that unknown to many and ignored by the rest, "we are in the middle of another long and dragged out Secular Bear Market which has seen investors lose 7% since the year 2000 - that's 12 years of hopes for nothing." Understanding secular markets and how they transition from BULL to BEAR is perhaps the most rewarding investment perspective you won’t hear from anyone else. While financial markets continue to yo-yo with our retirements, the truth is, the next Secular BULL Market is not quite ready to perk its head up just yet as Dicker addresses P/E ratios during inflationary and deflationary periods summing up his view of the world rather succinctly: "As central banks continue to bail out banks and countries, they implicitly create an investment culture whereby failure is rewarded and success is taxed to reward those who failed." , Breaking Point: The End Of The Cheap Energy Economy , Richard Koo On The Three Problems With Bullish Speculation On Europe , Jim Quinn Explains Why We've Never Left The Recession It is three and a half years since the Great Recession hit in 2008 with the collapse of our financial system caused by the Wall Street banks and their captured politician cronies in Washington D.C. Their mouthpieces in the mainstream media have been telling the American sheeple that we have been out of recession and in recovery since the 4th quarter of 2009. It truly has been a recovery for the Wall Street bankers and the mega-corporations that have laid off millions and opened new factories in the Far East while generating record profits and rewarding their executives with millions in bonuses. The stock market has doubled from its 2009 lows. All is well on Wall Street – not so much on Main Street. The compliant non-questioning MSM reported that GDP in the 1st quarter rose 2.2%, less than expected. This pitiful government manipulated result confirms that we are back in recession. The first quarter had the huge benefit of fantastic weather, an extra day, and a supposed surge in jobs. And this is all we got?

Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech .. ‘ [ As much as I like Apple, my first computer, and am glad they survived in a big way, I’m constrained to agree. Moreover, and I can’t prove this, I believe there to be some ‘soft’ stimulation of the heavily weighted, more bang for the buck, Apple stock by way of subsidized purchases. Remember those $275,000 per car government purchases, and the $278,000 cost per stimulus job? What’s $500 per ipad or iphone, etc., to a nation hopelessly, insurmountably indebted to the tune of $211 trillion, especially in their election year desperation. This should in no way be construed as a slight to Cook; but rather, just the reality there’s a limit to what one’s willing to pay for fairly common utility. That said, I’d still buy an IPad since, as with the ipod and the simple technology involved, amazingly, ultimate competitors as, ie., microsoft with zune, etc., didn’t measure up at all! I think the IPhone’s totally underwhelming! Contrary to the tenor of the article, I believe charisma has nothing whatsoever to do with the inevitable decline ahead; and, not just Apple. Moreover, I believe Apple’s success is a testament to the pathetic state of american/global technology generally, and the somewhat ‘curious’ state of the consuming public. The only really ‘big thing’ has been the internet.

Sprawl was driven by the flow of money, the "American dream" of owning a home in the suburbs, and facilitated by the widespread ownership of cars. The suburbs were designed with cars in mind. The growth of suburbs fulfilled two roles. Lots of houses were available for new buyers, which kept prices down; and city governments discovered that developer's fees and the new land taxes initially exceeded the maintenance cost of the new roads and infrastructure built to support them,. Unfortunately, as time passed and the infrastructure aged, soon maintenance costs exceeded tax revenues, necessitating another round of growth. Suburbs were able to maintain the required level of growth for a few decades, but we are reaching the point everywhere (it seems) where there cannot be enough new growth to maintain our crumbling infrastructure. The mindset of the "ownership society" really drove demand for housing, and the best places to expand were in the southwest, so that cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas really grew. Low interest rates plus easy money led to a bubble in house prices and an explosion of sprawl. The Austrian school of economics teaches us that easy money leads to malinvestment. Suburban growth certainly seems to qualify. Our urban sprawl malinvestment has left us with the interwoven problems of unlivable cities, financial crisis, and increased death and destruction from natural disasters. , Houston, We Have A Coupling: US Macro Data Worst In Six Months Confirming the lack of decoupling in major developed economies (which we noted yesterday), US macro data (as tracked by Citigroup's ECO Surprise Index) has turned negative for the first time in six months.

A gauge of the buying climate decreased to a two-month low, and a measure of household financial wherewithal fell by the most since September. PG View: Weaker than expected KC Fed index today too, seems to fly a bit in the face of Bernanke’s rosier outlook from yesterday.

 

4-25-12 5 New Lies That The Federal Reserve Is Telling The American People  http://albertpeia.com/5newliesbythefed.htm http://albertpeia.com/fraudulentfedhasfailed.htm  { Yes, it’s really rather incredible, even astounding, that people even listen to, much less believe the proven lies, wrong information, disinformation that bespeaks fraud/deception/cover-up and at best, total incompetence. Don’t they realize they’re being scammed in a very big way; particularly, with an election year predisposed pro-wobama obfuscation? Bernanke is a total fraud. He is totally incompetent! As I wrote, infra, as comment to Dave Fry’s Summary:  the same helicopter ben who forecast no recession and whose QEs have helped no one but the frauds on wall street, with fake numbers on what is in reality much higher inflation, unemployment, etc., for obfuscation – you cannot solve a problem without admitting there is one, let alone failing to identify the problem; and with america’s insurmountable debt and debased Weimar fiat paper currency over-printing, that huge extant problem is substantially exacerbated. { Britain slides back into recession AFP Britain was back in recession Wednesday after its economy shrank in the first quarter while Prime Minister David Cameron said the country was being buffetted by the European downturn [ True, but only because unlike the u.s., their reporting is a bit more accurate/truthful, less manipulated, less fraudulent than america which has already entered (the continuing) recession (actually dollar debased and thereby, can you believe it, inflationary depression) UK Economy Double Dips For First Time Since 1970s  } ]  {  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 .. “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..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..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’ }  [ Now we know the reason for bernanke’s pro-wobama politicking: Reuters:  Mitt Romney says he would boot Ben Bernanke - The Trail The likely Republican nominee says, “I’d be looking for somebody new” to run the Federal Reserve if he’s elected president. Romney criticized Fed Chairman Bernanke for printing too much money in a bid to stimulate the economy. (April 25, 2012) Drudgereport: Romney would boot Ben... And, not only because bernanke as has obama failed miserably; good, sound management all but requires that he do so (as per the late Peter Drucker among the multitude of Management experts). Wobama, the lazy jive-talking b***s*** artist, despite campaign rhetoric to the contrary, literally continued all things dumbya bush. ]‘The Federal Reserve says that everything is going to be okay.  The Fed says that unemployment is going to go down, inflation is going to remain low and economic growth is going to steadily increase.  Do you believe them this time?  As you will see later in this article, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has been dead wrong about the economy over and over again.  But the mainstream media and many Americans still seem to have a lot of faith in the Federal Reserve.  It doesn't seem to matter that Bernanke and other Fed officials have been telling the American people lies for years.  As I always say, most people believe what they want to believe, and many people seem to want to have blind faith in the Federal Reserve even when logic and reason would dictate otherwise.  The truth is that things are not going to be getting much better than they are right now.  When the next wave of the financial crisis hits, the U.S. economy is going to fall back into recession, financial markets are going to crash and unemployment is going to absolutely skyrocket.  But you will never hear any of that from the Federal Reserve.

In it he forecast a lower unemployment rate by the (cough) election…’ { the same helicopter ben who forecast no recession and whose QEs have helped no one but the frauds on wall street, with fake numbers on what is in reality much higher inflation, unemployment, etc., for obfuscation – you cannot solve a problem without admitting there is one, much less failing to identify the problem, and with america’s insurmountable debt and debased Weimar fiat paper currency over-printing, that huge extant problem is  substantially exacerbated}. ‘Inflation doesn’t exist and weather is what drove economy higher early in the quarter and lower recently. You need not know anything else. Durable Goods Orders (-4.2% vs -1.5% expected & prior 1.9%) sank to the lowest level since (gulp) 2009. But Ben would probably attribute this to the weather I guess since markets didn’t care. The transportation component plunged a monthly 12.5 percent in March after rising 1.8 percent the month before. Subcomponent weakness was led by a 47.6 percent plunge in new orders for nondefense aircraft (Boeing orders). Defense aircraft increased 15.5 percent while motor vehicles edged up 0.1 percent.The focus was on Apple and Ben which both produced a tsunami for tech to surf on and the rest of the market just sort of tagged along. And the Facebook IPO is just around the corner. And interesting article from Time magazine reflects how frustrating hot IPOs can be with a quote from yours truly.News from the eurozone was positive for some corporate earnings and stocks rallied there with Apple as well. Eurozone political news was quickly pushed to the background.“As you were”, was a common command for soldiers and this was sort of the feeling one gets from recent market action. Apple is more than just okay and Ben is both optimistic and ready to print if necessary. So let’s just go back a few weeks than shall we? Gold (GLD) was lower early but just as Ben uttered the QE threat/promise the metal rallied immediately. Bonds (IEF) and the dollar (UUP) were weaker in price and commodity (DBC) markets were also stronger with Ben’s QE comments.Earnings are generally beating much lowered estimates which is par for the course.

In other words, SSDD." SSDD it is: last week's 386K number was revised to 389K, meaning the massive miss relative to expectations of 370K last week just got even worse. This is the 10th week in a row of misses to the weaker side and the 16th of the last 18. And while this week's miss was whopping as usual, with expectations of 375K being soundly missed after the print came at 388K on its way back to 400K, the media can sleep soundly because the absolute lack of BLS propaganda means that the sequential progression is one of, you got it, improvement. In other words here is what the headlines in the Mainstream Media will be: "Initial claims improve over prior week." In fact here it is from Bloomberg: "U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Fell 1,000 to 388,000 Last Week." ..No propaganda. No data fudging. No manipulation at all.

The United States Has Plenty Of Oil: 10 Facts About America's Energy Resources That Will Blow Your Mind http://endoftheamericandream.com http://albertpeia.com/10factsaboutamericanenergyresources.htm [ Well, first off, since we’re only talking decades at best, I agree the alarmist propaganda is all for naught. Yet, make no mistake, those who equate shale oil, deep water oil, etc., with that close to the surface, easily recovered, ie., sweet crude, are as misguided. It’s kind of like that ‘asteroid mining’ that’s ‘become the rage’. Firstly, in hollywood (oh yeah, we’ve seen them digitally land on asteroids, planets as in Avatar, etc., with ease and without a hitch), they don’t keep books the way other businesses do, at least on the creative end, viz., ie., Cameron. And, what do you expect a former pilot to say, etc.? As an example of ‘fuel price makes a difference’, anyone who thinks american airlines among others went bankrupt because they’re so horribly managed or because they felt like strategically avoiding their debt would be mistaken. For airlines it’s all about fuel costs and load factors, capital intensive that they are, and pennies literally do make a difference. Costs of extraction make a difference. Oh sure, there’s loads of oil. It’s all about the costs of getting it. Peak oil really has been reached in terms of ‘easy pickins’. Some even argue/document persuasively that current reserves of the ‘easy pickins’ are over-stated.  ]

4-23-12 Graham Summers’ Weekly Market Forecast (Here Comes Spain Edition) 4-23-12 By gpc1981  [  http://albertpeia.com/spainpain.htm  ] ‘As expected Francois Hollande won the first round of the French elections. He and Nicolas Sarkozy will run against each other in the second round, which will occur on May 6th.The Euro isn’t taking this news well. As I write this Sunday night the Euro currency futures have gapped down. I’ve added this move to the chart below.130 remains the line in the sand for the Euro. If we take it out with conviction then we’re in BIG trouble.I believe we’re at most a month or so away from this. Spain has now stepped center stage in the Euro Crisis. And the Spanish Ibex has just taken out its 15-year trendline:This spells MAJOR trouble for Spain and the rest of the EU. Unlike Greece, (which has its own elections, which could go very wrong for the EU, on May 6th by the way), Spain is too big to bail out.  Indeed, the Spanish banking system is a toxic sewer of bad mortgage debt: over half of all mortgages were generated and owned by the unregulated cajas. If you’re unfamiliar with the caja banking system, let me give you a little background…Until recently, the caja banking system was virtually unregulated. Yes, you read that correctly, until about 2010-2011 there were next no regulations for these banks (which account for 50% of all Spanish deposits). They didn’t have to reveal their loan to value ratios, the quality of collateral they took for making loans… or anything for that matter.As one would expect, the cajas have been collapsing like dominos in the last few years. Spain’s been trying to prop them up by merging them with larger (likely equally insolvent) banks with no success (the merged banks have all collapsed to new lows in the last month).On top of this, Spanish Banks are drawing a record €316.3 billion from the ECB (up from €169.2 billion in February).Things have gotten so bad that Spanish citizens are pulling their money out of Spain en masse: €65 billion left the Spanish banking system in March 2011 alone. And all of this is happening at a time in which relations are breaking down between Germany and the ECB as well as between Germany and France.In other words, the EU collapse is about to enter its next round. Remember, all collapses follow the same pattern: 1) the initial drop 2) the re-test/ attempt to reclaim upwards momentum 3) the roll-over/ REAL fireworks…’ , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com MONDAY MARKET BLUES 4-23-12 ‘Eurozone issues stole the show on Monday… again.

Durden 4-23-12 The thing about GDP, is that it doesn’t really measure wealth creation, or the size of the economy. It measures a derivative of that: money circulation. If Congress passed a law saying that everyone in America had to smoke meth (hey, if you can mandate the purchase of health insurance, why not mandate drug consumption in the name of increasing GDP?) and gamble all their disposable income on horse racing, GDP would almost certainly improve.

Nigel Farage Batters Barroso But Noyer Self-Deludes On European Crisis Ending

Juxtaposing the market's recent movements, Nigel Farage's 'when-not-if' perspective on the end of the Euro, Weidmann's concerns, and now ECB's Noyer stunning self-delusion that, as Bloomberg notes:

*NOYER SAYS STEPS TO EXIT EURO CRISIS BEGINNING TO BEAR FRUIT
*NOYER: BANK FUNDING, MONEY MARKET CONDITIONS ARE MUCH BETTER
*NOYER: RECENT EXCEPTIONAL STEPS LET BANKS, GOV'TS STRENGTHEN
*WEIDMANN: RENEGOTIATION OF AUSTERITY A 'BLOW TO CREDIBILITY'

is more than some can bear. As Mr.Farage notes, in the face of the rapidly deteriorating situation in Europe, Barroso and his colleague's ever-smiling perspective on the Euro, "look ridiculous". With Spanish yields over 6%, banks trading at near record high levels of funding costs, Italian risk elevating, political event risk becoming critical, and now macro data turning even worse perhaps Noyer's comments that "delaying fiscal consolidation may lead to greater risks" are spot on - and yet nation after nation rises-up votes to 'deny' austerity.

Guest Post: Project “End Up Like Japan” Continues To Advance Well In The West

One scene from the movie Titanic depicts a lounge in one of the upper class quarters of the ship as it slowly sinks beneath the waves. Notwithstanding the vessel listing alarmingly, a motley band of toff revelers are determined to go out in the finest style. Some continue to play at cards with a fatalistic resolve while others determinedly quaff spirits direct from the bottle. Having considered for some time the most appropriate metaphor for the current market environment, we think this may be it: one may be doomed, but one can still party on. Having already hit the iceberg, one major problem we see is the common perspective for both investors and the asset management industry to view debt and equity as the entire universe of investor choices available. Having long exhausted the armory of conventional policies to keep the unsustainably indebted show on the road, increasingly desperate politicians are doing increasingly desperate things, be that gifting money to the IMF in a brazen display of fiscal denial that we can ill afford (US, UK) or simply stealing from other sovereigns (Argentina). The ironic triumph of the Keynesians means that, in trying to save the economy, our central bank may end up destroying it completely by means of the printing press; as a consequence, we now get to experience some of the full-on horror of the Japanese malaise.

Guest Post: The Future Is Unknown, But We Know The Unsustainable Will Implode ‘… we do know two very important things: 1) that which is unsustainable will implode, and 2) the present Status Quo is unsustainable. That ultimately leaves us with a single question: what are we going to do about it? In my view, it's not important that we agree on solutions--agreement would in fact be a catastrophe, for dissent and decentralization are the essential characteristics of any sustainable "solution." What is important is that we realize the future boils down to a simple choice: do we passively comply with the Status Quo feudalism or do we resist?....  That is the false choice provided by the Status Quo: do you want to buy/sell/drink sugar water or saccharine? There is another choice: do we want to passively self-destruct in servitude to the Status Quo or do we want to join those with a positive vision for the future? Every act is a choice, and the future is in our hands.’

 

4-20-12 Spain is Greece… Only Bigger and WorseApril 20, 2012 By gpc1981   http://gainspainscapital.com Spain on the Precipice http://albertpeia.com/spainontheprecipice.htm  ‘On the Surface, Spain’s debt woes have many things in common with those of Greece:1)Bad age demographics 2)A toxic bank system  However, you’ll note that as we tackle each of these, Spain is in fact in far worse fiscal shape than Greece.Currently there is one person of non-working age (65 or older) for every four people of working age (15-64) in Spain.  This is expected to worsen to one person of non-working age for every three people of working age by 2025 and an astounding more than one person of non-working age for every two people of working age by 2040.These demographics alone set Spain up for a sovereign debt Crisis. According toJagadeesh Gohkale of the Cato Institute Spain would need to have 250% of its GDP sitting in a bank account collecting interest forever in order to meet its unfunded liabilities without raising taxes or cutting government outlays.That, in of itself, is bad news for Spain. But Spain’s banking system are what really set it apart. Let’s consider the following facts about Spain’s banking system: *Total Spanish banking loans are equal to 170% of Spanish GDP. *Troubled loans at Spanish Banks just hit an 18-year high of over 8%. *Spanish Banks are drawing a record €316.3 billion from the ECB (up from €169.2 billion in February). However, even these don’t paint the real picture. Thanks to a property bubble that dwarfed the US in relative terms, Spain’s economy and corporate arena are now literally saturated with debt. Consider the following: *Spanish non-financial corporations’ gross debts outstanding are equal to 196% of Spain’s GDP (this is worse than that of Greece, Portugal, even Japan) *Spanish non-financial corporations sport debt to equity ratios of 152% (only Greece and Japan are worse here) *Spanish household debt is equal to 90% of the country’s GDP: much higher than the EU average of 70% and roughly inline with that of the US which has been running a credit bubble for 30+ years. In simple terms, Spain is like Greece, only bigger and worse…’ , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com OPTIONS EXPIRATION DISTORTIONS 4-20-13 ‘Beating much lower expectations can lead to a short squeeze and this was evident the past few days with some financials and Friday with Microsoft (MSFT) which beat earnings estimates by 3 cents. Remember, MSFT is one of the largest hedge fund holdings so pumping it higher seems easily job one. MSFT was up nearly 5% after the report which may strike some as an outsized gain. But the spin was the company reported good gains from the corporate sector meaning CFOs are loosening their purse strings. How long can you run XP anyway? The boys in the options pits must be chasing down options in MSFT and those silly bets made on Apple (AAPL) calls.The other big news on the day was that the IMF (mostly controlled by U.S. taxpayers) will pony-up another $400 billion in freshly minted dollars to rescue the euro zone once again. Even the Bank of Japan admitted this gesture (thank you America!) will only buy some time if austerity and reforms aren’t implemented. And, right on cue, we have French elections on deck this weekend with polls indicating Sarkozy is toast. This makes his deals with Merkel & Co toast as well. So with the socialists back in control of Europe’s second largest economy don’t expect much in the way of austerity and reform. That’s not on any socialist’s agenda. Also the IMF has secured some “pledges” from BRIC countries for some contributions. Brazil wants a larger role without necessarily a larger commitment. Perhaps Argentina’s Fernandez de Kirchner will pledge the minority balance of Spain’s YPF she hasn’t seized yet. Anyway, the bottom line for bulls is that the eurozone is fixed again if only for the trading day and week.The dollar (UUP) fell sharply (more IMF dollars make them cheaper?) gold (GLD) did little but other commodities (DBC, USO & JJC) with the weakening dollar were higher. All this brings us to options expiration which is day most investors should just take off. Most of what takes place reminds me of packs of wolves chasing down strike prices to exercise them to the disadvantage of the poor victims.

Democracy Now has the former National Security Agency technical director whistleblower's first TV interview in which he discusses the NSA's massive power to spy on Americans and why the FBI raided his home. Since retiring from the NSA in 2001, he has warned that the NSA’s data-mining program has become so vast that it could "create an Orwellian state." Today marks the first time Binney has spoken on national TV about NSA surveillance. Starting with his pre-9-11 identification of the world-wide-web as a voluminous problem since the NSA was 'falling behind the rate-of-change', his success in creating a system (codenamed Thin-Thread) for 'grabbing' all the data and the critical 'lawful' anonymization of that data (according to mandate at the time) which as soon as 9-11 occurred went out of the window as all domestic and foreign communications was now stored (starting with AT&T's forking over their data). This direct violation of the constitutional rights of everybody in the country was why Binney decided he could not stay (leaving one month after 9-11) along with the violation of almost every privacy and intelligence act as near-bottomless databases store all forms of communication collected by the agency, including private emails, cell phone calls, Google searches and other personal data…’ , NASDAPPL Crumbles Amid Sideways Volatile Week , Guest Post: Presenting The US Government’s Infographic Of Its Own Insolvency  http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2012/04/20120420_info1.png  , Does The I In IMF Stand For Idiot? , Guest Post: The Market's Getting A Wedgie , FoodStamp Nation First and foremost, there are 46.5 million Americans in the program as of the most recent information available (January 2012), comprising 22.2 million households.  That’s 15% of the entire population, and just over 20% of all households.  Moreover, despite the end of the official “Great Recession” in June 2009, over 10 million more Americans have been accepted into the program since that month, and the year-over-year growth rate for the program is still +5%. , Guest Post: Why The Left Misunderstands Income Inequality , Europe Is Now Red For The Year A sea of red is flowing from European equity markets and it seems they are unable to stem the flow as IBEX (the Italian Spanish equity index) nears March 2009 lows (down 18% YTD)…’

In the eurozone, Spain sold some 10 year debt (mostly to Spanish banks and perhaps the ECB) at levels below 6% but only to see prices fall and yields rise in the secondary market. Equity indices in the eurozone were markedly weaker. Polling in France shows Sarkozy no doubt losing to the socialists which would mean austerity agreements would go out the window. Earnings reports focused primarily on Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America (BAC). Frankly, one would need a forensic financial archeologist to wade through the release to find the “real deal” from each company. The standout category had to do with both company’s DVA (Debt Value Adjustments). Both companies bonds are being revalued lower. As a book entry trick the company’s may then deduct the loss in value of their own debt against earnings. MS after all is facing a three notch downgrade from Moody’s as I understand it. After all these deductions were counted both companies could then report slightly positive earnings in lieu of losses: BAC $25 (stock slightly lower by 1.60%) and MS $.71 (stock higher by 2.25%).Economic data released Thursday began with Jobless Claims (388K vs expected 365K and prior revised higher to 386K from 380K) which allowed for another beat, however the overall trend is heading south. Existing Home Sales (4.4M vs 4.62M expected and prior 4.59M) was a mild disappointment but completed the week unimpressively for all housing data. The important Philly Fed Survey (8.5 vs 12 expected and prior 12.5) was a disappointment as well reflecting an ongoing economic slowdown.

Albert Edwards takes the 'massive over-confidence in the ability of the Chinese authorities to achieve a soft landing' to task and furthermore indicates that between a rapidly diminishing current account surplus, a real effective exchange rate that is arguably (thank you IMF) not undervalued anymore, and the velocity with which nominal GDP has slowed recently (akin to 2007), the very fact that they widened the trading band suggests it is now a lot easier for them to achieve significant devaluation of their currency (to escape the hard landing) both technically and politically.

In other news, this will surely teach any other rating agency to downgrade the US not once (ahead of everyone else), but twice. In the meantime, the SEC still has NO IDEA what liquidity is, and continues to refuse to take ANY action against High Frequency Trading, to press criminal charges against ANY banker, or for that matter, to do anything that may jeopardize its staffers future careers as 7th assistant general council at assorted bailed out Wall Street firms.

Sure enough, all missed, since we are now in NEW QE prep mode.

  • Philly Fed: 8.5, missed expectations of 12.0, and lower than the previous print of 12.5 (source)
    • New Orders down from 3.3, to 2.7
    • Prices Paid spike from 18.7 to 22.5,
    • but, just to add confusion to injury following the much weaker claims data, the Employment index rose from 6.8 to 17.9
  • Existing home sales, reported by the inherently conflicted NAR, missed, dropping from 4.61MM to 4.48MM, a data set which we caution readers is about 0.0% accurate and valid.
    • Total housing inventory at the end of February rose 4.3 percent to 2.43 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 6.4-month
    • The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $156,600 in February, up 0.3 percent from February 2011.
    • All-cash sales rose to 33 percent of transactions in February from 31 percent in January; they were 33 percent in February 2011
    • Single-family home sales declined 1.0 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million in February from 4.10 million in January
  • Finally, Eurozone consumer confidence also missed sliding to -19.8, on expectation of an improvement to -19.0 from -19.1

Judging by the kneejerk reaction lower, the misses were not big enough to send the market soaring.’

You might think the eurozone (again) and you’d be partially right as more bad news dumped rain on the bulls’ parade. And that rain was from the plain in Spain?

The crux of the matter, that will come as no surprise to any of our readers, is credit and "its central role to understanding the business cycle". Oscar Jorda then concludes, in a refreshingly honest and shocking manner that "Any forecast that assumes the recovery from the Great Recession will resemble previous post-World War II recoveries runs the risk of overstating future economic growth, lending activity, interest rates, investment, and inflation." His analysis, which Minsky-ites (and Reinhart and Rogoff) will appreciate - and perhaps our neo-classical brethren will embrace - is that the Great Recession upended the paradigm that modern macro-economic models omitted banks and finance and this time it really is different in that the 'achilles heel' of economic modeling - credit - cannot be considered a secondary effect. His analysis points to considerably slower GDP growth and lower inflation expectations as he compares the current 'recovery' to post-WWII recoveries across 14 advanced economies - a sad picture is painted as he notes "Today employment is about 10% and investment 30% below where they were on average at similar points after other postwar recessions." , Saudi Arabia Pumps Record 9.8 Million Barrels/Day In March ,

 

Bob Janjuah Dismisses Central Bank Independence Amid Monetary Anarchy 

   We discussed Bob Janjuah's must-read perspective of the market just over a week ago and his appearance on Bloomberg TV this morning reiterates that strongly held view that we are in midst of central bank anarchy and the rules of the game continue to change. While earnestly admitting his miss in Q1, on the back of under-estimation of just how incredibly un-independent central banks are (and will be proved to be in an election year), the bearded bear goes on to confirm his view of short term 10% correction in the S&P 500, a mid-year recovery on Bernanke's bowing to Obama's pressure, and ultimately back to S&P 500 in the 800pt range (and Dow/Gold to hit 1). Dismissing the don't-fight-the-Fed argument with analogies from 2007's 'you have to dance while the music is playing' and the tick-tick-boom carry trades that so many funds and investors follow now, he reminds the interviewer and the audience of how quickly all the trickle of carry gains are lost and then some when the music stops. Must watch to comprehend how smart money is comprehending the ultimate game theory of today's central bank largesse and the clear non-self-sustaining recoveries in global economies. , The Complete And Annotated "Hollande Victory" MatrixGuest Post: Crony Capitalism And The Expansive Central State  Crony capitalism arises when an expansive Central State dominates the economy. The Central State can then protect crony-capitalist perquisites, cartels, quasi-monopolies and financialization skimming operations of the sort which now dominate the U.S. economy's primary profit centers. If we step back, the larger context is the purpose and role of establishing a State to protect its citizens from foreign and domestic predation and exploition. The Central State is granted the sole power of coercion by its membership (citizenry) to protect the membership from the predation of individuals, concentrations of wealth and other subgroups seeking monopoly. They grant the State this extraordinary power to insure that no subgroup or individual can gain enough power to dominate the entire membership for their private gain and to protect freedom of faith, movement, expression, enterprise and association. Granting this power to the State creates a risk that the State itself may become predatory, supplanting the parasitic elements it was designed to limit. , Italian Bad Loans Surge To Highest Since 2000, Foreign Deposits Plunge , A Quick Reminder Ahead Of Tomorrow's Spain Debt Auction The Centre for European Policy Studies published their own findings this week and they estimate that the Real Estate accumulated overhang is actually almost $500 billion which equates to 59% of the IMF revised projections for Spain’s GDP. The EU and the ECB may not mandate that the Spanish banks have to mark-to-market in the normal fashion but a quick calculation indicates that the equity of the major Spanish banks is well into the red and past the blood line of any sustainable position. In my opinion, I would state, that the Spanish banks are in fact bankrupt and are only still alive given the financial shenanigans of how Europe allows the numbers to be calculated. I am well aware that many in Europe do not like to be confronted with the truth and that the stock market in the United States is so myopic that they wish to ignore the truth but the numbers are right in front of your nose if you care to look and reality has a funny way of catching up with the markets and reminding them one still equals one in the end. I am an adherent of the Greater Fool Theory and the trick is to let the other guy be the Greater Fool and not one of us. The “when” is unknowable but the “if” is behind us now and I suggest great caution. , Guest Post: Fake Conservatives As Dangerous To Freedom As Obama The campaign of Barack Obama in 2008 was a perfect example of the propaganda pageant, complete with visceral slogans like “Hope” and “Change”.  After eight years of the clownish George Bush Jr., when our country spiraled down into a state of disturbed and vicious adolescence, people were looking for a renewal.  They were looking for a path away from the edge of the abyss.  Instead, they were given a better liar, with a brand new costume.  The American Dream has become harder to sustain since…to say the least. In 2012, what I see is like a lightning bolt in slow motion.  I can sense it branching out across the sky towards the ground and tearing through our surroundings, upending everything we know.  Both the President and Congress have some of the lowest approval ratings in history.  The question of whether anything can be accomplished through government has been answered for most people with a resounding “no”.  The citizenry is on the verge of total fury. I wish I could say that most have abandoned the fleeting hollow satisfaction of choosing the “lesser of two evils”, but that would not be accurate.  , Visualizing Aubrey McClendon "Rehypothecation" Scheme...

As Mike Wilson of Morgan Stanley notes, for those looking for a cause or explanation of recent weakness, feel free to blame it on the more hawkish Fed minutes, Draghi’s comments that it was now “up to governments to do the right thing” or the soft US payroll numbers. After such an uninterrupted run, some kind of correction was inevitable and simply a matter of timing. The bigger question to resolve is whether this pull back will look like what we experienced in 2010 and 2011 or end up being more muted. Obviously, the key variables for this analysis remain growth and liquidity expectations. The 'payback' that we have been warned about for such an unseasonably warm winter is upon us (as macro data surprises increasingly to the downside) and that is the first flaw in BTFD logic. Wilson goes on to point out that NFIB small business hiring intentions have dropped precipitously, GDP growth is weak but earnings growth is now catching up (down) to that weakness and for many stocks is rapidly falling towards zero, we remain in a 'liquidity lull' as central banks stand on the sidelines and reflect, and perhaps most worrisome is the rapid deterioration in the Bloomberg financial conditions index. All-in-all, these sum up to suggest a greater-than-5% correction is more than likely. , On The Goldman Path To Complete World Destruction: Mark Carney On His Way To Head The Bank Of England? Durden ‘…The place? Why the center of the entire modern infinitely rehypothecatable financial system of course: England, which may have 1,000x consolidated debt/GDP, but at least it can repledge any asset in perpetuity thus giving the world the impression it is solvent (no wonder AIG, MF Global, and now the CME are scrambling to operate out of there).

The state went so far as to chase around widows and children to collect taxes owed.  By the 4th century, the Roman economy and tax structure were so dismal that many farmers abandoned their lands in order to receive public entitlements.  At this point, the imperial government was spending the majority of the funds it collected on either the military or public entitlements. For a time, according to historian Joseph Tainter, "those who lived off the treasury were more numerous than those paying into it." Sound familiar? , LTROver , Chris Martenson: "The Trouble With Money" Recently I was asked by a high school teacher if I had any ideas about why students today seem so apathetic when it comes to engaging with the world around them. I waggishly responded, "Probably because they're smart." In my opinion, we're asking our young adults to step into a story that doesn't make any sense. Sure, we can grow the earth's population to 9 billion (and probably will), and sure, we can extract our natural gas and oil resources as fast as possible, and sure, we can continue to pile on official debts at a staggering pace -- but why are we doing all this? Even more troubling, what do we say to our youth when they ask what role they should play in this story -- a story with a plot line they didn't get to write? So far, the narrative we're asking them to step into sounds a lot like this: Study hard, go to college, maybe graduate school. And when you get out, not only will you be indebted to your education loans and your mortgage, but you'll be asked to help pay back trillions and trillions of debt to cover the decisions of those who came before you. All while operating within a crumbling, substandard infrastructure. Oh, and by the way, the government and corporate sector appear to have no real interest in your long-term future; you're on your own there. Yeah, I happen to think apathy is a perfectly sane response to that story. Thanks, but no thanks.

That said, digging among the unredacted data, one does find the occasional pearl. Such as the following exchange between CHAIRMAN BERNANKE and the Fed staff, from the October 28-29, 2008 meeting, in the days when AIG was dying, when Lehman had failed, when money markets had frozen and when the end of the world was nigh.

It is in effect filling the gap between exploding costs and declining income, just like the middle class did until they ran out of collateral to leverage. The dwindling middle class, now at best perhaps 25% of the workforce, has been reduced to tax donkeys supporting those above and below who are dependent on Federal largesse. Fisher found that this cycle ends in transformational political upheaval. No wonder; even as the class paying most of the taxes shrinks and is pressured by higher costs, the class of dependents expands as the economy deteriorates and the super-wealthy Power Elites continue to control the levers of Central State power. 25 Signs That Middle Class Families Have Been Targeted For Extinction  http://albertpeia.com/25signsmiddleclasstargetedforextinction.htm

It’s not a new experience for markets since we’ve had both factors dominating markets over the past three years. When the punchbowl is removed we move sharply lower as this seems to be the only support available. Stocks sell-off on sharply higher volume from both the public and insiders. Poor economic data (Jobless Claims) then drives Fed governors to the speaking circuit with hints of QE and further stimulus as Dudley and Yellen did Thursday, and markets rally. Wash, rinse and repeat.Thursday also featured the “rumor” that Friday’s China’s GDP data would exceed 9% rather than show contraction. This helped Thursday’s rally but then bulls met reality when the number was only 8.1%. (Buy the rumor, sell the fact.) There are some companies (too few it seems) like Apple (AAPL) and International Business Machines (IBM) doing great things and performing well. And with major indices being price-weighted by both companies, real returns can mislead. Friday stock prices fell sharply driven lower by China GDP report and more crummy news from the eurozone. Spanish 10-year bonds pushed yields over 6% making the spread to German Bunds (1.6%) quite wide. In Italy new government debt is being issued only for less than one year duration. This is a very bad sign as investors aren’t willing to risk longer-term duration.Most everything reversed course Friday as stocks were weaker, bonds (TLT) and the dollar (UUP) higher, commodities (DBC, USO, GLD) weaker—wash, rinse, repeat.JP Morgan (JPM) and Wells-Fargo (WFC) reported earnings that were not well received. Overall these reports impacted financials (XLF) negatively with Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) on deck to report next week.Frankly 2012 may become a carbon copy of 2011 and 2010 from a seasonal view. This seems strange but coincides with DeMark Indicators and QE conditions.Volume was only marginally higher than yesterday’s large light volume rally. Breadth per the WSJ was quite negative…’Steinhardt On The Fed's Failure And The End Of Wall Street As We Know It The low interest rate 'logic' is not working and "the economy can't gain any zest, can't gain any vigor" is how Michael Steinhardt describes the crushing of 'widows and orphans' that the Fed has embarked upon. In a Bloomberg TV interview, the WisdomTree chairman notes the broad 'pall' over the equity markets (conjuring images of a funeral procession down Trinity Street) pointing out that there is no reason to be wildly bullish here. Citing Wall Street's lack of 'spirit', he questions the entire raison d'etre of efficient capital transfer as becoming secondary as he rather poignantly asks who has benefited from Fed's policies "Certainly the banks. But ordinarily you'd say, well, low interest rates benefit housing. It certainly hasn't benefited housing."…’ , Why JPM's "Chief Investment Office" Is The World's Largest Prop Trading Desk: Fact And Fiction "What Bernanke is to the Treasury market, Iksil is to the derivatives market" , Egan Jones Downgrades JPMorgan ‘The iconoclastic rating agency, and fully recognized NRSRO to the dismay of some tabloids, which just refuses to play by the status quo rules, and which downgraded the US for the second time last Friday, to be followed soon by other rating agencies as soon as US debt crosses the $16.4 trillion threshold in a few short months, has just done the even more unthinkable and downgraded Fed boss JPMorgan from AA- to A+.’ , No Hints Of QE In Latest Bernanke Word Cloud ‘Addressing his perception of lessons learned from the financial crisis, Ben Bernanke is speaking this afternoon on poor risk management and shadow banking vulnerabilities - all of which remain obviously as we continue to draw attention to. However, more worrisome for the junkies is the total lack of QE3 chatter in his speech.

Sometimes, the government has its way, fueling rising prices and interest rates. Other times bond speculators front-run the central bank’s unlimited appetite for purchasing government bonds and the rate of interest falls. We are now in year 31 (so far) of this latter phase. As the total accumulated debt increases (feature #450 of irredeemable money is that total debt cannot go down), the effect of a change in the rate of interest becomes larger and larger. Today, even very small fluctuations have a disproportionate impact on the burden of debt incurred at every level, from consumer to business to corporate to government at every level.

4-12-12 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  BAD NEWS BULLS 4-12-12 ‘Let’s see, Jobless Claims were terrible by recent comparisons and recorded a large miss (380K vs 355K expect and prior revised higher as usual to 367K). Some analysts blamed Easter for the rise which seems odd frankly. Plenty of rumors were planted that China’s GDP growth (released Friday) would be better than expected and yields in the eurozone were lower on talk of more ECB buying. None of that is real news yet. Frankly the Chinese can make-up any number they want in their autocracy. Does anyone really believe otherwise? The real news came from Fed Vice-Chair Janet Yellen who assured QE and ZIRP addicted bulls that ZIRP was here to stay, and by implication, more QE when and as if needed. This comment was echoed by NY Fed governor Dudley who said the Fed is analyzing recent poor employment data to determine if the recovery is losing momentum and more stimulus (Fed speak for more QE) is needed.This is what this bull market has feasted on the last two years—QE and ZIRP. The Fed has bought 85% of all Treasury debt > 10 year maturities since Operation Twist began in November 2011. So the Treasury sells debt to pay its bills while the Fed prints money to fund it. It’s like a government façade fronted by an ATM behind which is a large printing press …’ { This may sound like a free lunch but the reality is far from that and the price will be very dear! } , Why The Market Is Praying The Fed Does Not Plug Its Heavy Flow Durden 4-12-12, China GDP Misses Expectations By A Mile, Rises Only 8.1%, Slowest Pace Since September 2009 , Was The SEC "Explanation" Of The Flash Crash Maliciously Fabricated Or Completely Flawed Out Of Plain Incompetence? , Fed Doves Send Risk Soaring, Apples Dropping , Largest US Teacher Pension Fund Underfunding Increases By $9 Billion To $64.5 Billion, Only 69% Funded , Pick Your Poison With Barton Biggs , Uneventful 30 Year Auction Breaks 3 Month Trend Of Rising Yields , El-Erian Breaches The Final Frontier: What Happens If Central Banks Fail? , JPMorgan Technicals: "The “One Way” Market Rally Since Dec-Jan Is Over" , Guest Post: Should Corrupt Bankers Face the Death Penalty? { Death penalty?

If a Madoff takes your money and uses it to pay off other investors in a ponzi scheme, you won’t be able to get it back. If a Blankfein underling issues you with misleading advice, and then bets against you (creaming himself a nice profit), you won’t be able to get it back. If a Corzine steals your money and uses it to bet on the European sovereign debt market, you might not be able to get it back. You might end up in poverty or worse. You might lose your children’s college money, your retirement money, or capital you needed for your business. You might lose your home. So shouldn’t we take a tough line against financial misdeeds? Shouldn’t tricking and stealing from investors, tricking and stealing from the public, tricking and stealing from clients carry a heavy disincentive, like death? Would a corrupt banker not think twice about their misdeeds if they knew that apprehension would mean a noose around their neck and a kicked bucket? A lot of commentators — like for example, Max Keiser — seem to think so. And in China financial crimes are treated with a gravity far beyond a cushy minimum security cell, and home visits on the weekends. Financial criminals in China are often executed.

As a result, any shred of bullish news would spark a rally. Sure enough, on cue, Alcoa (AA) beat much reduced estimates and somewhere from the bowels of the ECB came the message they “might” be willing to buy “some” Spanish debt. Like I said, it wouldn’t take much “might” and “some” language to get the bullish wave going.Bread and Circuses is a metaphor for a superficial means of appeasement. It was the basic Roman formula for the well-being of the population, and hence a political strategy unto itself. It also coincided with the decline of Rome. From Wikipedia the definition continues: “It describes the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion, distraction, and/or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of the a populace.” And who would argue this not being the current situation in our modern society and political leaders.More serious news from Wells Fargo which forecast better new home sales which in turn bid up homebuilders (ITB) and others loosely linked to the sector. Who can qualify for new home mortgage loans has become a challenge. Nevertheless, this is the sector leading stock indexes higher Wednesday.The Fed’s Beige Book was released at 2 PM and indicated ongoing modest economic expansion. The previous employment report was not factored in and the report overall was as expected. Then it’s no coincidence that the report was preceded and followed by all manner of Fed governors campaigning in support of Fed policies. Then later the government announced the budget deficit for March at $198 billion. This was little noticed since the Fed is now buying over 80% of the debt the Treasury is selling which puts officialdom at least in “Three-card Monte” territory. When you have a printing press you don’t need a charge card. For Americans, as long as they can buy iGadgets, a car and go to the mall why should they care? These features are the highlight from the bread and circus environment we live in.Gold (GLD) was flat as was the dollar.

Four years seems like a long time for global banks and government entities to subdue or postpone a financial breakdown, and an overly optimistic person might suggest that there may never be a sharp downturn in the markets.  Couldn’t we simply roll with the tide forever, buoyed by intermittent fiat injections, treasury swaps, and policy shifts? The answer……is no.

Bulls would like to see them as nonthreatening, but then they come back to haunt them like tar balls bobbing to the surface in the Gulf.Bulls might argue that a correction was due after outsized first quarter gains. They appear to be right for now unless current selling builds on current declines. One thing is clear; equities are short-term oversold so a bounce could occur at any time. Nevertheless stocks were sold hard most of the day with few leading the way lower as selling was widespread. They may not get much help from earnings since outlooks have been cut sufficiently which paradoxically could lead to beats. All this will start with Alcoa (AA) earnings which are usually a complex mess to understand anyway. AA earnings beat estimates which shouldn’t surprise given all their warnings and lowered estimates by analysts. This is typical for many companies: give terrible guidance, see analysts’ lower expectations and then beat on the news.Gold (GLD) rallied sharply as worries about the eurozone (IEV) and other global risks intensified.

The crash test dummies know better: they've been called up for a humongous crash. The basic mechanism that is being overlooked is Liquidity Resistance.

4-9-12 We Are Nearing the End Game of Central Bank InterventionApril 9, 2012 By gpc1981 Because of a lack of foreign interest in long-term Treasuries, the Fed decided to step in to pick up the slack. As a result of this, the US Federal Reserve has accounted for 91% of all new debt issuance in the 20+years bracket. Put another way, the US Federal Reserve is now effectively the long-end of the US debt market.Operations Twist 2 has also allowed US commercial banks to unload their long-term Treasury holdings in exchange for new capital: something most of the Primary Dealers are in dire need of. This in turn helps to explain why the US stock market has advanced despite the fact that retail investors have been pulling out of the market in droves.Put another way, the markets have been ramped higher by more juice from the Fed (and corporate buybacks). However, the fact remains that this juice has come from the Fed reallocating its current portfolio holdings, NOT printing more money outright to monetize US debt via QE.So while the media and 99% of analysts believe the Fed is and can continue to act aggressively to prop up the markets, the fact is that the Fed has been reining in its monetary stimulus over the last nine months, largely relying on verbal intervention from Fed Presidents to push stocks higher… , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com BULLS LIVE IN DENIAL 4-9-12 ‘What can rally markets off recent lows is this announcement from Bloomberg: “Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will speak to an Atlanta Fed conference and after will engage in a brief, moderated Q&A session. Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart will also speak at various times during the conference, as will Boston Fed Pres. Eric Rosengren, in Stone Mountain, Ga.” Bernanke et al are stock market tape watchers. No doubt focus groups are giving him some tidbits of QE hope for discouraged bulls. They’ll be looking for it in any parsed phrase.In China inflation data was reported as hot while at the same time authorities wished to ease. This is a contradiction and may not happen as now they’d be trapped. The eurozone is back center stage with reports of their recovery being greatly exaggerated. Spain is on deck and any austerity measures will be greeted with riots. The ECB has already printed nearly $1.3 trillion (about the same as the U.S. Fed) to stimulate and/or bailout their mostly southern neighbors. They may be tapped-out and if not they’re just pushing on a string.Earnings season will begin with Alcoa (AA) leading off once again.

Reversing Mitt Romney's famous quote "corporations are people", Bank Of America remains skeptical of this self-sustaining recovery - expecting second half growth to slow significantly as businesses and households react to the risk of a major fiscal shock (and in the short-term, momentum looks unsustainable). From an income statement perspective, 'a paycheck just ain't what it used to be' with food and energy prices rising and payroll growth (typically a good proxy for income growth) is disappointingly timid leaving real disposable income diverging weakly from a supposed job recovery. The balance sheet perspective has been helped by the rise of the equity market but the recovery in net worth in the last three years has barely outstripped income growth, leaving the ratio deeply depressed. The upshot is that the recent pick-up in consumption is not being fueled by income or wealth gains, but mainly by drawing down savings. Many households remain deeply distressed and react to higher costs of living by drawing down savings further. , JPMorgan Trader Accused Of "Breaking" CDS Index Market With Massive Prop Position , Q1 Post Mortem Stunners: Full Year 2012 EPS Forecasts Are Down 2% YTD; Apple Represents 15% Of S&P Rise , Egan Jones Downgrades USA From AA+ To AA, Outlook NegativeA few weeks ago when discussing the imminent debt ceiling breach, and the progression of US debt/GDP into the 100%+ ballpark, we reminded readers that in February S&P said it could downgrade the US again in as soon as 6 months if there was no budget plan. Not only is there no budget plan, but the US is about to have its debt ceiling fiasco repeat all over as soon in as September.

Minutes ago, Egan Jones just reminded us of all of this, after the only rating agency that matters, just downgraded the US from AA+ to AA, with a negative outlook. , Bank Downgrade Forward Calendar , Today's Ebay Special - The Country Of Greece , On The Pain In Spain , Nonfarm payrolls should fall by 377,000 (But they won’t)  : ilene : 04/05/2012 What's your wild guess? , Greece: Even Corruption Is In A Deep Recession : testosteronepit : 04/05/2012 Bribes for surgery.  , Is The Japanese Party Ending? , Four Weeks Of Deja Vu Propaganda , 3 Charts On The 'Real' Deteriorating State Of Corporate Balance SheetsIf you spend your day listening to mainstream financial media you could be forgiven for believing that things have never been better for corporate balance sheets - exceptionally high levels of cash and fortress-like conservatism for example.

In a bizarre story in CNN Money, we are told that two billionaire 'married' executives of Marvell Technologies - MRVL (no, not the comic book though that would be spectacular) are suing Goldman for what initially appears to be a straight-forward alleged fraud of unauthorized transfer of ownership of their MRVL shares to Goldman's internal fund to enable more borrow availability for shorts (1 Corzine-ing). But the story gets better. The executives, upon the advice of another Goldman broker were advised to take levered long positions in competitor NVDA's shares (which GS was allegedly selling out of its own book - 2 Corzine-ings) only to very rapidly face significant losses when the company missed and the stock dropped notably (3 Corzine-ings). Then, GS sends the MRVL execs margin calls on that position (4 Corzine-ings) and unwilling to accept the MRVL shares as collateral due to its low share price (5 Corzine-ings), forces the former MRVL executives to sell their MRVL shares (6 Corzine-ings) to meet cash calls - all the while remembering that GS had transferred the ownership in order that they could allegedly have more of this hard-to-borrow stock to short (7 Corzine-ings). What's more, the couple's suit alleges that Goldman and a hedge fund run by Goldman were buying MRVL's shares at the same time the firm was forcing Sutardja and Dai to sell (8 Corzine-ings). Both NVDA and MRVL's shares have since more than doubled from their late 2008 lows. The couple claim they lost more than $100 million because of their forced sales and general Muppet massacre. , The Second Foreclosure Tsunami Is Coming, And Is About To Kill Any Hopes Of A "Housing Bottom" In what appears to be surprising news for some, Reuters has an article titled "Americans brace for next foreclosure wave" whose key premise is that "a painful part two of the [housing] slump looks set to unfold: Many more U.S. homeowners face the prospect of losing their homes this year as banks pick up the pace of foreclosures.", Stocks Have Second Biggest Plunge Of 2012 , "Won't Be Fooled This Week Either": Retail Celebrates Highest Stock Prices Since 2007 With Biggest Redemptions Of 2012 , There's No Painless Way OutUncle Sam's bills of almost $4tn per year relative to his income of just over $2tn means that he does what most American's do - he borrows money - and it is this simple fact that underpins the reasoning that there is no painless way out of the mountain of debt that we have amassed over the last few decades. , "The Boredom Discount": Why Greater Risk Does Not Lead To Greater ReturnConfused by stock bubbles and furious episodes of manic market euphoria?

America's dirty laundry that is. Our family secrets. The skeletons in the closet. The goal is to create a list of the many and numerous ways in which our country is deluding itself into believing we are the greatest, smartest, most innovative, freedom loving country that ever was. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some unpatriotic ne'er do well. I love what the Founding Fathers of our country set out to accomplish, faults and all. I love it so much {Love it?I don’t even like it! }, I was willing to put my life on the line for this country by serving in a US Marine Corps special forces unit for 8 years (your move armchair patriot). But we have drifted so far from the original concepts, I believe our current central planning apparatus more closely resembles the USSR than what most people think is the USA. So I'm going to kick this list off but in no way do I intend this to be exhaustive. Please, add your own comments and thoughts.  Take the list and grow it.  Spread it around.  Repost it, tweet it, facebook it (whatever that means) and let's start the healing process by admitting what's wrong.Sort of like a political and economic 12-step program.  Hi, my name is Brian Rogers and I'm an asset of the state.  And I want to quit.

The List

1.  Money - The US dollar is a currency controlled by a private consortium of banks under the Federal Reserve System.  There is nothing "Federal" about the Federal Reserve, it is owned and absolutely controlled by bankers.  Sound free? 

2.  The Federal Reserve System - The Fed is neither under the auspices of Executive, Legislative nor Judicial branches of government.  The most important and largest decisions they make cannot be audited by any branch of the US government.  Sound free?

3.  Presidential authority - The POTUS can these days declare martial law and based on the language of the recently passed NDAA, arrest any US citizen he wants, anywhere he wants and hold them without due process for as long as he wants.  All the POTUS has to say is that the person is a terrorist.  Sound free? 

4.  Federal judges - Even in during Rome's imperial years, about half of the federal judges were voted by the people.  Today, all Federal judges are political appointment.  Sound free?

5.  Electoral college - We do not have a popular vote.  The masses just simply can't be trusted.  We choose special delegates to enact the "final solution" (pun intended).  Sound free?

6.  Campaign finance - Corporations are people.  Seriously.  Mitt Romney was right.  As long as national elections have an essentially uncapped spending limit, the game of politics will always be about money and who has the most.  Those monied interests then become the only real constituent.  Everyone else just gets lip service.  In the meantime, average citizens everywhere are priced out of even trying to run for office given the exorbitant costs to participate in the system.  Read my lips, sound free?

7.  Term limits - Nope.  We seem to like our political class and want to make sure that we can get the same old idiots year in and year out.  They have no incentive to make hard choices, only political choices to keep their career feeding at the government trough.  And the good ones, meaning the most political and successful at money raising, become furniture and stay for decades.  Sound free?

8.  Income taxes (or direct taxation) - You no longer have the right to 100% of the result of your hard work aka wages.  The government has decreed that you must share your income with everyone else or go to jail.  Ayn Rand once said that the basis for every totalitarian dictatorship was altruism.  Sacrifice for the state.  I certainly don't blindly follow Ms. Rand like Alan Greenspan did, but on this point I agree entirely.  Sound free?

9.  Legal tender laws - Don't like the dollar?  Wish you could simply eject yourself out of the Federal Reserve System by buying some gold and silver coins and using them to make payment for goods and services?  While some merchants may gladly do business with you, the transaction is very much illegal.  You MUST use the FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES controlled and priced by the Oracles of Delphi at the Fed.  Sound free?

10.  "Cost" of money - Modern finance values assets using various pricing methods.  All of these, however, share a common theme, they all discount future cash flows using the Risk Free rate which is normally defined as US Treasuries.  The Fed is artificially controlling and manipulating US Treasuries.  Therefore, every asset on the planet has a price that is artificial as the rates implicit in its price are not market rates.  They are what the Bernank and the Oracles of Delphi think they should be.  Sound free?

11.  Two-party political system - Seriously, do I really need to break down the hypocrisy exhibited on a daily basis by team red and team blue?  As Zero Hedge pointed out recently, 50% of the American public votes.  About 50% of the public is politically active in the two major parties.  Therefore, in any given election, the winner will only represent about 25% of the population.  And we wonder why special interests get all the attention.  Sound free?

What else? 

Like I said, this list isn't meant to be exhaustive, in fact just the beginning.  Please add your own ideas, improve on mine and pass this along.In the meantime, it's a beautiful day here in Manhattan and I'm about to take a walk and enjoy it.  I can still do that without asking permission or paying a tax so I'm going to take advantage.  Perhaps I'll stroll over to Coffee Shop again at Union Square.  On the way, perhaps I'll run into The Occupy Wall Street Movement at Union Square.  We can heckle the police about how they are working for the "man" while secretly justifying their thug tactics by thinking about the nice pension plan waiting for them at the end of their career rainbow.  The same pension plan that is rapidly becoming insolvent under the Bernank's ZIRP…’

High Yield Credit Fundamentals Starting To CrackWe have been warning of the uncomfortable current similarities to last year's (and for that matter cycle after cycle) high-yield credit underperformance / lagging behavior 'canary-in-the-coalmine' relative to the exuberant equity market for a month now. Now, Bank of America provides - in two succinct charts - the fundamental underpinning of this grave concern as across the high-yield credit universe revenues are not catching up with costs - creating significant margin pressures - and at the end of the day, a market that cares more for cash flow sustainability than the latest headline or quarter EPS upgrade from some sell-side pen-pusher is waving a red-flag as margins are the lowest they have been since March 2009 and is falling at a much faster clip than in the fall of 2008 as the reality of money-printing comes home to roost. And just to add salt to this fundamental wound, technicals are starting to hurt as supply picks up and 'opportunistic' issuance turns notably heavy - perhaps helping to explain how the ongoing inflows have been unable to push prices further up in the US. Lastly European high yield is trading tick-for-tick with sovereign risk still - as it has since the middle of last year and so as LTRO-funded carry fades, we would expect it to underperform - especially as austerity slows growth. , A Thought Experiment: Why Not Just Print, Print, Print And Then Print Some More?In the past we have jokingly discussed the creation of a Death Star as the way the world can save itself by printing an almost infinite amount of money to support growth. As almost everyone, especially the MMT crowd it seems, can plainly see, if printing some money is good (well it must be, markets are up) then printing more money must be better, right? Well, no (as we discussed in detail here). There are unintended consequences and as we pointed out recently, we are already seeing less and less effervescence in the real economy from QE's impact and the spectre of the inflationary pressures that implicitly limit the 'benefit' of this action is nowhere more painful than in energy prices (and in fact the price of anything in relative limited supply as opposed to cash which is printed daily). Professor Antony Davies, of Duquesne, takes this subtle concept to task in this exceptionally straightforward 206-second video on money as an IOU and its solution to the caveman's ills providing the background for why money's inherent value is relinquished once it becomes printed en masse. Printing more money doesn't make more goods and services appear, simply spreads the value of the existing goods and services among a larger number of dollars - this is inflation. Our wealth comes not from money but from the goods and services that money buys.

Guest Post: Four Signs Of Asia’s Rise Over The West , The 2013 Fiscal Logjam Durden  With the political season heating up, and tax season upon us, we thought it worthwhile drilling into exactly how painful the potential pre-programmed fiscal tightening in 2013 is likely to be. As Credit Suisse notes, "it ain't over til its over" as the suspicion is that a lame duck session of Congress will forestall some of the tightening but until Congress acts, the economy is still technically in a collision course with the largest fiscal hit in modern times. ,  Guest Post: You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Part Two Anyone who hasn’t sensed a mood change in this country since the 2008 financial meltdown is either ignorant or in denial. Millions of Americans fall into one of these categories, but many people realize something has changed – and not for the better. The sense of pure financial panic that existed during September and October of 2008 had not been seen since the dark days of 1929. Our leaders used the initial terror and fear to ram through TARP and stimulus packages that rewarded the perpetrators of the financial collapse rather than helping the middle class who lost 8 million jobs, destroyed by Wall Street criminality. The stock market plunged by 57% from its 2007 high by March 2009. What has happened since September 2008 has set the stage for the next downward leg in this Crisis. The rich and powerful have pulled out all the stops and saved themselves at the expense of the many. Despite overwhelming proof of unabashed mortgage fraud, rating agency bribery, document forgery on a grand scale and insider trading based on non-public information, the brazen audacity of Wall Street oligarchs is reminiscent of the late stages of the Roman Empire. ,


4-2-12 Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CENTRAL BANK LIQUIDITY KEEPS BULLS HAPPY 4-2-12 ‘As Marc Faber reported Monday, two separate packages of over $1.3 trillion LTROs (Long-Term Refinancing Operations: dba “bailouts”) in the U.S. & Europe are bullish for stocks.

The Dow up 8% and enjoying a record quarter in terms of points — 994 of them to be exact and in percent terms, now just 7% off attaining a new all-time high. The S&P 500 surged 12% (and 3.1% for March; 28% from the October 2011 lows), which was the best performance since 1998.
It seems so strange to draw comparisons to 1998, which was the infancy of the Internet revolution; a period of fiscal stability, 5% risk-free rates, sustained 4% real growth in the economy, strong housing markets, political stability, sub-5% unemployment, a stable and predictable central bank. And look at the composition of the rally. Apple soared 48% and accounted for nearly 20% of the appreciation in the S&P 500. But outside of Apple, what led the rally were the low-quality names that got so beat up last year, such as Bank of America bouncing 72% (it was the Dow's worst performer in 2011; financials in aggregate rose 22%). Sears Holdings have skyrocketed 108% this year even though the company doesn't expect to make money this year or next. What does that tell you? What it says is that this bull run was really more about pricing out a possible financial disaster coming out of Europe than anything that could really be described as positive on the global macroeconomic front. What is most fascinating is how the private client sector simply refuses to drink from the Fed liquidity spiked punch bowl, having been burnt by two central bank-induced bubbles separated less than a decade apart leaving David Rosenberg, of Gluskin Sheff, still rightly focused on benefiting from his long-term 3-D view of deleveraging, demographics, and deflation - as he notes US data is on notably shaky ground. This appears to have been very much a trader's rally as he reminds us that liquidity is not an antidote for fundamentals. , Biderman On April's Equity Inflection Point As Fed's Front-Loading FadesThe Fed has undertaken the same front-loading of the US economy for three years in a row (QE1, QE2, and Operation Twist) and each of the three times the performance of the US equity market to this sudden flush of liquidity has been almost identical in terms of velocity (speed and direction) - even though the underlying macroeconomic impact has been lesser and lesser as we pointed out here earlier. What is also most notable is that as we head into April (as Biderman reminds us, a typically positive 'flow' month for US equities given the tax-based moves and quarter-start) we are nearing what has been the inflection point in the previous two pump-and-hope episodes. While sounding eerily bullish in the very short-term, Charles is critically clear that he expects the short-lived nature of money-printing's impact on the market economy to fade rapidly as he fully expects the government agencies to revise their growth expectations more in line with his 'fact'-based growth expectations which are considerably lower. Though he notes the timing of the election may mean more of a sustained 'hope', the fact that in 2012 (starting Nov2011) equity performance is better now than the previous two Fed-infused rallies is perhaps why corporate insider-selling is so dominating insider-buying now through March. The avuncular antagonist concludes with his expectations that once the April surge is done with (which it may already have done today?) he fully expects the stock market to give up all its first quarter gains (and need we remind you that high yield credit is sending the very same signals of concern that it did in Q2 of the previous 2 rallies). , 10 'Facts' That Should Worry Europe's Equity 'Fiction' , Guest Post: There Is No Shortcut, But All We Have Are ShortcutsWe all know there is no shortcut to anything worth having--mastery, security, wealth-- yet all we have in America is another useless, doomed shortcut. Insolvency is scale-invariant, meaning that being unable to live within your means leads to insolvency for households, towns, corporations, states and national governments. There is no shortcut to living within one's means. Expenses must align with revenues or the debt taken on to fill the gap will eventually bankrupt the entity--even an Empire. We know this, but all we have in America is the shortcut of borrowing more to fill the gap between revenues and expenses. The Federal government is borrowing a staggering 40% of its budget this year--and it has done so for the past three years. Despite all the fantastic predictions of future solvency, the cold reality is that no plausible level of "growth" will close the gap: either expenses must be cut by $1.5 trillion or tax revenues raised by $1.5 trillion or some combination of those realities. , ISM Beats Expectations Modestly As Construction Spending Slides  , Meet The Uber-Kommissar: Germany Expands European Domination Plan; Will Enact European Budget Supervision Panel , Italian Banks Underwater On LTRO2 After Just One Month , Guest Post: Understanding The Slave MentalityIn the initial stages of nearly every recorded tyranny, the saucer eyed dumbstruck masses exhibit astonishing and masterful skill when denying reality.  , Ever Less Bang For The Printed BuckAs markets crave their next fix of the money-printing elixir, perhaps it is worth noting the ever-decreasing impact that the quantitative easing experiments have had on 'measures' of the real economy. This seems to suggest that either: "we're gonna need a bigger boat" and the ongoing QEs will need to be exponentially larger than the prior in order to enact change in the 'measures' of real economy; or, the Fed has hit its limit as yet another 'multiplier effect' has been proved wrong in the limit and all we get to play with is the unintended consequences of a hidden inflation peering into view. Of course this is typical Keynesian dogma: if at first you don't succeed, do it again but bigger, more global, and with more geopolitical danger. , The True French Debt To GDP: 146% , More Fed "Bad Cop"Bernanke telling the world the Fed will ease any time there is a stock downtick is the 'good cop.'

3-30-12 Is the U.S. economy going to be okay?  Well, if the only source you listened to was the mainstream media, you would be left with the distinct impression that the U.S. economy is heading toward a full recovery and that everything is going to be alright.  Unfortunately, that is not the case at all.  The United States is rapidly becoming poorer as a nation and less competitive in the global marketplace.  At the same time, consumer debt levels are rising, corporate debt levels are rising, state and local government debt levels are rising and the U.S. government is indulging in a debt binge unlike anything the world has ever seen.  Considering the insane amount of money the U.S. government has been pumping into the economy, we should have seen a much more robust recovery by now.  Instead, the employment statistics have barely moved and government dependence is at an all-time high.  That is really sad, because this is as good as "the recovery" is going to get.  The next major economic downturn is just around the bend, and in future years millions of us will desperately yearn for the "good old days" of 2012… , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com THE FIRST QUARTER GETS SOME WINDOW DRESSING 3-30-12 ‘Economic data Friday was mixed and depending on your vision or bias was spun to suit. Personal Income & Spending was a dangerously mixed bag with income down and spending up: (Personal Income .2% vs .4% expected & prior .3%. Spending .8% vs .6% expected & .4% prior. Core PCE was .1% vs .2% prior). With spending up a good portion of this goes to food and energy excluded in the “core” PCE. Since the “core” stuff is what the Bernank et al focus on it will justify ongoing ZIRP and perhaps more QE. It’s all contrived and absurd frankly.Later the Chicago PMI (62.2 vs 63 expected & prior 64) also disappointed with a miss but bulls didn’t mind.Consumer Sentiment (76.2 vs 75 expected & prior 74.3) rose and beat estimates but also has a larger stock market component than does Consumer Confidence data released previously.Bulls chose to embrace the spending side of data and Consumer Sentiment ignoring everything else.Apple’s (AAPL) share price declined on news that Google (GOOG) would be stepping up efforts to compete with Apple products like iPads and smart phones. Also much in the news was widely disseminated story that without the company’s earnings first quarter EPS for the S&P 500 would be flat versus up 1.50%.

In our opinion, the structural deformity of the European Union is, in itself, one of the main reasons that any attempt at a fiscal or economic fix never seems to work. Whether some proposed firewall is $760 billion or $1.3 Trillion or $13 Trillion makes no difference as in zero, nada, nothing and null. It is an IOU, a promise to pay and it is not counted in any European sovereign debt numbers nor is it counted in the figures for the European Union’s debt. It will not stop Spain or Portugal or Italy from asking for or needing money.

It appears that this estimate may have been slightly optimistic… by a factor of 1700%. Because coincident with the recent Supreme Court debacle, in which a constitutional law president may be about to find that his magnum opus law is, in fact, unconstitutional, someone actually read the whole thing cover to cover, instead of merely relying on the CBO’s, pardon Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs’, funding estimates. That someone is Republican Jeff Sessions who after actually running the numbers has uncovered that the true long-term funding gap is a mind-boggling $17 trillion, just a tad more than the original sub $1 trillion forecast. This latest revelation means that total underfunded US welfare liabilities: Medicare, Medicaid and social security now amount to $99 trillion! Add to this total US debt which in 2 months will be $16 trillion, and one can see why Japan, which is about to breach 1 quadrillion in total debt (yen, but who's counting), may want to start looking in the rearview mirror for up and comer competitors. And while Obama may have been taking creative license with a number that is greater than total US GDP, he was most certainly correct when saying that Obamacare would not add a penny to US debt. Because the second the US government comes to market to fund a true total debt/GDP ratio of 750%, it is game over, and the Fed will have its hands full selling Treasury puts every waking nanosecond to have any time left for the daily 3pm stock market ramp. , This Time Is No Different - Reflections On 1929 OptimismWhen it comes to markets, the following clip, as well as memories of recent market collapses, highlights that it is usually brightest just before it's pitch black. , Stocks Odd Man Out As Every Other Asset Class Has Now Faded LTRO2 , MarketWatch Goes Full Propaganda RetardGuest Post: The Consumption DysfunctionThe sharp drop in the personal savings rate in the month of February, which just hit to lowest level since January of 2008, is indicative of the problem.  While personal savings rates could be bled down further to sustain the current level of subpar economic growth - the world today is vastly different than prior to the last two recessions … , Another Failed Grand Plan In Europe , European Bailout Stigma Shifts From Banks To Sovereigns As Bundesbank Refuses PIG Collateral , Treasuries Crash Back To Equity's Unreality , Is The Chinese Stock Market About To Crash? , From Enron To Sino-Forest - Same Old SongEnron --> Worldcom --> Adelphia --> Lehman --> MF Global --> Greece --> Sino Forest --> ????

I regret the changes and will propose reforms, or, I suppose, re-reforms, as my program is very much in accord with that of the founders of this institution. Have you ever read the Federal Reserve Act? The authorizing legislation projected a body “to provide for the establishment of the Federal Reserve banks, to furnish an elastic currency, to afford means of rediscounting commercial paper and to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States, and for other purposes.” By now can we identify the operative phrase? Of course: “for other purposes.” As you prepare to mark the Fed’s centenary, may I urge you to reflect on just how far you have wandered from the intentions of the founders? The institution they envisioned would operate passively, through the discount window. It would not create credit but rather liquefy the existing stock of credit by turning good-quality commercial bills into cash— temporarily. This it would do according to the demands of the seasons and the cycle. The Fed would respond to the community, not try to anticipate or lead it. It would not override the price mechanism— as today’s Fed seems to do at every available opportunity—but yield to it. , The Insanity Of The Sarkozy Carry-Trade's Contagion Risk In 3 Charts , Chicago PMI Misses As Survey Respondents Warn Oil Price Shock "Tipping Point Fast Approaching" , The Sad Reality Of Macro Data PerformancePresented with little comment except to note that the next time someone uses the phrase "...but the data is coming in strong..." please show this chart as US and European macro data prints have consistently missed expectations for well over a month now... , Following Greek Bond Humiliation, Europe's Biggest Equity Investor Is Slashing Its European ExposureRemember this from September 2010? "Norway, which has amassed the world’s second-biggest sovereign wealth fund, says Greece won’t default on its debts. “The point is, do you expect these guys to default?” said Harvinder Sian, senior fixed-income strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, in an interview. “Norway has taken the view that they will not. The Greek holdings are particularly interesting because the consensus in the market is that they will at some point restructure or default.” Norway says its long-term perspective will protect it from losses. “One could say we are investing for infinity."... Uhm, Big Oops. Needless to say, this stupidity was roundly mocked by Zero Hedge at the time. Yet we can only applaud the fact that unlike other European investors (read primarily Italian banks) which are merely sinking ever deeper into the quicksand by dodecatupling down on pyramid scheme assets, the Norwegian SWF finally "plans to sharply reduce its European exposure while raising investments in emerging markets and Asia-Pacific, the finance ministry said on Friday." While we ridiculed their stupidity in 2010, we applaud Norway's prudence in this case, as unlike other insolvent European entities, the crude-rich country is not falling for the latest round of central planning bullshit, and is finally acting as a fiduciary agent. "We're reducing our European exposure because we see that economic development in the global economy is changing and this should also be reflected in our investment strategy," Johnsen said.

Q4 GDP Comes As Expected, Claims Miss Big Two Weeks In A RowFollowing last Thursday's weekly claims release we said "Initial Claims Beat Expectations, To Miss Next Week Following Revision" and sure enough, last week's 348K beat of 350K expectations has been revised wildly higher, to 364K, meaning the initial beat was not only a miss, it was wide by a mile relative to the 350K preliminary expectation. But robots do not care - all they care is the current print, which however this time also missed, printing at 359K on expectations of a 350K number. This is the first 4 week increase in the 4 week SMA since September as the weather impact of the record warm winter starts to fade away, as explained yesterday. Same gimmicks in the continuing claims number too which like everything out of the BLS is so meaningless for concurrent data, we will probably just wait until the next week revision to get a sense of what is truly happening. More troubling is that 78K people fell of extended and EUC claims as more and more drop out of the workforce. This means the unemployment rate just dropped courtesy of even more people giving up on finding work. Thank heavens for BLS math. In other news, the final Q4 GDP revision came unchanged at 3.0%, in line with expectations. There were no major changes to the components, however Personal consumption did decline modestly from the second revision's 1.52% to 1.47%. It also appears that the government has been consistently taking away less and less from "growth", detracting 0.93%, 0.89% and 0.84% with every consecutive revision. Overall, a wash, meaning March is about to close with about with 17 misses out of 19 key economic indicators. , A Cashless Society May Be Closer Than Most People Would Ever Dare To Imagine http://albertpeia.com/cashlesssocietynear.htm  , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  DIP BUYERS EMERGE ON TIME 3-29-12‘European stocks were lower on the day on more worries about…wait for it…Greece. Seems S&P thinks they need another debt restructuring. Shocked?! I thought not. This action spilled over to U.S. stocks which started the day down despite fairly benign economic data.Jobless Claims were heralded as beating the previous week’s report. But, naturally a close look revealed revisions to the previous report increased claims by 5% or 17K claims. Even though the current data (359K) missed estimates (350K) the prior report was revised from 348K claims to 365K. Headline writers could then state claims improved. Got that? These revisions to prior claims have been consistently higher over the past 20 weeks. Elsewhere GDP data came in at 3% which matched previous data and estimates so no big deal there.

Charting The Schrödinger Unemployment RateIn an essay by Pimco's Tony Crescenzi, using the old and worn out title "To QE or Not to QE", which asks just that question, one of the lines of analysis focuses on the traditional conventional wisdom relationship between the jobless rate and initial claims for unemployment insurance. Tony says that this correlation leads him to believe that the unemployment rate is lower than where it official stands because, "Progress has been made, for example, on the employment front, with the six-month moving average for private payroll gains increasing to 214,000 per month in the six months ended in February 2012 from 160,000 per month in the 12 months prior. Importantly, weekly filings for initial jobless claims have fallen to a four-year low, fully 100k below year-ago levels and in territory consistent with a further decline in the unemployment rate (see Figure 1)." So far so good, and indeed if one very simplistically tracks merely the unemployment rate to jobless claims, the picture does indeed seem rosier than it currently is. The problem however, is that as always happens in this case, initial claims reflect only a discrete component of the true unemployment situation in the New Normal, which more than anything is characterized by one specific feature: the avalanche like implosion of the labor force, and the departure of millions of people, almost monthly from the labor pool, noted so very often on these pages, and recently forcing even Goldman and JP Morgan to ask whether Okun's law is not in fact broken precisely because of this. As such there is one other correlation that in our humble opinion should be tracked far more closely when trying to anticipate the unemployment rate: that of the unemployment rate but not just to initial claims, but rather to initial and continuing claims, as well as extended benefits and EUCs, which provide a far better picture of those who are truly falling out of the labor pool. And as the chart below shows, when using that far more accurate New Normal correlation, the picture is decided worse. In fact, instead of a sub-7% implied unemployment rate, the true implied unemployment rate is just over 12.5.  , Brevan Howard's Three Uncertainties And One Certainty To Worry About In The USWe discussed earlier about the Fed's ZIRP policy and the transmission mechanism through which its free-money ends up in the real-economy (or not as the case in point). Brevan Howard agrees that the outlook for the US is not plain-sailing and that US growth does indeed face cross-currents, with the labor market improving at a steady pace while aggregate demand slows. While the firm remains more stoic, seeing a generally favorable macro backdrop, they note three uncertainties and one certainty that keeps them up at night. The pace of the drop in unemployment against only trend growth leaves its sustainability uncertain; the potentially temporary easing of the European financial crisis seems increasingly uncertain; and the growing tensions in the Middle East and the uncertainty over gas prices derailing the fragile economy. However, it is the one certainty that worries us most (and them, it seems), and that is the enormous fiscal drag the US faces in 2013 which unchecked could reduce real GDP growth by more than 3 percentage points. Even if the President and the new Congress cut this by half it would still be a noticeable drag on growth. , Guest Post: Welcome to the United States of Orwell, Part 4: "Consumer Protection" Just Another Federal Reserve Power Grab , European Weakness Spreads And Accelerates , "The Apple Conundrum": Why One Fund Is Not Buying The iKool-Aid , Charting Premature Jubilation - The US Economic Growth Momentum Is Now Over

Europe’s Bazooka Will Fire Blanks… Good Luck Killing the Crisis With ThatMarch 28, 2012 By gpc1981 Europe continues to take a page out of Hank Paulson’s “Crisis Combat” booklet, by unveiling one monetary “bazooka” after another. Obviously, EU leaders didn’t notice that Paulson’s “bazooka” completely failed to stop the 2008 Crash.Even more strangely, they keep pulling out bazooka after bazooka, first unveiling the EFSF which was supposed to raise €1 trillion but failed to raise even €10 billion without having to intervene in its own bond auctions.Then came the ESM, which was supposed to be another mega-bailout fund, which as before, is having trouble raising funds. After all, if one bailout fund is a dud, why would launching another fix anything?Oh, and I forgot to mention that both bailout funds will be leveraged… which Europe obviously doesn’t have enough of already (the EU banking system as a whole is leveraged at 26 to 1. Lehman Brothers was at 30-to-1 when it imploded). , US Debt Ceiling D-Day: September 14, 2012Earlier today, outgoing Treasury Secretary and tax challenged part-time pathological liar (see here) Tim Geithner said that any worries of the US debt ceiling are misplaced, and that at best such an event would occur "late in the year" (and to think the August 2011 extended $16.394 trillion debt ceiling was supposed to last well into 2013). Naturally, coming from Geithner, it meant this statement was a flat out lie the second it left his mouth, which is why we decided to do our own analysis of just when the latest and greatest debt ceiling would be breached. The answer is that at the current rate of debt issuance, which incidentally is going to accelerate sharply due to the recent extension of the payroll tax cuts which will require an incremental $100-150 billion total debt to be funded, and extrapolating future issuance solely on historical patterns, the US debt ceiling D-Day will be September 14, 2012. This means that there will be just over 6 weeks for the GOP to hijack each and every presidential debate before the November election with just this topic. Because there will hardly be anything more humiliating for Obama than to have to defend his platform even as the country is once again past the verge of insolvency, and forced to "commingle" retirement funds to keep Treasury operations running. Which incidentally is just as we predicted would happen when we explained why the GOP fast shelved the payroll tax debate so rapidly. It was nothing but a prelude to precisely this. Because once it is raised, and it will be raised of course, next up will be yet another ratings downgrade by S&P and this time, Moody's as well. All of which will most likely happen before November. , Is High Yield Credit Echoing 2011's Equity Nightmares? , Commodities Weak As Stocks Drop To Short-Term Credit Reality , Eric Sprott: The [Recovery] Has No Clothes , Bianco & Biderman On Bonds And deBasement "The day the Fed admits there is an inflation problem is the day they are too late" , Arguments On Obamacare Conclude, SCOTUS Decision Due By Late June , MF Global Hearing Live Today's primetime popcorn event is about to begin: as reported earlier, the House Financial Services Committee will hold an oversight and investigations hearing on the collapse of MF Global, beginning at 3 pm.

And while Jon Corzine will not be there, virtually everyone else from the firm who can promise that said vaporitzation of funds was merely a softward glitch and not the fault of anyone in particular, will be present, from the General Counsel, to the CFO, to the Deputy General Counsel of JPMorgan, all the way to Edith O'Brien, assistant treasurer of MF Global, who is expected to plead the Fifth. One wonders why if there is nothing to hide, but that is the topic of another discussion. And as exposed last week by the WSJ, this hearing will be particularly interesting as now it has been made clear that Corzine specifically gave the order to transfer funds to JPM's account. As NJ.com summarizes: "Per JC’s direct instructions." This line, contained in an email that an MF Global finance official sent to explain a $200 million transfer to JPMorgan Chase from an MF Global account containing customer funds, will be a focal point of a congressional hearing today into the futures firm’s collapse. The email, disclosed in a congressional memo circulated Friday, has raised questions about whether the former governor and CEO of MF Global knew customer money was being used to plug holes in the firm’s finances as it plunged into bankruptcy during the last week of October. As much as $1.6 billion of client funds has gone missing, according to a trustee liquidating the futures firm." , Mrs. Watanabe Prepares To Blow The JGB Bubble: Household Holdings Of Japanese Bonds Slide To Lowest In 7 Years , Mark Grant Explains The Latest European Con , Durable Goods Miss, Inventory Stockpiles Soar To New All Time High

Following the May 2010 flash crash, the investing public hoped that as part of its "exhaustive report", the SEC would find and hold responsible the various components of a broken market structure, be it HFTs, ETFs, stubbing and sub-pennying algorithms, and all the other knowns and unknowns we have covered over the years. Instead, in what would prove to be a move of cataclysmic stupidity (if sadly understandable - the SEC, like everyone else "in charge" is used to dealing with a gullible and simplistic public, which has no access to the real data and analysis, and whose opinion could be easily manipulated, at least until now), the regulator blamed and scapegoated it all on a Waddell and Reed trade (we wonder just what the quid pro quo was to get the asset manager to roll over and take the blame despite protestations to the contrary, at least in the beginning). The result was that the same investing public realized that market structure is so corrupt, and so robotically mutated, there is no place for the small investor in this broken market. Last week's BATS IPO fiasco merely confirmed this. And as usual, BATS (whose chairman Ratterman has just been demoted even as he stays on as CEO) decided to take the "passive voice" approach and blame it all on a faceless, emotionless, motiveless "software glitch"… What happened is that a malicious, 100% intentional Nasdaq algorithm purposefully brought BATS stock to a price of 0.00 within 900 millisecond of the company's break for trading! This is open SkyNet warfare.’ , This Is The World's Balance SheetIt is rather surprising that in a world in which anything and everything is only about money, it is next to impossible to find a consolidated balance sheet of the world's insolvent economies (i.e., the developed countries: US, Japan and the Euro Area). So for all those seeking a visual presentation of all the liabilities that have to be inflated away by the central banks (because that's what this is all about), rejoice: the broke world is presented below in its glory. The irony is that the problem would be quite fixable if it weren't for one minor issue: the bulk of the world's assets also happen to be its liabilities! At the end of the day, this may prove to be the fatal flaw in the chairman's attempt to dilute the global liabilities, he will be doing the same with the assets. , Six Variations On A Theme By PrinteriniA prevalent theme over the past 3 months has been the emergence of the Schrödinger world, where on one hand we have a world as it is, and on the other, as central planners, propaganda media, and a president caught up in a reelection campaign would want it to be. Luckily, that world only had a binary bifurcation associated to it - and a simple observation of the mythical collapsed its wave function in less time than it would take BATS to commit corporate suicide.  A much more fun world emerges when one enters the superstring reality of the Federal Reserve, and especially its chairman, where there are not two, not three, but a whopping six dimensions of (mis)perception, all dependent on one's point of view.

Perhaps more pointedly, especially given Bernanke's speech today on the Fed's extreme actions and given the hope for a constant interventionist role for the Fed to keep our economy market afloat "The fact that the Fed can, if it chooses, intervene without limit into any credit market - raises more uncertainty, and of course raises questions about why an independent agency of government should have such power." , CTRL+SPIN 3: The Fed Propaganda Tour Live Re-Educates Us On Their Response To The Financial CrisisUPDATE (via Bloomberg): *BERNANKE: `FORCEFUL' RESPONSE PREVENTED WORSE RECESSION and AIG HAS STABILIZED - phewee...

After explaining to us in the previous two lecture how the gold standard is just silly, why central banks are constitutionally awesome, and how the Fed almost single-handedly created the US since World War II, today's piece-de-resistance is Bernanke's take on his own response to the financial crisis. We are sure it will be thorough in its discussion of the massive and entirely hidden loans for nothing that were given to the banks, how they encouraged the risk-taking that led to it via their regulatory mis-controls, and removing MtM and unlimited free-money helped the world go around - all the while maintaining a strong-dollar policy inline with Treasury's apparent mandate.

Actually global financial markets are only selectively delevering. What delevering there is, is most visible with household balance sheets in the U.S. and Euroland peripheral sovereigns like Greece." Gross' long-term view is well-known - inflation is coming: "The total amount of debt however is daunting and continued credit expansion will produce accelerating global inflation and slower growth in PIMCO’s most likely outcome." The primary reason for Pimco's pessimism, which is nothing new, is that in a world of deleveraging there will be no packets of leverage within the primary traditional source of cheap credit-money growth: financial firms… As for the endgame: "Is a systemic implosion still possible in 2012 as opposed to 2008? It is, but we will likely face much more monetary and credit inflation before the balloon pops. Until then, you should budget for “safe carry” to help pay your bills. The bunker portfolio lies further ahead."

The U.S. dollar has probably been the closest thing to a true global currency that the world has ever seen.  For decades, the use of the U.S. dollar has been absolutely dominant in international trade.  This has had tremendous benefits for the U.S. financial system and for U.S. consumers, and it has given the U.S. government tremendous power and influence around the globe.  Today, more than 60 percent of all foreign currency reserves in the world are in U.S. dollars.  But there are big changes on the horizon.  The mainstream media in the United States has been strangely silent about this, but some of the biggest economies on earth have been making agreements with each other to move away from using the U.S. dollar in international trade.  There are also some oil producing nations which have begun selling oil in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which is a major threat to the petrodollar system which has been in place for nearly four decades.  And big international institutions such as the UN and the IMF have even been issuing official reports about the need to move away form the U.S. dollar and toward a new global reserve currency… , Police attack Portuguese protesting austerity measures Press TV ,  I’ve Never Seen a Confluence of Negative Factors Like This 3-24-12 gpc1981  , And 14 of 16 On Dallas Fed MissThe Dallas Fed Manufacturing Outlook just came with its largest miss of expectations in 9 months - and biggest drop in 7 months..

There is mounting evidence, as Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson notes, that 'make no mistake...institutional investors are all-in' as the rolling beta of mutual funds relative to the S&P 500 tops 1.10x at multi-year highs, institutional investors are most exposed to high beta sectors since MS data began, and long/shorts funds are near their most levered long since MS records began. Combine this with the massive surge in Insider Selling transactions in the last few weeks (apropos Charles Biderman's comments on the rally's support by Insider buying til now) and perhaps bearish retail sentiment will lead this market down as we hope that finally 'money-on-the-sidelines' fades from the parlance of all but the most aged and incompetent of market prognosticators. , Fed's Easing Efforts Having Less And Less Impact As Macro Seasonals Turn NegativePresenting The US Economy's Coming Fiscal CliffThe size and scale of 'current law' expectations for spending in 2012 and 2013 are dramatic to say the least.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Back in early 2011, even as the global economy was at best flatlining, the one goalseeked explanation to justify a levitating stock market (which was rising solely due to the short-term effect of transitory QE2 liquidity), was soaring corporate profitability (which only lasted as long as companies could trim some residual SG&A fat; they have now cut into the bone in terms of layoffs). This time around, with corporate margins having peaked, there had to be some other validation to explain away the "narrative" of the latest bout of central bank infused stock market levitation: it just happened that this time it was once again that old faithful, and always wrong, justification - decoupling. After all one just has to listen to 5 minutes of CNBC to hear it taken for granted that the US economy is doing oh so swimmingly. Here is a newsflash for all the permabulls out there. It isn't. Not only that, but as David Rosenberg highlights, 11 of the 13 most recent economic indicators have missed consensus expectations, and one can demonstrate that the other 2 - car sales and jobs - have been simplistically manipulated into a favorable outcome. So now that the market is turning over, with Europe and China both solidly into contractionary territory, with Corporate profit margins turning over, and with US data missing virtually every print, how long until the permabullish validations all go up in smoke, and the one true source of stock market "nirvana" - cheap money - is once again in high demand from the central planning cabal. In turn, the Chairsatans of the world will do as requested, as they always do, however not with crude (the real one - Brent, not that Cushing-buffered substitute) at $125, and with the risk that Israel may attack Iran any day now, with or without the blessing of the Fed's Class A director. , Saudi Arabia And China Team Up To Build A Gigantic New Oil Refinery - Is This The Beginning Of The End For The Petrodollar? http://albertpeia.com/beginningofendforpetrodollar.htm  ‘The largest oil exporter in the Middle East has teamed up with the second largest consumer of oil in the world (China) to build a gigantic new oil refinery and the mainstream media in the United States has barely even noticed it...

Tough times are on the horizon.  It is imperative that we all get informed and that we all get prepared.’ , Gold Outperforms As Stocks Drop and Volume Pops Bernanke Lecture II Decrypted, Inflation 79: Deflation 0 The word 'inflation' dominated the words and thoughts of the propagandist-in-chief as he described the Fed's role in the global economy post World War II this afternoon. The 11,400 word speech contained a record-breaking 79 uses of the term 'Inflation' and exactly Zero uses of the word' Deflation'. Subliminally, we notice that the word 'might' is randomized in between the words 'Prices' and 'Inflation' and the words 'War' and 'Risks' are uncommonly tangential. We know in our hearts that the 8 uses of the word 'Paul' was Volcker-related but its proximity to the word ' bit' and 'inflation' leaves us questioning the deus-ex-machina that is Wordle and Bernanke. 'Monetary policy' and 'crisis' pop up a lot and it is evident that we have a 'financial economy' with the word 'Stable' only appearing 0.0015% during the speech. , Guest Post: A Primer For Those Considering ExpatriationA growing number of Americans are frustrated with the way in which their economy has been managed and are becoming increasingly concerned about future measures the government may take to keep its coffers full. A question that is arising with increasing frequency is: does expatriation offer a viable protection to those concerned about a more financially-intrusive US system? The short answer is 'yes' but while it does offer a solution to ending one's obligations to pay US taxes - it's important to understand that it's not suitable for everyone. Mark Nestmann gives a great nuts and bolts breakdown of what's involved and what the benefits and risks are , China, Russia Voice "US In Iran" Iren a number of stories in China's top newspapers today, the US has been slammed for its moves to restrict Iran's oil trade which could see Chinese banks sanctioned. As The People's Daily noted, Hong Lei (a Foreign Ministry spokesperson) warned such unilateral action was not only wrong but could exacerbate the stand-off over Iran's nuclear program. Arguing that China 'imports oil based on its economic development needs' without violating relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and undermining the third party's and international community's interests, he noted China will not accept the practice of saddling unilateral sanctions on the third country. Adding to this, China Daily notes the typical UN blah-dom of Wang Min's comments of the "more pragmatic importance to be firmly committed to dialogue and negotiations in order to properly solve the Iranian nuclear issue". While China is clearly 'disappointed' in the US efforts, Russia turns the dial to 11 with its comments that the US efforts are inflaming, as Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday, "Scientists in nearly all countries....are convinced that strikes may slow down the Iranian nuclear program. But they will never cancel it, close it down or eliminate it" warning that Iran will have no option but to develop nuclear weapons should the US strike. Well you can't please all the people all the time eh? Just ask Ben. , HFT Has Disconnected Commodities From FundamentalsHigh-frequency traders have caused U.S. commodity futures prices to disconnect from market fundamentals of supply and demand since the 2008 financial crisis. An extensive and detailed analysis by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development just confirms what we have shown again and again (most recently here in Silver) that HFT's impact on the world is not all unicorn-tears and liquidity-providing. Markets are more exposed to 'sudden and sharp' corrections, and as Reuters notes "The strategy of those involved in high-frequency trading tends to reinforce the correlation between equities and commodities". In a somewhat stunning conclusion from an academic treatise, the authors find "We are not saying that it's all about speculators and (that) fundamentals don't matter. But we are saying that they tend to matter less, except in extreme cases,". Unlike other studies on the linkages, the UNCTAD study uses tick-data and finds correlations rising and trade size dropping as frequency increased dramatically since the crisis in 2008. Critically, one final consequence is that investors seeking to diversify or hedge against other investments in their portfolio are often disappointed as the increased HFT creates a destabilizing effect on commodities (increasing volatility) and can often create bubbles. , Guest Post: What Is President Obama So Afraid Of? Quietly, and with little fanfare, President Obama signed a “National Defense Resources Preparedness” Executive Order on Friday. As the name suggests, the order intends to shore up the country’s national defense resources in advance of a national emergency. To be fair, this is not the first time that such an order has been written. President Obama’s order, however, takes things much, much further.This is all playing out with nearly perfect historical precision. Time and time again throughout history as once great empires accelerated their declines, governments have taken steps to protect their interests against the people. In the past, they have imposed curfews, disarmed the population, curtailed civil liberties, and declared national emergencies, usually against some great faceless enemy from abroad who threatens their way of life. As it turns out, though, our great faceless enemy is not some mythical boogeyman living in a cave, nor some angry brown person who hates us for our freedoms… but the very people within the system who’ve taken an oath to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ Have you hit your breaking point yet? Two Charts On Why The LTRO Is A 'Real' Failure Guest Post: The One Chart That Says It AllDepending on debt to fuel nominal growth leads to an economic death spiral. Sometimes one chart says it all. Charted against consumer credit, the S&P 500 (SPX) collapsed after the 2000 dot-com bubble burst and has been tracing out a descending channel since then. The Fed's injections of liquidity via trillion-dollar purchases of toxic mortgages and Treasury bonds does not funnel money into productive investments--all it accomplished was to further incentivize speculative churning and financialization to enriched the few at the expense of the many. So sit back, tighten your seatbelts and enjoy the death spiral ride, brought to you by the Federal Reserve and your elected servants of the financial Elite. , Home Prices Miss Large On 9th Consecutive Downward RevisionIt will come as no surprise to many that the warm-weather-induced ebullience and renaissance in the US housing market is perhaps floundering as all that demand was dragged forward. Today's notable miss in the FHFA Home Price Index (at unch vs an expectation of +0.3%) is ugly but the huge downward revision from +0.7% to merely +0.1% in the previous month is now the ninth consecutive notable downward revision.Add to that the fact that FreddieMac just reported mortgage rate cracking over 4% (from 3.92% to 4.08%) and the ugly data on MBA applications and...well at least we're decoupling. , Art Cashin Takes On Critics Of His Seasonal Adjustment SeasoningWe have covered the topic of BLS seasonal adjustment to death and beyond, as well as the endless expansion of those dropping out like flies from the labor pool (did those not in the US labor force, one way or another, whether due to mistracking, statistical aberrations, or outright data manipulation, increase by 1.2 million in January? It did? Next question... or does the government now desperately need an apologist for its own upwardly biased data 'mismanagement'?). Yet some of the formerly relevant elements at the less than cutting edge of asset management-cum-blogging decided to call out Art Cashin for daring to point out just this glaringly obvious seasonal adjustment issue. Of course, Art does not need us rushing to his defense. He can do a good enough job on his own. , Initial Claims Beat Expectations, To Miss Next Week Following RevisionSame old, same old from the BLS: with initial claims expected to print at 350K, we get a number that is just better, or 348K - supposedly the best since February 2008, however one which will be revised to about 351K next week, hence a miss, in line with the perpetual +3K upward statistical bias each and every week demonstrated by the BLS, which is no longer even funny. To be sure, last week's 351K was just raised to 353K, just so that headlines can announce a 5K drop in claims week over week. Continuing claims printed at 3.352MM, down from an upward revised 3.361MM. And yes, initial claims are lowest since February 2008... Until one adds the continuing claims, EUCs and Extended Claims as seen in the chart below. The 99 week cliff saw a total of 18K drop from total rolls: these are now 1MM lower compared to a year ago, Europe's 'Success Story' Double Dips: Irish Economy Re-Contracts, As PredictedRemember Europe's so-called success story - Ireland? Time to scratch it off the list, as the "best performing" PIIG, and "peripheral reform" wunderkind, just reminded everyone that the only true success story in Europe is that other I country - Iceland, after its fourth quarter GDP unexpectedly dropped 0.2%, well below consensus estimates of a 1.0% GDP boost. Odd - recall that back in October, following the announcement that Greece would be allowed to extract a bondholder haircut, initially at 50% and ultimately at 78.5%, we said that "this means that Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy will promptly commence sabotaging their economies (just like Greece) simply to get the same debt Blue Light special as Greece." Looks like Ireland is well on its way to doing just that, and the GDP slide is actually not all that surprising. Next: prepare for more "surprising" GDP misses from Portugal, Spain and, of course, Italy. , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CHINA THROWS BULLS A CURVE 3-22-12  China’s PMI declined to 48.1 vs 49.6 indicating a much sharper contraction that “soft landing” proponents believed. This created a ripple effect throughout global markets. Retail Sales in the U.K. were also poor (-.8% vs -.5% expected) which also included energy. Even Canada’s Retail Sales (.5% but ex-auto declined .5%) which missed expectations. Back in the eurozone old fears (debt and economic contraction) bubbled again to the surface driving markets there lower.In the U.S. Jobless Claims (348K vs 350 expected & another revision higher for prior 352K) allowed for a minor beat and some overhyped headlines. FHFA House Price Index came in absolutely flat which shouldn’t surprise given the inventory overhang. Leading Indicators (LEI) were higher (.7% vs .6% expected & prior revised lower to .2%) [Thanks to contrived bubble stock market weighting/bootstrap]. Together, not so bad, but U.S. markets can’t take a solo walk higher given high levels of global integration and correlation.Bonds rallied as stocks, gold, the euro, oil and most commodities sold-off as bullish sentiments about economic growth take a holiday.

HSBC/Markit Flash manufacturing PMI fell to a 4-month low of 48.1 in Mar, tempering expectations that China will experience a “soft landing”. Given China’s voracious appetite for commodities, heightened growth risks tend to weigh on the complex. While gold is unquestionably seen more as money in China, rather than a commodity, lower commodity prices diminish inflation expectations and therefore the yellow metal’s appeal as a hedge.Recent PMI data also suggests Europe has fallen back into recession.


‘Is America on the verge of a horrible municipal debt crisis?  Unfortunately, the answer is yes.  From coast to coast there are an increasing number of cities, towns and counties that are rapidly going broke.  Financial analyst Meredith Whitney took a lot of heat when her prediction of a municipal bond crash in 2011 did not happen, but she was not fundamentally wrong in her analysis.  A horrifying municipal debt crisis
is starting to unfold right in front of our eyes.  It just did not happen as soon as she thought that it would.  When most Americans think of our "debt problem", they think of the federal government.  But the truth is that we have hundreds and hundreds of smaller "debt problems" all across the country.  In 2012, cities such as Stockton, California and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania have already defaulted and a whole bunch of other cities and towns are headed down the exact same path…, Waking Up To A Third Consecutive False Dawn For Stocks With Charles BidermanIt appears we are, as a nation of desperately consuming investors, becoming increasingly cognitively dissonant. Charles Biderman, of TrimTabs, leaves the ominous clouds of the Bay Area for New York City and addresses our seemingly Pavlovian response for the third year in a row to a rising stock market (flooded with portfolio-rebalancing duration-destroying Central Bank money) as evidence that the real economy must be doing great. Of course, relying on tried and true facts such as real job growth and real wage growth and understanding the seasonally-abused-adjusted housing data realities, Biderman notes that the only money driving stocks up is corporate buybacks dominating selling pressure. While modestly bullish on these flows, he is growing more anxious. He sees insider selling surging (from 5:1 January to 14:1 February to 35:1 in March), there has been no new 'cash-takeovers' announced this month compared to $15bn per month last year, and the IPO pipeline is ramping up fast (supply will dominate demand) as the end of Operation Twist approaches removing yet another prop to the perceived reality of stocks. , Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate.

The bank on Feb. 1 reorganized its U.S. subsidiary, known as Taunus Corp., so that it is no longer classified as a 'bank-holding company' (BHC). The technical change has important consequences. Taunus—which at the end of last year had about $354 billion of assets and 8,652 employees, making it one of the largest U.S. banking companies—won't have to comply with a provision of the U.S. Dodd-Frank regulatory-overhaul law that essentially forces the local arms of non-U.S. banks to meet the same capital requirements that American banks fact… So much for all that systemic risk control and lessons learned as hey-presto - everything is sidestepped as the farce continues. , Futures Exhibit Peculiar Ungreen Color On 5th Consecutive Month Of Chinese PMI Contraction1001 Moonless Kinetic Nights: Presenting The Windows Of Opportunity For An Iranian Attack Following last Friday's majority vote by the Israel Security Council authorizing Iranian "action" when required, answering the "if", the only open question remains "when."

, Bernanke Goes Back to School to Perform Public Propaganda Service The Wall Street Journal , The Rising Price Of the Falling Dollar Mar 20th, 2012 by News [ greenspan and now bernanke are incompetent and total failures creating and exacerbating current and prospective conditions for the sake of fraudulent wall street at everyone else’s expense! ] (Forbes) — Do you know why oil and prices are moving sharply higher? Some blame the oil companies, charging they are manipulating prices. Others cite U.S. sanctions on Iran and the threat of a military encounter that would disrupt the flow of oil from the Middle East.Speculators, too are blamed for ostensibly bidding up the price of oil. In the political arena, President Obama is taking credit for increased domestic oil production even as his critics point out the slow pace of drilling permits issued by his Administration soon will hamper additional increases in the U.S. oil production.Yet, the basic reason for higher energy prices is being overlooked, even though it is right before our eyes: Oil prices are up because the value of the dollar is down. Our common sense hides this source of higher prices because we view the dollar as fixed, and prices as moving. News reports explain the sharp rise in consumer prices in February were caused by higher energy and food prices, implying that higher prices cause inflation. Of course, higher prices do not cause inflation. Higher prices are inflation… , $4 Gas Average Is HereBased on Bloomberg's US Average Gasoline price index, we are now back above $4 per gallon for the first time since May 2011.

Infographic: Reevaluating The Costs And Benefits Of (Debt Bubble-Funded) Higher EducationWhile the college debt bubble has been extensively discussed on Zero Hedge (here, here and here) and elsewhere, the reality is that without college student loans, as cheap as they may be, the vast majority of students would not be able to afford going to college, untenable (and non-dischargeable) post-graduation leverage be damned. Please ignore for a second the reflexivity of this symbiotic relationship - that college is so expensive only because college debt is so easily obtainable (and as noted here, between car loans and student debt, is the primary source of consumer debt in the past year)... , To Bail Or Not To Bail: A Simple Question Of Math; And Why Taxpayers Will Be On The Hook Until The EndWhen it comes to rescuing an insolvent country, continent, or entire financial system, at the end of the day it is a simple question of maths: is "doing it" cheaper than the alternative. Recall that the IIF was heaping fire and brimstone on bondholders and threatening the world with $1+ trillion in losses if bondholders did not comply. That nobody has any clue just what said costs, and opportunity costs, are, does not matter: the status quo must be preserved at all costs. And the status quo is one of avoiding private losses at the expense of taxpayer capital. Enter Credit Suisse with its back of the envelope analysis of the cost of not bailing out Europe's insolvent PIIGS, and the (taxpayer) cost to "save" them. , ABC Reports Russian Troops Have Arrived In Syria, Russia DeniesEarlier today, Al Arabiya made waves in the energy market following reports that a Russian ship carrying special forces had arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus, previously demonstrated here to be a key strategic asset in the Mediterranean. This news was promptly denied by RIA, which said that "there were no Russian military ships off Syria coast" and that the Iman ship is a tanker which is merely conducting resource support functions. Furthermore, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the crew of Iman consists solely of "civilian personnel, which is being guarded." That may or may not be the case, but has not stopped ABC from blasting, minutes ago, a headline that "Russian anti-terror troops arrive in Syria" a development that a "United Nations Security Council source told ABC News was "a bomb" certain to have serious repercussions." Which begs the question: is everyone now dead set on having war in Syria, and by proxy, Iran? , Apple Closes Over $600 As Trading Volume Collapses Again"Whocouldanode?" that Apple would do something like pay a de minimus dividend and begin a modest buyback program? Indeed, initial reactions for the stock seemed to be 'sell the news' but of course, it wouldn't be a day ending in 'y' if Apple didn't close green and sure enough, with seconds to spare, Apple managed to close over $600 for the first time. , Based On This Chart, Can Saudi Arabia Bail Out The US Motorist From $5 Gas?No conclusions here, just a simple chart showing monthly Saudi Arabia crude oil production based on OPEC data, which has been rangebound in a tight 8,000 - 9750 tb/d range, superimposed with Brent prices over the past decade. The last time Brent soared to record highs back in the summer of 2008, Saudi production peaked at 9,522 tb/d (despite similar promises for spikes in crude production and exports). During last spring's spike, Saudi produced around 9,000 tb/d. In the past two months, production has been at record highs, even as oil keeps setting new highs, entirely due to liquidity, but not because speculators are evil incarnate as Nancy Pelosi will want her brainwashed fans to believe, but simply because for the most part they are Primary Dealers, and other entities attached at the hip to the Fed, who serve as Ben Bernanke's transmission mechanism of record liquidity being dumped into the system. Our advice: if anyone is hoping that Saudi Arabia can pump the 12,500 tb/d needed if Iran truly goes offline, buy a bike, as failure from Saudi to satisfy lofty demands will promptly send unleaded to new all time highs. Couple that with the Treasury debt ceiling fiasco in 5-6 months, and those Obama InTrade reelection contracts may seem a tad rich. , RIP Housing? The Trade Off To Rising RatesIt is no surprise, given the baying for blood from bond bears, that mortgage rates will come under close scrutiny - especially given the supposed reasoning for much of the various LSAPs has been to keep rates low to 'aid' homeowners (as opposed to flush nominal prices to the moon in every risk asset based on the risk premia-reducing duration-crushing portfolio-rebalancing effect). The effects on various asset classes from the announcement and inception of Operation Twist have been varied with Equities (and until the last month high-yield credit) benefiting the most (nominally). , SKEWered While stocks are surging in nominal terms, the options markets are increasingly pricing in greater and greater downside risk concerns. Currently, we are at record levels for this so-called Skew (meaning the price of downside protection outweighs the cost of upside protection by the most ever). Trade accordingly. , "This Time It's Different?" - David Rosenberg Explains The Melt Up And The Latent RisksThe market is ripping. That much is obvious. What some may have forgotten however, is that it ripped in the beginning of 2011... and in the beginning of 2010: in other words, what we are getting is not just deja vu (all on the back of massive central bank intervention time after time), but double deja vu. The end results, however, by year end in both those cases was less than spectacular. In fact, in an attempt to convince readers that this time it is different, Reuters came out yesterday with an article titled, you guessed it, "This Time It's Different" which contains the following verbiage: "bursts of optimism have sown false hope before... Today there is a cautious hope that perhaps this time it's different." (this article was penned by the inhouse spin master, Stella Dawson, who had a rather prominent appearance here.) So the trillions in excess electronic liquidity provided by everyone but the Fed (constrained in an election year) is different than the liquidity provided by the Fed? Got it. Of course, there are those who will bite, and buy the propaganda, and stocks. For everyone else, here is a rundown from David Rosenberg explaining why stocks continue to move near-vertically higher, and what the latent risks continue to be. , Do High Yield Bonds Know Something Stocks Don't?As the S&P 500 reaches new multi-year highs and VIX touches multi-year lows, there is one rather large and risk-appetite-proxying market out there that is not as excited. The high-yield bond market has seen record in-flows dropping off recently and for the last four-to-six weeks high-yield spreads, yields, and bond prices have been very flat as stocks have surged ahead. Despite US earnings yields at near-record highs relative to high-yield bond yields, we see little pick-up in LBO chatter suggesting a notable preference for higher-quality junk credit (and/or lack of belief in sustainability of earnings yields) and the recent 'dramatic' outperformance in investment grade credit is a notable up-in-quality rotation (as well as early spread-compression reaction to Treasury weakness recently) that strongly suggests less risk appetite among real money managers (given how 'cheap' high-yield appears across asset classes). Lastly, the ratio of HY bond prices to VIX is near its extreme once again, something we saw occur before the risk flares of 2010 and 2011 surrounding the end of the Fed's QE sessions. , Guest Post: How To Cripple The Real Estate Market In Five Easy StepsIf you were head of Central Planning (howdy, Ben!) and were tasked with crippling the real estate market, here's what you would recommend. #1 Choke the market and banking sector with zombie banks. #2 Have the central bank (the Federal Reserve) buy up $1 trillion in toxic, impaired mortgages. #3 Lower the rate that banks can borrow from the Fed to zero, and then pay the banks interest on all funds deposited at the Fed. #4 Try to prop up the housing market by giving poor credit risk buyers loans with only 3% down. #5 Load young people up with the equivalent of a mortgage in student loans. OK,let's see how our Organs of Central Planning are doing: check, check, check, check, check: a perfect score! , Operation Twist Is Coming To An End: A Preview Of The Market ResponseAs macro data trends deteriorate and Dudley demurs, it is becoming increasingly clear that the risks for the US equity market are skewed to the downside as we head towards the end of Operation Twist (and seasonal factors subside). The Fed's 'upgrade' from modest to moderate growth certainly spooked Gold and Treasuries and saw small caps notably underperform but given historical precedence, if Operation Twist ends without a new program beginning, investors will likely expect a drop in equities (broadly) of 8-10% (which coincides with the QE1 and QE2 ends as well as the 1983, 1994, and 2003 normalizations in policy). Reiterating our recent theme, in order to avoid the end of Operation Twist, the Fed's economic outlook would need to deteriorate - which itself is a scenario likely to result in falling stock prices and just as the cause of a 'crash' in PCE towards the end of QE1 and QE2 was a function of higher inflation, we have the current spike in energy prices to ensure this time is no different. , Macro Data Weakening On Seasonal UnwindsMuch has been made of the positive impact that seasonal adjustments have made to the crop of supposedly better than expected macro prints that remain anecdotal evidence of why the S&P 500 is trading above 1400 again. Unfortunately the pleasant after-glow of a time-series-based adjustment that has become increasingly unstable and hard to justify post-crisis is starting to fade. Morgan Stanley's Business Condition Index dropped a very significant 5 points in March to 51%. Just as pointed out here (in Bernanke's scariest chart) the seasonal factors are almost entirely responsible as the trend of recent data is just not meeting expectations (both in analyst and market perceptions). Under the surface, things are a little gloomier also as their Hiring Plans Index dropped for the first time in six months and the business conditions expectations plummeted 11 points to 57% in March. Given this (leading) data, is it any wonder MS believes QE3 is inevitable and imminent? Though as we have noted again and again, until the market starts to get the sad joke that unless market momentum chasers start to defect from the current strategy, we suspect the impact of QE3 (if it comes) will be far more muted (in stocks) than the previous acts of exuberance by the Fed (and their buddies) - as implicitly the cost of the much-higher-than-normal strike price of Bernanke's put means ever-increasing QE needs to counter underlying weakness/perception.  , Dallas Fed's Fisher Exhibits Peak Cognitive Dissonance And Self-DelusionFor today's definitive example of peak cognitive dissonance and self-delusion among those who determine the monetary fate of the world no less, look no further than the Dallas Fed's Dick Fisher, who just said the following according to Reuters: *No one presently believes that the Fed is going to proceed with QE3 Funny considering earlier, we got this from Goldman's Bill Dudley: *No decision yet on QE3, New York Fed's Dudley says And that is why central planning always fails. Because a room of these terminally confused people sits down and determines the fate of the world based on their naive academic interpretation of what they perceive is reality. , Apple Announces $10 Billion Share Repurchase Program, $2.65 Quarterly Dividend, Plans To Spend $45 Billion Over 3 YearsAnd so Steve Jobs legacy is now gone as Apple goes Jamie Dimon.

The Fed Isn’t Providing “Monetary Morphine”; It’s Spreading Financial Cancer That is Killing the Markets and Democratic Capitalism in General March 16, 2012 By gpc1981 http://gainspainscapital.comWhile the vast majority of commentators look at the market action of the last three months and celebrate, I cannot help but shudder. The reason is that the stock market has been propped up solely by Central Bank and/or Federal Government intervention or the hope of more intervention.That alone is worrisome as it indicates the stock market no longer cares for economic or financial fundamentals (something that has been clear for several years now).However, far more worrisome is fact that the Fed and Federal Government are now not only propping up stock prices, but are openly trying to crush other assets (especially politically dangerous commodities such as oil and gasoline) in an attempt to make it appear that inflation is under control.Consider the following: #1)   The sudden talk of “sterilized QE” or QE that won’t involve more money printing (read: There is No Such Thing as Sterilized QE). #2)   The sudden and curious collapse in precious metals (right after Bernanke says QE 3 isn’t coming anytime soon… only for the Fed to leak the “sterilized QE” talk a week after Gold and Silver collapse). #3)   The Government’s decision to unlock our Strategic Petroleum Reserves again (crushing gas prices which were the primary inflationary concern of the Obama administration) #4)   Those Wall Streeters close to the Fed (Goldman’s Jan Hatzius) predicting “sterilized QE” coming in April or June ALL OF THESE MOVES HAVE TWO GOALS:  #1)   Propping up stocks #2)   Crushing those commodities/ assets that are politically (and economically) dangerous (gasoline, food prices). The take away point that I’m trying to make here is that we’re now at the point of intervention in which the Fed is openly managing the markets right down to specific asset classes.Never in history has Central Planning gone well for either the markets or the economy. Wall Street and the mainstream media may cheer that stocks are up and inflation “transitory” (despite clear evidence that the latter point is false: the bond market indicates real inflation to be around 10%). However, I for one am truly terrified by what I see occurring in the markets…’ , The Crazy Things That One Whistleblower Says Are Happening At JP Morgan Will Blow Your Mind  http://albertpeia.com/crazythingshappeningatjpmorgan.htm , Train Reading: Muppet, Vampire Squid & Other Name Calling on Wall Street The Wall Street Journal  By Steven Russolillo [ And, where might you fit into wall street’s ship of fools; or, more pointedly, whose fool are you?

Although "record" and "US debt" in the same sentence is now redundant. So just debt. (source) *$8.354 billion. This is how much net US tax revenues (net of refunds of course) are lower in fiscal 2012 to date compared to the same period in 2011. In this Bizarro world, economic recovery is apparently based on weaker numbers (source). , Brent At $126 As Israel Security Cabinet Votes 8 To 6 To Attack IranGuest Post: Caution - Falling CurrenciesEventually, people will discover that they cannot save in terms of dollars (those who don’t figure it out will be rendered economically irrelevant as their wealth is removed from their hands). Savings is a necessary prerequisite for investment. Investment is necessary for companies to grow, to develop new technologies, products, and markets. Growth is necessary to hire new workers. As existing companies achieve higher productivity of labor, and do not need as many workers to perform the same work, they lay off unneeded people. In a free market, the unemployed would quickly be hired by growing companies that expand and develop new businesses. But today’s structurally high unemployment can be traced back to Friedman’s quack prescription (among other government interference). Weakening the currency not only discourages savings, it also weakens businesses who have to keep the currency on their balance sheet and who have to import some of their inputs. When a currency loses value, then all who hold it incur a loss. It is not possible to employ workers and run a business in a country without holding significant amounts of its currency. Currency debasement therefore imposes constant losses on enterprises that try to operate in such an environment. , Guest Post: Lost Principles And Social DestructionAmerica has so strayed from its founding roots that it now hungers; starving for lack of nutrients from its natural soil.  As with all other catastrophic societies of the past, we have been manipulated and conned into overlooking and over-rationalizing astonishing injustice and in some cases, unmitigated evil.  I frankly don’t know what else to call it.  There are some acts of malevolence that go beyond human weakness and inadequacy and reach into realms of calculation that are so cold, so soulless, there is simply no other way to describe them.  These actions and attitudes tend to run rampant in dying nations but are rarely singled out and criticized by those in the midst of the great fall.  Each begins with the loss of particular principles and inherent morals that are normally prized under more healthy circumstances, but are despised in times of chaos and uncertainty…’ , Inflation Even in the Cost of Corruption  : testosteronepit : 03/16/12 Much harder to measure than inflation in the cost of gasoline, but finally, Germany has a way.... ,A Friendly Reminder on the VIX : CrownThomas : 03/16/12Retirement... off? ,FaTHeR MoRAL HaZARD On THE SHIP oF FRaUD : williambanzai7 : 03/16/12 Thank you Ben Shalom Bernanke for being the singular pompous PhD idiot who can take the yeoman's credit for navigating this entire golbal ship of financial farce into the sargasso sea of pinstriped... , Industrial Production Misses, Capacity Utilization Declines For First Time Since April 2011The Fool's Game: Unravelling Europe's Epic Ponzi Pyramid Of LiesNow in the curious world we live in today; this only came out in public as the answer to a question raised in the German Parliament. Some reflection on the nature of these guarantees, that the European Union had decided not to tell us about, causes me to think of them as “Ponzi Bonds.” These are the seeds of a great scheme that has been foisted upon us. Bonds of a feather that have flocked together and arrived with the black swans one quiet Wednesday afternoon. The quoted and much ballyhooed sovereign debt numbers are now known to be no longer accurate and hence the lack of credibility of the debt to GDP data for the European nations. Stated more simply; none of the data that we are given about sovereign debt in the European Union is the truth, none of it. According to Eurostat, as an example, the consolidated Spanish debt raises their debt to GDP by 12.3% as Eurostat also states, and I quote, that guaranteed debt in Europe “DO NOT FORM PART OF GOVERNMENT DEBT, BUT ARE A CONTINGENT LIABILITY.” In other words; not counted and so, my friends, none of the data pushed out by Europe about their sovereign debt or their GDP ratios has one whit of truth resident in the data.  , The Schrodinger Inflation: Ignore All Time High March Gas Prices, BLS Tells You Inflation Is Lower Than ExpectedJust spent a record high amount at the gas pump for this time of year?

The just printed headline CPI came at 0.4%, just in line with expectations of 0.4%, while core CPI of 0.2%, missed expectations of 0.3%. That's right: not only is inflation meaningless, it is less than expected, leading to surge higher in stocks, bonds and the EURUSD.

The mythical part is the presumption of rationality accorded the ‘market-makers’ which, despite their glaring irrationality and propensity for fraud (I’d conservatively say that wall street is comprised predominantly, I’d estimate 90%, of psycho/sociopathic personalities), is still decidedly and pathetically vis-à-vis the rest of the ‘go along to get along’ world, criminally insane wall street. , 80 Percent Of Americans Say That They Are Not Better Off Than They Were Four Years Ago   http://albertpeia.com/80percentamericaworsethan4yearsago.htm , Doomsday Survey: 51% of Americans Believe a Financial Collapse Is Imminent Mac Slavo | Most of us believe a doomsday scenario of some kind will occur in the next twenty five years. , Philly Fed Is Out With Latest "Schrodinger" Economy PrintRemember when the Chinese PMI posted both a contraction an expansion for the month of March, with Markit showing a sub-50 contractionary print, while the Chinese version showed 51, or expansion, in other words China was both stagnating and growing at the same time, merely the latest indication of our modern day Schrodinger-ness macro insanity? Well, we just got the US version of this Heisenberg Economic Uncertainty principle, when as part of the just released Philly Fed index (which also printed better than expected despite a drop in New Orders and Shipments), we saw Priced Paid.... tumble from 38.7 to 18.7!!?? Why the surprise? Because 90 minutes prior to this, we just got The New York Fed telling the world that prices paid in fact soared by virtually the highest amount in real terms on record! In other words, in New York survey respondents are experiencing soaring inflation, while 90 miles Southwest, manufacturing firms were awash in deflation. Do they even try to manipulate the data anymore?  , Terminated CBO Whistleblower Shares Her Full Story With Zero Hedge, Exposes Deep Conflicts At "Impartial" Budget OfficeEarlier today, we suggested that in the aftermath of the Greg "Muppets" Smith NYT OpEd, contrary to assumptions by Jim Cramer, a bevy of potential whistleblowers would step up to tell their tale of fraud and corruption across all walks of life - from Wall Street to, far more importantly, Washington, consequences be damned. This was paralleled by an alleged JPM whisteblower describing to the CFTC the firm's supposedly illegal activities in the precious metals space , Jamie Dimon Warns Employees To Stay Mum On Muppetgate , From One Ex-Goldmanite To Another: Nomi Prins Statement On Greg Smith's ResignationI applaud Smith's decision to bring the nature of Goldman's profit-making strategies to the forefront of the global population's discourse, as so many others have been doing through books, investigative journalism, and the Occupy movements over the past decade since my book, Other People's Money, was written after I resigned from Goldman. It would be great if Smith's illuminations would serve as the turning point around which serious examination and re-regulation of the banking system framework would transpire. , As Whistleblowing Becomes The Most Profitable Financial 'Industry', Many More 'Greg Smiths' Are ComingMinutes ago on CNBC, Jim Cramer announced that Greg Smith will never get a job on Wall Street again as "one never goes to the press. Ever." Naturally, the assumption is that the secrets of Wall Street's dirty clothing are supposed to stay inside the family, or else one may wake up with a horsehead in their bed. There is one small problem with that. Now that compensations on Wall Street have plunged, and terminations are set for the biggest spike since the Lehman collapse, the opportunity cost to defect from the club has also collapsed. And if anything, Greg Smith's NYT OpEd has shown that it is not only ok to go to the press, but is in fact cool. So what happens next? Well, as the following Reuters article reports, 'whistleblowing' over corrupt and criminal practices on Wall Street is suddenly becoming the next growth industry.  , Charting The Legacy Of The Baby BoomersWhile it is difficult to properly attribute blame for the collapse of the US economy, which commenced in the early 1980s, on either the Fed's policy of easy money starting with Alan Greenspan (and terminating with today's statement by Goldman that merely a suggestion of "not easing" may be equivalent to "tightening" - a symptom of a terminal junkie), or the resultant self-indulgent lifestyle of the maturing baby boomers, one thing is certain: the paradigm downturn of the United States began in the early 1980s. And here we are willing to break the cardinal rule of statistics and assume that correlation does imply causation. Because the 4 simple charts below don't lie: the US economy, as represented by its Balance of Payments, the profligacy of the US consumer, the massive expansion of consumer leverage, and the collapse in US manufacturing jobs, and specifically its current near-terminal state, is as much as legacy of the baby boom generation's actions (and lack thereof), as of everything else that has already been mulled over and scapegoated an infinite number of times in both the mainstream and fringe media. , Muppet-Gate Meets Blank-BergIn one of the strangest headlines from Bloomberg today, MuppetGate takes on a new life...*MAYOR BLOOMBERG MEETS WITH GOLDMAN EMPLOYEES AFTER SMITH OP-ED , Guest Post: Gridlock In DCThe first session of this 112th Congress was spent with Democrats and Republicans at loggerheads over the debt ceiling, taxes, spending cuts, the deficit super committee, appropriations bills and finally the extension of unemployment compensation and a two-month extension of the payroll tax cut. Standard and Poor's downgrade of the United States' federal debt was due in part to all the haggling over how, and actually whether, to reduce the debt. No One Is Willing to Pay the Political Price to Cut Spending This year Obama asked Congress for, and was given, an additional $1.2 trillion of borrowing authority, which will increase the debt limit to $16.4 trillion, just enough to get him past the 2012 election. It could be close, however. If budget projections prove to be overly optimistic, Obama could face another cliffhanger over a further increase in the debt ceiling in the midst of the presidential election in November. How embarrassing to have to say "re-elect me – and by the way, I need to borrow some more money to pay this month's bills." , The Iceland Financial Renaissance Miracle Continues Here Is Why Everything Is Up Today - From Goldman: "Expect The New QE As Soon As April"Confused why every asset class is up again today (yes, even gold), despite the pundit interpretation by the media of the FOMC statement that the Fed has halted more easing? Simple - as we said yesterday, there is $3.6 trillion more in QE coming. But while we are too humble to take credit for moving something as idiotic as the market, the fact that just today, none other than Goldman Sachs' Jan Hatzius came out, roughly at the same time as its call to buy Russell 2000, and said that the Fed would announce THE NEW QETM, as soon as next month, and as late as June. Furthermore, as Goldman has previously explained, sterilization of QE makes absolutely no difference on risk asset behavior, and it is a certainty that the $500-$750 billion in new money (well on its way to fulfilling our expectation of a total $3.6 trillion in more easing to come), in the form of UST and MBS purchases, will blow out all assets across all classes, while impaling the dollar. Which in turn explains all of today's action - dollar down, everything else (including bonds, which Goldman said yesterday to sell which we correctly, at least for now, said was the bottom in rates) up. Finally, as we said, yesterday, "In conclusion we wish to say - thank you Chairman for the firesale in physical precious metals." Because when the market finally understands what is happening, despite all the relentless smoke and mirrors whose only goal is to avoid a surge in crude like a few weeks ago ahead of the presidential election, gold will be far, far higher. Yet for some truly high humor, here is the justification for why the Fed will need to do more QE, even though Goldman itself has been expounding on the improving economy: "The improvement might not last." In other words, unless the "economic improvement" is guaranteed in perpetuity, the Fed will always ease. Thank you central planning - because of you we no longer have to worry about either mean reversion or a business cycle. , Obama Aide Refutes Report On SPR ReleaseWe thought it was getting stupid one post ago., It's Official - US, UK To Release Strategic Oil StocksThe Big Fat Greek Lie Is Now Obvious to Spain… So Who’s Next to Default?

If this 'last chance' is wasted an attack will happen in months as diplomats noted that the probability of an Israel/US attack on Iran is now a specific 'when' instead of an indefinite 'if'. The sentiment is best summarized by a quote from inside the meeting "The invasion will happen before year’s end. The Israelis are de facto blackmailing Obama. They’ve put him in this interesting position – either he supports the war or loses the support of the Jewish lobby".

Vote Here (No!)At this point it is safe to say that the world has far greater issues than simple trade scalping and a broken market structure courtesy of the few robotic algorithms that still trade, even compared to three years ago. Back then it was far less obvious that the global ponzi was on the edge every day, and that only coordinated efforts such as today's one-two punch by Jamie Dimon and his subordinates at the FRBNY could mask the fact that the stress test was never actually needed, as any time banks suffer a 20% drop the Fed would simply proceed to the New QE (pass go, and give the $200 direct to the banks). And yet, years after the flash crash, pervasive central planning notwithstanding, the High Freaks are still around, subpennying, stub quoting, channel stuffing and otherwise making a total mockery of the retail investor (at least the one who is dumb enough to put in a limit order and not split up a big order into many tiny ones). Which is simply stunning - by now, even if reading just a fraction of the hundreds of posts on the topic on this site alone of which this one may be the most encompassing, one would think that everyone, and that even includes the SEC, would be well aware of the (borderline) criminal, and certainly liquidity destroying (although volume spiking via churn), product that is High Frequency Trading. Apparently not. , Is This The Chart Of A Broken Inflation Transmission Mechanism? Sean Corrigan presents an interesting chart for everyone who still believes that, contrary to millennia of evidence otherwise, money is not fungible. Such as the Lerry Meyers of the world, who in a CNBC interview earlier said the following: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, you think he doesn't have the right model of inflation, he would allow hyperinflation. Not a prayer. Not a prayer.  If you wanted to forecast inflation three or four years out and you don't have it close to 2%, I don't know why. Balance sheet, no impact. Level of reserves, no impact, so you have a different model of inflation, hey, you like the hawk on the committee, you got good company." (coupled with a stunning pronouncement by Steve Liesman: "I think the Fed is going to be dead wrong on inflation. I think inflation is going up." - yes, quite curious for a man who for the longest time has been arguing just the opposite: 5 minutes into the clip). ,  Japan's Shocking Keynesian Slip: "We Are Worse Than Greece" In a stunning turn of events, a Japanese Ministry of Finance official admits to Richard Koo's worst nightmare "Japan is fiscally worse than Greece". Bloomberg is reporting that, at a conference in Tokyo, Yasushi Kinoshita says Japan's 2011 fiscal deficit was up to 10% of GDP and its debt-to-GDP has soared to over 230%. What is more concerning is the Kyle-Bass- / Hugh-Hendry-recognized concentration risk that Kinoshita admits to also - with a large amount of JGBs held domestically, the Japanese financial system is much more vulnerable to fiscal shocks (cough energy price cough) than Europe. Of course, the market is catatonic in its reaction to this - mesmerized by the possibility of buybacks and hypnotized at big-banks-passing-stress-tests - though we do note the small reverse stronger in USDJPY has reversed as this news broke and the USD pushes modestly higher. , Four Big 'Troubles' In Little ChinaWhile not quite as dramatic as Kim Cattrall in a cheongsam, the recent group-think of 'heads bulls win, tails bears lose" on the back of seemingly ever-rising strike prices on central bankers implied-puts is becoming crescendo-like. Nowhere is this more evident in China currently, as the world views every inflation, growth, and lending print as either positive because of more stimulation or positive because of global growth. Of course all of this ignores the 'trap' that is/has already sprung in Japan (ZIRP, deflation, and zombification), US (ZIRP, addiction, and energy prices), and Europe (print, subordinate, and alienate foreign bond purchasers) and the care with which even insane printers must tread for fear of upsetting the world economy. Tonight we hear from China's Premier Wen that, via Bloomberg, China seeks to establish social democracy and much to Chuck Schumer's chagrin we pre-suppose, that the Yuan is close to equilibrium levels. Furthermore the veiled threat that China-US cooperation is better than confrontation, which brings us to four charts we found interesting in their potential to upset the euphoria of a global race-to-the-bottom which apparently makes US stocks invincible. , Why Are Millions Of Americans Preparing For Doomsday? http://albertpeia.com/preparingfordoomsday.htm

There’s little to comment regarding Monday’s market action. Investors have absorbed the Greek default (by any other name, it’s still a default) for now anyway. And, not that you care, but new Greek bonds issued to those lucky private holders are already being heavily discounted. In fact, as issued the yields were already steep at 18% but they’ve already dropped to yield roughly 25%.

In the U.S., as in Europe, at present, this means consistent negative real interest rates (yielding less than the rate of inflation) that are equivalent to a tax on bondholders and, more generally, savers. , China Trade Deficit Spurs Concern Mar 12th, 2012 , Greek bonds trade at distressed levels Mar 12th, 2012 , Is Germany Actually Preparing To Leave The Euro? http://albertpeia.com/isgermanyleavingeuro.htm , Half of British Black Men Are Unemployed [ Yet, this is totally understandable. ]The Independent | ,Welfare recipients trade in food stamps for cash to buy illicit street drugs, weapons Natural News | Some of the 46.3 million Americans currently enrolled in the federal food stamp program traded their benefits for cash so they could then purchase drugs and guns., GE’s Immelt: Global Economy In ‘New Era’ Of Instability wsj.com | Expects interest rates to stay low for an extended period. , U.S. Still Down 6 Million Jobs smartmoney.com | Damage to employment done by the Great Recession is still far from repaired., Gas prices sink Obama’s ratings on economy, bring parity to race for White House Washington Post | Disapproval of President Obama’s handling of the economy is heading higher — alongside gasoline prices., The Fed’s Manipulation Of The Market Is Driving TrimTabs’ Charles Biderman “Even More Nuts Than He Already Is” Zero Hedge | TrimTabs Charles Biderman made waves for being the first person on prime time financial TV to tell it how it is, namely that the Fed is indirectly and directly affecting asset prices. http://albertpeia.com/zerohedgebiderman.htm , Drudgereport: PAIN IN THE PUMP! 44 DOWN TO 41 Fed stress testing banks against 13% unemployment, 50% drop in stock market...

Frauds interlink and grow upon each other. Our debt-based money system serves as the fraud foundation. In our debt-based money system, debt must grow in order to create money. Therefore, there is no way to pay off aggregate debt with available money. More money must be lent into the system to make the payments for old debts. This causes overall debt to expand as new money for actual people (vs. banks) always arrives at interest and compounds exponentially. This process is called financialization. Financialization: The process of making money from nothing in which debt (i.e. poverty, lack) is paradoxically considered an asset (i.e. wealth, gain). In current financialized economies “wealth expansion” comes from the parasitic taxation of productivity in the form of interest on fiat lending. This interest over time consumes a greater and greater share of resources, assets, labor, and livelihood until nothing is left. , The Fed’s Manipulation Of The Market Is Driving TrimTabs’ Charles Biderman “Even More Nuts Than He Already Is” Zero Hedge    http://albertpeia.com/zerohedgebiderman.htm March 12, 2012 ‘..as we have demonstrated with the now terminal evacuation of faith by the retail investor in the gross manipulated stock “market” which is nothing but a nominal policy vehicle for politicians and bankers.

Sure enough, Goldman as usual, is the first to set the tone, by cutting its ultra real time GDP forecast from 2.0% to 1.8%. , The Part-Time Economy (Redux)While not shocking to most, the jump in temporary workers that we cited earlier is perhaps the biggest indicator of job 'quality' gains. As we discussed here last month, the US market economy remains mired in a low quality (“first-fired, first-hired categories rather than the type of core hiring that would build a stronger foundation for income growth,”  as FTN's Jim Vogel describes it) recovery. About 160k of private jobs added in Feb are 'low-paying work' which left average hourly earnings up only 0.1% (notes David Ader at CRT) - hardly the recipe for a sustainable recovery and perhaps the slow leak in stocks post the number is the rude awakening to that reality. As w enoted before, "not only is America slipping ever further into a state of permanent "temp job" status, but that a "quality analysis" of the jobs created shows that the US job formation machinery is badly hurt, and just like the marginal utility of debt now hitting a critical inflection point, so the "marginal utility" of incremental jobs is now negative" , US Trade Balance Worst In 39 Months With Largest 3 Month Drop In 20 YearsNFP Prints At 227K On Expectations Of 210,000, Unemployment Rate At 8.3% Boosted By Temp JobsImport surge sends China trade to decade-deep deficit  , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  STOCK RALLY FADES WITH CDS ISSUE 3-9-12  ‘The all-important Employment Report was positive beating estimates but was lower than previous reports (227K new jobs vs 210K expected & prior revised higher 284K: unemployment rate unchanged @ 8.3%).

In a statement this morning, which we noted in a tweet, the bank noted "activation of the CDS with an assumed loss ratio of about 80% would mean an additional provisioning charge of EUR 423.6 million". KA Finanz's total amount of Greek CDS exposure is around EUR1bn. What is shocking and should be of great concern is that we have been led to believe that very little net cash will change hands on the basis of the $3.2bn net aggregate market exposure. This was based on the now false premise that variation margin was maintained and transferred throughout the process (as we note below from recent IMF filings). What appears to have happened is that dealer to dealer variation margin has been, let's say, less rigorous as perhaps all collateral was netted up across all exposures (or simply ignored on the basis of government backstops). The far bigger question then is: are banks simply marking ALL sovereign CDS at par, and not paying off cash to other dealers? Remember it only takes one counterparty in the chain to turn net into gross and quality collateral seems tied up a little right now at the ECB (or with margin calls). , ISDA CDS Trigger Decision Is UnanimousIn light of today’s EMEA Determinations Committee (the EMEA DC) unanimous decision in respect of the potential Credit Event question relating to The Hellenic Republic (DC Issue 2012030901), the EMEA DC has agreed to publish the following statement:The EMEA DC resolved that a Restructuring Credit Event has occurred under Section 4.7 of the ISDA 2003 Credit Derivatives Definitions (as amended by the July 2009 Supplement) (the 2003 Definitions) following the exercise by The Hellenic Republic of collective action clauses to amend the terms of Greek law governed bonds issued by The Hellenic Republic (the Affected Bonds) such that the right of all holders of the Affected Bonds to receive payments has been reduced. The EMEA DC has resolved to hold an auction with respect to the settlement of standard credit default swaps for which The Hellenic Republic is the reference entity. To maximise the range of obligations that market participants may deliver in settlement of any such credit default swaps, the EMEA DC  has agreed to run an expedited auction process such that the auction itself will take place on March 19, 2012. In light of this expedited auction process, market participants should submit any obligations that they would like to include on the list of deliverable obligations to ISDA as soon as possible. , ISDA Finds Greek Credit Event Has Occurred Reports BloombergTotal confusion around this, as there is no formal Press Release from ISDA yet, but since this one comes from Bloomberg, let's assume they have double checked their data. From Bloomberg: *ISDA EMEA DETERMINATIONS COMMITTEE: RESTRUCTURING CREDIT EVENT *ISDA SAYS CREDIT EVENT HAS OCCURRED WITH RESPECT TO GREECE *COMMITTEE DETERMINES AUCTION TO BE HELD ON MARCH 19 *ISDA EMEA: AUCTION TO BE HELD ON OUTSTANDING CDS TRANSACTIONS  , Greece - Round III, In Which We Learn That Greek Debt Actually INCREASED Post-DefaultThe 18 Most Important Names For The Rally To Be Sustained  While everyone is focused on AAPL, or tech names, or energy sector growth, or multiple expansion as the driver of the next leg up in stocks, we take a slightly different tack. US equities are back above the highs of last year while US investment grade credit markets are still well below their best levels of last year. Until credit markets come along for the exuberant ride, and buy into the recovery/growth/no-tail-risk story we will not see a sustained rally (no matter how much fiat currency devaluation is undertaken) and as BARCAP notes today, there are 18 names that account for more than 50% of the discrepancy between equity's ebullience and credit curmudgeon-ness. Of these 18 names, 13 are financials (unsurprisingly) and indeed these are among the most liquid credits traded. So if you are bullish on a sustainable recovery, buying these credits seems the best high beta 'value' trade while bears should continue to watch the lack of confirmation of USD/fiat-numeraired equity market enthusiasm by risk-based credit markets. , Part Time Workers Celebrate The Recovery With Soaring Gun Purchases Following continued strength in earnings (and analyst upgrades), Smith & Wesson is up 23% this morning (near three year highs). It seems all those freshly printed temporary workers are spending their hard-earned minimum wage on 'defense' instead of iPads , Why JPM Sees A "Lot More Printing" By The ECBWhile the catalyst for much of the recent rally in risk assets seems to have been on the back of Europe clambering back from the edge of the abyss (and admittedly hope for better global growth and US decoupling), JPMorgan's Michael Cembalest notes that Europe remains very much an Achilles Heel going forward. With former ECB member Stark's recent comments on the already 'shocking' quality of the ECB's balance sheet, it is the outflows (or net balance of payments) from the periphery that means the ECB will simply have to keep printing. , Guest Post: Our "Let's Pretend" Economy: Let's Pretend "Job Growth Is Best Since 2006"The Ministry of Propaganda and its media minions are announcing that "job growth is on a tear" and the "best growth since 2006." How about we look under the hood of the employment euphoria? Here is an example of the Ministry's work: Best U.S. employment growth in 12 years Almost all the data agree — labor market’s on a tear.Over the past six months, the number of people who are employed has risen by 2.3 million — an average of 385,000 per month. That’s the best growth since early 2000, when the dot-com bubble was in full flower. Since August, the unemployment rate has fallen by 0.8 of a percentage points, to 8.3%. For adults over 25, the jobless rate has fallen to 7%.In other words, people who generally work full time so they don't have to share a bunk in a flop house or live in their parents' basement are almost fully employed, as 'full employment" typically generates an unemployment rate of 5% just due to churn. Would we as a nation be better off dealing with the truth rather than believing fantasies that prop up the Status Quo and the Fed's dearly beloved measure of the economy, the stock market? How often does accepting illusion help us navigate real life? Short answer: never. , Guest Post: Backing Into World War III?According to the doctrine of pre-emptive war, Iran can be attacked based on its alleged desire to develop nuclear weapons, just as Iraq was attacked in 2003. In fact, Congress is currently debating whether a nuclear capability alone (which Brazil, Japan, and other countries enjoy) could justify the 'preventive' attack. I believe it is time to negate this doctrine by postulating that Iran in fact has a right, as a sovereign nation, to a nuclear capability. Having traveled to Iran recently, I can attest to the Joint Chiefs' General Dempsey's reference to Iran as a 'rational' actor. The Iranians have no interest in destroying America, or Israel, at the expense of one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world, dating back about 2600 years. Iran is currently surrounded by over 40 U.S. military installations, not counting Israel's still-unaccounted nuclear arsenal. To assert that Iran would jeopardize its culture for a one-shot nuclear attack is a complete miscalculation of the Iranian spirit; that spirit gave rise to a revolution in 1979 against what they perceived as Anglo-American imperialism in the form of the Shah, much as our own revolution opposed British imperialism.

The math is impossible. There is no way on earth that this Second Bailout accomplishes anything worthy of note. The idea that this country will somehow return to economic growth within two years, based on an additional €130billion in bailouts is outright insane.Remember, Greece already received €110 billion in bailout funds in 2010… and still posted GDP growth of -4.5% in 2010 and -6.8% in 2011. Greece’s economy is only €227 billion, so the country failed to post any economic growth and in fact saw its economic collapse accelerate after receiving a bailout equal to 57% of its GDP!!!And somehow another 130€ billion is going to get this country back to economic growth in two years’ time? Greece hasn’t experienced any growth in five years.Again, this entire deal is just stupid. And all it’s done is alert Spain and Italy to the fact that handing over fiscal sovereignty and implementing austerity measures in exchange for bailouts is a waste of time.As I wrote to clients several weeks ago:Meanwhile, on the other side of EU equation, Spain and Italy must be watching what’s happening in Greece and asking themselves whether they want to go through this whole process of negotiating for bailouts via austerity measures.Both countries have already had a small sampling of the austerity measure medicine. Spain recently implemented a meager 19€ billion in austerity measures while Italy passed 30€ billion in austerity measures in 2011… hardly a drop out of their respective 1.06€ trillion and 1.5€ trillion economies.Yet, even these tiny moves resulted in protests and riots …’, US Budget Deficit Hits All Time High In February , Not So Fast On That Whole Economic Recovery Thing http://albertpeia.com/notsofastonthateconomicrecoverything.htm ‘Not so fast.  Those that are publicly declaring that an economic recovery has arrived are ignoring a whole host of numbers that indicate that the U.S. economy is in absolutely horrendous shape.  The truth is that the health of an economy should not be measured by how well the stock market is doing.  Rather, the truth health of an economy should be evaluated by looking at numbers for things like jobs, housing, poverty and debt.  Some of the latest economic statistics indicate that unemployment is getting a little bit worse, that the housing market continues to deteriorate, that poverty in America continues to soar and that our debt problem is worse than ever.  If we were truly experiencing the kind of economic recovery that the United States has experienced after every other post-World War II recession we would see a sharp improvement across the board in most of our economic statistics.  But that simply is not happening.  Sadly, this is about as much of an "economic recovery" as we are going to get because soon the economy will be getting much worse…’ ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com CENTRAL BANKS PUSH MARKETS HIGHER 3-8-12 [ Dave asututely points out: “Jobless Claims Thursday were weaker than expected (362K vs 351K expected and prior revised higher to 354K).

As it turns out, Germany is not alone: as part of the "Rettet Unser Schweizer Gold", or the “Gold Initiative”: A Swiss Initiative to Secure the Swiss National Bank’s Gold Reserves initiative, launched recently by four members of the Swiss parliament, the Swiss people should have a right to vote on 3 simple things: i) keeping the Swiss gold physically in Switzerland; ii) forbidding the SNB from selling any more of its gold reserves, and iii) the SNB has to hold at least 20% of its assets in gold. ,  Central Bank Attempt To Sucker In Retail Investors Back Into Stocks Has FailedChina Moves To Further Marginalize Dollar: Offers CNY-Denominated BRIC LoansToday we observed how as the US is considering releasing crude from its Political, pardon Strategic Petroleum Reserve, China was doing just the opposite. Now, in a further step confirming that China is acting as a much more rational capitalist power, and is rapidly encroaching on the "reserve" status of the sacrosanct USD, the FT writes that China intends to extend renminbi loans to other BRIC nations in "another step toward the internationalisation of its currency." To those following the stealthy Chinese incursion into currency markets as a dollar alternative, this is not news: already we know that China and Japan have bypassed the dollar entirely and now engage in direct bilateral trade using JPY and CNY (even as most other nations in Asia have developed bilateral agreements to transact in a non dollar basis). This is merely the latest incremental step which will see China become the dominant player in the currency arena, and further puts to doubt the fate of the US Dollar as the default currency. Of course, the market will not acknowledge any of this until the developing (i.e., non-insolvent world) is transacting entirely with US intermediation.

The truth is that according to official data from the NY City Comptroller, the average bonus dipped by just 13% in 2011, declining modestly from $138,940 to $121.150. , Some Observations On Recent Gold (And Silver) VolatilityOn February 29, gold dropped 4.8% and silver 6.2% (based on London fix prices).

Based on our experience, we've been saying for some time that volatility will increase as the markets fight their way to the mania phase of this cycle – and that once there, the gyrations will jump even higher. This call doesn't exactly require one to go out on a limb; it makes sense since more investors will be crowding in – and volatility was high in the 1979-'80 mania.... , The Mainstream Media Still Doesn’t Get the ECB Greek Debt Swap March 6, 2012 By gpc1981  http://gainspainscapital.com  ‘First off, the details of the swap are as follows: the ECB simply exchanged 50€ billion worth of old Greek sovereign bonds (which were soon to be worth much less if not be outright worthless) for 50€ billion worth of new Greek sovereign bonds which would not be exposed to default risk or any kind of debt restructuring (unlike those bonds held by private Greek bond holders).I want to mention here that the ECB only owned about 50€ billion worth of Greek sovereign bonds to begin with. So they exchanged roughly ALL of their exposure to Greece to new bonds that will not lose money during a restructuring or default.The message here is clear: all private investor sovereign bond holdings are now subordinate to those of the Central Banks/ the IMF…

Therefore, what is counted as “growth,” is actually price increases. Actual inflation..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’,  Spain’s sovereign thunderclap and the end of Merkel’s Europe Mar 5th, 2012 By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard(The Telegraph) — The Spanish rebellion has begun, sooner and more dramatically than I expected.As many readers will already have seen, Premier Mariano Rajoy has refused point blank to comply with the austerity demands of the European Commission and the European Council (hijacked by Merkozy).Taking what he called a “sovereign decision”, he simply announced that he intends to ignore the EU deficit target of 4.4pc of GDP for this year, setting his own target of 5.8pc instead (down from 8.5pc in 2011).In the twenty years or so that I have been following EU affairs closely, I cannot remember such a bold and open act of defiance by any state. Usually such matters are fudged. Countries stretch the line, but do not actually cross it.[source]PG View: Rajoy will undoubtedly gain popular support within Spain (and perhaps elsewhere in the periphery) for thumbing his nose at EU austerity demands. Nonetheless, things are going to remain crumby in Spain even under Rajoy’s more lenient 5.8% debt/GDP target, although arguably things would be much worse under the EU’s 4.4% target You Cannot Build a Strong Economy or a Bull Market on Fudged Numbers and Lipstick March 5, 2012 By gpc1981 http://gainspainscapital.com  ‘Let’s say that you just spent a large sum, to the tune of several trillion Dollars, bailing out various businesses that were literally run into insolvency by shortsighted and greedy business practices.Having spent this money, your next concern becomes avoiding popular outrage as sooner or later folks will find out that this money was practically given away and that everyone else got a raw deal.So, at that point your primary focus must become convincing the world that your policies worked and that you did in fact save the world.How do you do this?  1)The businesses you bailed out need to appear successful and profitable again 2)The economy you “saved” needs to look to be in recovery.This is precisely the blueprint for what the Powers That Be have followed post 2009. Regarding the bailed out businesses, the large banks are posting great profits by writing down bonds they own (and recording this as a profit) and by lowering loss reserves…, Non-Manufacturing ISM Prints At 57.3, Higher Than ExpectationsIn 2011 it was Europe's turn to baffle everyone with bullshit. it still is, but now it has added China (whose Services ISM printed both below and above 50 depending on which data one uses, whether Markit or HSBC), and the US, as it is now the turn of the Services ISM to beat expectations and print at 57.3, on expectations of 56.0, and higher than the prior 56.8 - this beat comes just as the market was expecting a major drop in the aftermath of the big manufacturing ISM miss (Goldman was well below the consensus on today's number), and appears to have printed where it did just to keep the confusion about the true state of the US economy in place as Bernanke vacillates whether or not to proceed with QE3 and when. Curiously, the most important subindex ahead of this Friday's NFP data, the employment indicator, showed a decline from 57.4 to 55.7, just to make an NFP beat all that much more 'surprising.' That said, as Bloomberg's Joe Brusuelas notes, this data is stale and does not reflect the recent gasoline price shock, which as of today has regular has at a 2012 high of $3.767, compared to $3.503 this time last year. Elsewhere, and in keeping with the Mfg ISM data, US Factory Orders slid 1.0% on expectations of an unchanged print from last month's 1.4% increase.

The Lehman default occurred 13 months after the US TED spread crossed 100 basis points. The European equivalent crossed 100 basis points in September 2011, so its banking crisis would occur this autumn if a year or so is a normal incubation period. A Greek or any other significant default will precipitate a European banking crisis in the foreseeable future. Markets are already speculating on Portuguese negotiations for haircuts and Ireland can’t be far behind and the contagion to US (and global) banking systems is inevitable given counterparty risks, debt loads (and refi needs), and capital requirements (no matter how well hidden by MtM math). , Couple Lives In $1.3 Million, 4,900 Square Foot Home For Five Years Without Making A Single Mortgage PaymentWonder how Americans can afford to buy millions of iGadgets, a second LCD TV for the shoe closet, and eat at restaurants more than almost any time in the past despite sliding personal income? Simple - increasingly fewer pay the biggest staple bill in a US household: their mortgage. The following story of Keith And Janet Ritter (blacks-don’t forget to include that other black couple in the white house), who have lived in their Fort Washington, MD $1.29MM, 4,900 square foot McMansion for 5 years (which they purchase with no money down) without ever making a single mortgage payment, and who are not even close to being evicted, may explain much about the way US society currently operates, and why other perfectly responsible and hard-working taxpayers (who do have to pay for their mortgage) continue to fund tens of billions in Fannie and Freddie losses who are first on the hook to absorb the implicit losses by allowing families such as the Ritters to live in perpetuity without paying, and the banks to keep said mortgage on the books at par without any impairments.

And why would they - after all it would mean that any gains, not that there have been many as most companies have reported below average results, have been artificially boosted by one-time events. Needless to say, the mainstream media would rather not touch this topic with a ten foot pole: there is an election to be won and the public can not be disturbed with facts (heaven forbid someone should mention seasonal adjustments - that's a death sentence). Which is why ironically we have to go to Goldman, which as noted recently, has once again turned bearish on the economy for one reason or another… , Who Is Most Exposed To The Oil Price Shock?Over the past 5 months, the only reason the US market, and this economy has outperformed the world (or "decoupled" in the case of so-called US fundamentals) is because the trillions in incremental liquidity from generous central planners have homed in on US equities like a heat seeker, in the process boosting confidence, and in a reflexive fashion, making consumers believe that things are getting better (for producers of printer cartridge maybe, everyone else just keeps getting worse off in real, not nominal, terms). Paradoxically, the trillion plus injected into the system from the ECB, ended up helping not Europe, but the US. However, as every action ultimately has an equal an opposite reaction, the recent US "renaissance" has also sown the seeds of its own destruction, because one of the side effects of a massive liquidity reflation is what has happened in the energy markets where the crude complex trades at all or near all time highs. However, as the following chart from UBS shows, it is the US which has the most exposure to that other side effect of soaring liquidity: surging prices. While the number is fluid (economist humor), every $10 increase in crude prices, cuts US GDP by 1%, and less than that in Europe and the ROW. As noted yesterday and today, "strategists" have already started trimming their GDP forecasts. How long before we end up seeing already weak growth turn negative as a result of the most recent central planning reliquification experiment? Because it will - central intervention always leads to adverse consequences in due course. Only this time, corporate profits will not allow the economy (read the markets) to pull itself up by the bootstrap, as they have topped and are now sliding lower. , Geithner Pens Another Ridiculous Op-Ed Nearly two years after his catastrophic foray into Op-Ed writing, here is Tim Geithner's latest, this time making the hypocritical case to "not forget the lesson from the financial crisis"... which he himself ushered on America as head of the New York Fed. Frankly we are quite sure it is not even worth reading this drivel: the unemployed man walking has been a total disaster during his entire tenure (at both the New York Fed where he supervised all the banks that subsequently fell, and the Treasury), and we are fairly confident that reading anything written by this pathological failure will cost collective IQs to drop by 10 points at a minimum.

ECRI Sticks To Recession Call As Weekly Leading Index Continues To Climb http://www.bullseyemicrocaps.com/?p=59216  Friday, March 2, 2012 By Kirk Lindstrom: The Economic Cycle Research Institute, ECRI – a New York-based independent forecasting group – released its latest readings for its proprietary Weekly Leading Index (WLI) today. For the week ending February 24, 2012:

  • WLI is 124.2 up from the prior week’s reading of 123.1.
  • The lowest reading for WLI on record was 105.3 for the week ending March 6, 2009.
  • WLI growth rose to a negative 3.0%, up from last week’s reading of negative 3.5%
  • The lowest reading for WLI growth on record was -29.9% on December 5, 2008. It turned higher months before the stock market [S&P 500 (SPY)] bottomed on March 6, 2009, at 666.79.

WLI made a 28 week high. It has not been this high since August 12, 2011, when it was 124.7. WLI growth made a 27-week high. It has not been this high since August 19, 2011, when it was a negative 1.0…Last week in the article "ECRI Remains Bearish on US Economy - Recession Still Expected" ECRI reiterated their call for a recession this year with these key points:

Since September Recession Call, ALL of the data used to define recessions is slowing.

  • Year-over-year GDP Growth peaked in Q3 2010, fell to 1.5% in Q2 2011 and has been flat-line since then.
    (Annualized quarterly GDP growth for Q4-2011 was 2.8% but the year-over-year growth was only 1.6%)
  • Personal Income Growth and Broad Sales Growth see Same kind of pattern
  • Industrial production at 22 month low

Put those into a COINCIDENT INDEX then it shows the growth has been slowing. We have not had a decline like that in the Coincident Index without a recession in the last 50 years. ECRI's Co-Founder & Chief Operations Officer, Lakshman Achuthan, said recession should begin by mid year 2012. He says revisions in the data might say a recession has already started just like the last recession. If the recession is starting now, then the consensus should figure it out in about six months (August.)…’ , Moody's Cuts Greece to Lowest Debt Rating TheStreet , Despite Recent Gains, S&P is Still Stuck in Bear Market

As such we will leave this brief clip from Slate, in which The Big Short author is asked how to avoid a new financial crisis, without much commentary (the answer is that under the current status quo system it is impossible to guarantee no more financial collapses, even if Glass-Steagall were to be unwound, but that is the topic for another story), suffice to point out the punchline: "future generations will wonder, “How did you not notice 24-year-olds were being paid $2 million a year who clearly didn’t know anything?” That pretty much sums it up right there. , Erik Townsend: Expect a US Price Shock as Black Swans Come Home to RoostAmerican investor (and longtime CM.com member) Erik Townsend has spent the past several years living internationally, with an eye to which countries may be good alternatives if economic crisis and/or Peak Oil start to materially impact life in the US.  His main observation as an expat? Through its misguided policies, the US has been exporting inflation to the rest of the world, raising prices all over the globe (as an example, he cites a $57 chicken pot pie from the menu at a 'working class' restaurant in Australia).  This inflation is affecting the rest of the world harshly, but is not yet being felt in the US due to our ability to export it as the issuer of the world's reserve currency. Our immunity will not last forever though, and when it ends, a massive upwards spike in prices is going to hit US markets. , We Were Off By Two MonthsBack on May 25 2010, just as the Greek fiests was starting to unravel, we wrote the following: "Total US debt per today's Daily Treasury Statement was $12,989,095 million. Also today, the US Treasury auctioned off $42 billion in 2 Year debt. This means that as of this moment, assuming the new debt were to settle today, the US has $13,031,095 billion in debt: congratulation America - you have now passed lucky $13 trillion in total debt. But don't worry, we won't stay here for long. At the current rate of issuance, $14 trillion will be passed in 8 months, and $15 trillion in another 7. By the end of 2011, we estimate total US sovereign debt to be about $15.5 trillion. For some recent vivid examples of prosperity courtesy of runaway debt issuance, please see Argentina, Japan and Greece."  We apologize profusely, as we were off by two months. , European Solidarity - "Everybody Knows The Spanish Are Lying About The Figures”Back in October, when Greece was rewarded with further bond haircuts for progressively missing its economic targets, even after having gotten caught on at least one occasion making its economy appear worse than it was, we said that it is only a matter of time before "Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy will promptly commence sabotaging their economies (just like Greece) simply to get the same debt Blue Light special as Greece." In the aftermath of this statement, we got the Irish and the Portuguese proceeding to slowly but surely do just that. Today, it was Spain's turn to make it 3 out of 4 after as Reuters noted so appropriately, "Spain defies Brussels on deficit target" clarifying that "Spain set itself a softer budget target for 2012 on Friday than originally agreed under the euro zone's austerity drive, putting a question mark over the credibility of the European Union's new fiscal pact. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insisted he was acting within EU guidelines because the plan was still to hit the European Union public deficit goal of 3 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013." That Italy is sure to follow is absolutely guaranteed, however just because the ECB is now indirectly monetizing BTPs the true impact will be delayed far more, and instead of taking prompt steps to remedy the situation, the European complacency will be accentuated by the fact that bond yields are very low, and supposedly indicates the true state of the economy. No. All it indicates is the conversion of future inflation (courtesy of €1 trillion in new money in the past 3 months) for a very temporary respite before all hell ultimately breaks loose as countries pretend everything is ok as bond yields are pushed artificially low. And in doing nothing, the fundamentals in the economy only get worse and worse. Germany knows this very well, and the Economist explains the reaction to Spain's surprising statement today perfectly... , Mike Krieger Asks Whether September 11, 2001 Is Our Big Lie

Which is why when the final ISM came at a whopping miss of 52.5, on consensus of 54.5, and down from 54.1, the market was less than happy. It gets worse: while the bulk of major ISM index components dropped in February, with PMI, New Orders, Production, Employment and Deliveries all down (Inventories unch), it was the scariest component that posted a major jump as Prices soared +6 to 61.5, the highest since June. And with Exports and Imports both improving, this proves that already in February rising gasoline prices started impairing US manufacturing.

Or can it?  , Grantham Goes Marxist! By Phil of Phil's Stock World“Capitalism threatens our existence.”That's the message today from legendary investor Jeremy Grantham, whose GMO Capital manages $97Bn and, like Buffett, puts out an annual letter to investors.  It’s now getting to be an old and obvious story, but because the corporate propaganda is good and despite the solidness of the scientific data, half of the people believe the problem is a government run wild, mad to control everything… Here are some of Grantham’s finer points:

  • Capitalism too heavily discounts the future value of cash flows as it seeks to raise debts: “Your grandchildren have no value.”
  • "For example, let us say that a firm’s current actions are going to cost society at large a billion dollars’ worth of harm in 50 years. Further, let us agree that all of the costs will definitely be imposed on the company. The company would feel that pain today as equivalent to only a mere $1 million hit to earnings. Why should they care?" 
  • Companies foolishly reward executives for taking on debt: “Total remuneration ... for senior officers ... rose as a percentage of the average worker’s pay from 40 times in Eisenhower’s era to over 600 times today with no indication of any general improvement in talent.”
  • It’s about profit, not people: “Capitalism in general has no sense of ethics or conscience. Whatever the Supreme Court may think, it is not a person.”
  • The more people borrow, the more they just gamble: “Leverage ... increases your returns over and over until, suddenly, it ruins you. ... There are no Investors Anonymous meetings to attend.”
  • This time, it’s not so different: “Ignore the ... inevitable cheerleaders who will assure you that this time it’s a new high plateau ... even if that view comes from the Federal Reserve itself. No. Make that, especially if it comes from there.”

  • Big companies can’t help it: “Ethical CEOs can drag a company along for a while, but this is an undependable and temporary fix.”
  • Economic theory ignores natural laws. It suffers an “absolute inability to process the finiteness of resources. ... Capitalism wants to eat into ... limited resources at an accelerating rate with the subtext that everyone on the planet has the right to live like the wasteful polluting developed countries do today.”
  • It’s not just inexpensive oil we are running out of: The “loss of our collective ability to feed ourselves, through erosion and fertilizer depletion — has received little or no attention.”
  • Americans are too optimistic: “They adopt a hear-no-evil approach to life and listen exclusively to good news. ... There are always a few experts lacking in long-horizon vision, simple common sense, or whose co-operation has been rented, like “expert” witnesses at a murder trial, who can be dragged out to reliably say that everything will always work out fine.”

And they are: 1)   Germany will not put up more money unless Greece essentially passes up its fiscal sovereignty. 2)   The G20 will not give more money to Europe via the IMF unless Germany and other EU nations create a “firewall” by putting more capital into the ESM mega-fund. 3)   The ECB has announced Greek bonds are not eligible collateral for its LTRO operations, so if banks need immediate liquidity, they need to go to national central banks (read Germany). This is quite a turn of events. Prior to this, the ECB and Germany were seen to be working hand in hand (aside from the usual political spats) to save Europe. But between the ECB’s decision to swap out its Greek debt for new debt that won’t take a hit in the event of Greek default as well as its recent rejection of Greek debt as collateral for LTRO loans, it appears that the ECB is increasingly going to make Europe’s problems Germany’s problems. , Ron Paul To Ben Bernanke: "People Lose Trust In The Government Because You Lie To Them About Inflation"China Dumps $100+ Billion In USTs In December Per Revised TIC Data; UK Is Now Russia's Shadow Buyer Fed's Beige iPad Notes The Usual Regurgitated Fluff About The EconomyFor those confused, the Fed's Beige Book has been upgraded to the Beige iPad (apparently Ben is not a fan of the black or white version).

Runaway fiscal and monetary stimulus throughout the western economies is in the process of destroying the concept of creditworthiness at the centre of the modern monetary system.  Private investors, we suspect, have little or no conception of the extent to which the state is now the predominant player in the financial markets. Central banks control the money supply and interest rates. Central banking and commercial banking interests have essentially become fused. The ECB's long-term refinancing operations are banking bailouts by the back door. Central banks are now also the swing players in government bond markets which directly influences the price for corporate credit.

They used a timeline that was much too short for the job at hand and payment will eventually be forced upon them. They obviously get the joke where Eurobonds and other ploys of this nature average the economies of Europe and the standards of living over some period of time so that Germany, in the end, will suffer most as they have the furthest to fall.

Their plan has been to “extend and pretend”, praying for an economic recovery that would save them from their greedy and foolish risk taking during the 2003 – 2007 Caligula-like debauchery. DEBT DEFAULT MEANS HUGE LOSSES FOR THE WALL STREET CRIMINAL BANKS. Of course the banksters will just demand another taxpayer bailout from the puppet politicians. This repeat scenario gives new meaning to the term shop until you drop. Extending and pretending can work for awhile as accounting obfuscation, rolling over bad debts, and praying for a revival of the glory days can put off the day of reckoning for a couple years. Ultimately it comes down to cash flow, whether you’re a household, retailer, developer, bank or government.

Instead, I think it much more important to ascertain the true exposure to Greek sovereign debt…’ $200 Oil Coming As Central Banks Go CTRL+P HappyWe have been saying it for weeks, and today even the WSJ jumped on the bandwagon: the sole reason why crude prices are surging (RIP European profit margins: with EUR Brent at a record, we can only assume the ECB will pull a 2011 and hike rates in 3-4 months even as it pumps trillions in PIIGS, banks bailout liquidity) - is because global liquidity has risen by $2 trillion in a few short months, on the most epic shadow liquidity tsunami launched in history in lieu of QE3 (discussed extensively here in our words, but here are JPM's). Luckily, the market is finally waking up to this, and just as world central banks were preparing to offset deflation, they will instead have to deal with spiking inflation, because the market may have a short memory, it can remember what happened just about this time in 2011. And the problem is that when it comes to the inflation trade, the market, unlike in most other instances, can be fast - blazing fast, at anticipating what the central planning collective's next step will be, after all there is only one. And if Bank of America is correct, that next step could well lead to the same unprecedented economic catastrophe that we saw back in 2008, only worse: $200 oil. Note - this is completely independent of what happens in Iran, and is 100% dependent on what happens in the 3rd subbasement of the Marriner Eccles building. Throw in an Iran war and all bets are off. Needless to say, an epic deflationary shock will need to follow immediately, just as in 2008, which means that, in keeping with the tradition of being 6-9 months ahead of the market, our question today is - which bank will be 2012's sacrificial Lehman to set off the latest and greatest deflationary collapse and send crude plunging to $30 just after it hits $200.  ,  $10 Trillion In 2 years - 'Over' Abundant Liquidity And ExpectationsToday's Events: Consumer Confidence in Manipulated Markets, New Home Sales, Fed SpeechesBunch of irrelevant and reflexive (stock market is up so confidence - in what? manipulated markets? - is higher, so stock market is up so confidence is higher etc) stuff today, as the world central banks prepare to pump another $600-$1000 billion into the consolidated balance sheet and send input costs into the stratosphere. , 'Gold Bullion or Cash' Shows Buffett, Roubini, Krugman Mistaken; Faber, Rogers, Bass, Einhorn, Gross CorrectCurrency debasement of all major currencies is happening today on a scale never before seen in history.

And funnily enough there's nothing more likely to get investors bullish than a rising market"), short-termism ("One thing you can say for the market is that it has an extremely short memory"), and that so far 2012 is a carbon copy of 2011 ("One thing you can say for the market is that it has an extremely short memory.

   ,   Scandal: Greece To Receive "Negative" Cash From "Second Bailout" As It Funds Insolvent European BanksEarlier today, we learned the first stunner of the Greek "bailout package", which courtesy of some convoluted transmission mechanisms would result in some, potentially quite many, Greek workers actually paying to retain their jobs: i.e., negative salaries. Now, having looked at the Eurogroup's statement on the Greek bailout, we find another very creative use of "negative" numbers. And by creative we mean absolutely shocking and scandalous. First, as a reminder, even before the current bailout mechanism was in place, Greece barely saw 20% of any actual funding, with the bulk of the money going to European and Greek banks (of which the former ultimately also ended up funding the ECB and thus European banks). Furthermore, we already know that as part of the latest set of conditions of the second Greek bailout, an 'Escrow Account" would be established: this is simply a means for Greek creditors to have a senior claims over any "bailout" cash that is actually disbursed for things such as, you know, a Greek bailout, where the money actually trickles down where it is most needed - the Greek citizens. Here is where it just got surreal. It turns out that not only will Greece not see a single penny from the Second Greek bailout, whose entire Use of Proceeds will be limited to funding debt interest and maturity payments, but the country will actually have to fund said escrow! You read that right: the Greek bailout #2 is nothing but a Greek-funded bailout of Europe's insolvent banks... and the Greek constitution is about to be changed to reflect this! , Would You Support an Iran War If … : George Washington : 2/22/12  http://albertpeia.com/16reasonswhyonlyfoolssupportswaragainstIran.htm , Europe's Nash Equilibrium - A Tightly Stretched Rubber Band?Guest Post: Dangerous IdeasThere is a very clear relationship between economic growth and sufficient quantities of high quality energy. A crude measure of energy quality is its price. The lower the price for a unit of energy, the higher its quality (or net energy), but this is a very crude measure that can and often is heavily distorted by subsidies, market pressures, and other factors. As we squint at the world price for oil and note that Brent today is trading at $120 per barrel, it is clear that this high price is signaling that energy is now more expensive than it used to be. By adopting the belief that Peak Oil has been debunked, one runs the risk of missing the larger story that our current economic model is unsustainable. And that stocks and bonds and other traditional investments that derive a large portion of their current value from expectations of future growth simply may not perform anything like they have in the past. And worse, that recent and continuing efforts to revive the old economy by printing money risk the destruction of the money system itself. Given this all-too-human tendency to attempt to preserve the status quo, in this case by printing money, I must reiterate my advice to be sure that gold forms a significant portion of your core portfolio. , Complete Latest Hedge Fund Holdings AnalysisThe fine folks at Street of Walls have been kind enough to provide us with their latest 13F breakdown which looks at the position changes across America's 30 largest and most important hedge funds. ,  NAR Continues Tradition Of Making Mockery Of Itself, Revises December Home Sales From +5% to -0.5% And here is yet another reason why we will permanently ignore the pathologically lying real estate syndicate known as the NAR (link): December data was just revised from +5% to -0.5% (from 4.61 million to 4.38 million). Since December market expectations were for a +5.2% print, imagine the sheer horror the algos would have been faced with had the real number been reported on time. Needless to say, if this number had been unrevised, the January +4.3% increase would have been a decline. This way the aglos focused only on the immediate moment get two months of beats in a row. Huzzah. Anyone who trades anything based on this borderline criminal self-reporting enterprise needs to have their head checked. In other news, when will the LIBOR investigation finally target the NAR? , Why The Core Needs To Save The PeripheryWe have discussed, at length, the symbiotic (or perhaps parasitic) relationship between the banking system in Europe and the governments (read Central Banks). The LTRO has done nothing but bring them into a closer and more mutually-reinforcing chaotic relationship as we suspect many of the Italian and Spanish banks have gone all-in on the ultimate event risk trade in their government's debt. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the bulk of the Greek bailout money will flow directly to the European banking system and Credit Suisse has recently updated the bank exposure (by country) to peripheral sovereign debt that shows just how massively dependent each peripheral nation's banking system is on its own government for capital and more importantly, how the core (France and Germany) remains massively exposed (in terms of Tier 1 Capital) to the PIIGS. Retroactive (negative) salary cuts may well not be the worst of what is to come as the bankers deleveraging returns to bite them in a phoenix-like resurrection of sovereign risk on now even-more sovereign-bloated (and levered) balance sheets. , It's Official - Greece Unveils The Negative Salary, And A Whole New Meaning For "Pay To Play" Zombie Housing Market Chronicles - Fed Fails Again To Stimulate A Housing RecoveryWhile today the association of real estate advertising agents known as the NAR will tell us that the home market is improving - an economic observation which we will completely ignore as any data out of the NAR is now proven to be manipulated and fraudulent, a far better indication of the ongoing implosion in the housing market, and more importantly - the sheer powerlessness of the Fed to do anything about it - came out of the latest weekly Mortgage Brokers Association, which showed that refi applications were down 4.8% W/W, while purchases slid 2.9%, after collapsing 8.4% in the past week. , No, This Is Not Mount Olympus... ...This is a chart of the Greek bank stock index, which has gone from an all out demented euphoria to suicidal depression in 5 days, as the rumor that Greece is "saved" has been replaced with the reality that Greece is still "completely broke" ,  Greek 1 Year Hits 763%WTF Did All That Printed Money Go? : ilene : 02/22/2012 - A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enema. ,  Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com MARKETS ARE GETTING TIRED February 22, 2012Clearly it’s hard for markets to consistently produce 3%-5% monthly returns without taking a break. This is what we’re now seeing absent—more positive news. Jobless Claims data Thursday should shed some light on conditions as will next week’s Employment Report which needs to verify a better trend in conditions. Gallup is projecting an unemployment rate in excess of 9% again although they don’t seasonally adjust like the BS BLS does.We read yesterday some breathless financial commentators remarking that mutual funds showed the first positive fund flows since the previous January. That’s a nice assertion, but January is always a time for people to invest for their IRA or 401K and so forth. Surprisingly ETF fund flow data from the previous bullish week showed $1.2 billion in outflows for both equity and bond sectors.Basically, markets are just getting tired.

This factor remains concealed behind media hysteria about the supposed failure of Athens to comply with a brutal austerity diktat by the EU-IMF-ECB 'troika'....The question is how will the Eurogroup approve these PSI participation costs that far exceed the supposed gain from the 100bn euro "haircut" but also leave nothing to cover Greece's debt servicing obligations for 2012-2014 of at least another 70bn euros to say nothing of possible budget deficits due to the collapse of public revenues in the fifth consecutive year of a Greek depression. All the histrionics about forcing Greece to set up a separate “escrow account that would give legal priority to debt and interest payments over paying for government expenses”, is nothing but a smokescreen for piling massive sums of fresh public debt on Greece's shoulders without lending a single penny to make up for the economic catastrophe meted out on the country. , Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow Once we see what Europe is really going to do, not what they have told us they might do, the real show gets underway.

We expect the market to grasp this discrepancy shortly." With gold about $30 bucks higher, the market is finally starting to "grasp it", and is now back to $1755, as silver passes $34. ,  As Dow Passes 13,000 In Nominal Terms, Here Is The "Real" PictureThree charts that perhaps will calm the nominal euphoria as Dow 13000 screams across the screens. Since May 2008, the Dow is unchanged in price and down 50% in 'real' gold terms. The picture is just as disheartening from the start of 2011 and 2012. Next stop Dow 20,000 and Gold 20,000?   Wondering why the DJIA just passed 13K again? Wonder no more: as the chart below shows it is entirely due to the nearly $7 trillion pumped by global central banks into the world stock markets just in the past 4 years. As Sean Corrigan from Diapason notes, the aggregate global central bank balance sheet has doubled in four years, after doubling in the 5 years before that. We would add that with the entire centrally planned ponzi scheme hell bent on preserving the illusion of nominal gains, global liquidity is now fungibly sloshing from one market to another with absolutely zero resistance whatsoever. At this rate, it should double again in 3 years, then 2, and so on. Will the Dow hit 52K in 5 years in that case? Why most certainly.

Defaults have not been permitted. The result has been a tremendous build-up of paper ripe for burning. Had the fires of default been allowed to burn freely in the past we may well have healthier financial institutions. Instead we find our banks loaded up with all kinds of flammable paper products; their basements stuffed with barrels of black powder.

The weakness in GGBs today along with the rise in the cost of Greek basis packages (a hedged bond trade that looks to profit from a credit event or compression) suggest markets are beginning to wake up to reality but the dead-currency-walking behavior of the EUR (and ES) since last night's close suggests many remain sidelined or have all their chips on the constantly-tilting table. In the end every private holder will write-off 50 percent permanently and those that live in a mark to market world (fewer and fewer live in that world in Europe) probably lose another 20 points or so. CDS will be triggered and we will be told how great it was that Greece avoided a default and that it is an isolated case. Is that scenario priced in? , Could ECB Greek Bond Swap Trigger Ratings Default?at The Wall Street Journal , Greek 1 Year At 629%, Biggest One Day Jump In Yield EverThe equities market is acting like we know Greece's default will be orderly and no threat to financial stability. It is also acting like we know the U.S. economy can grow smartly while Europe contracts in recession. Lastly, the high level of confidence exuded by market participants suggests we know central bank liquidity is endlessly supportive of equities. What do we really know about the coming default of Greece? Whether we openly call it default or play semantic games with "voluntary haircuts," we know bondholders will absorb tremendous losses that are equivalent to default. We also suspect some bondholders will refuse to play nice and accept their voluntary haircuts. Beyond that, how much do we know about how this unprecedented situation will play out? , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  ‘Speaking of defaults Americans and Europeans dissatisfied with bailing out banks and countries should examine what has happened with Iceland.

The Reporter Is Either Wrong Or This Is A Bad Deal For Greece Bank Bonds Not Buying The Rally Sprott's John Embry:“The Current Financial System Will Be Totally Destroyed“ America's Discretionary Spending Well Has Run DryQuote Of The Week “Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.” – President James Garfield, 2 weeks before his assassination. , SocGen Sums It Up: "The Time For Patching It Up Is Over" Bullish Sentiment Takes A Diveat The Wall Street Journal , Greece is Not Lehman 2.0… As I’ll Show You, It’s Far Far Worse… February 16th, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com , Morgan Stanley Smith Barney: Yep, We're Still Bearishat The Wall Street Journal , While You Were Sleeping, Central Banks Flooded The World In LiquidityThere are those who have been waiting to buy undilutable precious metals in response to a headline announcement from the Fed that it is starting to buy up hundreds of billions of Treasurys or MBS.  This is understandable - after all that is precisely the trigger that the headline scanning robots which account for 90% of market action in the past year are programmed to do. , As US Debt Hits New Record, Fiscal 2012 Tax Revenues Are 10% Higher Than Debt IssuanceToday, the US total debt rose by $32 billion touching on a new record high of $15.392 trillion. As a reminder this is just the beginning: as we noted yesterday, according to the president's own budget total US debt is now expected to surpasses the greatest and final debt ceiling of $16.4 trillion just around September, and likely sooner with the addition of the $160 billion in additional debt needed to fund the extension of the Bush temporary yet perpetual tax cut through the end of 2012. So while we know that total debt to GDP is already over 100% and unlikely to ever decline back to double digits, thus putting into question the marginal utility of debt to generate further economic growth, another just as important question is what is the incremental utility of tax revenue relative to debt issuance, i.e., is America now issuing more debt than it is collecting from tax revenues: a step which would further cement its status as a banana debt republic. , ECB To Fund Eurozone Central Banks As PSI SweetenerA number of headlines from Bloomberg, via Die Welt, that the ECB will undergo a bond swap on their greek government bonds and the 'profit' will flow to governments. This is absolute delusion. The ECB claims EUR50bn nominal value of GGBs - so likely took a EUR20-30bn loss on this given the prices they bought at under the SMP and the current market price. We explained last week (must-read) the delusional nature of these profits (given the losses that occur once the new bonds break) and assume this is yet another attempt to make market participants believe they wil help with PSI. However, there is more to this in our humble opinion. Since the ECB says they will distribute profits (which we know are illusory) to governments - it is nothing but a covert attempt to funnel money (think printing) to local government central banks - and the illusory profits here are simply giving away free money. Perhaps the loud screaming over the pain associated with even an 'orderly' Greek default is enough that the ECB needs to placate them with some new freshly printed money? For now, the PSI remains in limbo for the hold-out blocking stake reasons we have discussed at length - if the ECB were to step into the market and buy/swap with hold-outs all of their UK-law bonds at Par (for huge gains to the hedgies) then perhaps we get a deal done - but this would be astounding and leave the rest of the European sovereign debt market disabled as investors pushed for the same deal and vigilantes drove Portugal and then Spain to this point...Is it perhaps cheaper for the Troika to fund the ECB's EUR30bn loss (and let Greece default) than pay the EUR130bn for them to stay?Two formal requests to Mr. Draghi - please show where the profit is booked on your balance sheet and also explain how a notional swap (no debt reduction) in any helps the Greeks? , The Farce-Hole Gets Deeper: Obama's "Robo-Settlement For Votes" Cost To Taxpayers: $40 BillionPlunging deeper into the farce-hole, the FT reports tonight that Obama's foreclosure settlement with the banks over their improper seizure of tax-paying US citizens' homes will in fact be subsidized by those very same US taxpayers. It is a hidden clause (that has not been made public yet) that allows the banks to count future loan modifications under the $30bn (taxpayer funded) HAMP initiative towards their $35bn agreement to restructure obligations under the new settlement. As the FT goes on to note, BofA will be able to use future mods made under HAMP towards the $7.6bn in borrower assistance it is committed to provide - which means, in a (as TARP inspector general Neil Barofsky describes) 'scandalous' turn of events the bank will receive payments for averting a borrower default and be reimbursed by the taxpayer for the principal write-down. We have much stronger words for how we are feeling about this but Barofsky sums it up calmly "It turns the notion that this is about justice and accountability on its head". Are the Big Five banks truly beyond the law? Credit Suisse The Sequel: "Probability Of The Largest Disorderly Default Loss In History On March 20 Has Increased" A week ago we presented an excerpt from Credit Suisse's most excellent piece "The Flaw" - merely the latest in one of the best overviews of the neverending Greek soap opera by William Porter. Yet every soap opera eventually ends. Although when it comes to Nielsen ratings, the denouement is usually a whimper. In the case of Greece, it will be anything but. Yet listening to the daily cacafony of din from Europe's leaders, who are likely more clueless than the average reader as to what is really going on, one may be left with the impression that there is a simple solution to the problem, and Greece may be "saved... in hours." It can't. In fact, as of today, Porter's s conclusion is: "we are left with a sense that the probability of delivering the largest default loss in history in a disorderly way on or before 20 March has increased relative to doing so in an orderly way."

We are being buried under a blizzard of lies on a daily basis. We have a choice. We can support the existing corrupt crony capitalist establishment (Obama & Romney) or we can declare war on lies, deceit and misinformation by rallying behind the only person who would truly attempt to reverse decades of corruption, sleaze, incompetence, bloat, debt accumulation, and a warped version of free market capitalism – Ron Paul. He is the only public figure willing to level with the American people and tell them the truth. Will we let the concept of truth fade out of the world? The choice is ours. “In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.” –   George Orwell Biderman Beyond Baffled by B.O.'s BudgetIn his best Lewis Black impression, TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman succinctly destroys the 'growth' myth behind Obama's budget plan as nothing but a handout and money-printing exercise in futility and drain-circling. Based on the $3.8tn budget plan, the TrimTabs truth-seeker notes that current government tax revenues are about $2.4tn, and growing at no more than $100bn each year, making the math surprisingly simple - we spend around $300bn per month and receive only $200bn with the missing $100bn to pay for the US government's largesse (income shortfall) coming from - 'printing money'. The spin is, of course, that revenues will somehow magically start to grow faster than spending and shrink the budget deficit. , The Hidden Taxes In Obama's Budget Moody's may downgrade 17 banks, securities firms , US stocks fall as Greek talks lumber; Apple falls , Fed's Fisher Dismisses QE3 as 'Wall Street Fantasy' The Wall Street Journal , STOCKS FINALLY DIVE, TEMPERS EXPLODE IN EUROPE: Here's What You Need To KnowBusiness Insider , Market Recap: Stocks Slip as Greek Bailout Decision PostponedWall St. Cheat Sheet , Obama Cites Rising Gas Prices – Up 83 Percent Under His Tenure – Among Reasons to Extend Payroll Tax Cut CNS News , The Federal Reserve’s Explicit Goal: Devalue The Dollar 33% Business Insider , Li(e)borgate Set To Become "Next Big Litigation Thing" As Lawsuits Against Libor Banks AvalancheLast week we discussed the gradual unraveling of a topic we had been following for the past 3 years, namely the brazen and criminal manipulation in the Libor market, which directly and indirectly impacts a stunning $350 trillion worth of securities (and thus, their implied risk, and hence, prices). Today we are delighted to learn that the retribution against these banks who have been artificially representing to the market that they are in better condition than in reality (courtesy of Libor's "strict" self-reporting approach), are beginning to see lawsuits filed against them, with Schwab merely the latest out of the gate. And just as fraudclosure was the litigation topic of 2010 and 2011, sit down and watch as Li(E)borgate explodes into the biggest litigation pain for banks, with litigation expenses that could easily surpass both the robosigning scandal (and its robo-settlement) and the escalating banks Reps and Warranties scandal.

Now, it is David Rosenberg's turn who tries to refute the presiding transitory dogma that 'things are ok" and that a Greek default will be contained (no, it won't be, and if nobody remembers what happened in 2008, here is a reminder of everything one needs to know ahead of the "controlled", whatever that is, Greek default). Alas, it will be to no avail, as one of the dominant features of the lemming herd is that it will gladly believe the grandest of delusions well past the ledge. On the other hand, they don't call it the pain trade for nothing. Infographic: Visualizing The True Cost Of War While we have shown some quite fascinating infographics (here and here) from the folks at Demonocracy, this one may be the most informative. Because while everyone knows by now that if the global "bailout" to preserve the insolvent ponzi were to be paid in crisp, physical $100 bills, the amount of money required would fill countless skyscrapers, and only pales compared to the the amount of money needed to fund the insolvent welfare state which at last check was at over a quarter of a quadrillion, it is another less appreciated aspect of the daily US spending routine that is arguably just as big an offender when it comes to endless wanton spending: the cost of war.

His his first novel, Liar’s Poker, was full of them. The BSDs were the guys on the trading floor who brought more rain than El Niño. But the BSDs have gone a little soft now. Even the famous Wall Street bull has been caged. And some, like number one banking fanboi Dick Bove say that bankers been “castrated” altogether by new regulation. Regulation which many argue does not go far enough. Regardless, the Masters of the Universe suddenly find themselves feeling the pain that many of the rest of us have been feeling for the past four years. Only their ways of coping with it are a little different than what you might expect.

State and federal governments have condoned forgery, perjury and fraudIs Okun's Law The Latest Casualty Of Central Planning...And BLS Seasonal AdjustmentsOkun's rule-of-thumb relates the long-term empirical finding that a country's unemployment rate is closely related to a country's output (or GDP) - perfectly sensible and comprehensible. In fact to be a little more explicit, it is the change in unemployment that is more notable in its relationship to the potential GDP (the output gap). His original work noted that a 3% increase in output corresponds to a 1% decline in unemployment rates (and/or rise in labor force participation, rise in hours worked, and rise in labor productivity) but as Goldman Sachs notes this week, Okun's Law has broken. As they point out, even though US real GDP growth has averaged a meager 2.5% pace since the end of the recession, the unemployment rate has fallen almost two percentage points from its peak. There are three implications, in our view: the unemployment rate is hopelessly miscalculated (and is much higher); potential growth is much lower than economists have been expecting (not such good news for real growth); and the multiplier effect of money has dropped structurally (in other words the implied money flow from more workers is not circulating the way it empirically has to juice growth). It seems to us that none of these are good for growth as the reality of a higher unemployment rate (BLS adjustments aside) is negative, lower potential for growth impacts earnings expectations (as we are already seeing in company and analyst outlooks which has perplexed those market watchers pinning their hopes on the jobless rate), and the balance sheet recessionary impacts of the 'employed' minimizing debt rather than maximizing potential gain is a further drag. Either way, as Goldman notes the potential growth rate going forward (2012 and 2013) is likely to remain quite weak, in the neighborhood of 2% in line with the CBO's dismal views and this could be further exacerbated by the drop in labor force participation we have noted vociferously. , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  ACCIDENT-PRONE MARKETS  February 10, 2012 ‘With volume remaining holiday light and many indicators signaling overbought conditions, we’ve suggested markets were an accident waiting to happen… ,  Taxpayers Are Owed $133B From Bailouts    http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1416049583001/taxpayers-are-owed-133b-from-bailouts/?playlist_id=87093  ,  Investors Take Note: A Seismic Shift Has Begun in China… February 10th, 2012  http://gainspainscapital.com   ,   Anxiety over incomes hits consumer morale  , The Epic Farce Continues - US Attorneys General "Robosigned" A Foreclosure Settlement Which Does Not ExistProof Of LTRO Bank Stigma, Or Why Mario Draghi Is LyingObama Revises CBO Deficit Forecast, Predicts 110% Debt-To-GDP By End Of 2013, Worse Deficit In 2012 Than 2011Ben Bernanke FTMFW Quote Of The DayAnd the winner is...

Following that, we made a stronger case that the Libor, should really be abbreviated to LiEbor in "On the Uselessness of Libor" from June 2009, which alleged that this number is essentially manipulated, potentially with malicious intent. That alone got us a very unhappy retort from the British Banker Association (BBA) which is the banker-owned entity set to "determine" what the daily Libor fixing is based on how banks themselves tell us their liquidity conditions are. Well, as has been getting more and more obvious over the past two years, our allegations were 100% correct, and have now manifested in a series of articles digging through the dirt, manipulation and outright crime behind this completely fabricated number. And yet this should be the most aggravated offence in the capital markets, because LIBOR just so happens is the primary driver in determining implicit risk as a reference rate for $350 trillion worth of financial products. That's right - that one little number, now thoroughly discredited, has downtstream effects on $350,000,000,000,000.00 worth of notional assets. That's a lot. And while we are confident that nobody will ever go to prison for LIBOR fraud, which has explicitly been leading investors and speculators alike to believe that risk is far lower than where it truly is…  ,  All The World’s Gold by News  (NumberSlueth)  http://albertpeia.com/gold.jpg  ,  [ AP: I personally believe significant amounts of american gold reseves have been looted, amounts misstated consistent with the typical patterns of fraud / theft endemic to america in these rather grim, desperate times accompanied by pervasive fraud and corruption. ]  ,   University of Michigan consumer sentiment (prelim) fell to 72.5 in Feb, below market expectations of 74.0, vs 75.0 Jan.  ,  Violence erupts as Greece ponders tough terms for new bailout  ,  US trade gap widened to -$48.8 bln in Dec, near expectations of -$48.0 bln, vs -$47.06 bln in Nov.  ,   MARKETS SINK AND GREECE IS FALLING APART: Here's What You Need To Know  Business Insider  ,  Unemployment, Foreclosures, Rising Debts and Despair: AMERICA’S SOCIAL CRISIS Bob Chapman | 2012 is going to be a difficult year   , 2-10-12   Leading Economist: “We’re In a No Win Situation… This Is End of the World Type Stuff” *Video*  Mac Slavo | This is an interview that shouldn’t be missed http://www.prisonplanet.com/leading-economist-%E2%80%9Cwe%E2%80%99re-in-a-no-win-situation%E2%80%A6-this-is-end-of-the-world-type-stuff%E2%80%9D-video.html  ,    David Rosenberg: Bearish And Sticking To It The Wall Street Journal ’ Rosenberg: We have had three years of fiscal deficits around 10% of GDP. That’s the sort of red ink generally reserved for world wars. We have zero percent policy rates now for three years and a pledge for another three, and on top of that, a central bank that has blown out its balance sheet to a level that is now equivalent to 20% of GDP. With this massive government incursion, wouldn’t it make sense that the economy would have at least some modest growth? The question will ultimately be answered down the road as to how things look when all this largess unwinds — at some point, the piper gets paid. Rosenberg goes on to describe how the economy’s dependence on government intervention …The economy is sucking off Uncle Sam’s teat — that is the primary source of this seemingly resilient economy. Over the past two years, the American public’s reliance on public funds (housing goodies, expanded welfare, food stamps, extended jobless benefits and other subsidies) has surged 7.5% to 23% (67 million people supported). This metric usually goes down after recessions end — but not this time. And to put it all in perspective, in the severe 1981-82 recession, there was only a 6% increase (and then it fell sharply).

But what if the rot is already beyond the reach of more top-down policy tweaks? Consider the recent healthcare legislation: thousands of pages of obtuse regulations that require a veritable army of regulators staffing a sprawling fiefdom with the net result of uncertain savings based on a board somewhere in the labyrinth establishing "best practices" that will magically cut costs in a system that expands by 9% a year, each and every year, a system so bloated with fraud, embezzlement and waste that the total sum squandered is incalculable, but estimated at around 40%, minimum....The painful truth is that we are far beyond the point where policy/legalist regulatory tweaks will actually fix what's wrong with America. The rot isn't just financial or political; those are real enough, but they are mere reflections of a profound social, cultural, yes, spiritual rot. This is the great illusion: that our financial and political crises can be resolved with top-down, centralized financial reforms of one ideological flavor or another.

The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience. , Survey: home prices declined in 19 of 20 cities in November; prices back to 2003 levels Jan 31st, 2012 (AP)  ,  Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system.

When Will The Government Quit Putting Out Fraudulent Employment Statistics?  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com  http://albertpeia.com/governmentfraudulentemploymentstats.htm  ‘On Friday, the entire financial world celebrated when it was announced that the unemployment rate in the United States had fallen to 8.3 percent. That is the lowest it has been since February 2009, and it came as an unexpected surprise for financial markets that are hungry for some good news.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payrolls jumped by 243,000 during the month of January.  You can read the full employment report right here.  Based on this news, pundits all over the world were declaring that the U.S. economy is back.  Stocks continued to rise on Friday and the Dow is hovering near a 4 year high.  So does this mean that our economic problems are over?  Of course not.  A closer look at the numbers reveals just how fraudulent these employment statistics really are.  Between December 2011 and January 2012, the number of Americans "not in the labor force" increased by a whopping 1.2 million.  That was the largest increase ever in that category for a single month.  That is how the federal government is getting the unemployment rate to go down.  The government is simply pretending that huge numbers of unemployed Americans don't want to be part of the labor force anymore.  As you will see below, the employment situation in America is not improving.  Yet everyone in the mainstream media is dancing around as if the economic crisis has been cancelled.  I can't take it anymore!  It is beyond ridiculous that so many intelligent people continue to buy in to such fraudulent numbers…  http://albertpeia.com/Labor-Force-Participation-Rate-440x264.png  , http://albertpeia.com/Employment-Population-Ratio-440x264.png … ,  Long-Term Unemployment Remains High, Millions Leave Labor Force Matt Cover | Number of long-term unemployed was unchanged at 5.5 million in January, near its record .. , Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  CONTROVERSIAL JOBS REPORT STOKES BULLS February 03, 2012 ‘The jobs report Friday was a ginned-up number but the media and algos don’t look under the hood much it seems. Yes, the unemployment rate fell to 8.3% and 243K new jobs were created and perhaps the number itself will boost confidence.My favorite book from college statistics was ‘How to Lie with Statistics’. I believe the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) may have ripped a chapter or two from the book. The details were interesting and little reported because the media has soap to sell. First a whopping 1.2 million people vanished from the labor force in 2011. That is a massive seasonal/consensus driven adjustment. The BLS assumes those people aged 55 and higher died from the 2010 consensus. (So much for living longer in the USA!)This means the labor force fell to a 30 year low of 63.7%. Around 113K of the gain in employment came from low wage jobs according to CRT Capital Group. Also part-time jobs rose by 699K, the third highest in history, while only 80K full-time jobs were created. Finally, the ISM Services Report, which rose to 56.8 from 52.6, included an increase in sector employment from 49.8 to 57.3, but perhaps didn’t include large sector bank layoffs. Other skeptics included PIMCO’s Bill Gross who tweeted: http://albertpeia.com/grosstweet.htm  Respected TrimTabs detailed analysis which mocks the BLS and well regarded blogger Jesse’s Café Americain.Lack of in-depth or accurate reporting aside, the stock market loved the report as it was “dummy up” time in the media.

Looks like the good folks at the BLS heard us: it appears that the people not in the labor force exploded by an unprecedented record 1.2 million. No, that's not a typo: 1.2 million people dropped out of the labor force in one month! So as the labor force increased from 153.9 million to 154.4 million, the non institutional population increased by 242.3 million meaning, those not in the labor force surged from 86.7 million to 87.9 million. Which means that the civilian labor force tumbled to a fresh 30 year low of 63.7% as the BLS is seriously planning on eliminating nearly half of the available labor pool from the unemployment calculation.. , Implied Unemployment Rate Rises To 11.5%, Spread To Propaganda Number Surges To 30 Year High   Sick of the BLS propaganda? Then do the following calculation with us: the US civilian non-institutional population was 242,269 in January, an increase of 1.7 million month over month: apply the long-term average labor force participation rate of 65.8% to this number (because as chart 2 below shows, people are not retiring as the popular propaganda goes: in fact labor participation in those aged 55 and over has been soaring as more and more old people have to work overtime, forget retiring), and you get 159.4 million: that is what the real labor force should be. The BLS reported one? 154.4 million: a tiny 5 million difference. Then add these people who the BLS is purposefully ignoring yet who most certainly are in dire need of labor and/or a job to the 12.758 million reported unemployed by the BLS and you get 17.776 million in real unemployed workers. What does this mean? That using just the BLS denominator in calculating the unemployed rate of 154.4 million, the real unemployment rate actually rose in January to 11.5%. Compare that with the BLS reported decline from 8.5% to 8.3%. It also means that the spread between the reported and implied unemployment rate just soared to a fresh 30 year high of 3.2%. And that is how with a calculator and just one minute of math, one strips away countless hours of BLS propaganda. , Marc Faber: "Ron Paul Would Be A Very Good President"While Marc Faber shares the usual stock of insightful market commentary, together with timing inflection points, and extended thoughts in the attached Bloomberg TV clip, it is the fact that he has officially joined Bill Gross, and so many others, in supporting the candidacy of Ron Paul as president.

Fast forward to 15 minutes into the video to hear Marc Faber: "Ron Paul would be a very good president.", Europe Celebrates Its Latest Recession With Record High Gas PricesIs China's Yield Curve Signaling A Harder Landing?Guest Post: Counterfeit Value Derivatives: Follow The Bouncing BallAccording to the Bank of International Settlements, as of June 2011 total over-the-counter derivatives contracts have an outstanding notional value of 707.57 trillion dollars, ( 32.4 trillion dollars in CDS’s alone). Where does this kind of money come from, and what does it refer to? We don’t really know, because over-the-counter derivatives are not transparent or regulated. With regulated economic markets, when an underlying real asset is impaired (i.e. the company in question is bankrupt, the mortgage has defaulted, etc.), market value is assessed, default insurance is paid up to replacement or full value, bond holders and stock holders make claims on remaining value and the account is closed. There is no need for bailouts because order and proportion of compensation has been established and everything is attached to the value of the underlying asset. When the unreal, counterfeit economy intrudes, you now have a situation where a person can put in an unregulated, but recognized, claim to be paid a thousand times over in case of impairment. Say market participants have negotiated for a bankrupt company a 70% payback for bondholders and (36% payback for insurance claims), and I come with not one but rather 1,000 CDS claims demanding to be paid for each CDS. , Deconstructing The "Massive Beat" in Employment Data : ilene : 2-3-12  If last week's tax data is indicative of what's ahead this month, the "good news" won't be sustained.  , Why U.S. Unemployment Rate Is 12.1%   http://www.bullseyemicrocaps.com/?p=46058 February 2, 2012 Carlos X.

After all what do we really know about it? The much watched ISM Manufacturing Data (54.1 vs 54.5 consensus and previous 53.1 revised lower) stimulated bulls Wednesday. Cynics believe auto manufacturers are just stuffing inventory to dealers. We’ll see if these cars get sold or not. One thing is clear; it’s easier to buy a car for consumers given industry self-financing than it is to buy a home period. If you have a pulse, you can buy a car. (See U.S. Sector, Stocks & Bond ETFs for GM and linked ETF XLI) Plus owning a new can be more satisfying than most things at least until the new car smell wears off and payments accumulate. Bulls did rally stocks from the opening bell on global manufacturing data including the U.S. ISM report. News that China’s PMI was slightly higher than expected (50.5 versus 50.4 previous) as was Europe’s (48.8 versus 46.9) was part of the stimulant. It may mean no manufacturing slowdown in those regions. Further the eurozone news that Greek debt negotiations with its bond holders would be resolved soon was also bullish. But, later it was announced a settlement may not occur until next week. Where have we heard this stuff before? (See Overseas Sectors & ETFs below for FXI, EZU and EFA).U.S. ADP Employment Data was rather confusing showing a jobs gain of 170K versus the previously revised data (325K to 292K).

And unfortunately as the skeptics expected, GM is back to its old tricks, as dealer inventories rose once again, this time by over 36k units, or the second highest in its post-reorg history, to a near record 619,455 vehicles stored with dealers. This is just the second highest ever in fresh start GM history, second only to November's 623,666. The January-end number represents 89 days supply, but more importantly the recent spike in restocking, which was seen with all other major car dealers, explains the ongoing "expansion" in the US economy as measured by indices such as the ISM.

And that is precisely what the U.S. is doing, borrowing immense sums at every level, private, corporate and State/Federal, all leveraged against phantom future surpluses, even as the economy requires some 10% of its supposed output (GDP) to be borrowed and spent on consumption each and every year just to run in place, i.e. the Red Queen's Race (Bernanke, Goldilocks and The Red Queen January 10, 2011). In other words, the U.S. economy is running a massive deficit, and squandering the vast sums being borrowed on consumption and mal-investments. Once you rely on more borrowing against imaginary future surpluses to fund your current expenses, then eventually the costs of servicing that debt exceeds any possible future surplus. The last-ditch "fix" is to simply print units of money (or borrow it into existence like the Federal Reserve)--counterfeiting, pure and simple-- and deceive the market for a time via the illusion that the freshly printed units of money are actually backed by productive value or surplus. As history has shown, eventually the market discovers the actual value of this counterfeit money, i.e. near-zero, and the system implodes. Once there is no more "free money" to fund consumption and mal-investment, then the reality of systemic insolvency is revealed to all. You cannot counterfeit actual surplus value generated by productive assets, you can only counterfeit proxy claims on future surplus. , Some Good News For Those of Us Who Are Sick of the Corruption February 1st, 2012 http://gainspainscapital.com  http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm   http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm   http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm  ‘At some point someone will talk… and that’s when things will get interesting.The last four years have been something of a high-water mark for corruption in the US.

Negatively affecting the data were lower state and local government spending, private inventory investment and, believe it or not, federal government spending. While the all-important, and much watched by the Fed, PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) was higher it was a disappointment overall. This may reflect what the Fed saw in the data (weak growth) which then caused them to keep interest rates low for a long period.

How anyone could be surprised by this is beyond me. The Fed was admitting that the consequences of QE rendered it less “attractive” as an option as far back as May 2011.Moreover, the last six months have shown the Fed to be relying heavily on verbal intervention rather than direct monetary intervention. Every FOMC meeting (and any time the market takes a dive) some Fed official steps forward and promises that the Fed stands ready to help if needed.The reasons for this are three fold: #1)  Why bother with monetary intervention when you can get the same effect from verbal intervention? #2)  The Fed is too politically toxic now to simply unveil a massive new monetary scheme without a Crisis hitting first. #3)  The Fed is well aware of the consequences of QE (higher food and gas prices) and while it focuses on CPI as the measure of inflation, the political pressure engendered by higher costs of living are certainly on the Fed’s radar. In plain terms, the bar for more QE is set much, much higher than the vast majority of analysts realize. The reason is that the Fed can no longer simply prime up the printing presses if the economy takes a dip.  , Median Single Family Home Price in Terms of Gold Jan 27th, 2012 (Chart of the Day) — Severely depressed real estate prices continue to be a concern for investors. For some perspective on the magnitude of the decline in home prices, today’s chart presents the median single-family home price divided by the price of one ounce of gold. This results in the home / gold ratio or the cost of the median single-family home in ounces of gold. For example, it currently takes a relatively low 105 ounces of gold to buy the median single-family home. This is dramatically less than the 601 ounces it took back in 2001. When priced in gold, the median single-family home is down over 80% from its 2001 peak, remains well within the confines of a six-year accelerated downtrend and remains very near its 1980 trough. http://albertpeia.com/housegold.gif  ,  The Man Without A Plan  http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com http://albertpeia.com/omanwithoutaplan.htm  ‘Barack Obama is a man without a plan.  , Newt Gingrich promises to build a moon colony by 2020; make it a U.S. state [ Wow!

I also believe american technology beyond the hype to be horrendous.

Peter Thiel - A cofounder of PayPal and early investor in Facebook, Peter Thiel is worried technological progress has stalled, a running theme of his speeches and interviews in 2011. Without more rapid advances, "people will have a lower quality of life, where people won't be able to retire, where governments are pushed toward more and more austerity," he told Bloomberg Businessweek in February. "That will lead to a more constrained, pessimistic future." Thiel has funded a variety of unconventional research projects because he says run-of-the-mill technology doesn't impress him. He told the New Yorker in November he doesn't consider the iPhone a "technological breakthrough." , Sundance opens with eye on broken American dreams  , McAfee software bug could turn customers' PCs into spam servers (Reuters) ,  [video] Bullish Trend Not Backed By Volume TheStreet ,  Debt Crisis Worsens, Stocks Up Anyway http://www.buzzbox.com/news/2012-01-19/fitch-ratings:russia/?clusterId=7993066  By Ian Wyatt: Russia is the latest victim of the global debt crisis. , What were Neanderthals like to hang out with? — New Scientist   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328470.400-into-the-mind-of-a-neanderthal.html?full=true   http://albertpeia.com/neanderthals11812.htm  ,   Warning Signs That We Should Prepare For The Worst   http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com    http://albertpeia.com/prepareforworst.htm  ‘The warning signs are all around us.  All we have to do is open up our eyes and look at them.  Almost every single day there are more prominent voices in the financial world telling us that a massive economic crisis is coming and that we need to prepare for the worst.  On Wednesday, it was the World Bank itself that issued a very chilling warning.  In an absolutely startling report, the World Bank revised GDP growth estimates for 2012 downward very sharply, warned that Europe could be on the verge of a devastating financial crisis, and declared that the rest of the world better "prepare for the worst." , "Apocalypse How?

I am deeply confused as to the timing of the perception of an Iranian threat, right now at this critical moment of economic weakness. The very last thing the world economies need is a vastly increased price for oil, which is precisely what a war with Iran will deliver.. The US has already committed acts of war against Iran.. At least if Iran had violated US airspace with stealth drones and then signed into law the equivalent of the recent US bill that will freeze any and all financial institutions that deal with Iran out of US financial markets, we could be quite confident that these would be perceived as acts of war against the US by Iran.

Every three months, he supplies updated analysis on two of the parameters he and his associates have computed that have historically had a strong track record in predicting the course of stock prices over an appropriate period of time… Here is his description, with an update to account for stock prices just a bit lower than year-end prices:With the publication of the Flow of Funds data up to 30th September, 2011 (on 8th December, 2011) we have updated our calculations for q and CAPE. There has been a 1.6% rise in net worth over the quarter, due to a rise of 10.7% in the current value of real estate. This was despite a downward revision to net worth in Q2 2011 of 1.4%, mainly due to an upward revision of 2.8% in debt.Both q and CAPE include data for the year ending 30th September, 2011. (99% of EPS for the S&P 500 being available by 8th December, 2011). At that date the S&P 500 was at 1131.42 and US non-financials were overvalued by 26.5% according to q and quoted shares, including financials, were overvalued by 37.5% according to CAPE. (It should be noted that we use geometric rather than arithmetic means in our calculations.)As at 8th December, 2011 with the S&P 500 at 1234.35 the overvaluation by the relevant measures was 38% for non-financials and 50% for quoted shares.Although the overvaluation of the stock market is well short of the extremes reached at the year ends of 1929 and 1999, it has reached the other previous peaks of 1906, 1936 and 1968…’ , Psychopaths Caused the Financial Crisis … And They Will Do It Again and Again Unless They Are Removed From Power : George Washington : 01/03/2012  The Inmates Are Running the Asylum , On The World's Reserve Currency: What's Past Is EpilogueSimply put, "it does not last for ever" should be ringing in the ears of every investor in the world with more than a few millisecond return horizon… But it is JPMorgan's Michael Cembalest who frames it the best, "I am reminded of the following remark from late MIT economist Rudiger Dornbusch: 'Crisis takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you would have thought.'" , US Closes 2011 With Record $15.22 Trillion In Debt, Officially At 100.3% Debt/GDP, $14 Billion From Breaching Debt CeilingGlobal Bond Issuance To Top A Staggering $8 Trillion In 2012 ,  Would A Ponzi By Any Other Name Smell As Bad?The bond market has always had clever names for bonds in specific markets.  Eurobonds, Yankee bonds, Samurai bonds, and now, Ponzi bonds.  I’m not sure what else to call these new bonds, but Ponzi bonds seems as good as anything. NBG issued these bonds to themselves, got a Greek government guarantee (how can a country that can’t borrow, provide a guarantee?) and took these bonds to the ECB to get some financing. , Guest Post: War Imminent In Straits Of Hormuz? $200 A Barrel Oil?The Ministry Of Propaganda Declares Ron Paul "Unelectable"Presenting 2011's Top 10 Most Corrupt American PoliticiansGuest Post: The Circling Black Swans Of 2012 If we had to summarize the Status Quo's confidence that no black swans will threaten its control in 2012, we might begin with its faith that the system's self-regulation will resolve all systemic challenges. Just as the Status Quo has placed all its chips on a single bet--that "growth" from debt-based consumption can be resumed with vast public borrowing and saving the predatory financial sector--it also bases its confidence on the system's self-regulation. If the banking sector is riddled with fraud and embezzlement, then some minor tweaking of regulation will solve all issues. If demand for debt has collapsed, then the solution is for the Federal Government to borrow 10% of GDP every year to compensate for the decline of private debt and spending. The faith is that extending and pretending will magically restore the "growth" the Status Quo needs to support its ballooning debt. Extending and pretending offers up the compelling illusion that the system's broken self-regulation is up to the task of fixing systemic problems. In the darkness overhead, we can hear the beating of unseen wings that promise to make a mockery of the Status Quo's supreme Imperial hubris’ , European Economy Contracts For Fifth Month In A Row, More Pain Ahead, Spain Releases Another Stunner: Deficit Could Be Greater Than 8% Of GDPDeposits With ECB Decline By €30 Billion In New Year, Still Near All Time RecordRatio: 3.5 Million Homeless and 18.5 Million Vacant Homes in the US Crooks and Liars , New Asian Union Means The Fall Of The Dollar Brandon Smith , Gloomsday: Germany and Europe Expect a Tough 2012 Jan 2nd, 2012 (Der Spiegel) , Austerity Reigns Over Euro Zone as Crisis Deepens Jan 2nd, 2012 (New York Times) , The Casino Gulag Model with Max Keiser The Alex Jones Channel | Former trader Max Keiser joins Alex to discuss the imploding economy. , Catherine Austin Fitts on Wall Street’s Corruption, the Austrian School and Who’s ‘Really’ in Charge Daily Bell , Total Collapse of The Dollar and Skyrocketing Oil Prices in 2012: Lindsey Williams Reports , Insane Levels of Leverage by the Too Big to Fail Banks – Not Deadbeat Borrowers – Caused the Financial Crisis Washington’s Blog , Collapse of the Eurozone ‘will start this year’ as countries pull out of the single currency, leading think tank warns UK Daily Mail , 6 Reasons Why Buying A Home Is Like Throwing Away Money , 2012 Will Be More Difficult Than 2011 http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/ Do you believe that 2012 will be more difficult for the global economy than 2011 was?  Well, that is what German Chancellor Angela Merkel believes.  The woman that has become the most important politician in Europe recently declared that 2012 "will no doubt be more difficult than 2011".  The funny thing is that she has generally been one of the most optimistic public figures in Europe throughout this debt crisis.  But now even Merkel is openly admitting that 2012 is going to be a really, really bad year…’  , Guest Post: A Run On The Global Banking System - How Close Are We?Nine weeks after its bankruptcy, the general public still hasn’t quite realized the implications of the MF Global scandal… That’s why we’re pulling out our money now—while we still can.

If Abbey Joseph Cohen had been right for the last twelve years, the S&P 500 would be 4,000. For this level of accuracy, she is paid millions. Her 2011 prediction of 1,500 only missed by16%. The S&P 500 began the year at 1,258 and hasn’t budged. The lowest prediction from the Wall Street shysters at the outset of the year was 1,333, with the majority between 1,400 and 1,500. The same Wall Street clowns are now being quoted in the mainstream media predicting a 10% to 15% increase in stock prices in 2012, despite the fact we are headed back into recession, China’s property bubble has burst, and Europe teeters on the brink of dissolution. They lie on behalf of their Too Big To Tell the Truth employers by declaring stocks undervalued, when honest analysts such as Jeremy Grantham, John Hussman and Robert Shiller truthfully report that stocks are overvalued and will provide pitiful returns over the next year and the next decade.’, As '11 Ends, 11 Charts Of 11 Disturbing 11 Year TrendsGuest Post: New Asian Union Means The Fall Of The Dollar Foreigners Dump Record Amount Of US Treasurys In Past MonthRefinery Crunch In EuropeA few weeks ago we discussed the pressure the Greeks were under to source their energy needs from Iran since no one else would extend them credit.

And it's not pretty: for all those hoping that the Labor Participation Rate fudge that managed to stun the world a few weeks ago with a major drop in the November jobless rate, don't hold your breath. Gallup which constantly pools 30,000 people on a weekly basis, has found that for the past 4 weeks, both underemployment and unemployment have risen for 4 weeks in a row. And while the number of US workers "working part time and wanting full-time work" one of the traditional short cuts to boosting US jobs has risen to almost a 2 year high, it is the Job Creation Index in December which plunged in the last week, confirming that the Initial Claims data out of the BLS has been spurious and is likely to revert back over 400k on short notice. In summary, here is how Gallup debunks the BLS' propganda…’, A Quick And Dirty Look At Japan's Nearly ¥1 Quadrillion In Debt ,  Santa Claus Is Not Coming to Town, Says Technical Analyst (Bartels/Merrill Lynch) The Wall Street Journal  Gongloff ‘…Last week the S&P 500 fell below its 50-day moving average, which is the new level to watch — 1228. A failure to move above and hold the 50-day moving average confirms to us that we have already begun to enter the phase of testing the October lows near 1100-1074.This pattern is becoming eerily similar to 2008 into 2009. A base building process has been underway since August but we have maintained the belief that the lows still need to be tested and undercuts to 985-935 are possible (50% probability) as part of this process…’  , When "Positive Surprises" Are Surprisingly Meaningless’ http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc111219.htm   December 19, 2011 John P. Hussman, Ph.D ‘... As economist John Williams observes, "starting in October, a divergence developed: Whereas year-to-year change in BLS estimated payroll earnings continued at a more-or-less constant, positive level, tax receipts fell quite markedly. Where the Treasury numbers reflect full reporting, the BLS data are sampled, heavily modeled and usually heavily revised. The implication is that the BLS has overstated average earnings and payrolls meaningfully in recent months."… An important point here is that almost no current investors have experienced this more typical 1970's-type market setback. When one of these old fashioned but typical declines occurs, professional investors, conditioned by our more recent ephemeral bear markets, will have a permanent built-in expectation of an imminent recovery that will not come. "For the record, Exhibit 1 shows what the S&P 500 might look like from today if it followed the average flight path of the 10 burst bubbles described above. Not very pretty." http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc111219c.jpg  We can't disagree, though I also believe there still remains some short-run ability of policymakers to distort market forces, to badly misallocate capital in the process, and to wreck the economy more thoroughly in the long-run… FACING A GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOWNTURN In the past few months, our own measures of economic risk have remained persistently unfavorable.. The OECD publishes its own set of leading economic indicators on developed and developing countries.

Actually, make that the world and modern civilization. Why? Because while we sympathize with England, and are stunned by the immature petulant response from France and its head banker Christian Noyer to the threat of an imminent S&P downgrade of its overblown AAA rating, the truth is that France is actually 100% correct in telling the world to shift its attention from France and to Britain. So why is this bad. Because as the chart below shows, if there is anything the global financial system needs, is for the rating agencies, bond vigilantes, and lastly, general public itself, to realize that the UK's consolidated debt (non-financial, financial, government and household) to GDP is... just under 1000%. That's right: the UK debt, when one adds to its more tenable sovereign debt tranche all the other debt carried on UK books (and thus making the transfer of private debt to the public balance sheet impossible), is nearly ten times greater than the country's GDP…’ , Goldman's Take On TARGET2 And How The Bundesbank Will Suffer Massive Losses If The Eurozone Fails Two weeks ago in "Has The Imploding European Shadow Banking System Forced The Bundesbank To Prepare For Plan B?" we suggested that according to recent fund flow data, "the Bundesbank wants slowly and quietly out." , The MF Global Trade Is Not Coming To (European) Town - Why The ECB's 3 Year LTRO Is The Latest Bailout FlopOn Friday, as the Eurobond market was briefly soaring, we attributed the move to sentiment that was best captured by a note out of Morgan Stanley's govvie desk: "The carry trade is happening, there is no doubt about it…, Things That Make You Go Hmmm - Such As Europe's "Comprehensive Solution" Five months ago, Zero Hedge first boiled down the math of the European bailout as follows: "The Fatal Flaw In Europe's Second "Bazooka" Bailout: 82 Million Soon To Be Very Angry Germans, Or How Euro Bailout #2 Could Cost Up To 56% Of German GDP." ,  Guest Post: America’s Iraq Experience: Invasi-Eradicavi-Turbavi  Julius Caesar undoubtedly was showing off with his Veni-Vidi-Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered) when referencing to his short war outside Zela (Zile) in Turkey over two millennia ago.  Similarly, if we were to use a short catchy-comment for the almost nine years America has invested in its “Iraq Mission,” we would be on target by condensing the US experience in also three Latin words, although not as melodic this time: Invasi-Eradicavi-Turbavi which sadly stand for, I invaded, I destroyed and I threw-into-chaos. No matter what the Pentagon and White House tell us, the fiasco in Iraq likely stands as the most costly mistake in America’s history, a true Keystone Kops type of political dark comedy.  And it wasn’t a bad or flawed decision by a singular moron or group of morons – Bush the Younger, Sadist Cheney and Loquacious Rumsfeld composing the original warpath triumvirate, together with two dozen equally deranged staff of their inner circles.  Unfortunately, this time Congress, together with a brainwashed public, closed rank with an evil and criminal White House.  So, whether the American citizenry likes it or not… the Iraq conflict wasn’t just Bush’s war, but “the peoples’ war,” a war with a dangerous aftermath yet to come, one we’ll likely be paying for in the future with additional blood and treasure. , Newspaper Chaired By Private Equity Head Shockingly Endorses Mitt Romney For President; Ron Paul On Jay Leno   A few hours ago the Des Moines Register threw its support behind the Bain Capital founder, and the man now known to have actively destroyed any trace of his public "service" before his 2007 Massachusettes office handover (with a pending response to a Reuters FOIA, which will disclose just what it was that Romney was so tenuously shredding)… , Graham Summers’ Weekly Market Forecast (Deflation’s Back Edition)  http://gainspainscapital.com December 19th, 2011 The markets have entered a new round of deflation.

Misdiagnoses and inadequate policy responses allowed the contamination to travel sequentially from the outer reaches of the zone (Greece, Ireland, and Portugal) toward its inner core.In this first of three morphings in 2011, Italy and Spain were disrupted as interest rates soared, turning liquidity concerns into solvency ones. France was then impacted, with its AAA rating threatened by its exposure to the neighborhood’s problems. Then Germany, Europe’s strongest economy and the one that everyone looks to for a solution, had to contend with the embarrassing failure of a highly visible government debt auction. …These are consequential developments whose impact will be felt for years, and the latter is not limited to Europe.

We rallied initially on better economic data (below) but there’s a dark cloud over the market and quadwitching is ahead Friday. Adding to the uncertainty was influential Goldman Sachs strategist Jan Hatzius who commented: "A reduction in the lending of foreign banks to U.S. counterparties could have a meaningful impact on U.S. growth." He continued to assert that ongoing upheavals in the eurozone could shave 1% off U.S. GDP growth which frankly would put is in or near recession. And, per Hatzius, Goldman Sachs estimates U.S. banks are exposed to (gulp!) $1.8 trillion of counterparty risk from euro banks. Funny thing Bernanke and Geithner didn’t mention this to us. Further, the OECD warned that 2012 will see a potential funding crisis for developed countries with (cough!) $10.5 trillion in borrowing needs.Economic news was positive as Jobless Claims were lower at 366K; however, inside the numbers things were somewhat worse.

While much has been said about the vagaries in the European repo market elsewhere, the truth is that the intraday variations of assorted daily metrics thereof indicate three simple things: a scarcity of quality assets that can be pledged at various monetary institutions in exchange for cash or synthetic cash equivalents, a resulting lock up in interbank liquidity, and above all, a gradual freeze of the shadow banking system..we may be experiencing the attempt by the last safe European central bank - Buba - to disintermediate itself from the slow motion trainwreck that is the European shadow banking (first) and then traditional banking collapse (second and last).

What we find here is rather different from what the BLS, and the administration would like us to believe, namely that "underemployment, a measure that combines the percentage of workers who are unemployed with the percentage working part time but wanting full-time work, is 18.1% in November, as measured by Gallup without seasonal adjustment. That is up from 17.8% a month ago and 17.2% a year ago."

Goldman's involvement in Solyndra, and its lofty valuation projections, lent credibility to the company and helped rouse investor interest and it was this private interest that was cited by DoE officials as a considerable factor in its loan guarantee program.

But, we’re long so I shouldn’t complain too much even though emotionally there isn’t much to like overall. The only bullish thing is the action of the tape and this is the season when bulls can make their year. Speaking of HFTs and algos, HFT issues are thoroughly covered with HFT Alert founder Steve Hammer and myself in the video interview below. The presentation contains two parts: the first outlines HFT basics—how they work and their controversial impact on financial markets. The second part we discuss how traders can benefit or make money by using HFT Alert’s unique trading services. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NzfmT4vGXZY [ ‘Off to the golf course’, indeed. Those are Mr. Hammer’s concluding remarks. Not because he’s a trader, but because he’s selling this ‘very functional in terms of what’s going on’ package. The truth is that even today, at lightning speeds, there are very few successful traders (as distinguished from investors, and there is a huge distinction, though much less so today)(over the longer term and is akin to the apposite old adage, ‘you can win a race but you can’t win at the races’). Indeed, some companies / brokerages employ them just for the volume / commissions they produce. Most telling, in this video, is the beginning wherein it’s explained that in literally a second(s), mere quotes can give rise to revenue (as with commissions, pieces of the action) which has to come from someplace. The problem is that ultimately, this ‘churn-and-action’ computer programmed action at ‘lightning speed’ is parasitic inasmuch as it is without any economic utility whatsoever in real economic terms as are commissions in ‘after-market stock trading’ (as distinguished from initial ipo’s) that are tantamount to a tax on the real economy; hence, the benefit to the frauds on wall street at the expense of and to the detriment of main street, taxpayers, and the populace in general, as we’ve seen and continue to see. Remember, 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. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are’.

There’s plenty to mock in this world, and Greece is hardly the nation to be doing the mocking. I think it’s the markets that are mocking the rest of the world’s stupidity for buying into this false reality / obfuscation / fraud, particularly by way of the now pervasive worldwide acceptance of the american strategy of currency debasement which really is a fraud facilitator because it masks to all but the intelligent few the underlying economic weakness and decline. A simplistic example, though not perfect, is apropos here: a company sells a product for 1 dollar which costs 1 dollar to make (assuming arguendo to cover fixed expenses - no profit). The fed over-printing / creating dollars like mad to the point where it now takes 2 dollars to render the same purchasing power of  1 dollar when the goods were produced. The company sells the products for 2 dollars (the previous equivalent of 1 dollar before debasement). The company is now showing earnings 1 dollar per unit sold, yet in real terms, they’ve gotten no more than the equivalent of that 1 dollar per unit. (If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, particularly the last 1-2 months, I’ve found meats, etc., to be up 50-100%, etc.). The same obfuscating manipulations are applicable to assets generally, and to those pieces of paper called stocks which are even ‘worse for the wear’ since churn-and-earn commissions at lightning computerized speed are being subtracted from this illusory ‘enhanced value’ which in reality doesn’t exist at all. ( Such manipulations from currency translation also provide ‘arbitrage opportunities’ though similarly largely ultimately subtracted from no real value being created. ) This is why fraudulent wall street loves the fed’s QE’s and dollar debasement / over-printing / creating and also why it’s been a dismal failure and a net negative in real economic terms as seen on main street and in the decimation of the middle class and growing ranks of the poor. In the analysis of securities, this would be considered ‘the quality of earnings factor’ that goes into the assignment of a p/e multiple to the projected earnings. Sufficeth to say, this is no longer done on wall street in any real or legitimate fashion, if at all. Indeed, it’s a fair statement to say that security analysis is no longer a ‘practice’ as same was considered, once upon a time, by value investors / analysts. As set forth by Dave and Cooper, infra, computerized programmed manipulation at lightning speed has been expedient in the short run for the wall street frauds but ultimately leads to the inevitable crash since as I often reiterate: Remember, 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. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are’.

Art Cashin On The Most Important History Lesson Of The Last Century Oct 13th, 2011 08:40 by News  ZeroHedge) — Today, instead of the traditional market observations by the Chairman of the Fermentation Committee, we share with readers a critical historical lesson from Art Cashin, focusing on an event that took place 89 years ago, which as Cashin says “one of the most devastating economic events in recorded history and an important backdrop to Europe today. It all began with the efforts of a few, well intentioned government officials.” Many will know what we are talking about already…Originally, on this day (-2) in 1922, the German Central Bank and the German Treasury took an inevitable step in a process which had begun with their previous effort to “jump start” a stagnant economy. Many months earlier they had decided that what was needed was easier money. Their initial efforts brought little response. So, using the governmental “more is better” theory they simply created more and more money. But economic stagnation continued and so did the money growth. They kept making money more available. No reaction. Then, suddenly prices began to explode unbelievably (but, perversely, not business activity).[source] PG View: The hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic is unquestionably Germany’s defining economic moment, much like the Great Depression is ours. It goes a long way toward explaining why Germany continues to balk at further bailouts, leveraging, bond buying and expansive liquidity measures; they understandably fear the inflation. Keynsian thinking says governments should be printing and spending like mad in the face of grim growth prospects and an impending banking crisis, but German’s recall all-to readily that when über-easy monetary policy gets out of control, things can go from bad to catastrophic in a heartbeat. Cashin’s piece is indeed an important history lesson we all should take heed of. For further insight into the Weimar hyperinflation, be sure to read The Nightmare German Inflation. Previous:The latest b***s*** story into the close is ‘rich’, but not as in wealthy. One interviewee / pundit even preposterously referred to the ‘Marco Polo effect’, viz., that communist China’s rumored to be about to save one of the PIIGS, italy … but who’s going to save communist china … really … some very bad karma for communist china just ‘round the corner! Don’t forget, the market’s rallied literally many hundreds of points owing to that spin / b***s*** called the ‘euro solution’, etc., which of course, never existed in reality, but great ‘fraud’ points (that computerized hf commissioned churn-and-earn, up and down, get you now and get you later). Then the so-called ‘technical support’ levels … based on much worse than spun fundamentals / reality. It’s the other way around, fools … fundamentals create technical support levels, not vice versa.

Obama's Legacy: A Failed Recovery & Double-Dip Recession  Forbes / Mariotti  ‘…There will be no significant recovery in the United States of America while Barack Obama is President.  The evidence is overwhelming:  everything Obama has tried to fuel a recovery (with his Democratic allies in Congress) has failed.  Statistics claiming jobs saved by the stimulus package were mostly fiction, and cost American taxpayers about $275,000 each.  Nearly 2-1/2 million fewer Americans have jobs than before the stimulus. Barack Obama has been President for 30 months—2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list.  At some point, his statute of limitations on blaming Bush runs out…’   ,   The Bear Market Rally Has Begun at Minyanville   Toby Connor Aug 30, 2011 ‘…Investors need to be prepared.

And like all bear markets it will be subject to violent countertrend rallies that toy with traders' emotions, and ultimately cause investors to ride the bear all the way to the bottom…’    Scandal scarred commerce dept. report on consumer spending with anemic income figures (typically as always unworthy of belief as unbelievable anything the government says in their desperation) spurs suckers’ rally (along with some short covering) to suck suckers in and keep suckers sucked in.  Massive Understatement: Mohamed El-Erian’s reply to Frank Motek 1070am regarding particularly the 300+ point swing to the upside today, ‘(they’re) confused’! Indeed they are! But when you’re commissioning those manipulated computer programmed high-frequency-trade swings, churning and earning at lightning speed, such euphemistic criticism falls short with the impact of water off a duck’s back.      Moreover, how pathetic are they, those Pavlov dogs on wall street salivating at the mere prospect of a QE handout ultimately at taxpayer expense, in one form or another. Even more pathetic is the so-called ‘rally’ based on a purported rethink of fedspeak alleged  to be so filled with ‘ latent / hidden ‘ meaning of a form of QE welfare down the road. Those pathetic ‘titans of capitalism’; aka, the frauds of wall street.  Never mind that the QE’s have failed miserably and at great costs (inflation, financial, economic, etc.) and detriment to all but the frauds on wall street by way of their manipulated computer-programmed ( high frequency trading) commissioned churn-and-earn. Wall street’s rise has been among the causes of and comcomitant to america’s decline / demise. Remember, 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. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are.

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.”…’

Take A Lesson From 2007 And Sell Stocks Now at Forbes, Sean Hanlon ‘August has given new meaning to “the dog days of summer” as the broad equity market has retracted all year-to-date gains and dropped into negative territory, all within the first couple weeks.

As written in my previous Market Commentary on July 20, our research uncovered potentially dangerous activity in the equity markets that could lead to a break and high volatility.  We presented this in that Market Commentary by the chart in Figure 1 below.  Using our proprietary research methodologies, we elected to make a major “tactical” move on June 17.

That move reduced all equity and high-yield bond exposure, creating 50% cash or cash equivalent allocations across all portfolios. This defensive move was shown to be prudent as volatility erupted and considerable downside was experienced in equity markets in the first week of August, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1 (click image to enlarge.)

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/08/11.jpg

With this heightened volatility, we were observant that this market behavior was eerily similar to market conditions in 2007. To elaborate on this point, let’s compare the S&P 500 Index for 2007 vs. the first seven months of 2011.  As you can see below in Figure 2, 2007 experienced high volatility yet remained range-bound in an upward trend (represented by the overlaid black bands).

Figure 2 (click image to enlarge.)

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/advisor/files/2011/08/2.jpg

 

The first half of 2011 maintained a range-bound upward trend until finally breaking sharply to the downside in the first week of August.

Of course now everyone wants to know what happens next?  Our research has no special predictive power of what may happen now that the “trend” has been broken. Instead, what our research is telling us is to remain extremely cautious at this time.  We have since moved client portfolios to almost 100% money markets and/or cash equivalents in all accounts.  We do maintain some high quality bond positions.

You may think “But I can’t make any money in money markets, they pay nothing these days!”  True enough, but there are many times in one’s investing lifetime where the best investment is to simply maintain principal.  That principal amount will be able to potentially purchase more in the not too distant future.

A simple example is stocks.  On April 29 of this year, $1,340 purchased the equivalent of one S&P 500 Index share.  Today, to own those same companies that make up the S&P 500 Index, the cost is below $1,200, yet the same amount of dividends is being received.  In this period preserving principal has resulted in increased “investment” purchasing power, income and potentially increased return.

Guest Post: Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit PolicyCounterfeiting is illegal because it is the false creation of value. The counterfeiter takes low-value paper and turns it into high-value money, which is fundamentally a claim on the real productive value of the economy that issues the currency and recognizes it as a proxy means of exchanging that productive value. Counterfeiting is illegal because the counterfeiter creates no additional value--he creates only the proxy for value. Creating real value--adding meaningful goods or services to the economy--is tedious, hard work. How much easier to simply transform near-worthless paper into a claim on actual goods and services.  If this is illegal, then would somebody please arrest the Board of the Federal Reserve for counterfeiting? The Fed has blatantly printed money without creating any real value to back up their added claims on productive value. Hence they are counterfeiting, pure and simple. A government based on rule of law would arrest these fraudsters and cons at the earliest possible convenience.

95 Percent Of The Jobs Lost During The Recession Were Middle Class Jobs

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/95percentofjobslostmiddleclass.htm

‘Who is the biggest loser in the ongoing decline of the U.S. economy?  Is it the wealthy?  No, the stock market has been soaring lately and their incomes are actually going up.  Is it the poor?  Well, the poor are definitely hurting very badly, but when you don't have much to begin with you don't have much to lose.  Unfortunately, it is the middle class that has lost the most during this economic downturn.  According to Bloomberg, 95 percent of the jobs lost during the recession were middle class jobs.  That is an absolutely astounding figure.  Yes, some executives lost their jobs during the last recession as did some minimum-wage workers.  But overwhelmingly the jobs that were lost were middle income jobs.  Sadly, the limited number of jobs that have been added since the end of the last recession have mostly been low income jobs.  A higher percentage of Americans are working low income jobs than ever before, and the cost of living continues to rise at a very brisk pace.  This is causing an erosion of the middle class unlike anything we have ever seen in American history.

When I was growing up I was taught that the fact that we had the largest middle class in the history of the world was evidence that our economic system was working incredibly well.

So what does the fact that the middle class is shrinking at a very rapid pace at this point say about how well our economy is working?

Middle Class Incomes Are Going Down

During the last recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs and the percentage of working age Americans that have jobs has not bounced back in the years since the recession ended.

But most middle class Americans still have jobs.  The big problem for many middle class families is the fact that their incomes are not going up.  In fact, after you account for inflation, middle class incomes are actually way down during the Obama years as a recent Bloomberg article explained....

As a candidate in 2008, Obama blamed the reversals largely on the policies of Bush and other Republicans. He cited census figures showing that median income for working-age households -- those headed by someone younger than 65 -- had dropped more than $2,000 after inflation during the first seven years of Bush’s time in office.

Yet real median household income in March was down $4,300 since Obama took office in January 2009 and down $2,900 since the June 2009 start of the economic recovery, according to an analysis of census data by Sentier Research, an economic- consulting firm in Annapolis, Maryland.

So is this the "hope and change" that Obama was talking about?

But let's not just blame Obama and Bush.  The truth is that the trend toward lower paying jobs has been going on for a very long time.

Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

So where will it end?

Will 50 percent or 60 percent of all Americans soon be working low income jobs?

At this point, approximately one out of every four jobs in America pays $10 an hour or less.

Could your family survive on $10 an hour?

The Rising Cost Of Living

As middle class incomes go down, the cost of almost everything that middle class families buy continues to go up.

The Federal Reserve claims that it has kept inflation "low" for decades, but that is a giant lie.

When you take a look at the long-term picture, it is amazing how much prices have changed.

Back in 1950, the average price of a new car was $1,510.

Today, the average price of a new car is $30,748.

In 1967, yearly tuition at Yale was $1,950.

Today it is $38,300.

And inflation continues to take a great toll on the paychecks of middle class families.

For example, electricity bills in the U.S. have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row.

Also, the price of gas has risen by more than 100 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House and the average U.S. household spent a staggering $4,155 on gasoline during 2011.

The Destruction Of Middle Class Wealth

What is the number one financial asset for most middle class families?

Most middle class families don't have a lot of stocks, bonds or other financial assets.

Instead, normally the family home is the number one financial asset for most middle class families, and in recent years the value of that asset has been absolutely decimated.

When you take inflation into account, housing prices have fallen all the way back to 1998 levels.  The following is from a recent Smart Money article....

The latest S&P / Case-Shiller numbers, reported last week, show that prices in 20 major markets declined 3.5% over the year through February. They're now back to 2002 levels. If we subtract for inflation, they're back to 1998 levels.

Overall, home prices in the U.S. have declined for six months in a row and are now down a total of 35 percent from the peak of the housing bubble.

Unfortunately, things don't look like they are going to turn around any time soon.  Yale economics professor Robert Shiller recently said the following about U.S. home prices....

"I worry that we might not see a really major turnaround in our lifetimes"

But falling home prices are not the only problem we are witnessing.  We are also seeing millions of middle class families lose their homes.

According to the U.S. Census, homeownership in America is now at the lowest level it has been in 15 years.

According to Gallup, the current level of homeownership in the United States is the lowest that Gallup has ever measured.

Owning your own home is an indication that you are part of the middle class, and so the fact that the number of Americans that own a home is falling rapidly is not a good sign for the health of the middle class at all.

The Future Is Not Bright

Those that are graduating from college right now are supposed to be the future of the middle class in America.

But for most of those college graduates, the future is not so bright.  Last year, a staggering 53 percent of all U.S. college graduates under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed.

Millions of young college graduates have been forced to take jobs that do not even require a college degree.  Just check out the following stats from a recent CNBC article....

In the last year, they were more likely to be employed as waiters, waitresses, bartenders and food-service helpers than as engineers, physicists, chemists and mathematicians combined (100,000 versus 90,000). There were more working in office-related jobs such as receptionist or payroll clerk than in all computer professional jobs (163,000 versus 100,000).

Aren't those numbers crazy?

The truth is that a college education is no longer a ticket to the middle class.

What Happens To Americans That Fall Out Of The Middle Class?

As the middle class shrinks, the ranks of the "low income" and "the poor" are absolutely swelling.

Today, approximately 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be "low income" or are living in poverty.

That is almost half the country.

Each year, millions more fall out of the middle class.  In 2010, 2.6 million more Americans fell into poverty.  That was the biggest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

As the middle class shrinks, the number of Americans dependent on the government for survival rises.  Right now, government dependence is at an all-time high and things are only going to get worse from here.

In November 2008 (when Barack Obama won the election), 30.8 million Americans were on food stamps.  Today, more than 46 million Americans are on food stamps.

Will we eventually see 50 million or 60 million Americans on food stamps?

The U.S. economy desperately needs more middle class jobs.

Unfortunately, the Republicans failed to generate them under George W. Bush and the Democrats failed to generate them under Barack Obama.

Instead, both parties continue to promote the politics of division and they both continue to push for more of the same policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

Nothing is being done to solve our problems and so the middle class in America is going to be even smaller by this time next year.

If you still have a spot in the middle class, hold on to it as tightly as you can.  It is not as secure as you might think.’

 

 

 

New study: High U.S. debt levels could mean a quarter century of weak growth

May 1st, 2012 12:44 by News

01-May (The American Enterprise Institute) — Economists Carmen Reinhart, Vincent R. Reinhart, and Kenneth Rogoff (from here on out referred to as R3) have a new study out looking at the economic impact of high debt levels:

– We identify 26 episodes of public debt overhang–where debt to GDP ratios exceed 90% of GDP–since 1800. We find that in 23 of these 26 episodes, individual countries experienced lower growth than the average of other years. Across all 26 episodes, growth is lower by an average of 1.2%.

– If this effect sounds modest, consider that the average duration of debt overhang episodes was 23 years. In 11 of the 26 high debt overhang episodes, real interest rates were the same or lower than in other periods.

RBA finally concedes it has lost the banks

May 1st, 2012 12:14 by News

01-MAy (Herald Sun) — The Reserve Bank has conceded Australia’s lending giants have irrevocably broken step, slashing the official interest rate in an attempt to lower “real” borrowing rates.

And the central bank has all but acknowledged that it should have trimmed the cash rate last month as fresh cracks started to emerge in the global and Australian economies, analysts say.

The cut of half a percentage point is the biggest unleashed by the RBA since the financial crisis.

It takes the cash rate to 3.75 per cent – only the second time in the modern history of the central bank that the rate has fallen below 4 per cent.

The first was at the nadir of the crisis.

None of the major banks had declared last night how much of the cut they intended to pass on, although economists and banking analysts broadly warned they were unlikely to pass on more than 40 basis points.

Why U.S. House Prices Won’t Recover Hough: Taking inflation into account, U.S. home prices are down to 1895 levels.

May 1st, 2012 11:58 by News

01-May (SmartMoney) — When will U.S. house prices recover? Likely never. But that’s no reason not to buy.

The latest S&P / Case-Shiller numbers, reported last week, show that prices in 20 major markets declined 3.5% over the year through February. They’re now back to 2002 levels. If we subtract for inflation, they’re back to 1998 levels.

But consider: After subtracting for inflation, prices are also back to 1986 levels. And 1955 levels. And 1895 levels (see chart).

http://albertpeia.com/HousingInflation.gif

That’s because the natural rate of price appreciation for houses is zero after inflation. Prices will eventually stop falling. They’ll resume rising. But over the long term, they’re unlikely to resume rising faster than inflation.

[source]

PG View: This article suggests that housing is not a terribly efficient inflation hedge. While gold is undervalued as well when adjusted for inflation, it is a significantly more liquid asset.

Morning Snapshot

May 1st, 2012 10:20 by News


01-May (USAGOLD) — Gold has been somewhat choppy again this morning; coming in higher initially on a weaker dollar and then selling off on the April ISM beat, only to recover into stable territory. The yellow metal remains firmly entrenched within the broad range defined by the 1920.50 high from September 2011 and the 1522.40 low from December. Yet as my colleagues and I discussed in the latest USAGOLD VideoRoundtable, there may be reason to believe that the protracted period of consolidation may not last through the summer.

Persistent expectations that the Fed will launch additional quantitative measures may ultimately prove to be the catalyst for such a breakout. These expectations have served to put a floor under the market, protecting the low end the range. With the number of double-dipping economies in Europe on the rise, it may be just a matter of time before the entire EU is back in recession. This risks pulling the US back into recession as well, and last week’s US Q1 GDP miss may be a harbinger of just such a reality.

Japan remains a mess with their economy continuing to contract. The BoJ announced additional asset purchases late last week, because the past 20-years of ZIRP and QE have proven so successful (not!) that they may as well keep going to the same well. On top of that, concerns about a hard-landing in China linger, despite some indications to the contrary.

Even commodity based economies are starting to feel the pinch. Canadian GDP for February came in at a weaker than expected -0.2%, dashing hopes for an imminent BoC rate hike. The Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest rates a larger than expected 50 bps today on rising risks to growth.

More debt. More ZIRP. More QE. More currency printing. And I’m not just talking about here in the US. I’m talking a global reality check. Everything that has taken gold from just over $300 a decade ago to more than $1900 last September is still very much going on, and may be on the verge of accelerating dramatically in the coming months. There is every reason to believe that the present consolidation is simply a pause withing the long-term trend.

Total US Debt Soars To 101.5% Of GDP

There is nothing quite like a $70 billion debt auction settlement at the last day of a month to bring total US debt to a record $15.692 trillion, which happens to be just $600 billion shy of the $16.394 trillion debt ceiling. (and no, contrary to simple economic textbook lesson, this does not mean that the private sector just got another $70 billion in debt capacity courtesy of taxpayers, as explained here). And now that we know what Q1 GDP was at the end of Q1, or namely $15.462 trillion, it is simply math to divine that today alone total US/debt to GDP rose by 50 bps to a mindboggling 101.5%.

"Calculating The Power Of Your Hard-Earned Yuan"

There is so much #win (not to be confused with #yuan) in the following article from today's edition of China Daily, that we just felt compelled to post it in its entirety for three reasons: i) an article like this will never appear in the US press - here the best one could get is the calculation of the lack of power of one's easily borrowed Charmin'; ii) it contains the phrase: "There are no lies, just statistics" when discussing data released by the China's National Bureau of Statistics, iii) being on the front page of the paper, and addressing a topic near and dear to everyone: namely how much pay Chinese workers are receiving in absolute and relative terms, in an attempt to spin the data, it confirms what everyone knows - that more and more Chinese workers are getting antsy about the only number that matters: the bottom one. So without further ado, here is China Daily and "Calculating the power of your hard-earned yuan."

 

Frontline On Financial Fraud

In one of the most complete documentaries undertaken on the financial crisis, PBS Frontline's "Money, Power, & Wall Street" series stretches from the origins of the credit derivative business with a bikini-clad pool-side Blythe Masters and her JPMorgan colleagues to the scary (but absolutely true) fact that the financial crisis never ended. The four-part series (of which we present the first two below) continues tonight at 730ET and the entire set of 20 in-depth interviews with the various players (from Sheila Bair to Rodgin Cohen with a smattering of Jared Bernstein and Dick Fisher in between)  can be found here. A must-watch series from beginning to end to get a grasp of how we got here (despite what Chairman Greenspan told us all this morning), where exactly we are now (in spite of today's FTMFW ISM print), and what we can expect in the next few years.

 

AAPL Drops Below 50 DMA After Hours As Stocks Retrace 60% Of ISM Spike

Equity indices managed to close green on a generally lower-than-average volume day but while the morning was dominated by a 20pt rip post-ISM's 4.5-sigma surprise, the post-Europe-close afternoon session saw us give back over 60% of those gains on rising volume and average trade-size. As the day-session closed, ES (the S&P 500 e-mini futures) was right around yesterday's highs and today's VWAP in a relatively balanced manner but after-hours was leaking lower still. AAPL also had a big rotation day as it opened red, surged into the middle of the day then gave it all back to close within a few pennies of its 50DMA (and in fact is trading below it in after-hours trading). Stocks pushed well ahead of credit markets as they rallied and HYG was far less impressed. Sure enough by the close, equities had limped back in line with credit's reality but in the meantime, HYG was back down at last Wednesday's levels. The ISM caused the USD to pop, stocks to pop more, oil to pop about the same and gold/silver/Treasuries to drop. The post Europe-close action saw stocks give back most of those gains, the USD leak back lower (as CAD strengthened), Oil maintained it bid over $106 (month highs) and Gold/Silver pulled back up nicely. Treasuries remained under pressure though with only a very late-day dip lower in yields to show for the dips in stocks. As expected, Energy and Financials outperformed close-to-close on a rally-day but also retraced the most in the afternoon as Discretionary and Materials also joined the high-beta fray. The strength in oil and weakness in TSYs was enough to juice risk-assets in general and provided some support for the rally but stocks remain rich relative to risk in general and we wonder how the bulls have it both ways - rally on unsustainable good news (but no QE3) and on bad news (Ben's got yr back) as the first day of May (absent any European hedging) seemed a chaotic rush to buy this morning that may have been a short-term climax.

 

Is Another Bout Of Global Food Inflation Just Around The Corner?

While the price of food to the American end consumers has been relatively flat over the past few months (at least according to official CPI data), behind the scenes another food inflationary storm for the "rest of the world" is quietly brewing. The reason: after creeping higher all year, soybean prices are just shy of record highs. And while that may not mean much for a population that is used to dining out on 99 cent meals, soy is one of the most highly prized and used broad spectrum use food commodities around the world. From the FT: "The price of soyabeans is heading towards the record high set during the 2007-08 food crisis, which is set to reignite fears of runaway global food inflation. The surge in prices is because of falling global production levels following dry weather in Latin America and increased China imports. Soya’s wide range of use as feed for cows, sheep, pigs and poultry – and as a source for oil used in foodstuffs such as biscuits and cakes – means its high price could trigger food inflation fears." Most importantly, soy is one of China's most important agricultural imports, with soy prices very closely linked to Chinese inflation. So for all those wondering why the great Chinese goal seek model continues to confound expectations and keep coming in stronger than expected (at least in a Schrodinger sense) despite the country's economy sputtering based on both electrical usage and net trade, that's the reason: the last thing China needs in a critical political election year (ahem Bo Xilai) is a sudden spike in food inflation which would be only exacerbated by more PBOC easing. Just recall how closely the media was following reports out of China last year as many thought a rerun of the Arabian spring in the streets of Beijing was virtually inevitable.

 

May-Day, May-Day: Houston, We Have Global Unemployment

While it might have slipped your notice, today was a holiday in most of the world as it celebrates May-Day. In Europe, The Economist notes, this day typically 'belongs' to 'international workers' of the world, and has been associated with left-wing anti-government protest. This year even more so as extreme political parties are on the rise and austerity seems to have no end in sight - but most of all because of the broad-based high-levels of unemployment. Outside of Greece (and perhaps the UK), violent confrontations have so far been rare in the wake of the financial crisis but tensions are mounting (notably in Spain) and as the following graphic shows - with Spain now the 12th nation in Europe to fall into recession - the dramatically bad changes in unemployment and GDP since the crisis began (especially among the youth) suggest more angst is to come as the political compact is pushed to its limits.

Guest Post: A Different Way Of Looking At China

Hard landing, soft landing, civil unrest, dominant economic superpower – the forecasts flow freely regarding China. The fact that good data is hard to come by regarding China does not seem to inhibit many outside observers. In this piece I will look at China through the lens of economic structure, Chinese history and culture—concepts which a number of observers often overlook. My general conclusion is that Chinese GDP growth rates are about to undergo a gradual but nevertheless perceptible decline. But I now believe a hard landing crash is unlikely, assuming that Europe does not totally disintegrate and the US does not roll over into a full scale recession.

 

 

With Market Complacency Back, Realized Vol Flashes Red Light

The 20-day realized volatility of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has more than doubled in the last two months from a low near 7% to the current level over 15%. At the same time, implied vol (akin to VIX) has dropped 2-3vols during that period and almost 5 vols in the last two weeks - nearing its multi-year lows once again. For the first time this year though, 3-month-implied volatility is trading below realized 20-day volatility and while they are apples-to-oranges to some extent (forward-looking vs historical), the 'cheapness' of volatility may well be enough to encourage hedgers back in - especially on a day when stocks pop unexpectedly. What is more worrisome though is almost exact replica that implied- and realized-vol are following when compared to last year in the run-up to the big mid-summer swoon as complacency is back it seems.

 

Another Energy Company Nationalized As Bolivia Follows In Argentina's Footsteps; More Pain For Spain

Two weeks ago, when commenting on the (first of many) nationalizations of energy companies (yes, the collateral shortage we have been discussing over the past year is particularly in effect when it comes to energy assets, although one does not need superficially complicated theories to explain it), in this case of Spanish YPF assets in Argentina we said "How soon until any and every government follows suit in a world in which excess liquidity sloshing around makes expropriation of vital energy producing assets a key prerogative? And how long until the resultant (accelerating) collapse in faith of the monetary system, leads government to declare "monetary self-sufficiency" and confiscate everything that is not nailed down. In exchange for worthless pieces of paper of course. Just to make it "fair"." The answer: two weeks. As of a few hours ago, Bolivia has followed in Argentina's footsteps and has just announced it is nationalizing yet another Spanish company's domestic assets, in this case Red Electrica.

 

The Other Credit Crunch

Much has been made of the apparent lack of demand for credit as well as apparent supply (especially well-collateralized and credit-worthy credit) during a period when the banks have been mouth-to-a-fire-hose gorged on money. Small businesses, as UBS notes, have been at the center of this debate - as the engine of the economy, politicians have been vociferous in the face of banks ignoring their suggestions to lend. This initial credit crunch, however, has led to a structural change among small businesses which may have a much larger slowing-impact on OECD growth than is currently understood. Small businesses horded cash and reduced their reliance on bank loans after the crisis as the fear of the credit crunch remains front-and-center (and therefore crushed a key transmission mechanism of monetary policy). This drop in demand is driven by the hidden credit crunch - a structural shift to more just-in-time inventory management regime. This in turn reduces the inventory:sales ratio (which is exactly what we have seen in an unusual divergence from large business and appearing like a structural decline). The worrying aspect of this, and indeed the other credit crunch is that the inventory management regime-change among small businesses exaggerate anaemic growth since restocking has traditionally helped to drive economic growth above trend in a recovery phase. As UBS' Paul Donovan concludes, "the traditional concept of inventory restocking may be a great deal more lacklustre in the current environment."

 

Guest Post: Two Words - Screw That

History shows that freedom is almost always the price that societies pay to maintain the status quo and keep their rulers in power. When the system finally collapses under its own weight, though, things can go from bad to worse as the people cry out for CHANGE. The French, for example, traded an absolute monarch in Louis XVI for an absolute dictator in Robespierre. Similarly, the Russians traded the empire of ‘Bloody’ Tsar Nicholas II for the Red Terror of Soviet Russia. As the Russian Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky said in 1937, “The old principle of ‘who does not work shall not eat’ has been replaced by a new one– who does not obey shall not eat.”

Two words: Screw that.

Time To Start Looking At The Pump Prices Again

In late February and early March, gas prices were all the rage with every media outlet quoting them ad nauseum until European distresses reclaimed the headlines and suddenly, gas prices became irrelevant once again in the minds of the politicians and media - despite only a very modest drop from their near-record highs. Retail gas prices have indeed fallen for the last three weeks and some have heralded this 13c drop as the second-coming of tax-rebates for consumers in the US. However, in the last few weeks, Crude oil prices have rallied somewhat smartly from under $101 to over $106 this morning (back to one-month highs). RBOB (wholesale gasoline) prices have also - in the last few days - started to push higher with their 'normal' few-week lag. Given the historical precedent, we would expect to see retail gasoline prices stabilize and turn up once again within the next week or two - just in time for the winter-warmth effects to wear off on the macro-economy and the summer driving season to begin - burning an ever-bigger hole in the household's pocket.

 

Previewing Tomorrow's Floating Rate Treasury Launch

Bank of America Bank of America Barclays Bond Borrowing Costs Federal Reserve fixed International Monetary Fund LIBOR Merrill Merrill Lynch None Repo Market

When we last discussed what now appears certain to be a TBAC announcement tomorrow that Floating Rate Treasurys are about to be launched by the US during the Treasury, we cautioned, using an analysis by the IMF's Singh, that "the US Treasury may be telegraphing to the world that it, or far more importantly, the TBAC, is quietly preparing for a surge in interest rates." We then continued that "What is also obvious is that if the TBAC is quietly shifting the market into preparation mode for "a steady (or rocky) rise in rates from near zero to a "neutral" fed funds rate of 400 bps and a "normal" 5 percent yield on 2 year U.S. Treasuries" as the IMF warns, then all hell is about to break loose in stocks, as by now everyone is aware that without the Fed liquidity, and not just liquidity, but "flow" or constant injection of liquidity, as opposed to merely "stock", VIX will explode, equities will implode, and all hell would break loose. It is not yet certain if the TBAC will proceed with implementing FRNs. Although, since the proposal came from the TBAC, read Goldman and JPM, and what Goldman and JPM want, they get, it is almost certain that in about a month, concurrent with the next quarterly refunding, America will slowly but surely proceed with adopting Floaters." Judging by the amount of press coverage this topic has received in the past week, the advent of FRNs is now a given. What is unclear is why: our take is that this is simply a move to make Treasurys more palatable to investors, simply to avoid capital losses when rates finally resume their inevitable surge higher. The flipside of course, is that the guaranteed coupon payments in a rising rate environment means that more cash will leave the Treasury to cover interest. It is this corollary to increasing demand that has made the "father" of Treasury floaters warn on Bloomberg that now is the worst possible time to being sales of FRN Treasurys.

 

The Europe Crisis From A European Perspective

When we talk about Europe today in an economic context, we really mean the Eurozone, whose seventeen members are the core of Europe and share a common currency, the euro. The euro first came into existence thirteen years ago, on January 1, 1999, replacing national currencies for eleven states; Greece joined two years later. In theory, the idea of a common currency for European nations with common borders is logical, and it was Canadian economist Robert Mundell's work on optimum currency areas that provided much of the theoretical cover. However, the concept was flawed from the start.

 

Dallas Fed: Why We Must End TBTF Now!

"We're on the road to economic stagnation" is how the Dallas fed describes the status quo as Too-Big-To-Fail (TBTF) is forcing the US economy to suffer from the perpetuation of perverse incentives. We want to get back on the path to prosperity and they note that there are some things monetary policy can't fix (well we know that already) but in this case they demand an end to the TBTF paradigm now. In an excellent presentation of the costs and benefits of ending TBTF (defined rather tongue-in-cheekily: The unwillingness of a government entity to abruptly close an insolvent company and force its creditors to sustain sizable losses due to the company’s size, complexity, interconnectedness and general significance within the financial system), the ignorance of the process of creative destruction is critical as they note that a sick (or failed) bank cannot lend: "Undercapitalized banks gum up the working of the interdependent moving parts of the monetary policy engine". Dismissing the Dodd-Frank Act as a distraction that doesn't buttress market discipline, they summarize their guiding principles as: End banking oligopoly power; punish failure quickly; and change the do-or-die (M.A.D.) decision-making paradigm; ending with the threat promise suggestion that Restructuring isn't so radical, firms do it all the time.

 

The Demented "Old Normal" Speaks: Greenspan Forgets His Lines From Year Ago, Now Hearts QE

Forget 'irrational exuberance', forget 'deregulation of derivatives', Big Al is back and this time he seems to have forgotten any- and every-thing we has ever said. It was only a year ago that Greenspan told CNBC "I am ill-aware of anything that really worked. Not only QE2 but QE1" and yet today the mumbling-'maestro' pronounces, via Bloomberg:

  • *GREENSPAN SAYS EQUITY STIMULUS IS HELPING TO DRIVE ECONOMY
  • *GREENSPAN SAYS EQUITY STIMULUS IS UNDERESTIMATED
  • *GREENSPAN SAYS EQUITY IS COLLATERAL OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM

So it sounds like Alan has joined Ben in the parade of 'the-market-is-the-economy' thinkers as now the critical action of all the greatest minds in our economic policy-makers are convinced that debasement manufacturing a rising equity market (by whatever means necessary) is key (and nothing else!).

 

Guest Post: Where's The Collateral?

Collateral matters when it comes to assessing the value of the debt. If a bank lists the mortgages in its "assets" column at full value even though the underlying collateral (the houses) has lost much of their value, then the bank is grossly over-estimating the value and security of the mortgage. The bank's "assets" are based on phantom collateral. Take away $1 in collateral and you impair $4, $10, $20 or even $30 of debt. Recall that the vast majority of real estate equity and financial wealth is owned by the top 20%, with the majority of that concentrated in the top 5%. That means the bottom 80% own little collateral to leverage into debt. How about leveraging income into more debt? Since the top 10% receive almost 50% of the income, and most of the bottom 90%'s income goes to non-discretionary spending and taxes, then only the top 10% have discretionary income that can be leveraged into more debt.

ISM Defies Consensus, Surges In Best Consensus Beat In Past 7 Months

UPDATE: ES liquidity disappeared into the print but the reaction has been 'surprising' for an entirely unsustainable 4.5 Sigma beat, pushing ES +1%, TSYs +4-5bps, Gold/Silver -0.5%, and Oil +0.5% with no European restraint today so far.

Forget the Schrodinger  "baffle them with bullshit" economy - it is now officially the Idiotmaker economy. Following the massive Chicago PMI drop yesterday, there were those who expected reality to revert and today's mfg ISM to plunge. No such luck, in fact the Manufacturing Data just came out and destroyed every single convergence thesis, printing at 54.8 on expectations of 53.0, and up from the March print of 53.4. This was the best ISM beat in 7 months, following the worst PMI print in 2.5 years yesterday, also the biggest MOM jump since June 2011, and the biggest 2 month rise since April 2010. Go figure. The only one who predicted the correct outcome? Why Zero Hedge, courtesy of none other than Joe LaVorgna.

 

Guest Post: Krugman, Diocletian & Neofeudalism

While Krugman does not by any means endorse the level of centralism that Diocletian introduced, his defence of bailouts, his insistence on the planning of interest rates and inflation, and (most frighteningly) his insistence that war can be an economic stimulus (in reality, war is a capital destroyer) all put him firmly in Diocletian’s economic planning camp. So how did Diocletian’s economic program work out? Well, I think it is fair to say even without modern data that — just as Krugman desires — Diocletian’s measures boosted aggregate demand through public works and — just as Krugman desires — it introduced inflation. And certainly Rome lived for almost 150 years after Diocletian. However the long term effects of Diocletian’s economic program were dire. Have the 2008 bailouts done the same thing, cementing a new feudal aristocracy of bankers, financiers and too-big-to-fail zombies, alongside a serf class that exists to fund the excesses of the financial and corporate elite? Only time will tell.

 

 

 

Art Cashin Issues His Latest Warning On Egypt

Last week, when we discussed the recent ominous gas deal cancellation between Egypt and Israel we warned that the May Egyptian presidential election is the one that nobody is concerned about, yet should be far more prominent on everyone's radar, especially in the aftermath of not only the recent deterioration of Egypt-Israel relations, but also the withdrawal of the Arabian ambassador from Cairo.

Austerity, Spending, And The Black Market In The Room

In spite of the holiday in Europe, the region is still one of the biggest issues in the market.  We are not sure how the debate has turned into austerity versus growth?  Growth, or at least sustainable debt levels is the goal.  Austerity and Spending are ways of achieving that sustainable debt level. Growth is one way of achieving a sustainable debt level.  A bigger economy would more easily support the existing debt.  The key here is not creating more debt than the growth can cover. Reducing debt and reducing expenses is another way of achieving a sustainable debt level.  It is depressing and a bit scary that governments have promised far more than they can deliver. So new spending that creates more growth than it costs should be pursued.  It won’t be easy to find that many obvious projects, but at least politicians have an easy time spending more money. But there is the pink elephant in the room, or in this case, the black market.  Spain has an official unemployment rate of 24%.  They project it to be 22% in 2015.  This is structural.  I cannot imagine the U.S. surviving with that level of unemployment.  The unemployed would have taken to the streets long before it hit that level to demand change.  In fact, I find it difficult to imagine any country surviving on that level of unemployment, unless it is structurally encouraged.  Are the benefits too good?  Is it too easy to avoid working? If a country like Spain is paying huge amounts of money to the unemployed, and that is causing a spike in debt to unsustainable levels, then something needs to be done.

 

Chesapeake Renegotiates Terms Of Wells Deal, Stock Soars On Short Covering Spree

Two weeks ago, when reporting on Chesapeake's most recent legal problem in the aftermath of the Reuters report on McClendon's private well deal, we explicitly said: "to all those scrambling to short the company: beware. CHK has a history of being able to fund itself with HY bonds come hell or high water. If and when the stock tanks, the short interest will surge on expectations of a funding shortfall. Alas, courtesy of the Fed's malevolent capital misallocation enabling, we are more than confident that the firm will be able to issue as much HY debt (unsustainably at 10%+, but that is irrelevant for the short-term) as it needs, crushing all short theses. What this means, simply, is that anyone who believes traditional fundamental analysis will and should work in the CHK case is likely to get burned, especially if China is involved which will have its own tactics vis-a-vis the future of McClendon and/or CHK. And all, of course, courtesy of the Chairman of course." Sure enough, we just got confirmation of what happens when a company that everyone has left for dead gets a bit of good news, in the form that CHK has ended the wells deal and is looking for a new chairman: the stock explodes, as it has this morning when it is now nearly 10% higher in the pre market. That, and the fact that everyone and their grandmother is short, also doesn't help.

 

Disrupt Or Be Disrupted: Live Webcast Of Wired's "Disruptive By Design" Conference

In a serious incarnation of what CNBC's feeble attempt to present "disruptive" market individuals, which ironically but not surprisingly are merely those who support the status quo, Wired Magazine is webcasting live it business conference titled "Disruptive by Design", which while also another form of mutual ego-stroking circle jerking, at least bring together individuals who truly are at the forefront of disruptive design. Among the speakers are Marc Andreesen (keynote speaker), Dick Costolo, James Dyson, Curtis Hougland, Shantanu Narayen, Daniel Pink, and many others (full speaker list). Those who are bored by today's lack of any other real events can follow what Wired calls "a dynamic audience of today’s thought leaders for groundbreaking discussions on disruptive business practices, ideas, and innovations."

RANsquawk: US Morning Call - ISM Manufacturing Preview: 01/05/12

 

The Mediocre Truth About Earnings Season

While headlines crow of company performance this earnings season and as usual consistent patterns are extrapolated and exaggerated into a forceful flow of propaganda for why everyone should buy stocks, the truth is much less spectacular and in fact downright disappointing if one looks to the future (as opposed to the rear-view mirror). More than two-thirds of the S&P 500's market cap has reported and until last week, there was a very high 83% of companies beating expectations with positive earnings surprises. However, last week's swathe of mediocrity dragged that average down to a much more in-line 77% (which quite frankly still reflects somewhat poorly on all those well-paid analysts out there) but more to the point is absolutely nothing exceptional in terms of why-you-should-buy-stocks-now. Aggregate earnings have exceeded estimates by 7% (impressive indeed) while revenues have beaten by 1% (less so) but what is critical to comprehend if you are investing for future returns as opposed to what you hoped you could have made last quarter, is the fact that forward guidance is almost entirely unchanged for 2012. This reflects companies' perceptions of 'low visibility in global growth across economies' with a consistent theme of European and Emerging Market growth slowdowns being offset by better-than-expected US growth - and we think we have burst that US decoupling bubble enough times now to comprehend its meaning for disappointing earnings for the rest of 2012 as relative demand was dragged forward into Q1. All-in-all, mediocrity rules the surprises and forward expectations continue to disappoint the maddening crowd.

 

 

Why? - 21 Unanswered Questions That They Don't Want You To Look Into

http://endoftheamericandream.com

http://albertpeia.com/21unansweredquestions.htm

Do you ever get the feeling that the mainstream media is feeding you a very watered-down and twisted version of the news?  Do you ever get the feeling that the federal government does not believe that the American people can actually be trusted with the truth?  It is exasperating to realize that the news that the public is being fed every single day is very heavily filtered and very heavily censored.  In a world where "spin" is everything, simply telling the truth is a revolutionary act.  Fortunately, the Internet has helped fuel the rise of the alternative media, and millions of Americans that are starting to wake up are turning to the alternative media for answers to their unanswered questions.  Increasingly, people are becoming willing to question the orthodoxy that is being shoved down their throats by the major news networks, and that is a very good thing.  The world is becoming an incredibly unstable place, and it is more imperative than ever that we all learn to think for ourselves.  We live during a time of great deception, and the lies are going to get even bigger and even more bold in the years to come.  If we don't know why we believe what we believe, then we are in danger of falling for just about anything.

It is those that seek the truth that end up finding it.  If you just accept the version of reality that the system wants to feed you, then you are probably going to become what the system wants you to become.

But if you are not afraid to question everything, then you will have a chance to become everything that you were always meant to be.

So what are some things that we should be questioning right now?

The following are 21 unanswered questions that they don't want you to look into....

#1 Why is the TSA being allowed to conduct warrantless searches at bus stations and train stations all over America?  According to an article in the Guardian, the following motto is displayed at the TSA's air marshal training center: "Dominate. Intimidate. Control."  Why is there no outrage over this?

#2 Why does the TSA believe that it is necessary to pat-down a 7-year-old girl with cerebral palsy?  Does touching the private areas of disabled little girls really improve our national security?

#3 Why does the Department of Homeland Security need Predator-B drones to patrol the border between the United States and Canada?

#4 Why is a militarized "Red Zone" being set up in Chicago three weeks prior to the upcoming NATO summit on May 20th and 21st?

#5 Why is the Milwaukee Red Cross being told to prepare for an evacuation of Chicago?

#6 Why is cesium-137 from the Fukushima nuclear disaster still showing up in milk in Montpelier, Vermont?  The following is from a recent Forbes article....

Radiation from Japan has been detected in drinking water in 13 more American cities, and cesium-137 has been found in American milk—in Montpelier, Vermont—for the first time since the Japan nuclear disaster began, according to data released by the Environmental Protection Agency late Friday.

#7 Why is there such little uproar over CISPA?  CISPA is going to allow companies to share our private online information with the government almost at will.  The following is from an article posted on the website of the Electronic Frontier Foundation....

CISPA creates an exception to all privacy laws to permit companies to share our information with each other and with the government in the name of cybersecurity. ... CISPA’s ‘information sharing’ regime allows the transfer of vast amounts of data, including sensitive information like internet use history or the content of emails, to any agency in the government including military and intelligence agencies like the National Security Agency or the Department of Defense Cyber Command. Once in government hands, this information can be used for any non-regulatory purpose so long as one significant purpose is for cybersecurity or to protect national security.

#8 Why aren't more people in the mainstream media alarmed that the economies of 11 different western nations have plunged into recession?

#9 Why did an ounce of gold only cost $58 in 1972 but it costs more than $1660 today?

#10 Why has the median price of a new home risen from $17,200 in 1963 to $212,000 today?

#11 Why are so many banks issuing credit cards that can have information silently stolen off of them by any thief that is willing to invest in a contactless credit card reader?

#12 Why have most Americans never even heard of the University of Pittsburgh study that found that common vaccines that we give our children produce autism-like symptoms in monkeys?

#13 Why is Wall Street laying off thousands of workers if the economy is getting better?

#14 Why has Spain banned all cash transactions over 2,500 euros?

#15 Why is there such a push to get more kids to go to college if most college graduates cannot find a decent job once they graduate?  Why is Mitt Romney telling young Americans to borrow money from their parents to get the education that they "need"?

#16 Why does the mainstream media in America almost completely ignore the brutal terror attacks that happen regularly in many countries in Africa?  For example, just the other day more than a dozen Christians were killed by a terror attack in the northern Nigerian city of Kano.  Back in January, nearly 200 were killed in coordinated attacks in that same city.  So why does the U.S. media very rarely ever talk about this?

#17 Why was a radical activist who once stated that he "wished all Republicans were ****ing dead" invited to speak at the National High School Journalism Convention?  Is it any surprise that he declared to his audience of high school students that we should all "learn to ignore the bulls— in the Bible"?

#18 Why did Barack Obama recently update an old executive order so that now he will be able to take charge of all food, all energy, all health resources and all transportation resources in the United States even in "non-emergency" situations?

#19 Why are federal government agencies stockpiling massive amounts of food and ammunition?  Do they know something that we don't?

#20 Why will a mysterious Spanish company be reporting the election results for hundreds of U.S. jurisdictions on election day 2012?

#21 Why do "scientific reports" that proclaim that there is a desperate need for global population control get very prominent coverage in newspapers all over the western world?’

BIN LADEN WAS ALREADY DEAD

Bin Laden: Everyone Is Missing the Big Picture   http://albertpeia.com/binladenwasalreadydead.htm

: George Washington : 04/30/2012  

Obama and Romney Are Both Ignoring the Real Issue with Killing Bin Laden

The anniversary of Bin Laden's death is big news.

Obama is bragging about how he whacked Bin Laden, accusing Romney of being too soft to take out bad guys.

Romney supporters accuse Obama of "spiking the football" and inappropriately showing off to score political points.

Both sides are missing the big picture.    Specifically, we noted last year:

I’m as happy as the next red-blooded American that Bin Laden is dead.

For more than a decade, the government has said that Bin Laden is the world’s worst terrorist, a terrorist kingpin, the head of the worst terrorist group in the world.

But if we captured and interrogated him, he could have spilled a lot of beans which would help prevent future terrorist attacks.

Right?

But as the Atlantic reports today:

There’s one option the administration appears to have never seriously considered: taking bin Laden alive.

The administration had made clear to the military’s clandestine Joint Special Operations Command that it wanted bin Laden dead, according to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the discussions. A high-ranking military officer briefed on the assault said the SEALs knew their mission was not to take him alive. ***

And Gareth Porter reported yesterday that the U.S. didn’t even consider capturing Bin Laden as part of its Afghanistan war strategy:

The absence of any military planning to catch bin Laden was a function of Bush’s national security team, led by Vice-President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld, which had firmly opposed any military operation in Afghanistan that would have had any possibility of catching bin Laden and his lieutenants.Rumsfeld and the second-ranking official at the Pentagon, Paul Wolfowitz, had dismissed CIA warnings of an al Qaeda terrorist attack against the United States in the summer of 2001, and even after 9/11 had continued to question the CIA’s conclusion that bin Laden and al Qaeda were behind the attacks.

Cheney and Rumsfeld were determined not to allow a focus on bin Laden to interfere with their plan for a U.S. invasion of Iraq to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime.

Even after Bush decided in favour of an Afghan campaign, CENTCOM commander Tommy Franks, who was responsible for the war in Afghanistan, was not directed to have a plan for bin Laden’s capture or to block his escape to Pakistan. [Background.]

We tortured a bunch of innocent farmers, children, grandparents and reporters … supposedly to get information about Bin Laden. But it doesn’t seem like the government was very interested in actually interrogating Bin Laden himself.

We pointed out the next day:

The Christian Science Monitor reports today:

Some US military intelligence officials also lament that bin Laden was not taken alive – and privately wonder whether concerns about the political “headaches” involved in trying detainees may have led the Obama administration to favor killing rather than capturing the architect of 9/11.

The opportunity to glean valuable intelligence from the leader of a powerful terrorist organization was lost, says retired Army Col. Stuart Herrington, a military intelligence specialist who interrogated generals under the command of Saddam Hussein and evaluated US detention operations at Guantánamo.

It is a misconception that ideologues don’t talk, he says. “The opinion that, ‘Oh, he’s such a fanatic, he won’t tell us anything' – that’s uninformed blathering by people who don’t understand the business,” Herrington adds.

The Christian Science Monitor article also confirms that torture doesn’t work to produce actionable intelligence, and points out that even Bin Laden could have been made to talk if other interrogation techniques were used.

The ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. – Senator Chambliss – says that the executive order stated that Bin Laden should be killed ....

As we noted  in 2008, Bin Laden was useful to the U.S. as a prop in the so-called war on terror:

Former deputy national intelligence officer for transnational threats, a 23-year senior CIA analyst, who “drafted or was involved in many of the government’s most senior assessments of the threats facing our country [and who] devoted years to understanding and combating the jihadist threat”, writes today in the Washington Post that the neocons have whipped us into an irrational fear of the terrorism. In reality, “Osama bin Laden and his disciples are small men and secondary threats whose shadows are made large by our fears” and our leaders.

 This is no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. The BBC produced a documentary called The Power of Nightmares in 2005 that showed that politicians were greatly exaggerating the terrorist threat for political ends.

Indeed, we noted in 2009:

A United States Congressman claims that the Bush administration intentionally let Bin Laden escape in order to justify the Iraq war.

Many people claim that Bin Laden died a long time ago. According to Israeli intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, and other sources, Bin Laden is dead.

 According to video experts and and top Bin Laden experts, recent Bin Laden videos are fake.

 So if Bin Laden is alive, American leaders have to explain why they have repeatedly chosen not to pull the trigger.

 And if he is dead, they have to explain why they are claiming that he’s alive and authenticating his videos.

 

                                                                  ----------------------------

 

 

Campaign ad says Romney wouldn't have ordered raid to kill Osama bin Laden … [Coulda…Woulda…If wobama’s grandmother had wheels she’d have been a trolley car…There’s documentation from reliable military sources that the ‘staged event’ for political capital at a time wobama was generating record low polling numbers did not in reality result in Osama’s death – there are also varying views, from already dead, body on ice and reason for quick burial at sea, etc., see infra ]...    http://albertpeia.com/binladendeadandonicesince2001.htm
“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).

The Market Calls BS on Spain’s Efforts to Cover Its Toxic Banking Debt

May 1, 2012 By gpc1981

http://albertpeia.com/spainstoxicbankingdebt.htm

‘In a previous article I began delving into the toxic sewer that is the Spanish banking system. At the root of the problem is the previously unregulated Spanish cajas or regional/ local banks which own as much as 56% of all Spanish mortgages.

To give you an idea of how bad things are with the cajas, consider that in February 2011 the Spanish Government implemented legislation demanding all Spanish banks have equity equal to 8% of their “risk-weighted assets.” Those banks that failed to meet this requirement had to either merge with larger banks or face partial nationalization.

The deadline for meeting this capital request was September 2011. Between February 2011 and September 2011, the number of cajas has in Spain has dropped from 45 to 17.

Put another way, over 60% of cajas could not meet the capital requirements of having equity equal to just 8% of their risk-weighted assets. As a result, 28 toxic caja balance sheets have been merged with other (likely equally troubled) banks or have been shifted onto the public’s balance sheet via partial nationalization.

The markets are well aware that this policy has only spread the toxic garbage, not fixed it. Case in point, take a look at the chart for Banco Sabadell which was merged with toxic Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo or CAM for short.

..The merger increased Banco Sabadell’s size by 75%… and the market saw this as a good thing for a total of two weeks: shares are now down 30% from their merger levels.

Banco Popular, which acquired failing caja Banco Pastor, has experienced a similar fate, falling to a new low soon after the merger:

..My point with all of this is that merging one garbage bank with another larger slightly less garbage bank doesn’t solve anything. The market knows this, which is why we see these banks continuing to collapse despite being merged.

Having addressed all of this, I firmly believe that no one, not even the Spanish Government has a clue how much toxic garbage debt exists in the Spanish banking system.

Moreover, it’s not as though the Spanish Government is heavily incentivized to come clean about the true nature of the Spanish banking system even if it did know the facts.

Case in point, the Government just admitted that Spanish banks will need another €29 billion in loan loss provisions yesterday, before revealing that  “problem loans” for the Spanish banking system are now at an 18-year high of 8.15% (€140 billion of the total €1.7 trillion in loans within the Spanish Banking System).

Put another way, by the Spanish Government’s own admission (read extremely conservative estimate) nearly one out of every €10 leant out by Spanish banks is probably not going to be paid back.

And things are only going to get worse. Spanish citizens (at least those that have money) have been pulling their money out of Spain en masse: €65 billion left the Spanish banking system in March 2011 alone.

This flight of capital will result in higher leverage levels for Spanish banks (already leveraged at 20 to 1) and smaller capital buffers with which to address future losses.

Put another way, capital is leaving Spain at the very time when Spanish banks need it the most. Indeed, things have gotten so bad that the Spanish Government has limited cash transactions over €2,500.

Simply put, Spain’s banking system is an absolute sewer of toxic debts that no one, likely not even the Spanish Government or Spanish Central Bank, truly has a grip on.

The few facts that we do know are:

  • Total Spanish banking loans are equal to 170% of Spanish GDP.
  • Troubled loans at Spanish Banks just hit an 18-year high.
  • Spanish Banks are drawing a record €316.3 billion from the ECB (up from €169.2 billion in February).
  • The share prices of Spanish banks that were merged with cajas have broken to new lows.

None of this is good news at all. Especially when you also consider that…

Spanish banks need to roll over 20% of their debt this year.

That’s correct, one fifth of all Spanish bank bonds need to be paid off or renegotiated in 2012. And this is happening at a time in which Spanish interest rates are rising. Indeed, the Spanish ten year is approaching the dreaded 7%: the level at which Greece and other PIIGS sought bailouts.

The only problem is: Spain is far too big to be bailed out.

With that in mind, I’m already positioning subscribers of Private Wealth Advisory for the upcoming EU collapse. Already we’ve seen gains of 6%, 9%, 10%, even 12% in less than two weeks by placing well-targeted shorts on a number of European financials.And we’re just getting started. Indeed, we just opened five new trades a few weeks ago Friday. Already we’ve closed out three of them for gains of 6%, 6%, and 9%.So if you’re looking for the means of profiting from what’s coming, I highly suggest you consider a subscription to Private Wealth Advisory. We’ve locked in 49 straight winning trades since late July (thanks to the timing of our trades), and haven’t closed a single losing trade since that time.Because of the level of my analysis as well as my track record, my work has been featured in Fox Business, CNN Money, Crain’s New York Business, Rollingstone Magazine, and more. Which is why we’re raising the price of Private Wealth Advisory from $249 to $399. The reason? This is a premium quality newsletter than commands a premium price.So this is the last day during which you can subscribe Private Wealth Advisory at the soon to be old price of $249. This is literally the last call (today by noon… technically it was last night at midnight, but I’m giving those in different time zones an extra 12 hours to take advantage of this deal). To do so…Click Here Now!!! Best Regards, Graham Summers,Chief Market Strategist,Phoenix Capital Research’

Forrester: Apple is Entering a Long Decline Written by Damon Poeter PC Magazine ‘ At least one analyst is bucking the trend of gushing over Apple. Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech .. ‘ [ As much as I like Apple, my first computer, and am glad they survived in a big way, I’m constrained to agree. Moreover, and I can’t prove this, I believe there to be some ‘soft’ stimulation of the heavily weighted, more bang for the buck, Apple stock by way of subsidized purchases. Remember those $275,000 per car government purchases, and the $278,000 cost per stimulus job? What’s $500 per ipad or iphone, etc., to a nation hopelessly, insurmountably indebted to the tune of $211 trillion, especially in their election year desperation. This should in no way be construed as a slight to Cook; but rather, just the reality there’s a limit to what one’s willing to pay for fairly common utility. That said, I’d still buy an IPad since, as with the ipod and the simple technology involved, amazingly, ultimate competitors as, ie., microsoft with zune, etc., didn’t measure up at all! I think the IPhone’s totally underwhelming! Contrary to the tenor of the article, I believe charisma has nothing whatsoever to do with the inevitable decline ahead; and, not just Apple.   ]

‘At least one analyst is bucking the trend of gushing over Apple. Forrester Research chief executive George Colony laid out his case in a blog post Wednesday for why he thinks the company will start looking like just another tech companies within the next four years unless it finds another "special, magical" leader like Steve Jobs.

Colony's position couldn't be more contrarian. Apple just reported record March quarter profits while selling tens of millions of its iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers. In the past few months, other analysts have been jockeying to tout Apple's share price, currently at just over $600 per share, for gains past the $800, $900, and even $1,000 threshold.

But if Apple's riding high now, that's not going to last, according to Colony.

"Apple will decline in the post Steve Jobs era," he writes, explaining that Apple under Jobs fit the bill as a "charismatic organization ... headed by people with the 'gift of grace'." Succession in such an organization is particularly difficult because while bureaucratic and traditional organizations have processes and rituals to elevate new leadership, "[i]n charismatic organizations, the magical leader must be succeeded by another charismatic—the emotional connection of employees and (in the case of Apple) customers demands it."

Colony quotes liberally from Max Weber's The Theory of Social and Economic Organization and Adam Lashinky's Inside Apple to build his case that Apple will "coast" over the next 24 to 48 months and "then decelerate."

What about the processes Jobs himself put in place at Apple to ensure that his vision and management style would endure at the company after he was gone? Apple University and other company initiatives fostered by Jobs won't do the trick, Colony claims, quoting Weber: "Charisma can only be awakened and tested, it cannot be learned or taught."

Colony argues that Jobs' successor, Tim Cook, has a "legal/bureaucratic approach" to leading Apple that "will prove to be a mismatch for an organization that feeds off the gift of grace." Instead of Cook, the company should turn to Jonathan Ive or Scott Forstall to be CEO, the analyst writes.

If Apple doesn't get another magical charismatic leader, Colony concludes, it risks turning into Sony after Akio Morita or Polaroid post-Edwin Land—a company that goes from great to merely good in a few short years./

5 New Lies That The Federal Reserve Is Telling The American People
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com
http://albertpeia.com/5newliesbythefed.htm

http://albertpeia.com/fraudulentfedhasfailed.htm

 { Yes, it’s really rather incredible, even astounding, that people even listen to, much less believe the proven lies, wrong information, disinformation that bespeaks fraud/deception/cover-up and at best, total incompetence. Don’t they realize they’re being scammed in a very big way; particularly, with an election year predisposed pro-wobama obfuscation? Bernanke is a total fraud. He is totally incompetent! As I wrote, infra, as comment to Dave Fry’s Summary:  the same helicopter ben who forecast no recession and whose QEs have helped no one but the frauds on wall street, with fake numbers on what is in reality much higher inflation, unemployment, etc., for obfuscation – you cannot solve a problem without admitting there is one, let alone failing to identify the problem; and with america’s insurmountable debt and debased Weimar fiat paper currency over-printing, that huge extant problem is substantially exacerbated. { Britain slides back into recession AFP Britain was back in recession Wednesday after its economy shrank in the first quarter while Prime Minister David Cameron said the country was being buffetted by the European downturn [ True, but only because unlike the u.s., their reporting is a bit more accurate/truthful, less manipulated, less fraudulent than america which has already entered (the continuing) recession (actually dollar debased and thereby, can you believe it, inflationary depression) UK Economy Double Dips For First Time Since 1970s  } ]  {  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 .. “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..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..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’ }  [ Now we know the reason for bernanke’s pro-wobama politicking: Reuters:  Mitt Romney says he would boot Ben Bernanke - The Trail The likely Republican nominee says, “I’d be looking for somebody new” to run the Federal Reserve if he’s elected president. Romney criticized Fed Chairman Bernanke for printing too much money in a bid to stimulate the economy. (April 25, 2012) Drudgereport: Romney would boot Ben... And, not only because bernanke as has obama failed miserably; good, sound management all but requires that he do so (as per the late Peter Drucker among the multitude of Management experts). Wobama, the lazy jive-talking b***s*** artist, despite campaign rhetoric to the contrary, literally continued all things dumbya bush. ]

 

 

The United States Has Plenty Of Oil: 10 Facts About America's Energy Resources That Will Blow Your Mind

http://endoftheamericandream.com

http://albertpeia.com/10factsaboutamericanenergyresources.htm

[ Well, first off, since we’re only talking decades at best, I agree the alarmist propaganda is all for naught. Yet, make no mistake, those who equate shale oil, deep water oil, etc., with that close to the surface, easily recovered, ie., sweet crude, are as misguided. It’s kind of like that ‘asteroid mining’ that’s ‘become the rage’. Firstly, in hollywood (oh yeah, we’ve seen them digitally land on asteroids, planets as in Avatar, etc., with ease and without a hitch), they don’t keep books the way other businesses do, at least on the creative end, viz., ie., Cameron. And, what do you expect a former pilot to say, etc.? As an example of ‘fuel price makes a difference’, anyone who thinks american airlines among others went bankrupt because they’re so horribly managed or because they felt like strategically avoiding their debt would be mistaken. For airlines it’s all about fuel costs and load factors, capital intensive that they are,  and pennies literally do make a difference. Costs of extraction make a difference. Oh sure, there’s loads of oil. It’s all about the costs of getting it. Peak oil really has been reached in terms of ‘easy pickins’. Some even argue/document persuasively that current reserves of the ‘easy pickins’ are over-stated.  ]

24 Outrageous Facts About Taxes In The United States That Will Blow Your Mind

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

 

http://albertpeia.com/24factsaboutmindblowingustaxes.htm

The U.S. tax code is a complete and utter abomination and it needs to be thrown out entirely.  Nobody in their right mind would ever read the whole thing - it is over 3 million words long.  Each year, Americans spend billions of hours and hundreds of billions of dollars trying to comply with federal tax requirements.  Sadly, it is the honest, hard working Americans in the middle class that always get hit the hardest.  The tax code is absolutely riddled with loopholes that big corporations and the ultra-wealthy use to minimize their tax burdens as much as possible.  Many poor people do not pay any income taxes at all.  The dishonest are rewarded for cheating on their taxes (if they can get away with it) and the ultra-wealthy have moved trillions of dollars to offshore tax havens where they can avoid U.S. taxation altogether.  Our system is incredibly unfair to the millions of hard working people in the middle class and upper middle class that drag themselves out of bed and go to work each day and try to do the right thing.  In addition, the current U.S. tax system is incredibly inefficient, it diverts a tremendous amount of resources away from more valuable economic activities, and it has chased thousands of businesses and trillions of dollars out of the United States.  The U.S. tax code is such a complete and utter mess at this point that it can never be "fixed".  The only rational thing to do is to abolish it completely, and any politician that tells you otherwise is lying to you.

The following are 24 outrageous facts about taxes in the United States that will blow your mind....

#1 - The U.S. tax code is now 3.8 million words long.  If you took all of William Shakespeare's works and collected them together, the entire collection would only be about 900,000 words long.

#2 - According to the National Taxpayers Union, U.S. taxpayers spend more than 7.6 billion hours complying with federal tax requirements.  Imagine what our society would look like if all that time was spent on more economically profitable activities.

#3 - 75 years ago, the instructions for Form 1040 were two pages long.  Today, they are 189 pages long.

#4 - There have been 4,428 changes to the tax code over the last decade.  It is incredibly costly to change tax software, tax manuals and tax instruction booklets for all of those changes.

#5 - According to the National Taxpayers Union, the IRS currently has 1,999 different publications, forms, and instruction sheets that you can download from the IRS website.

#6 - Our tax system has become so complicated that it is almost impossible to file your taxes correctly.  For example, back in 1998 Money Magazine had 46 different tax professionals complete a tax return for a hypothetical household.  All 46 of them came up with a different result.

#7 - In 2009, PC World had five of the most popular tax preparation software websites prepare a tax return for a hypothetical household.  All five of them came up with a different result.

#8 - The IRS spends $2.45 for every $100 that it collects in taxes.

#9 - According to The Tax Foundation, the average American has to work until April 17th just to pay federal, state, and local taxes.  Back in 1900, "Tax Freedom Day" came on January 22nd.

#10 - When the U.S. government first implemented a personal income tax back in 1913, the vast majority of the population paid a rate of just 1 percent, and the highest marginal tax rate was just 7 percent.

#11 - Residents of New Jersey pay $1.64 in taxes for every $1.00 of federal spending that they get back.

#12 - The United States is the only nation on the planet that tries to tax citizens on what they earn in foreign countries.

#13 - According to Forbes, the 400 highest earning Americans pay an average federal income tax rate of just 18 percent.

#14 - Warren Buffett had an effective tax rate of just 17.4 percent for 2010.

#15 - The top 20 percent of all income earners in the United States pay approximately 86 percent of all federal income taxes.

#16 - Sadly, as Bill Whittle has shown, you could take every single penny that every American earns above $250,000 and it would only fund about 38 percent of the federal budget.

#17 - The United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the world (35 percent).  In Ireland, the corporate tax rate is only 12.5 percent.  This is causing thousands of corporations to move operations out of the United States and into other countries.

#18 - Some tax havens are doing a booming business in setting up sham headquarters for U.S. corporations.  For example, the city of Zug, Switzerland only has a population of 26,000 people but it is the headquarters for 30,000 companies.

#19 - In 1950, corporate taxes accounted for about 30 percent of all federal revenue.  In 2012, corporate taxes will account for less than 7 percent of all federal revenue.

#20 - In a previous article, I discussed how many of our largest corporations make huge profits and yet pay less than nothing in taxes....

What U.S. corporations are able to get away with is absolutely amazing.

The following figures come directly out of a report by Citizens for Tax Justice.  These are combined figures for the tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

During those three years, all of the corporations below made a lot of money.  Yet all of them paid net taxes that were below zero for those three years combined.

How is that possible?  Well, it turns out that instead of paying in taxes to the federal government, they were actually getting money back.

So for these corporations, their rate of taxation was actually below zero.

If you have not seen these before, you are going to have a hard time believing some of these statistics.....

*Honeywell*

Profits: $4.9 billion

Taxes: -$34 million

*Fed Ex*

Profits: $3 billion

Taxes: -$23 million

*Wells Fargo*

Profits: $49.37 billion

Taxes: -$681 million

*Boeing*

Profits: $9.7 billion

Taxes: -$178 million

*Verizon*

Profits: $32.5 billion

Taxes: -$951 million

*Dupont*

Profits: $2.1 billion

Taxes -$72 million

*American Electric Power*

Profits: $5.89 billion

Taxes -$545 million

*General Electric*

Profits: $7.7 billion

Taxes: -$4.7 billion

Are you starting to get the picture?

#21 - Exxon-Mobil paid $15 billion in taxes in 2009, but not a single penny went to the U.S. government.

#22 - Many wealthy Americans hide enormous amounts of money outside the country in order to avoid paying taxes.  According to the IMF, a total of 18 trillion dollars is currently being hidden in offshore banks.

#23 - The number of traffic accidents spikes each year right around April 15th.  The following is from a recent Bloomberg article....

Deaths from traffic accidents around April 15, traditionally the last day to file individual income taxes in the U.S., rose 6 percent on average on each of the last 30 years of tax filing days compared with a day during the week prior and a week later, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

#24 - Most of the tax debate is focused on income taxes, but the truth is that Americans pay dozens of other taxes every single year.  The following are just a few of the taxes that many Americans pay....

#1 Building Permit Taxes

#2 Capital Gains Taxes

#3 Cigarette Taxes

#4 Court Fines (indirect taxes)

#5 Dog License Taxes

#6 Federal Unemployment Taxes

#7 Fishing License Taxes

#8 Food License Taxes

#9 Gasoline Taxes

#10 Gift Taxes

#11 Hunting License Taxes

#12 Inheritance Taxes

#13 Inventory Taxes

#14 IRS Interest Charges (tax on top of tax)

#15 IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax)

#16 Liquor Taxes

#17 Luxury Taxes

#18 Marriage License Taxes

#19 Medicare Taxes

#20 Property Taxes

#21 Recreational Vehicle Taxes

#22 Toll Booth Taxes

#23 Sales Taxes

#24 Self-Employment Taxes

#25 School Taxes

#26 Septic Permit Taxes

#27 Service Charge Taxes

#28 Social Security Taxes

#29 State Unemployment Taxes (SUTA)

#30 Telephone Federal Excise Taxes

#31 Telephone Federal Universal Service Fee Taxes

#32 Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Taxes

#33 Telephone State And Local Taxes

#34 Tire Taxes

#35 Toll Bridge Taxes

#36 Toll Tunnel Taxes

#37 Traffic Fines (indirect taxation)

#38 Utility Taxes

#39 Vehicle License Registration Taxes

#40 Vehicle Sales Taxes

#41 Workers Compensation Taxes

When you account for all forms of taxation on the federal, state and local levels there are many Americans that pay out more than half of their incomes in taxes.

We are being taxed into oblivion, and yet most Americans do not even realize that it is happening.

It is kind of like being killed by thousands of tiny cuts.

So what do all of these taxes buy us?

They buy us a massively bloated government that wastes money on some of the craziest things imaginable.

Millions of Americans work for the federal government, and yet most of them produce very little of real economic value.  The following comes from a recent National Review article....

By 2005, the federal government employed 14.6 million people: 1.9 million civil servants, 770,000 postal workers, 1.44 million uniformed service personnel, 7.6 million contractors, and 2.9 million grantees. This amounted to a ratio of five and a half “shadow” government employees for every civil servant on the federal payroll. Since 1999, the government had grown by over 4.5 million employees.

According to that same article, when you add in state and local government workers the numbers are even more dramatic....

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 3.8 million full-time and 1.5 million part-time employees on state payrolls. Local governments add a further 11 million full-time and 3.2 million part-time personnel. This means that state and local governments combined employ 19.5 million Americans.

Yes, we do need some government.  For example, without any law enforcement at all our society would descend into complete chaos, and without any military at all we would be completely open to foreign conquest.

In order to have a stable, secure society we do need some government.

However, we definitely do not need the massively bloated government that we have today.

The truth is that most government employees are a drain on the system.  Most of them just push paper around.  I used to work in Washington D.C. so I know what pushing paper around is all about.

And as I wrote about yesterday, there are millions of other Americans that enjoy a comfortable existence at the expense of the federal government without doing any work whatsoever.

Of course the biggest welfare recipients of all are the big corporations.  All forms of corporate welfare should be eliminated immediately.

When are U.S. taxpayers going to get sick and tired of paying for all of this?

Every single year, the federal government, state governments and local governments drain massive amounts of desperately needed money from hard working middle class families.

Then they take that money and spend it on incredibly foolish things.

When are American voters going to stand up and boldly declare that they have been taxed enough already and they aren't going to take it anymore?

The current tax code is completely and utterly broken and it is beyond repair.

Unfortunately, neither the Republicans or the Democrats are proposing that we should get rid of it.

So we are just going to continue to get more of the same year after year, and it is the middle class that will feel the pain.’

Today, it has risen to 15.5 trillion dollars. So Bernanke did not fix anything. The best that can be said is that he kicked the can down the road a little bit and made our long-term financial problems a lot worse at the same time.

Any financial system that is based on debt is doomed to fail.  Today, we are living in the greatest debt bubble that the world has ever seen, and if all of a sudden people could not use credit to buy things our economy would immediately ground to a halt.  Unfortunately, no debt bubble can last forever.  When this current debt bubble finally bursts, faith in the financial system is going to disappear, credit is going to freeze up and there is going to be a massive wave of bank failures.

Drug war hypocrisy: drug trafficking’s big money benefits Big Brother and corrupt banksters  PF Louis | The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is centers on the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. Natural News February 1, 2012  [  http://albertpeia/americangovernmentdrugtrafficking.htm     http://albertpeia/americascorruptiondrugtrade.htm  http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm  
http://albertpeia.com/stansberrycorruptiondeclineofamerica.htm ]  ‘The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is outrageous when compared to the amount of drug trafficking that benefits the CIA and international banking system. The son of a convicted notorious mobster, John Gotti Jr, when asked in court if the family still dealt drugs cracked, “No, we can’t compete with the government.”

Today in Afghanistan, American troops have been seen guarding poppy fields used to make heroin. Those fields were all but wiped out by 2001 when the Taliban destroyed them and forbade that agricultural pursuit. Now they’re flourishing again after the American occupation.

This doesn’t make sense despite all the mainstream reports that American troops are protecting the poppy farmers from the bad guys. Internet sites such as Prison Planet, Info Wars, The Political Coffeehouse and others report otherwise. They connect the CIA and US military to restarting the poppy fields in Afghanistan in 2002, increasing poppy growth by over 650 percent. Who’s telling it like it is?

One way the CIA keeps their drug trafficking hidden from public view

The CIA’s secret operations to influence journalism started in the 1950s by infiltrating the media and bribing journalists to be operatives and assets for the CIA. By 1976, then CIA director William Colby reportedly bragged that the CIA owned the press. Supposedly, this too secret to name operation was coined “Operation Mockingbird” by Deborah Davis in her book Katherine the Great.

Operation Mockingbird worked well against prize winning journalist Gary Webb when his newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News, ran his in depth series on CIA drug trafficking that flooded the USA to help finance the CIA backed Nicaraguan Contras during the 1980s.

Journalists all over the USA jumped on the series, claiming Webb’s journalism was shoddy. The newspaper had to recant and fire him, and Gary Webb was black listed from mainstream journalism completely.

 

Webb retaliated by having his book Dark Alliance published and making the NY Times best seller list, forcing some of his critics to privately eat crow after the fact.

Despite the CIA’s control of the press, a few Mexico and Central America cocaine busts of plane cargoes and discoveries of large cocaine stashes on crashed planes with CIA hired pilots flying them for front companies did hit the mainstream news, albeit briefly.

Remember the movie “Air America?” It was based on an actual CIA owned front company transporting tons of heroin from Southeast Asia’s “Golden Triangle” poppy fields during and after the Vietnam conflicts. Now Afghanistan and the “Golden Crescent” are the featured opium/heroin conduit sources.

Government and big business using drug traffic profits is nothing new

When the U.S. government made deals with the Cosa Nostra mafia to help police ports and harbors during WW II, they breathed life into the heroin trade. Eventually, Marseilles, France was set up by the Corsican mafia to become the “French Connection” for heroin traffic.

But opium trade history goes back further, to colonial times and early America. That’s when American shipping magnates used their fast Clipper Ships to compete with England’s monarch sanctioned dope running East India Company for transporting opium to China.

A few key players created family fortunes from the China opium trade that exist today within some northeast America’s “old money” families.

Among the familiar family names, according to Wikipedia (source below) is Forbes. Another source mentions Astor, a prominently wealthy philanthropic family around New York today (Wiki source below). In those days, trafficking dope was a legitimate business endeavor, immoral but not illegal.

Now it is illegal as well. Ironically, this allows the biggest illicit drug providers to financially benefit the CIA and international banking.’

My Christmas Cards Predict "Eternal Conflict" And "Economic Disaster" Forbes Robert Lenzner  ‘For the first time in my life, some Christmas messages are  weighing in  about the worrisome condition of  US economy and the financial markets– as well as  family news.  Obviously, the crisis we are  facing is  triggering disheartening expressions of concern at holiday time.

This from  a former state finance chairman for George Bush, who is so distressed he is staying out of the primary race.

On Jobs; ” I wonder why our candidates have not come forward to feature as the main and vital keystone of their campaign that sector in the economy which can create millions of jobs and solve our huge foreign trade deficit– converting our $300 billion plus purchase of foreign oil to domestic energy– electrification of transportation, more natural gas, nuclear, more domestic oil drilling, clean coal, and all the domestic alternatives.”

On the deficit:  ” I have also become very disheartened with our politicians’ inability to strike a grand compromise on reducing  the federal deficit. We are considerably constrained by the Grover Norquist tax pledge signed by so many Republicans, wherein an elimination of a tax loophole which takes the recovered revenue and applies it to reduce debt is considered a tax increase and therefore unacceptable. This position will never allow the Republicans to negotiate and compromise( a noble word) with the democrats on a combination of a massive expense reduction with a modest revenue increase.”

All this from a conservative Republican in a key state who is utterly frustrated by “ eternal gridlock in Washington“— and determined to spend considerably more quality time with his family. All this ranting in a Christmas card; it’s a first.

Then, there’s the retired New England real estate consultant and developer who is “fearful about the impending winter. The world seems to be perilously close to economic disaster and depression, and folks are rushing out to buy gold and guns.” ‘

 

 

A Very Scary Christmas And An Incredibly Frightening New Year http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com  ‘Can you hear that?  It almost sounds like a little bit of peace and quiet.  This year, the holiday season has been fairly uneventful, and for that we should be very grateful.  But it isn't going to last long.  2012 is going to be a much more difficult year for the U.S. economy and the global financial system than 2011 has been.  So if things are going well for you right now, enjoy this little bubble of peace and tranquility while you can.  Because while things may look calm on the surface right now, the truth is that this is a very scary Christmas for financial professionals and world leaders.  Most of them know how fragile the global financial system is at the moment.  Most of them know that we are living in the greatest bubble of debt, leverage and financial risk that the world has ever seen.  As I wrote about the other day, world leaders would not be throwing huge bailouts around like crazy if everything was going to be just fine.  The truth is that we are rapidly approaching another financial crisis that may end up being even worse than the horrific crash of 2008…’

The S&P 500 has rallied 5% since testing and holding support at 1200 and is now firmly into resistance, an ideal spot for short sellers to lay out positions.European banks continue to tell equity market investors to stand aside.

A fair amount of the recently ECB auctioned EUR489 billion ended up right back at the ECB instead of in the interbank lending market.The ECB also reported a second week of anemic sovereign bond buying.

It's Official: US Debt-To-GDP Passes 100% With precisely one year left for the world and all of its inhabitants, at least according to the Mayans, not to mention on the day of the Winter Solstice, it is only fitting that US debt, net of all settlements for all already completed bond auctions, is now at precisely $15,182,756,264,288.80. Why is this relevant? Because the latest annualized US GDP, according to the BEA, was $15,180,900,000.00. Which means that, as of today, total US debt to GDP is 100.012%. Congratulations America: you are now in the triple digit "debt to GDP" club!

 

 

Mark Faber: "I Am Convinced The Whole Derivatives Market Will Cease To Exist And Will Go To Zero"Anyone seeking joyous holiday greetings and cheerful forecasts for the new year is advised to not listen to the following most recent Mark Faber interview, in which in addition to his predictions for 2012 (led with "more printing" by the dodecatupling +1 down central planners of course, and far less prosperity), we get the following: "I am convinced the whole derivatives market will cease to exit. Will become zero. And when it happens I don't know: you can postpone the problems with monetary measures for a long time but you can't solve them... Greece should have defaulted - it would have sent a message that not all derivatives are equal because it depends on the counterparty." And on the long-term future: "I am ultra bearish. I think most people will be lucky if they still have 50% of their money in 5 years time. You have to have diversification - some real estate in the countryside, some gold and some equities because if you think it through, say Germany 1900 to today, we had WWI, we had hyperinflation, WWII, cash holders and bondholders they lost everything 3 times, but if you owned equities you'd be ok. In equities in general you will not lose it all, it may not be a good investment, unless you put it all in one company and it goes bankrupt." As for gold: "I am worried that one day the government will take it away." As for the one thing he hates the most? No surprise here -government bonds.

 

 

 

 

 

Has the Global Economy Been Zapped by ZIRP?  Minyanville  Eugene Linden Dec 21, 2011 ‘Zero interest rate policies dominate the world's largest economies -- a situation that's contributing to the worsening pension crisis, the unnaturally buoyant equity markets, the need for quantitative easing, and even the bull market in gold. Read more: http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/zero-interest-rate-policy-zirp-us/12/21/2011/id/38513#ixzz1hFyFn7Pb  Eclipsed by Europe’s sovereign debt agony has been one overriding, but overlooked factor that will increasingly distort economies and the financial markets as 2012 unfolds: the Zero-Interest-Rate-Policy. ZIRP is now as encompassing and pervasive as the air we breathe, and this in itself is unprecedented.

Historically, examples of ZIRP are few and far between – and usually very brief – but now ZIRP and near-ZIRP dominate the interest rate policies for most of the world’s largest economies. We’re in uncharted territory. More worrisome, the longer an economy embraces ZIRP, the harder it is to extricate itself. In fact, as far as I can tell, no one has exited extended ZIRP intact and voluntarily. Some, like Kyle Bass, argue that once a nation gets trapped in ZIRP for an extended period, the only escape is through debt restructuring. Others say war.

ZIRP has been the policy of the United States since 2008; it has been the policy of Japan for most of the past two decades, and it is becoming the policy of the ECB, at least in terms of ECB short-term funding. Currently, over two trillion dollars of US debt is paying zero or near zero interest, as is trillions more debt in Japan and elsewhere. This unprecedented situation has contributed to the worsening pension crisis, the unnaturally buoyant equity markets, the rescue of US banks, the need for quantitative easing, and even the bull market in gold. It has spectacularly failed in its originally trumpeted mission to restart lending to the consumer (the money multiplier is still near all-time lows). And now, central bankers are discovering that ZIRP is a poisoned chalice.

The problem is as simple and intractable as human nature. So long as there's a market willing to buy a government’s debt (or buyers who can be forced to buy said debt), ZIRP offers the promise of vast new funds with virtually no increase in carrying costs. If the problem is short-term liquidity, the theory is that ZIRP buys the time necessary to restart growth. If the problem is solvency, however, ZIRP is viewed as an alternative to a painful restructuring. In that case (e.g. Japan), the rotten debts remain on the books of the banks, hobbling the lending that is necessary for the economic growth that will enable the central bankers to wean the economy off the drug.

Faced with little or no economic growth and anemic tax receipts, central bankers keep pumping out new debt. When Japan started with ZIRP, its debt to GDP ratio was 40%. In 2003 it was 93%. Now it’s 234%, and Japan’s aging buyers (Japanese purchase 95% of the country’s new debt) are starting to spend for their retirement, rather than save. Across the Pacific in the US, debt-to-GDP was 57% in 2000; in 2008, when the US adopted ZIRP, debt to GDP was about 68%; in the three years since it has risen to 99%.

The US did begin to approach ZIRP earlier in the last decade when Alan Greenspan drastically cut rates to 1% to restart a frozen credit market. That was a defensible response to a liquidity crisis, but Greenspan kept the policy too long, fueling the housing and credit bubbles, and setting the stage for the crash of 2008. ZIRP is like a opium-based painkiller. It might get you through a crisis (if there isn’t the political will for a restructuring), but chronic use is addictive and debilitating. The mechanics of the addiction are simple: the more debt-burdened an economy becomes, the more additional debt it needs for growth, and the less growth we get for the increment. This is termed debt saturation. A dollar of new debt in 1960 produced about 90 cents of additional GDP. That ratio turned negative in the last couple of years.

At the same time, to keep the interest burden of debt from spiraling out of the control, nations are tempted to shift to shorter duration. This has the effect of leaving a country ever more vulnerable should central bankers be forced to raise interest rates. Interest payments are now just 1% of GDP and 5.7% % of US expenditures, actually fairly low (though, even at these levels, interest chews up 14% of each tax dollar collected). In fact, the interest bill for US debt is just 4.6% higher than it was in 2007 and virtually the same as in 2008 despite the fact that the debt has exploded since those years. The average rate the US pays on debt is about 3%, and is coming down as roughly half the debt gets rolled each year.

But we’ve reached a place where even a historically modest rise – say 2% -- would start gobbling huge chunks of tax revenue to the point where tax revenues are flat to declining. The longer ZIRP continues, the more onerous the cost of raising interest rates. Past some unknown point, ZIRP begets more ZIRP. We may be past that point as the fed has said ZIRP will be the US policy into 2013. If the natural buyers get wary, there is always the Fed to buy the debt. What we saw earlier this year was that even as the Chinese balked at buying treasuries (down from 47% of new issuance in 2006 to 5% in 2010), the Fed stepped in through quantitative easing to buy the lion’s share of new debt. That program ended in July, but then, in the nick of time, the European sovereign debt crisis went critical, and prompted foreign buyers to show up (and the FED is still in there as it reinvests proceeds as securities roll off its balance sheet). Should the flight to safety abate, it’s highly likely QE will resume if only because this is a treadmill from which there is no escape (a recognition of which may have played into the historic S&P downgrade of US debt).

How long can this continue? In Japan it has continued for nearly 20 years, thanks to a thrifty population with $17 trillion in savings. But even that party is approaching endgame. Its massive debt has already been downgraded, now Aa3, but it still pays less than Germany, with an average interest expense of 1.12% this year. Japan’s problem is that its aging savers are becoming spenders (the savings rate dropped to 3% this year) and the population has dropped 3% in the past few years as well. So it has fewer, cash-flow negative citizens to absorb ever more debt. Long term rates and dollar swaptions have already started to edge up, and, having run huge deficits since the inauguration of ZIRP in 1993, Japan has little capacity to endure an interest rate hike. According to Kyle Bass, who analogizes a Japan short to the subprime play in 2007-08, a 100 basis point rise in debt service costs would consume an additional 25% of tax revenue. Disregard any talk that might come from Japan about raising interest rates, it simply cannot happen.

 

ZIRP turns out to be a trap that ensnares everybody, and not just the countries that adopt the policy. During a briefing an economist from Tejas made the comment that once a major economy adopts ZIRP, Central Banks all over the world lose control of their monetary policy. I was puzzled about the mechanics of that until I came across an example from Israel.
 
The transmission mechanism is the carry trade.  Starting in 2009, despite its precarious geopolitical situation, Israel saw its currency strengthen as investors came in searching for yield. According to Michael Pomerleano writing in the Financial Times, as the shekel strengthened against the dollar, its central bank was forced to intervene to buy Shekel’s lower interest rates and weaken the currency, even though the bank actually wanted to raise rates to combat alarming inflation in the housing sector.

While foreign money might be enticed to borrow in ZIRP countries and invest elsewhere, domestic institutions like pension funds and insurers are driven to search for yield to meet the estimated returns embedded in their models. A pension fund using an 8% expected return is going to find itself ever deeper underwater if it is stuck in fixed income in such an interest rate regime. This is one reason hedge funds haven’t gone out of fashion even though their returns have been more dismal than not since 2008. The search for yield has also underpinned the recovery of the High Yield market since  the crash. ZIRP may have saved pensions and insurers from an immediate crash in 2008, but it has subjected them to a merciless squeeze ever since.

Individual savers find themselves caught between embracing risk and spending principal. This is not the choice retiring baby boomers expected, particularly since most were under-saved for retirement even as other safety nets develop holes.

Other unintended consequences have to do with the freeze up in interbank lending. With short term yields virtually non-existent, there is no incentive for the big banks to use funds in excess reserves to lend to smaller banks. Why take any risk in interbank lending when your reward is virtually the same as holding cash. The lack of liquidity in the interbank market in turn disrupts the forward market for FX futures (according to Stamford economist Ronald McKinnon), and this in turn makes lenders less willing to back letters of credit for exporters – something that happened in the midst of the crisis in 2008.

There have been positive benefits of ZIRP, including cheap debt for those companies lucky enough to have access to the credit markets. Most notably, has been the relationship between ZIRP’s evil twin, quantitative easing, and the buoyant stock market. Nothing makes this point as starkly as a simple chart of the S&P in 2011. The first half year was relatively smooth under the protective umbrella of quantitative easing, while the second half looks like the EKG of a heart attack (see below).

Ben Bernanke is a brilliant economist, and I’m certain that he is more aware than I am of the pitfalls of employing ZIRP for an extended period. So why did he do it? My guess is that he went to ZIRP because he felt he had no choice. In 2008 he was caught between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, he desperately needed to funnel money and a yield curve to the banks. All well and good, but the defensible solution–the course taken by Sweden in 1993–would have been to saddle the taxpayers with these costs only after the banks’ shareholders and debt holders had shared the pain. As one pundit put it: a nation needs banks, but a nation doesn’t need these particular banks.
 
So again, why didn’t Bernanke recognize that? A few people know, and they haven’t been saying. One suspicion is that our major creditors in Asia and the Mideast were also huge holders of bank shares and debt and threatened mutually assured destruction if they were forced to write down these holdings. Another, simpler explanation, is that US pension funds were also huge holders of shares and debt of the banks as well as of mortgage-backed securities, and that an omnibus write down of all these assets would cause a pension crisis the likes of which this country had never seen.

ZIRP, in concert with the various bailout programs and the stimulus, offered a way to buy time, and that’s what happened. But what happens next?

Right now, this question is still at the edges of the radar. When ZIRP is discussed at all, it is in the context of inflation fears. Indeed, inflation is one way a debt burden might be reduced, but when that day comes, soaring interest rates will force defaults and restructurings. The Goldilocks solution is to grow our way to exit. Given that both governments and households are still burdened with trillions in excess debt (as well as the issue of debt saturation), it is difficult to imagine how we could finance that growth even if an obvious and politically viable path to growth presented itself. This suggests that we will do what Japan has done and string out ZIRP until something – internal or external – forces a change.

This means that the economy and the markets will remain in this surreal context of ZIRP for an indeterminate period, even as awareness grows that there will be no controlled ending for this halcyon period. It means that there will be further episodes of quantitative easing, either overt or by stealth.

This money will likely flow into equity markets as it has in the past. It also means that government institutions will likely be major players in interbank lending for the indefinite future and that consumer lending will be constrained for the indefinite future. And with major economies printing money to maintain the illusion that there is a market for their sovereign debt, it means that commodities will continue to find a bid, even as the global economy contracts (though there will be dramatic downdrafts on specific events such as noticeable cooling in China).

It also means that the pension crisis will continue to worsen, and that the already dire situation for retirees will continue to worsen, with implications for burdens on various levels of government as well as for consumer spending.

And then, of course, ZIRP, though encompassing, is but one of the factors that will be influencing our markets in the coming months. The unresolved sovereign debt issues in the EU, a cooling China economy, and a host of US issues, also cloud the future. For the moment ZIRP hovers at the edges of the mindspace of a financial community focused on Europe and other critical issues. But, make no mistake, we’re in unknown territory as far as knowing at what constitute’s ZIRP’s event horizon, the point beyond which there is no escape. Has Japan crossed that point? Is the US approaching it? One hopes that we don’t discover this answer in retrospect.

Getting Worse: 40 Undeniable Pieces Of Evidence That Show That America Is In Decline The Economic Collapse | Is America in decline? That is a very provocative question. The Economic Collapse December 21, 2011

Is America in decline?  That is a very provocative question.  I have found that most people that hate the United States are very eager to agree that America is in decline, while a lot of those that love the United States are very hesitant to admit that America is in decline.  Well, I am proud to be an American, but I cannot lie and tell you that America is doing just fine.  The pieces of evidence compiled below are undeniable.  Our economy is deathly ill and is rapidly getting worse.  We were handed the keys to the greatest economic machine in the history of the world and we have wrecked it.  But until we are willing to look in the mirror and admit how bad things have gotten, we won’t be ready for the solutions that are necessary.  The truth is that there are things that we can do to reverse the decline.  It does not have to be permanent.  We have gotten away from the things that made America great, and we need to admit that we are on the wrong path and start fixing this country.  But if we choose to continue down the road that we are currently on, it will lead us into the darkest chapters in American history.

The following are 40 undeniable pieces of evidence that show that America is in decline….

#1 Back in 1985, 11 million vehicles were sold in America.  In 2009, only 5.4 million vehicles were sold in America.

#2 In 1990, the median age of a vehicle in the United States was just 6.5 years.  Today, the median age of a vehicle in the United States is approximately 10 years.

#3 The average price of a gallon of gasoline in 2011 has been $3.50.  That is a new all-time record.  The previous record was $3.24 in 2008.

#4 The average American household will have spent an astounding $4,155 on gasoline by the time the year is over.

#5 The number of children in the United States without a permanent home has increased by 38 percent since 2007.

#6 A decade ago, the United States was ranked number one in average wealth per adult.  By 2010, the United States had fallen to seventh.

#7 The U.S. tax code is now more than 50,000 pages longer than it used to be.

#8 American 15-year-olds do not even rank in the top half of all advanced nations when it comes to math or science literacy.

#9 The United States once had the highest proportion of young adults with post-secondary degrees in the world.  Today, the U.S. has fallen to 12th.

#10 After adjusting for inflation, U.S. college students are borrowing about twice as much money as they did a decade ago.

#11 The student loan default rate has nearly doubled since 2005.

#12 Our economy is not producing nearly enough jobs for our college graduates.  The percentage of mail carriers with a college degree is now 4 times higher than it was back in 1970.

#13 Our infrastructure was once the envy of the world.  Today, U.S. infrastructure is ranked 23rd.

#14 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.

#15 Since the year 2000, incomes for U.S. households led by someone between the ages of 25 and 34 have fallen by about 12 percent after you adjust for inflation.

#16 According to U.S. Representative Betty Sutton, America has lost an average of 15 manufacturing facilities a day over the last 10 years.  During 2010 it got even worse.  Last year, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities a day shut down in the United States.

#17 In all, more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities in the United States have shut down since 2001.

#18 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.

#19 Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry was actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975.

#20 In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of all U.S. economic output.  In 2008, it represented only 11.5 percent.

#21 The television manufacturing industry began in the United States.  So how many televisions are manufactured in the United States today?  According to Princeton University economist Alan S. Blinder, the grand total is zero.

#22 The U.S. trade deficit with China in 2010 was 27 times larger than it was back in 1990.

#23 The Economic Policy Institute says that since 2001 America has lost approximately 2.8 million jobs due to our trade deficit with China alone.

#24 According to one study, between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation.

#25 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

#26 The size of the economy in India is projected to surpass the size of the U.S. economy by the year 2050.

#27 One prominent economist believes that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040.

#28 In 2001, the United States ranked fourth in the world in per capita broadband Internet use.  Today it ranks 15th.

#29 Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty.  Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

#30 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans dropped into poverty.  That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

#31 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 6.7% of all Americans are living in “extreme poverty”, and that is the highest level that has ever been recorded before.

#32 The percentage of children living in poverty in the United States increased from 16.9 percent in 2006 to nearly 22 percent in 2010.  In the UK and in France the child poverty rate is well under 10 percent.

#33 As I wrote about the other day, since 2007 the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

#34 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits.  Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#35 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#36 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent.

#37 Today, the “too big to fail” banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

#38 Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lostover 95 percent of its purchasing power.

#39 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

#40 The U.S. national debt is now nearly 15 times larger than it was just 30 years ago.

Sadly, most Americans are not fired up about turning this country around.  Way too many of them realize that things are getting worse, but they have “checked out” and are just going through the motions of life.

A perfect example is posted below.  In this video, a FedEx delivery guy just chucks a computer monitor over somebody’s fence……Can you believe he did that?

The sad thing is that the guy was actually home at the time and all the FedEx employee needed to do was ring the bell.

This is the kind of attitude that is killing America.

We all need to start caring again.  We all need to start taking pride in what we do.  We all need to start working hard again.  We all need to make sure that we are living with a sense of personal integrity.

When a nation simply does not care anymore, even a con man can become president.

During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Barack Obama said that only 3 presidents in U.S. history accomplished more than he did during the first two years of his presidency….

“The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do.”

He had to be joking, right?

Sadly, he was not joking.

But it is not just Barack Obama.  The truth is that both political parties are absolutely littered with con men, charlatans and corrupt politicians.

It is going to be up to the American people to get educated about how bad things have really gotten, to start demanding solutions, and to start voting much better people into positions of authority.

If dramatic changes are not made, our economy will continue to get worse and the decline of America will continue to accelerate.

We cannot stay on this road my friends.

It is only going to lead to a total nightmare.

Please share this information as widely as possible, and please try to wake up as many of your fellow Americans as you can while there is still time.’

 

 

 

 

 

Ten Reasons To Fear And Loathe Markets In 2012  Forbes Robert Lenzner

#1. European Sovereign Debt  is a greater burden on the economies of Italy and France than the debt overhang in  the U.S. Italy has $2.46 trillion of debt to a $2 trillion GDP. As Vice President Biden puts it “We did our bailout. They’ve got to do their bailout.”  The posturing has been limited to letting nations borrow cheaply to add on more debt so as not to default.

#2. The ramification  for the US  from Europe is  a reduction of 1% growth in US GDP– which means much less growth than might have been expected. This, in turn, puts added stress on valuations in our financial markets, where multiples of earnings are expected to slide as investors run away from risk-on assets.

#3. Continued pressure on the earnings and book values of both European and US banks. This can be seen in the way bank shares have traded this year, with global banks getting pounded, and only regional banks with strong balance sheets being favored.

#4. Continued  selling pressure on the prices of key commodities like oil, copper and iron ore due to expectd slowness i the global economy.

#5.  The imbecility of extending the payroll tax deduction for only two more months– a horrendous sign of political weakness with dire economic ramifications.

#6. Residential housing market still mightily impaired and not expected to recover for another 3 years. Still many millions of homes where mortgage debt greater than the market value of the homes.

#7. Antipathy individual investor for long term equity investing. Rise of the short-yterm investor such as hedge funds using leverage, requiring volatility, better informed than the public investor.

#8. Expectation reduction $1.2 trillion from US budget over next 10 years. Can only mean less money in circulation, less income to invest, lower GDP, less economic growth rate. This is the reality being denied by most investors.

#9. Overall theme of  deflation, deleveraging can only mean lower asset prices.

#10.  Chance of social unrest in China, upheaval that affects move to consumer economy,  and lack of leadership from 10% of global economy.

 

 

We’ve Reached the End Game For Central Bank Intervention   http://gainspainscapital.com December 19th, 2011 We’ve reached the end game for Central Bank intervention.When confronted with excessive debt, you can either “take the hit” or you can try to inflate the debt away.In 2008, the Central Banks, lead by the US Federal Reserve, decided not to “take the hit.” They’ve since spent trillions of Dollars propping up the financial system. By doing this, they’ve essentially attempted to fight a debt problem by issuing more debt.The end result is similar to what happens when you try to cure a heroine addict by giving him more heroine: each new “hit” has less and less effect.Case in point, consider the Central Banks’ coordinated intervention to lower the cost of borrowing Dollars three weeks ago. Remember, this was a coordinated effort, not the Federal Reserve or European Central Bank acting alone. And yet, here we are, less than one month later, and European banks have wiped out MOST if not ALL of the gains the intervention produced…’

PORTER STANSBERRY OF STANSBERRY RESEARCH

THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICA

The numbers tell us America is in decline... if not outright collapse.

I say "the numbers tell us" because I've become very sensitive to the impact this kind of statement has on people. When I warned about the impending bankruptcy of General Motors in 2006 and 2007, readers actually blamed me for the company's problems – as if my warnings to the public were the real problem, rather than GM's $400 billion in debt.

The claim was absurd. But the resentment my work engendered was real.

So please... before you read this issue, which makes several arresting claims about the future of our country... understand I am only writing about the facts as I find them today. I am only drawing conclusions based on the situation as it stands. I am not saying that these conditions can't improve. Or that they won't improve.

The truth is, I am optimistic. I believe our country is heading into a crisis. But I also believe that... sooner or later... Americans will make the right choices and put our country back on sound footing.

Please pay careful attention to the data I cite. And please send me corrections to the facts. I will happily publish any correction that can be substantiated. But please don't send me threats, accusations against my character, or baseless claims about my lack of patriotism. If I didn't love our country, none of these facts would bother me. I wouldn't have bothered writing this letter.

I know this is a politically charged and emotional issue. My conclusions will not be easy for most readers to accept. Likewise, many of the things I am writing about this month will challenge my subscribers to re-examine what they believe about their country. The facts about America today tell a painful story about a country in a steep decline, beset by problems of its own making.

One last point, before we begin... I realize that this kind of macro-economic/political analysis is not, primarily, what you pay me for.

You rightly expect me to provide you with investment opportunities – whether bull market, bear market, or total societal collapse. And that's what I've done every month for more than 15 years.

But that's not what I've done this month. You won't find any investment ideas at all in these pages. This issue is unlike any other I have ever written.

I'm sure it will spark a wave of cancellations – costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars. I fear it will spark a tremendous amount of controversy. Many people will surely accuse me of deliberately writing inflammatory things in order to stir the pot and gain attention. That's not my intention. The truth is, I've gone to great lengths throughout my career to protect my privacy.

I am speaking out now because I believe someone must. And I have the resources to do it. I am sharing these ideas with my subscribers because I know we have arrived at the moment of a long-brewing crisis.

Our political leaders, our business leaders, and our cultural leaders have made a series of catastrophic choices. The result has been a long decline in America's standard of living.

For decades, we have papered over these problems with massive amounts of borrowing. But now, our debts total close to 400% of GDP, and America is the world's largest borrower (after being the world's largest creditor only 40 years ago)... And the holes in our society can no longer be hidden...

We've reached the point where we will have to fix what lies at the heart of America's decline... or be satisfied with a vastly lower standard of living in the future.

How do I know? How do I statistically define the decline of America?

The broadest measure of national wealth is per-capita gross domestic product (GDP). Economists use this figure to judge standards of living around the world. It shows the value of the country's annual production divided by the number of its citizens. No, the production isn't actually divided among all the citizens, but this measure provides us with a fair benchmark to compare different economies around the world. Likewise, this measure shows the growth (or the decline) in wealth in societies across time.

So... is America growing richer or poorer based on per-capita GDP? Seems like a simple enough question, doesn't it? Is our economy growing faster than our population? Are we, as individuals, becoming more affluent? Or is the pie, measured on a per-person basis, growing smaller?
This is the most fundamental measure of the success or the failure of any political system or culture. Are the legal and social rules we live under aiding our economic development or holding us back? What do the numbers say?

Unfortunately, it's a harder question to answer than it should be. The problem is, we don't have a sound currency with which to measure GDP through time. Until 1971, the U.S. dollar was defined as a certain amount of gold. And the price of gold was fixed by international agreement. It didn't actually begin to trade freely until 1975. Therefore, the value of the U.S. dollar (and thus the value of U.S. production, which is measured in dollars) was manipulated higher for many years.

Even today, our government's nominal GDP figures are greatly influenced by inflation. The influence of inflation is particularly pernicious in GDP studies. You see, inflation, which actually reduces our standard of living, drives up the amount of nominal GDP. So it creates the appearance of a wealthier country... while the nation is actually getting poorer.

The only real way to accurately measure per-capita GDP is to build our own model. The need to build our own tools tells you something important – the government doesn't want anyone to know the answer to this question. It could easily publish data far more accurate than the indexes it puts out. But government doesn't want anyone to know. And it wants to be able to say "those aren't the real data" when studies like ours produce bad news.

So pay attention to how we built our charts. You can see for yourself that our data are far more accurate than the government's figures. Our data are based on the real purchasing power of the currency, not the nominal numbers, which are completely meaningless in the real world.

The question we are trying to answer is: What would per-capita GDP numbers look like, if we used a real-world currency, like gold, or a basket of commodity prices, instead of the paper-based U.S. dollar? What would the figures be if we measured GDP in sound money instead of the government's funny money?

Here's how we figured it out. We took the government numbers for nominal GDP and measured them first against commodity prices, and later (after it began to trade freely) gold. We used a standard commodity index (the CRB) up to 1975 and gold post-1975. The result of this analysis shows you the real trend in U.S. per-capita GDP, as measured on a real-world purchasing power basis.

Our analysis shows you what's actually happened to our real standard of living. The results, we suspect, will surprise even the most bearish among you.

America is in a steep decline.

Americans Are Getting Poorer – Fast

Let me anticipate the "official" criticism of our study. Many people will claim that our numbers aren't "real." They will say that we "mined" the data to produce a chart that showed a steep decline.

That's simply not so. All we've done is convert the government's nominal GDP stats into a fixed currency value that's based on real-world purchasing power. The fact is, our data are far more accurate than the government's because they represent the real-world experience.

That's why our data are far more closely correlated to other real-world studies of wealth in America.

Consider, for example, annual sales of automobiles. Auto sales peaked in 1985 (11 million) and have been declining at a fairly steady rate since 1999. In 2009, Americans bought just 5.4 million passenger cars. As a result, the median age of a registered vehicle in the U.S. is almost 10 years.

Our data shows that real per-capita wealth peaked in the late 1960s. Guess when we find the absolutely lowest median age of the U.S. fleet? In 1969. At the end of the 1960s, the median age of all the cars on the road in the U.S. was only 5.1 years. Even as recently as 1990, the median age was only 6.5 years.

Rich people buy new cars. Poor people do not.

Most important, our data "proves" something I know many of you have felt or perceived for many years. You've seen the decline of your neighborhoods. You've gone years without being able to earn more money in your job. Or you've seen your purchasing power decrease to the point where you're now substituting lower-quality products on your grocery list for the brand-name products you used to buy.

You can see how much harder it is on your children to find good jobs, to buy good housing or a new car. As a result, few people under the age of 40 have the same kind of "life story" as their parents.

And because they can't "make it," many have decided to "fake it." The average college student now graduates with $24,000 in debt... and by his late 20s has racked up more than $6,000 in credit card debt. Meanwhile, median earnings for Americans aged 25-34 equals $34,000-$38,000. (Source: Demos.org, "The Economic State of Young America," November 2011.)

Can you imagine starting your life out as an adult with a personal debt-to-income level at close to 100%? What does this say about the state of our economy? What does this say about the state of our culture?

Who Suffers Most

It's not only the young that are having trouble in America. It is also the old.

Debt levels among households headed by people older than 62 have been rising for two decades. The average mortgage size for this population is now $71,000 – five times larger than it was in 1987 (adjusted for inflation), according to William Apgar of Harvard's Joint
Center
for Housing Studies.

Older Americans are also more reliant on credit card debt than ever before... credit card debt. From 1992 through 2007 (which is the latest data available) older Americans took on credit card debt at a faster pace than the population as a whole. According to USA Today, lower- and middle-income Americans aged 65 and older now carry an average of more than $10,000 in credit card debt, up 26% since only 2005.
Given average interest rates of 20% for these debts, it's a fair bet that these obligations will never be repaid. But they will have a terrible impact on the standard of living of these older Americans.

What in the heck is going on? Don't Americans pay off their mortgages before they retire? Don't they work hard during their careers, save, and invest, so they can move to Florida and spend their retirement in comfort?

Older Americans living with credit card debt! This doesn't sound like America, does it? Or maybe it does.

My bet is that most of my subscribers know that something has gone terribly wrong with America. It's not easy to figure out how all of this happened... but you know from your own experiences that these numbers aren't wrong. It might not be pleasant to think about... but these figures paint a sad but accurate picture: America is not the country it was 40 years ago. These changes are warping our economy, politics, and culture.

In this month's issue, I'd like to try to define a few of the core reasons we're in this situation. I can't possibly analyze all the factors that have led to this decline. But I want to document the growth of graft in politics. I want to demonstrate – with real facts and examples – how public company leadership has deteriorated. And I want to document some of the things that are occurring in the broader society, all of which I believe are linked to this fundamental decline in our standard of living.

You see, I believe the decline of our country is primarily a decline of our culture.

We have lost our sense of honor, humility, and the dedication to personal responsibility that, for more than 200 years, made our country the greatest hope for mankind. I want to detail some of the factors that gave rise to the current entitlement society. We have become a country of people who believe their well-being is someone else's responsibility.

I've labeled these problems: The Corruption of America.

These problems manifest themselves in different ways across institutions in all parts of our society. But at their root, they are simply facets of the same stone. They are all part of the same essential problem.

The corruption of America isn't happening in one part of our country... or in one type of institution. It is happening across the landscape of our society, in almost every institution. It's a kind of moral decay... a kind of greed... a kind of desperate grasp for power... And it's destroying our nation.

The Ethos of 'Getting Yours'

Americans know, in their bones, that something terrible is happening. Maybe you can't articulate it. Maybe you don't have the statistics to understand exactly what's going on. But my bet is, you think about it a lot.

For me, a poignant moment of recognition came this month.

Bloomberg news published an article based on confidential sources about how Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and the Republican U.S. Treasury secretary during the financial crisis, held a secret meeting with the top 20 hedge-fund managers in New York City in late July 2008. This was about two weeks after he testified to Congress that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were "well-capitalized."
I knew for a fact that what Paulson told Congress wasn't true. I wrote my entire June 2008 newsletter detailing exactly why Fannie and Freddie certainly had billions in losses that they had not yet revealed to investors – $500 billion in losses, at least. There was no question in my mind, both companies were insolvent – "zeros," as I explained.

And yet, in front of Congress, the U.S. Treasury secretary was saying exactly the opposite. Either I was a liar... or he was.
Then... only a few days later... what did Paulson tell those hedge-fund managers?

He told them the same thing I had written in my newsletter. He told them the opposite of what he'd said publicly to Congress. He told these billionaire investors that Fannie and Freddie were a disaster... They would require an enormous, multibillion-dollar bailout... The U.S. government would have to take them over... And their shareholders would be completely wiped out.

Here you had a high-government official, explicitly lying to Congress (and by extension, the general public), while giving the real facts to a group of people who represented the financial interests of the world's wealthiest folks. The story didn't come to the public's attention for two years.

This was the most outrageous example of graft and corruption I have ever seen. Certainly it involves more billions of dollars in misappropriated value than any other similar story I can recall. These managers had the risk-free ability to make tens of billions of dollars, if not hundreds of billions, by using derivatives to capitalize on what they knew was the imminent collapse of the world's largest mortgage bank. Who picked up the tab? You know perfectly well. It was you and me, the taxpayers.

(One of the investment managers present at this meeting was Steve Rattner, who by that point was already deeply involved in another bit of graft, his efforts to bribe New York state pension-fund managers for large investments into his hedge fund, from which he earned perhaps as much as $100 million. He later settled the charges for a mere $10 million shortly after Andrew Cuomo was elected governor of New York.)
The Bloomberg story... about a crooked Treasury secretary handing a room full of crooked billionaires inside information worth billions of dollars... hardly caused a ripple. As far as I know, no actions are being planned against Henry Paulson or any of the hedge-fund managers involved. No other major media outlet picked up the story. I saw nothing about it from the Department of Justice or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

What does that say about our country when even the most egregious kind of corruption – involving hundreds of billions of dollars – is simply ignored?

It seems like everyone in our country has lost his moral bearing, from the highest government officials and senior corporate leaders all the way down to schoolteachers and local community leaders. The ethos of my fellow Americans seems to have changed from one of personal integrity and responsibility to "getting yours" – the all-out attempt, by any means possible, to get the most amount of benefits with the least amount of work.

You can see this in everything from the lowering of school standards (revising the SAT) to the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional, college, and high school sports. Cheating has become a way of life in America.

I have an idea about how this happened... about the root cause of this kind of corruption and why it was inevitable, given some of the basic facts regarding how we've organized our government and our corporations.

Let me show you the numbers – the hard facts – behind what's happened to our country...’

 

 

 

50 Economic Numbers From 2011 That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe  The Economic Collapse | If we do not educate the American people about how deathly ill the U.S. economy has become, then they will just keep falling for the same old lies. December 16, 2011 ‘Even though most Americans have become very frustrated with this economy, the reality is that the vast majority of them still have no idea just how bad our economic decline has been or how much trouble we are going to be in if we don’t make dramatic changes immediately.  If we do not educate the American people about how deathly ill the U.S. economy has become, then they will just keep falling for the same old lies that our politicians keep telling them.  Just “tweaking” things here and there is not going to fix this economy.  We truly do need a fundamental change in direction.  America is consuming far more wealth than it is producing and our debt is absolutely exploding.  If we stay on this current path, an economic collapse is inevitable.  Hopefully the crazy economic numbers from 2011 that I have included in this article will be shocking enough to wake some people up.

At this time of the year, a lot of families get together, and in most homes the conversation usually gets around to politics at some point.  Hopefully many of you will use the list below as a tool to help you share the reality of the U.S. economic crisis with your family and friends.  If we all work together, hopefully we can get millions of people to wake up and realize that “business as usual” will result in a national economic apocalypse.

The following are 50 economic numbers from 2011 that are almost too crazy to believe….

#1 A staggering 48 percent of all Americans are either considered to be “low income” or are living in poverty.

#2 Approximately 57 percent of all children in the United States are living in homes that are either considered to be “low income” or impoverished.

#3 If the number of Americans that “wanted jobs” was the same today as it was back in 2007, the “official” unemployment rate put out by the U.S. government would be up to 11 percent.

#4 The average amount of time that a worker stays unemployed in the United States is now over 40 weeks.

#5 One recent survey found that 77 percent of all U.S. small businesses do not plan to hire any more workers.

#6 There are fewer payroll jobs in the United States today than there were back in 2000 even though we have added 30 million extra people to the population since then.

#7 Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% once you account for inflation.

#8 According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 16.6 million Americans were self-employed back in December 2006.  Today, that number has shrunk to 14.5 million.

#9 A Gallup poll from earlier this year found that approximately one out of every five Americans that do have a job consider themselves to be underemployed.

#10 According to author Paul Osterman, about 20 percent of all U.S. adults are currently working jobs that pay poverty-level wages.

#11 Back in 1980, less than 30% of all jobs in the United States were low income jobs.  Today, more than 40% of all jobs in the United States are low income jobs.

#12 Back in 1969, 95 percent of all men between the ages of 25 and 54 had a job.  In July, only 81.2 percent of men in that age group had a job.

#13 One recent survey found that one out of every three Americans would not be able to make a mortgage or rent payment next month if they suddenly lost their current job.

#14 The Federal Reserve recently announced that the total net worth of U.S. households declined by 4.1 percent in the 3rd quarter of 2011 alone.

#15 According to a recent study conducted by the BlackRock Investment Institute, the ratio of household debt to personal income in the United States is now 154 percent.

#16 As the economy has slowed down, so has the number of marriages.  According to a Pew Research Center analysis, only 51 percent of all Americans that are at least 18 years old are currently married.  Back in 1960, 72 percentof all U.S. adults were married.

#17 The U.S. Postal Service has lost more than 5 billion dollars over the past year.

#18 In Stockton, California home prices have declined 64 percent from where they were at when the housing market peaked.

#19 Nevada has had the highest foreclosure rate in the nation for 59 monthsin a row.

#20 If you can believe it, the median price of a home in Detroit is now just $6000.

#21 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18 percent of all homes in the state of Florida are sitting vacant.  That figure is 63 percent larger than it was just ten years ago.

#22 New home construction in the United States is on pace to set a brand new all-time record low in 2011.

#23 As I have written about previously, 19 percent of all American men between the ages of 25 and 34 are now living with their parents.

#24 Electricity bills in the United States have risen faster than the overall rate of inflation for five years in a row.

#25 According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, health care costs accounted for just 9.5% of all personal consumption back in 1980.  Today they account for approximately 16.3%.

#26 One study found that approximately 41 percent of all working age Americans either have medical bill problems or are currently paying off medical debt.

#27 If you can believe it, one out of every seven Americans has at least 10 credit cards.

#28 The United States spends about 4 dollars on goods and services from China for every one dollar that China spends on goods and services from the United States.

#29 It is being projected that the U.S. trade deficit for 2011 will be 558.2 billion dollars.

#30 The retirement crisis in the United States just continues to get worse.  According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement.

#31 Today, one out of every six elderly Americans lives below the federal poverty line.

#32 According to a study that was just released, CEO pay at America’s biggest companies rose by 36.5% in just one recent 12 month period.

#33 Today, the “too big to fail” banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

#34 The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have a net worth that is roughly equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans combined.

#35 According to an analysis of Census Bureau data done by the Pew Research Center, the median net worth for households led by someone 65 years of age or older is 47 times greater than the median net worth for households led by someone under the age of 35.

#36 If you can believe it, 37 percent of all U.S. households that are led by someone under the age of 35 have a net worth of zero or less than zero.

#37 A higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty (6.7%) than has ever been measured before.

#38 Child homelessness in the United States is now 33 percent higher than it was back in 2007.

#39 Since 2007, the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

#40 Sadly, child poverty is absolutely exploding all over America.  According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 36.4% of all children that live in Philadelphia are living in poverty, 40.1% of all children that live in Atlanta are living in poverty, 52.6% of all children that live in Cleveland are living in poverty and 53.6% of all children that live in Detroit are living in poverty.

#41 Today, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps and one out of every four American children is on food stamps.

#42 In 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income.  Today, government transfer payments account for more than 18 percent of all income.

#43 A staggering 48.5% of all Americans live in a household that receives some form of government benefits.  Back in 1983, that number was below 30 percent.

#44 Right now, spending by the federal government accounts for about 24 percent of GDP.  Back in 2001, it accounted for just 18 percent.

#45 For fiscal year 2011, the U.S. federal government had a budget deficit ofnearly 1.3 trillion dollars.  That was the third year in a row that our budget deficit has topped one trillion dollars.

#46 If Bill Gates gave every single penny of his fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for about 15 days.

#47 Amazingly, the U.S. government has now accumulated a total debt of 15 trillion dollars.  When Barack Obama first took office the national debt was just 10.6 trillion dollars.

#48 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.

#49 The U.S. national debt has been increasing by an average of more than 4 billion dollars per day since the beginning of the Obama administration.

#50 During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

Of course the heart of our economic problems is the Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve is a perpetual debt machine, it has almost completely destroyed the value of the U.S. dollar and it has an absolutely nightmarish track record of incompetence.  If the Federal Reserve system had never been created, the U.S. economy would be in far better shape.  The federal government needs to shut down the Federal Reserve and start issuing currency that is not debt-based.  That would be a very significant step toward restoring prosperity to America.

During 2011 we made a lot of progress in educating the American people about our economic problems, but we still have a long way to go.

Hopefully next year more Americans than ever will wake up, because 2012 is going to represent a huge turning point for this country.’

The Tim Tebow Comeback Story Continues But There Will Be No Miracle Comebacks For The U.S. Economy | Never in the history of the NFL has there ever been anything like this. The Economic Collapse December 12, 2011 ‘Never in the history of the NFL has there ever been anything like this.  Today, Tim Tebow engineered yet another miraculous 4th quarter comeback.  Almost everyone has been expecting this unprecedented string of comebacks to come to an end, yet Tebow just keeps pulling off miracle after miracle.  It seems like nearly every week now we are talking about another unbelievable Tim Tebow comeback.  It is truly a great story, and what is wonderful about Tebow is that he is not out to glorify himself.  He is very humble, he always recognizes his teammates and he is a terrific role model for a generation of American youth that is in desperate need of one.  Unfortunately, there is not going to be a similar comeback story for the U.S. economy.  It is late in the 4th quarter, we have accumulated over 50 trillion dollars of total debt as a nation, and our economic guts are being ripped out at a rate that is almost impossible to believe.  The game is essentially over and we are headed for an incredible amount of economic pain as a nation.

We desperately need a “political Tim Tebow” to come along to dismantle our current debt-based economic system.  But instead, the corrupt politicians in Washington D.C. just keep patching up our current system and hope that somehow it will recover.

Unfortunately, this is about as good as things are going to get for the U.S. economy.  The federal government and the Federal Reserve are already pushing things to the “red line”, and all of that effort has not accomplished much.

We have been experiencing “economic stagnation” for much of the past year, and there is not much more that they can do to improve things under our current system.

Right now, the Federal Reserve has pushed interest rates as low as they can go.  They can’t go any lower.

Right now, the federal government is borrowing and spending unprecedented amounts of money.  Federal spending cannot go much higher.

Right now, we have already seen tax cut after tax cut and virtually none of them have been paid for.  Any additional tax cuts will just send our budget deficits even higher.

Right now, we have already seen unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve.  They have done just about everything short of dropping huge bags of money over the countryside from helicopters.

The federal government and the Federal Reserve have done just about everything that they can possibly do to “stimulate” the economy, and yet things just keep getting worse.

So what is going to happen when the federal government and the Federal Reserve quit stimulating the economy?

As I wrote about the other day, when evaluating the future of the U.S. economy, it is vitally important to look at the balance sheet numbers and the long-term trends.

When you do that, you suddenly do not feel so good about the upward “blips” that we have seen in the economy lately.

Yes, the “official” unemployment rate recently went down slightly.  But as Mac Slavo recently pointed out, even with the recent “improvement” the truth is that the “real” level of unemployment in the United States is still well over 20 percent.

And all of the long-term trends indicate that we heading for a massive amount of trouble.

The number of good jobs continues to decline.  Even though our population is rapidly increasing, there are 10 percent fewer middle income jobs in the U.S. today than there were a decade ago.

In recent years, the employment to population ratio has been steadily declining.  At the start of the recession it was at 62.7%.  Today, it is at 58.5%.

Household incomes continue to go down as well.  Since December 2007, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8%once you account for inflation.

So why is this happening?  Well, as I wrote about recently, the United States has the worst balance of trade in the entire world by far.

Wealth, jobs and economic infrastructure are pouring out of this country and very few politicians are trying to stop it.

An average of 23 manufacturing facilities were shut down every single day in the United States last year.

That represents a huge amount of lost jobs.

So do you hear any political candidates talking about how they are going to stop this from happening or about how they are going to get all of those lost jobs back?

Overall, the U.S. has lost a total of more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001.

So how can an economy be great when it is constantly bleeding huge amounts of economic infrastructure?

We have become way too dependent on other nations for the things that we need.

How much trouble would we be in if Saudi Arabia suddenly decided to quit shipping us oil or if China suddenly decided to quit shipping us cheap plastic products to sell in our stores?

Right now, businesses are absolutely racing to get out of the United States.  Big corporations are shipping as many jobs as they possibly can out of the country.  Our insane economic policies have turned American workers into tremendous liabilities.

One economist from Princeton University is warning that 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades if nothing is done to stop this.

So why aren’t more politicians screaming and yelling about this?

Without good jobs, Americans are falling out of the middle class in staggering numbers.

Since 2007, the number of children living in poverty in the state of California has increased by 30 percent.

So is that a sign that things are getting better or that things are getting worse?

A higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty than has ever been measured before.  Not only that, 2.6 million more Americans fell into poverty last year.  That was also a new all-time record.

So are those signs that things are getting better or that things are getting worse?

The American people generally do not understand why these things are happening, but they are clearly getting frustrated.

A recent Gallup poll found that an all-time record 76 percent of all Americans believe that most members of Congress do not deserve to be reelected.

But when election time rolls around, they will probably send most of them back to Washington D.C. anyway.

Our politicians keep kicking the can down the road, but time for doing that is running out.  The unprecedented “stimulus” efforts by the federal government will be coming to an end sooner or later.

In a recent article, author Bruce Krasting listed a whole bunch of reasons why the economic can is not going to be able to be kicked down the road much farther.  The following are some of the things that he says are scheduled to end by the beginning of 2013….

·        The Bush tax cuts on those making more than $200k will expire.

·        The Bush tax cuts on those making less than $200k will also expire.

·        The Patch on AMT will expire.

·        The 2% payroll tax holiday will expire for all workers on 12/31/12 (I’m sure the current holiday will be rolled for another year)

·        The 99-week extended unemployment benefits die on 12/31. (The emergency benefits will also be extended for 2012)

·        There will have to be a budget that is approved. Alternatively, a series of continuing resolutions is required to avert a government shutdown. We have not had an approved budget in over 900 days.

·        2013 is the first year that there will be mandatory caps on discretionary spending. These limits will result in a YoY decline in government spending.

·        The Federal Reserve has promised to keep interest rates at zero into 2013. While it is possible that the Fed could continue the madness for even longer, the reality is that interest rates have nowhere to go but up.

·        By January 2013 it will be painfully evident that the country’s key social programs, Social Security and Medicare will be running in the red at a pace that is far higher than anyone considered possible. The need for dramatic changes in these programs will have to come onto the table. The implications of this will be significant.

·        In 2013 the issues of Fannie, Freddie, FHA and the Federal Home Loan Banks must be addressed. The problems at the housing agencies has festered too long.

·        The country will face another debt ceiling extension. The last time cost us our AAA.

Sadly, we will probably not have to wait until 2013 to feel a whole lot of economic pain.

The reality is that a 15 trillion dollar debt and trillion dollar yearly budget deficits are not sustainable.  We have created a situation where a horrible crash is inevitable, and there is no way that our current debt-based system can be fixed to keep a nightmarish collapse from happening.

During the Obama administration, the U.S. government has accumulated more debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.  That is a recipe for national financial suicide.

Meanwhile, despite what you may have heard, the European debt crisis has not been fixed.

Not at all.

The truth is that none of the fundamental problems were fixed by this recent “agreement” as Ambrose Evans-Pritchard recently noted in one of his columns….

There is no shared debt issuance, no fiscal transfers, no move to an EU Treasury, no banking licence for the ESM rescue fund, and no change in the mandate of the European Central Bank.

In short, there is no breakthrough of any kind that will convince Asian investors that this monetary union has viable governance or even a future.

Germany has kept the focus exclusively on fiscal deficits even though everybody must understand by now that this crisis was not caused by fiscal deficits (except in the case of Greece). Spain and Ireland were in surplus, and Italy had a primary surplus.

For many more reasons why Europe is headed for big trouble, please read this article: “22 Reasons Why We Could See An Economic Collapse In Europe In 2012“.

When Europe goes down, it is going to have a devastating impact on the United States.

Meanwhile, the economies of China and Japan are also steamrolling toward recession.

There is simply way too much debt in the world, and a great day of reckoning is coming.

Combined, the industrialized nations of the world borrowed more than 10 trillion dollars this year, and that number is expected to soar even higher next year.

Jim Cramer of CNBC stated recently that the global economy is at “DEFCON 3, two stages from a financial collapse so huge it’s hard to get your mind around.”

Most Americans don’t understand this yet.  But hopefully we can get more of them educated while there is still time.

The global financial system is a big shell game.  It is a gigantic mountain of debt, leverage and risk.

You would have thought that we would have learned some key lessons from the financial crisis of 2008, but we didn’t.

Back in 2002, the top 10 U.S. banks controlled 55 percent of all U.S. banking assets.  Right now, the top 10 U.S. banks control 77 percent of all U.S. banking assets.

Today, the “too big to fail” banks are larger than ever.  The total assets of the six largest U.S. banks increased by 39 percent between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2011.

So instead of doing something about the “too big to fail” banks, they are now more “too big to fail” than ever.

As big banks and big corporations have come to dominate our economy more than ever before, wealth and power have also become much more concentrated….

*The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans now own more than a third of all the wealth in the United States.

*The poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States.

*The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have a net worth that is roughly equal to the bottom 30 percent of all Americans combined.

*Overall, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worththan the bottom 90 percent combined.

It would be wonderful if we could send a “Tim Tebow of politics” to Washington D.C., but instead the Democrats and the Republicans look like they just plan to give us more of the same.

Are the Republicans really going to nominate someone who co-sponsored 418 bills with Nancy Pelosi?  The truth is that the latest “anti-Romney candidate” isalmost a clone of Mitt Romney.

Newt Gingrich is essentially an older, ruder version of Barack Obama.  If you are counting on him to “save America” then you are going to be incredibly disappointed.

Sadly, we just do not have nearly enough men like Tim Tebow in America today.  The following comes from a recent profile of Tebow that recently appeared in the Wall Street Journal….

While at Florida, Mr. Tebow became well known for spending his summers helping the poor and needy in the Philippines. He also spoke in prisons and appeared to accept every opportunity to volunteer. He encouraged his teammates and classmates to follow his lead.

You can see video of Tim Tebow speaking to a group of prisoners at the Lake City Correctional Facility while he was still attending the University of Floridaright here.

Unfortunately, there is no “Tim Tebow comeback” on the horizon for the U.S. economy at this point.

But when the U.S. economy does get worse, we can take a cue from Tim Tebow and be very generous with those in need.  There are going to be a lot of people that will be really hurting, and those of us that have been blessed should do what we can to help them out.

A lot of people say that my site is all about “doom and gloom”, but telling the truth to the American people is never a bad thing.

We do not do ourselves any favors by sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that everything is going to be okay.

There is going to be no miracle comeback for the U.S. economy.

A horrific economic collapse is coming.

You better get ready.’

 

 

 

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN: GLOBAL ECONOMY ON THE BRINK http://www.safehaven.com/article/23606/the-road-not-taken  12/10/2011 By David Knox Barker: ‘The international political economy and global financial markets are deep in the woods. A long wave winter season is blowing cold, and getting colder. Decades of excess leverage in the banking system and sovereign states is coming to an end. Government and consumer spending are hitting a wall. A critical fork on this wintry road is coming up fast.

A transformational long wave crisis that spans the globe is under way. Tough decisions must be made to pull us out of the long wave winter crisis and into a new spring day on the other side. There are two different roads beckoning us out of this long wave wintry mess. Make no mistake; the choice leads to distinctly different destinations.

http://static.safehaven.com/authors/barker/23606_a.jpg

Oscar Wilde, in his essay The Decay of Lying, famously penned the words, "Life imitates art far more than art imitates life." Along this line of thinking, Robert Frost's famous poem, with only one word edited (wintry), is in order. It offers new meaning as the world grapples with the global financial, economic and political crisis. It speaks to the far-reaching implications of the important decisions required now for the uncertain road that lies ahead.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a (wintry) wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Investors and traders should recognize that global markets will discount the unknown future on the road ahead far more than most are expecting as this long wave winter bottoms in the years directly ahead, whatever road we take. Markets do not like the unknown and buyers of the future will require a hefty discount to the cash flows it offers, especially when perceived risks are rising fast and show no sign of abating.

After this final phase of the long wave winter that puts the future on sale, we can get on with building a global economy that is better than what we are leaving behind. The real question is what road we will take. One road leads to the serfdom and dependence on government promises, the other to individual freedom and unlimited potential. The road chosen will make a big difference in the world we live in during the coming long wave spring season and global boom that lies ahead.

The low road offers more of the same Keynesian hopes that created this crisis. It shows more wear. It offers greater intervention from government in hopes that the state, even in light of recent evidence to the contrary, has the answers. The low road grants greater powers to government and vastly higher levels of debt, fighting debt with debt. Along this road greater national and individual sovereignty and liberty is a required sacrifice offered to the deity of the state and its various temples of centralized control.

The high road offers the hope that the grand experiment of big government is actually ending world over. The dissemination of information on the Internet suggests the old media is losing its grip on public consciousness and its role of kingmaker. Centralized political power is doomed. Rather than centralizing power, there are signs the information age and technology is in the process of a quantum leap, transforming political power in the process and returning it to its rightful owner, the individual and their important role in society and community. The latent potential that can be unleashed on the high road is astounding, and it is the same world over.

Advocates of the high road recognize that radical pro-growth and pro-job corporate tax policies are urgently required. A low flat corporate tax rate of 15% or less in the U.S. will force the world to follow and trigger a global growth boom and new long wave spring. The fair-tax makes even more sense, but that is likely asking too much of politicians that appear to have trouble understanding that they were not elected to only enrich themselves. Have courage, this ilk is on the way out. Most politicians believe tax reform is granting tax breaks in the tax code for kickbacks in one form of another.

If government spending cuts are combined with pro-growth corporate tax policies, the next wave of Internet driven innovation will trigger a global boom in a new long wave spring season beyond 2012. Political leaders can pursue policies that accelerate these trends, or they can try to hold on to their rapidly failing grip on power.

Few are aware that the object-oriented paradigm and the object-oriented code it spawned has played an essential role in the Internet revolution. The objectivation of the planet is turning the Internet into an empowering force for individual freedom and liberty. The Internet is decentralizing access to information and is radically changing the world, including putting political power into a state of flux.

The low road is simply more of the same that got us here and delivered the global system to the edge of the abyss. There are those that are loudly advocating this well-worn Keynesian road funded by government debt, i.e., the same map that got us here. Many advocating the low road are hoping for yearend bonus checks for all the bad debt they would like governments to back stop and transfer onto the backs of taxpayers. This low road is where society's resources are distributed both up to an elite class that socialize their losses and down to an entitlement class. The motto of the low road is clear, in the words of Ayn Rand, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

The high road is seldom traveled these days. It is a road of individual responsibility and accountability for one's own decisions and actions, where thrift and prudence gain their just reward and are not punished by the greed of others that are too big to fail. This high road is where budgets are balanced and governments do not spend money they do not have and therefore must borrow, or steal from its rightful owners.

The two roads out of the global financial crisis are coming up as the world descends in the current business cycle. The call for the European Central Bank (ECB) to join with the U.S. Federal Reserve and promise unlimited quantitative easing (QE) has reached a fevered pitch. The ECB has been buying sovereign bonds on the margin, but the idea of the ECB ratcheting up the buying of any bonds issued by the profligate politicians is a low road choice by any standard. It is repulsive to those accustomed to living within their means and not interested in financing those that who do not.

The current global system is now struggling under its glaring contradictions. The long wave cycle points down and to a resetting of the global economic and financial order. The world has come to an important fork in the road in the current business cycle, the final business cycle of the long wave winter

The entitlement class is demanding the politicians serve up the wealthiest producers on a 1% prime mover platter, so they can, in their own words, "eat the rich". It will of course be their last meal, but this crowd does not think that far ahead. They have not considered that the next meal will be the wild-eyed comrade across the table, or it will be them and their family.

In short, the low road thinking suggests that it is possible to solve history's greatest debt crisis with more debt and deficit spending, keeping the entitlement class satisfied and growing. This may work marginally in this long wave cycle crisis and a somber spring will begin belatedly, but this low road will weaken international capitalism and likely trigger the collapse of capitalism in the next long wave winter season, delivering the global economy onto the cusp of a new dark age.

On the high road, governments will actually be required to stop spending money they do not have and balance their budgets. Investors that unfortunately make bad investments will have to take losses and not socialize them and pass them on to taxpayers. This appears to be a rather novel concept for many. The media and politicians jeer at it as old-fashioned nonsense. Those with the mistaken belief that the profits of capitalism will be able to pay the tab for the great entitlement banquet, are rejecting as "austerity" what is only common sense and the way our grandparents lived.

Advocates for the low road gained the upper hand in the 2008-2009 phase of the financial crisis. Many are now rightfully questioning this direction. Although we are now moving toward the low road, there remains time to change, to take the high road.

All eyes are now on Europe. There is hope that Europe could switch to the high road, and force the U.S. and Asia to follow. This week we learned that the new ECB president Mario Draghi is suggesting that the ECB does not intend to backstop governments that cannot balance their budgets, or failing banks that fund them. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is suggesting government must bring their budgets under control before they receive any help from the ECB. In short, Europe is considering taking the high road. If they do, they could force the U.S. and even the world to follow. Merkel and Draghi are pointing us toward the high road. Those clamoring for more QE to off load their bad debts on you, your children and your grandchildren, so they can get their Christmas bonuses, typically work the tollgates on the low road.

The statement out of the European Union meeting this week suggests there remain leaders that are advocating the high road; let us pray they can provide the leadership to make it happen. They are asking governments to cut spending and move toward balanced budgets before the ECB steps in and buys larger amounts of sovereign debt. Draghi appears to be the sort that will wait for tangible evidence and real cuts before backstopping anyone. Chairman Bernanke should take notes and shake off his fear of deflation.

Great pressure is being applied to the ECB to jettison their single mandate of price stability in Europe and join the U.S. Federal Reserve by becoming the buyer of last resort. This is clearly a low road option. If the ECB caves to this pressure, odds rise sharply that the low road is our destiny. If the infrastructure obsessed Bank of China (BOC) keeps the monetary pedal to the metal it will also indicate the low road may be the one the world travels, but they may just take their cue from the ECB. There is evidence that even some of the leaders of communist-capitalism can recognize the advantages of the high road.

On the low road, concerted global QE will cause the global crisis and long wave winter to drag on longer than it will on the high road. With global QE that buys bad debt, the business cycle lows in 2016 will be inflation-adjusted long wave lows as debt is monetized and inflation steals from real returns. Capital will be slow to commit to the new global long wave spring season and it will get off to a much slower start than possible on the high road. Government picks winners and losers on the low road. That plan has not worked out so far, e.g. Solyndra, etc.

The map for the high road is real deficit reduction in the U.S. and in Europe, not just smaller increases, and aggressive pro-growth corporate tax reform; not endless talk, but action. On the high road, the decline of the business cycle will sharper and swifter than most expect. Required writedowns of bad debt investments, necessary government spending cuts and debt deleveraging will not come without pain. On the high road the decline of the business cycle will most likely be a sharp V shaped deflationary recession/depression into late 2012, and possibly mid-2013.

The chart below demonstrates this possible scenario using Market Cycle Dynamics software running with Metastock. The global economy and international markets are a complex system. The low road will not stop the cycles; it will only lengthen the cycles and lead the world inexorably toward chaos and a greater collapse. The high road will restore order and a global boom. A new long wave spring season of global prosperity is what the high road offers.

http://static.safehaven.com/authors/barker/23606_b.png

On the high road, the global economy will make the turn and come roaring out of the V shaped deflation and debt liquidation and into a new long wave spring within 18 months. Hard work, risk taking and ability are what will pick the winners along the high road. The road we choose to travel will determine how and when this business cycle and long wave winter season ends. The road we take will make all the difference.’

 

 

 

 

The Worldwide Depression/Recession Of 2012   Jeff Harding Dec 09, 2011 ‘While we're seeing some positive numbers in the US, we're also seeing signs of weakness. And since we live in a world of international trade, the world's woes will hit us. (Read more: http://www.minyanville.com/businessmarkets/articles/eurozone-euro-eurozone-crisis-sovereign-debt/12/9/2011/id/38294#ixzz1g7Hfhu3K) ‘In case you haven’t noticed, the rest of the world continues to slow down and the negative data is accelerating. The big powerhouses of the world, the eurozone (including Germany), Japan, and China are leading this trend and there is no reason to believe that the U.S. will not follow.

I’ve been writing about this theme frequently lately because, while we are seeing some positive numbers here in the U.S., we are also seeing signs of weakness starting to show up, and since we live in a world of international trade, the world’s woes will hit us.

The first thing to note about this phenomenon is that the central banks of the world, including the Fed, have been doing all they can to support their economies with plentiful money. According to a recent Bloomberg article, “Central banks across five continents are undertaking the broadest reduction in borrowing costs since 2009 to avert a global economic slump stemming from Europe’s sovereign-debt turmoil.”

Monetary easing will push the average worldwide central bank interest rate, weighted for gross domestic product, to 1.79% by next June from 2.16% in September, the largest drop in two years, according to data and projections from JPMorgan, which tracks 31 central banks. The number of those banks loosening credit is the most since the third quarter of 2009, when 15 institutions cut rates, the data show.

The People’s Bank of China has raised its main interest rate three times this year to fight inflation. India’s central bank lifted rates on Oct. 25 by a quarter of a percentage point, while signaling it was nearing the end of its record cycle of increases as the economy cooled.

This is nothing new. Since the Crash of 2008, most central banks have been pumping fiat money into their economies.

The multiple EU sovereign insolvencies—you don’t need to default to be insolvent—are hitting eurozone credit hard, which is a trigger for deflation as money supply declines. Lenders are stuck with bad sovereign loans and there isn’t enough money to bail them all out, much less the PIIGS.

The thing to remember about the eurozone is that it’s not just sovereign insolvencies that is their problem. They became insolvent, yes because governments spent too much, but their economies are in the tank mainly for many of the same reasons the U.S. economy declined (money inflation boom, high debt/spending, housing market collapse triggering depression, high taxes and regulation, and various bailouts to prevent recovery). Until they fix the underlying causes, their banks will collapse and countries will default.

China’s economy relies on the West for its exports, and as a result:

  • Manufacturing production falls at fastest rate in three months; the lowest service sector growth since August;
  • Overall input costs fall for the first month since July 2010;
  • Service sector business optimism second-lowest in series history.

China’s frequent monetary stimulus, along with government real estate policies, keeps feeding their real estate boom-bust cycles.

Once you look at the data (below), you will see where we and the world are headed. 

While these economies are shrinking, demand for commodities, capital goods, and manufactured goods all decline. This is impacting commodity prices; they have been falling since this summer (mainly a supply-demand factor, not just a money deflation issue). Each country/zone will have a different reaction to all this. Most will continue to inflate (“print” money).

Money printing will have little impact on declining prices for the time being. Unless they panic. If they panic -- that is, massively pump money -- they will suffer from price inflation. China will have more booms and the eurozone will also stagnate as well. Japan will continue to go "Japanese," and depending on what the Fed does, it is likely we’ll go Japanese as well.

Here is what it looks like:

N.B. The word “depression” frightens a lot of people. It should. But, we are in one now. Our leaders just invented the word “recession” to take our minds off what’s really happening. Murray Rothbard in his book, America’s Great Depression noted that when the economy crashed again in 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt and his advisers didn’t want to use the “D” word so they came up with “recession.” Until that time there were no “recessions.” Now a “recession” is just a mini-depression. Since we, in my opinion, have not yet recovered from the Crash of 2008, we are in a depression. Just ask the 25 million Americans who either don’t have a job, can’t find one, stopped looking, or are working part-time because they can’t find full-time work. Just ask the 24% of home owners whose homes are financially underwater.

DATA SUMMARY SHOWS THE US ECONOMY IS IN JEOPARDY  [ Duh! Ya think? ]  Jeff Harding Nov 23, 2011 http://www.minyanville.com/buzz/buzzalert/data-summary-shows-the-us/11/23/2011/id/146675?camp=syndication&medium=portals&from=yahoo ‘An overview of all the factors at play leads to one inevitable conclusion.


The Crossroad
The economy is at one of those crossroads where something is going to happen. Whether that will be a positive or a negative is often difficult to tell because at any time one of those “black swans” could land in our midst and change everything. Plans are fluid and and forecasting can be quixotic. That said, I believe we are at a critical point, and the US economy is heading for a fall.

To understand what “tomorrow” might be, we need to look at today and try to tie those threads together. Here is my analysis step by step, and you can decide if you agree with my conclusions.

Today
I have been looking at a lot of data reports in terms of an overall view of the economy. I apologize for all of the charts and data, but they offer some insight into trends.

Price Indices
Both the Producer Price Index and the Consumer Price Index have shown modest price increases, but may be trending negative. 

Producer Price Index: 

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards1.png
 
http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards2.png

On a 12-month basis, finished goods have gone up 5.9%, intermediate goods up 8.3%, and crude goods up 12.6%. However, the recent trend is down, as the above chart shows.

Consumer Price Index:

Consumer prices declined 0.1%, and core (less energy and food) went up 0.1%. On a year-over-year basis, prices have increased 3.5%, but that is down from 3.9% the prior month, mainly due to energy costs.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards3.png


Industrial Production

Industrial production as measured by shipments showed a 0.7% gain in October, and the 12-month index was up 3.9%.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards4.png  

Manufacturing

The important factory sector output was up 0.5% in October and up 4.1% for the 12 months. The only negative here, and it is a significant one, is that new orders are flat, but may not be declining:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards5.png

The more telling ISM Manufacturing Index shows some weakness:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards6.png


The capital goods sector has been showing strong growth:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards7.png

Business Sales

Business sales and inventories are also steady:

Businesses are carefully managing their inventories, keeping them lean as sales move incrementally forward. Business inventories are unchanged in the September report with sales up 0.6 percent [11.06% YoY], a combination that keeps the inventory-to-sales ratio at 1.27. This ratio has been pretty steady for the last two years after spiking as high as 1.49 during the recession when sales of course plunged.


But note that these numbers are nominal, not adjusted for inflation. 

Retail Sales

Retail sales and food services were up 0.5% for October, and 7.2% year over year. Again, these numbers are not adjusted for inflation. They are steady but have been flat (±) since August 2010.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards8.png


Wages and Earnings

Real wages continue to be weak. While real wages increased 0.3% in October, that was after a CPI adjustment ((earnings +0.2)+(CPI -0.1%)). On a year-over-year basis, real earnings are down 1.6%. “An unchanged average workweek combined with the decline in real average hourly earnings resulted in a 1.7 percent decrease in real average weekly earnings during the same period,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bank Credit

Bank credit conditions are still sluggish.

Consumer credit

Consumer credit increased at an annual rate of 1.5% in the third quarter. Revolving credit decreased at an annual rate of 3.25%, while nonrevolving credit increased 3.75%. In September consumer credit increased at an annual rate of 3.5%. Revolving credit is credit card debt; nonrevolving debt is mostly auto loans and student loans. Generally, consumer credit has been rather flat except for auto loans, which have been up and down, but mostly up:
 
http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards9.png


Business credit

What has changed is that commercial and industrial loans have grown, especially at small domestic banks. Look at the Fed’s H.8 commercial bank commercial and industrial (C&I) loans in 2011 (note: I modified this chart to fit):


http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards10.png


(Note that “Other consumer loans” are mostly auto loans. This consumer credit data is slightly different than the Fed’s G.19 data on consumer credit, above.)

What we see is that C&I loans took off starting in the first quarter of 2011. While the data for large domestic banks shows steady C&I loan growth since the fourth quarter of 2009, small domestic bank C&I lending shot up in the first quarter of 2011, from zero base to $20 billion:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards11.png


Even more surprising is that average loan size for small banks increased from about $100,000 to almost $650,000. One might conclude from this that the credit freeze is over and small banks are lending and small to medium business enterprises (SMEs) are borrowing, thus indicating a recovery.

What is happening?

The main reason for this sudden increase in loan activity is competition. Ever since Dodd-Frank, banks have been scrambling to figure out how to make more money, as many credit card and other account fees were prohibited in an attempt to protect consumers. One way to offset that loss is to gain more business customers, and there has been a scramble by both large and small banks for SME customers.

Small banks have the most to gain or lose in this competition because SMEs are their territory. So they are pursuing customers. Many also believe that there is a window of opportunity with favorable spreads and thus the timing is critical to expand business before that window closes. The initial beneficiaries seem to be the banks in the $5 billion to $10 billion asset range, which are classified as small banks. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, an investment bank specializing in services to the banking sector said:


[Damon DelMonte, an analyst with KBW Inc.'s Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc.] said banks reporting loan growth are taking a bigger slice of the pie, but the pie isn’t getting much bigger. “We’re not of the belief that the demand for new loans is really ramping up,” he said. “It seems like it’s more of a shifting of market share. Smaller banks are going to benefit at the expense of larger banks.“


This was also confirmed by the Fed’s October 2011 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices, where they reported increased competition, but that loan demand was weak:

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards12.png


I will explain the significance of this data further on.

International Trade

On the international scene, imports were actually down slightly, which was seen as a positive by most analysts (I see it as a negative):

The US trade deficit unexpectedly improved in September, but a significant part of it appears to have been related to flight to safety to gold during September’s weak financial markets. The September trade gap shrank to $43.1 billion from $44.9 billion in August. The latest shortfall was narrower than analysts’ expectations for a $46.3 billion deficit. Exports gained 1.4 percent after edging up 0.1 percent in August. Imports rose 0.3 percent in September, following a 0.2 percent decline the prior month.


Exports have been a substantial driver of the economy ($2.117 trillion):

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/images/LisaCatchNOV2011/Hards13.png


International Capital Flows

 The Treasury International Capital Report shows us that money continues to flow into the US seeking refuge mainly in Treasuries:

Volatility in international financial markets made for a second straight month of increasing inflow into long-term US securities, at $68.6 billion in September following August’s revised $58.0 billion. These follow inflows of only $9.1 billion and $4.1 billion in the two prior months. US investors, repatriating their funds, were small net sellers of foreign securities in September. But increasing demand for US securities is narrowly based into Treasuries in contrast to outflows for corporate bonds and especially US equities which is no surprise given the general move into safety and away from risk. Net outflows from equities were a very steep $19.2 billion in September following August’s $6.5 billion outflow.


Summary

Here is a summary of the above data:

#1. Industrial production (manufacturing and services) is continuing a flat to declining trend that has been going on since the second quarter of 2010. Manufacturing has shown recent growth, but it mirrors the negative to flat trend. Capital goods orders have improved, reflecting technological upgrades (which is also mirrored in software sales).

#2. Prices are starting to decline both at the producer and consumer level. Oil prices are likely to decline as worldwide economic activity slows. But, as we know, political shocks from producers can alter this forecast dramatically.

#3. Retail sales, adjusted for price inflation, continue to be flat to declining.

#4. Credit conditions are still tight at the consumer level, and business credit still suffers from lack of demand.

#5. Exports have been a primary driver of the economy and have rebounded substantially post-crash as a result of a devalued dollar.

#6. European economic problems have caused a significant influx of money into the US, and that has been parked in Treasuries.


Here is a summary of other data I feel is important and that I have recently discussed:

#1. Unemployment is high. At 9% there are 13.9 million unemployed, while the broader measure of unemployed (U-6) is 25 million. While unemployment has been dropping at a snail’s pace, jobs are not being created at a sufficient rate to substantially reduce unemployment. New jobless claims have been hovering around the 400,000 per week for the entire year.

#2. Real disposable income is falling.

#3. Personal savings have fallen from a post-crash high of 5.8% in June 2010 to 3.6% as of September 2011 because consumers are using savings to fund consumption.

#4. GDP is static rather than growing, and the latest third-quarter boost will likely not continue. It is likely that the third-quarter report will be revised downward.

#5. Auto sales are related to pent-up demand and are not likely to be sustained.

#6. The top 5% of earners account for 37% of all consumer spending, and it is they who are supporting consumer spending. I call this a “bifurcated economy.” There is no broad-based consumer spending rally.

#7. Household debt ($13.9 trillion) is still historically very high and has not been substantially reduced.

#8. U.S. sovereign debt is 100% of GDP ($15 trillion and growing).

#9. All government spending (federal, state, and local) constitutes 45.6% of GDP.

#10. The euro crisis will have a substantial impact on the rest of the world, including the US. That is difficult to predict, but we’ll know very soon. According to recent data, the world is heading into recession in almost all economies.

#11. The federal government is currently running a $1.3 trillion annual deficit

#12. Unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drug (Part D) are $116.4 trillion and growing. This does not include the pending problem with student loans (Sallie Mae) or obligations to government-sponsored enterprises.

#13. The MF Global (MFGLQ.PK) problem is indicative of a declining economy. It is likely that in a growing economy, MF Global would have been able to ride out its crisis. In a declining economy, company weaknesses tend to be revealed, as with Lehman. That creates market uncertainty.

#14. Oil prices have risen from $40 a barrel post-crash to $110 a barrel in April 2011, and presently are at $97 a barrel. Such oil price increases are associated with and often presage recessions.

#15. Bank balance sheets are still weak because they do not book asset values at market, they seem to not properly book troubled loans, and they are encumbered by a substantial amount of malinvested assets that have not been liquidated.

#16. 47 million Americans (15%) are on food stamps; 48.5% of the population lived in a household that received some type of government aid in the first quarter of 2010.

#17. Americans are pessimistic about their future and the future of America, according to almost all recent polls.

#18. An angry and disaffected population in America is potentially politically dangerous. 


What is important when looking at the data is to spot trends rather than specific numbers. I have what I believe is a healthy skepticism about the reports from the multitude of federal agencies that I follow on a regular basis. They are often revised and probably understate the negatives. That is especially so with price inflation. Many of the reports are in nominal numbers rather than adjusted for official price inflation. If they are adjusted for inflation (chained), their baseline is a recent year. Many analysts put great emphasis on specific numbers, but quantifiable data is ephemeral and probably “gamed.” Look at the trend.

Reminder: This is part one of a two-part series. The second half will be published on Minyanville on Friday, November 25.’

‘For decades we were warned that when the Baby Boomers started to retire that this country would be facing a retirement crisis of unprecedented magnitude.  Well, that day has arrived ladies and gentlemen.  Back on January 1st, the Baby Boomers began to retire and more than 10,000 of them will be retiring every single day for years to come.  Most of them have not saved up nearly enough money for retirement.  At the same time, private sector pension plans are failing all over the place, hundreds of state and local government pension plans from coast to coast are woefully underfunded, and the Social Security system is on the road to complete and total disaster.  A massive wave of humanity is hitting retirement age at a moment in history when the U.S. economy is coming apart at the seams.  We do not have the resources to keep the promises that we made to the Baby Boomers, and most of them have not made adequate preparations for retirement.  What we have is a gigantic mess on our hands, and millions of Baby Boomers are going to find retirement to be very bitter and very painful.

A lot of younger Americans just assume that Social Security is enough to take care of the needs of elderly Americans.  But that is just not the case.

Have you ever tried to live solely on a Social Security check?

It is not easy.  The truth is that those checks are just not that large.

The following comes directly from the Social Security Administration….

The average monthly Social Security benefit for a retired worker was about $1,177 at the beginning of 2011.

Could you live on less than 300 dollars a week?

And keep in mind that the $1,177 monthly figure is just an average.  Many receive a lot less than that.

In addition, Social Security benefits have been seriously squeezed by inflation in recent years.  The cost of food and other basics has risen briskly and Social Security benefits have not.

Today, many elderly Americans have to make a choice between buying food, heating their homes or buying medicine that they need.  They simply do not have enough money to do all of them.

It would have been nice if all of the Baby Boomers had been busy saving money for retirement all these years, but that just did not happen.  In fact, the Baby Boomers as a group are trillions of dollars short of what they need for retirement.

So why doesn’t the U.S. government step in to help them out?

Well, the reality of the situation is that the U.S. government is flat broke.  The federal government is now over 15 trillion dollars in debt.  During the Obama administration so far, the U.S. government has accumulated more new debt than it did from the time that George Washington took office to the time that Bill Clinton took office.

Lawmakers are already looking at ways to make the Social Security program less costly.  No, the federal government is not going to be riding to the rescue.

In fact, it will be a minor miracle if the Social Security program is able to survive until the end of this decade, and it will be a major miracle if the Social Security program is able to survive until 2030.

As for myself, I do not believe that I will ever see a single penny from Social Security, and many other working age Americans feel the same way.

Retirement is supposed to be a fun time, but sadly most Americans that are approaching retirement age are not going to have any “golden years” to look forward to.

Rather, millions of elderly Americans are going to find the years ahead absolutely agonizing as they struggle just to survive.

The following are 25 bitter and painful facts about the coming Baby Boomer retirement crisis that will blow your mind….

#1 According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement.

#2 According to a recent poll conducted by Americans for Secure Retirement,88 percent of all Americans are worried about “maintaining a comfortable standard of living in retirement”.  Last year, that figure was at 73 percent.

#3 A study conducted by Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research has found that American workers are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to retire comfortably.

#4 Today, one out of every six elderly Americans lives below the federal poverty line.

#5 On January 1st, 2011 the very first Baby Boomers started to retire.  For almost the next 20 years, more than 10,000 Baby Boomers will be retiring every single day.

#6 At the moment, only about 13 percent of all Americans are 65 years of age or older.  By 2030, that number will soar to 18 percent.

#7 Right now, there are somewhere around 40 million senior citizens.  By 2050 that number is projected to increase to 89 million.

#8 Back in 1991, half of all American workers planned to retire before they reached the age of 65.  Today, that number has declined to 23 percent.

#9 According to one recent survey, 74 percent of American workers expect to continue working once they are “retired”.

#10 According to a recent AARP survey of Baby Boomers, 40 percent of themplan to work “until they drop”.

#11 A poll conducted by CESI Debt Solutions found that 56 percent of American retirees still had outstanding debts when they retired.

#12 A study by a law professor at the University of Michigan found that Americans that are 55 years of age or older now account for 20 percent of all bankruptcies in the United States.  Back in 2001, they only accounted for 12 percent of all bankruptcies.

#13 Between 1991 and 2007 the number of Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 that filed for bankruptcy rose by a staggering 178 percent.

#14 What is causing most of these bankruptcies among the elderly?  The number one cause is medical bills.  According to a report published in The American Journal of Medicine, medical bills are a major factor in more than 60 percent of the personal bankruptcies in the United States.  Of those bankruptcies that were caused by medical bills, approximately 75 percent of them involved individuals that actually did have health insurance.

#15 Public retirement funds all over the United States are woefully underfunded.  For example, it has been reported that the $33.7 billion Illinois Teachers Retirement System is 61% underfunded and is on the verge of complete collapse.

#16 Most U.S. states have huge pension obligations which threaten to bankrupt them.  For example, pension consultant Girard Miller told California’s Little Hoover Commission that state and local government bodies in the state of California have $325 billion in combined unfunded pension liabilities.  When you break that down, it comes to $22,000 for every single working adult in the state of California.

#17 Robert Novy-Marx of the University of Chicago and Joshua D. Rauh of Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management have calculated the combined pension liability for all 50 U.S. states.  What they found was that the 50 states are collectively facing $5.17 trillion in pension obligations, but they only have $1.94 trillion set aside in state pension funds.  That is a difference of 3.2 trillion dollars.  So where in the world is all of that extra money going to come from?

#18 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Social Security systempaid out more in benefits than it received in payroll taxes in 2010.  That was not supposed to happen until at least 2016.  Sadly, in the years ahead these “Social Security deficits” are scheduled to become absolutely nightmarish as hordes of Baby Boomers retire.

#19 In 1950, each retiree’s Social Security benefit was paid for by 16U.S. workers.  According to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are now only 1.75 full-time private sector workers for each person that is receiving Social Security benefits in the United States.

#20 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run outfive years faster than they were projecting just last year.

#21 The total cost of just three federal government programs – the Department of Defense, Social Security and Medicare – exceeded the total amount of taxes brought in during fiscal 2010 by 10 billion dollars.  In the years ahead expenses related to Social Security and Medicare are projected to skyrocket dramatically.

#22 The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is the agency of the federal government that pays monthly retirement benefits to hundreds of thousands of retirees that were covered under defined benefit pension plans that failed.  The retirement crisis has barely even begun and the PBGC is already dead broke.  The PBGC says that it ran a deficit of $26 billion during the fiscal year that just ended and that it will probably need a huge bailout from the federal government.

#23 According to a survey by careerbuilder.com, 36 percent of all Americans say that they don’t contribute anything at all to retirement savings.

#24 More than 30 percent of all investors in the United States that are currently in their sixties have more than 80 percent of their 401k plans invested in equities.  So what is going to happen to them if the stock market crashes?

#25 A survey taken earlier this year found that 20 percent of all U.S. workers admitted that they had postponed their planned retirement age at least once during the last 12 months.  Back in 2008, that number was only at 14 percent.

Our politicians should have addressed the retirement crisis decades ago before we got to the point of being in debt up to our eyeballs.

It is being projected that the U.S. national debt will hit 344% of GDP by the year 2050, and the Congressional Budget Office says that U.S. government debt held by the public will reach a staggering 716% of GDP by the year 2080.

Obviously those figures will never be reached because our financial system would totally collapse long before then.

So what do we do?

We have tens of millions of elderly Americans that are completely and totally dependent on Social Security and Medicare, but those programs also threaten to bankrupt us as a nation.

Anyone that believes that there is a “quick fix” to these issues is being naive.

The “supercommittee” was supposed to address this problem, but they failed so spectacularly that they have become a national joke.

Sadly, most of our politicians just keep kicking the can down the road.  They hope that somehow things will just magically “work out”.

Well, the truth is that things are not going to “work out”.  The poverty level among the elderly is going to continue to increase.  Pension plans all over this nation are going to continue to fail in staggering numbers.  Social Security and Medicare are going to bleed more red ink with each passing year.

Something should have been done about this problem a long, long time ago.

But it wasn’t.

This crisis was ignored, dealing with it was put off time after time and all the doomsayers were laughed at.

Now the crisis is here, and we are all going to pay the price.’

One Interesting Thing About the Leading Indicators Report  The Wall Street Journal (Fri, Nov 18) { How about the most interesting thing about ‘leading economic indicators’ from mooshy mish shedlock is the weighting accorded M2 and stock prices [who seems to have forgotten his own ‘unequivocal declaration’ ( Global Recession: Right Here, Right Now at Minyanville  Mike Shedlock Sep 02, 2011 )  which by the way was correct –almost, actually a depression- and now equivocates saying ‘I would agree that a slip back into recession in the 4th quarter is unlikely, assuming of course it is even possible. Bear in mind, we have not had an official end of this recession declared yet.’ I believe mish mosh shedlock is a lightweight (link to ‘huffington post’? What’s up with that?) but he does include the following excerpt from Chris Puplava which is important, infra (Burt Domen and David Rosenberg are the ‘real deal’ - 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 .. “the new recession has started.”… Over the past 33 years, we have called the start of every recession..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..is now more than 11%. Using that to adjust GDP for inflation, would show that the economy is now in a very sharp contraction…’, David Rosenberg: “It’s Time To Start Calling This For What It Is: A Modern Day Depression” Zero Hedge ,  David Rosenberg On The Depression, The ECB, MF Global As A Canary In The Coalmine... All With A Surprise Ending,  This is No Cyclical Recession… It is a Secular DE-pression

 

 

‘Chris Puplava took a good hard look at the LEI in Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me.

One of the things that many market commentators and research houses have pointed at to support their bullish outlook on the stock market are the leading economic indicators. I have had the sneaky suspicion that the aggressive and unprecedented actions on the part of the Fed have played a significant role in the LEI given a misleading signal as to an economic turnaround it is forecasting, while the economic components would likely paint a different picture. It is important to understand the makeup of the Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) and the weights that each component makes up of the LEI. Below is the breakdown of the ten indicators that make up the LEI and their respective weights in the index. As seen below, the three financial indicators make up approximately 50% of the LEI while the seven economic components make up the other 50%, with the M2 money supply alone making up 35.8% of the total LEI. Money makes the world go round, I guess, according to the LEI.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nSTO-vZpSgc/Ss2QhpYTrCI/AAAAAAAAHBw/aXOmraxEhEc/s400/LEI+components.png

Shown below are the YOY rate of change growth rates in the Conference Board’s LEI and my indexes of the economic and monetary components separated out. What is a clear take away is that the monetary LEI is doing the heavy lifting as the economic LEI remains in negative territory.

What you can also see is that beginning in the 1980s the growth rate between the monetary and economic LEI began to show a greater disparity in their growth rates than they did in the 1970s. What this would tend to imply is that a greater level of monetary stimulus measures were needed to translate into improved economic growth rates. This aligns with the second chart below that shows the dollar increase in debt per dollar increase in GDP, which shows higher amounts of debt were needed to produce a dollar of GDP, and we are fast approaching the “Zero Hour” in which rising debt does not translate into increased economic growth, or the “pay the piper” moment for our economy.

Zero Hour - Debt Fails To Add To GDP

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nSTO-vZpSgc/Ss2SVk6uicI/AAAAAAAAHCA/b69hK64Ycto/s400/Zero+Hour.png

Further illustrating the notion that it is taking record stimulus just to keep growth going is the YOY growth rate difference between the Monetary LEI and the Economic LEI, with the disparity between the two growth rates at the highest level in the last half century.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nSTO-vZpSgc/Ss2S_Aqy0rI/AAAAAAAAHCI/KZv4Rc8hAR0/s400/LEI-YY-%25change2.png

The above charts simply illustrate that our economy is fundamentally weak and instead of allowing our economy to sober up after its debt binge, our monetary and governmental authorities are trying to keep the economy drunk and chugging along, using greater amounts of monetary alcohol than ever before…’

 

 

 

Something Big Is Coming... and It's Going to Be BAD Phoenix Capital... 11/18/2011 ‘We have been getting MAJOR warning signs of a collapse for months now. No less than the Bank of England, the IMF, and legendary asset management firm Franklin Templeton have warned that we are... Something major is occuring in the markets today.The US economy peaked in 2007. However, throughout much of 2008, the stock market continued to rally despite the economic collapse as well as the financial system imploding.Throughout this period the credit markets jammed up and implied something VERY BAD was in the system. However, stock investors continued to pile into stocks because, well, frankly stocks always are the last to "get it."And when stocks finally did get it... it was quite a thing.This same environment is occurring today. Only this time the collapse is sovereign in nature: entire countries are going bust.We have been getting MAJOR warning signs of a collapse for months now. No less than the Bank of England, the IMF, and legendary asset management firm Franklin Templeton have warned that we are facing an epic, hellish crisis.We got the first taste of this in August when the S&P 500 literally wiped out a year's worth of gains in two weeks The only thing that brought us back from the brink at that time was the belief that the EU mess might be solvable and a coordinated intervention from the world Central Banks.We then had a spirited rally as the Fed and central banks went "all in" to force the stock market above its 200-DMA.This final "hurrah" has failed and the financial system is literally imploding. The EU will be broken up in the next month or so and it is highly likely Germany will back out of the Euro altogether.Moreover, the world central banks are now totally out of ammunition. They've spent Trillions of Dollars in bailouts, abandoned accounting standards, and even moved TRILLIONs in garbage debt onto the public's balance sheet.None of this has worked. The credit markets are jammed up just like in 2008. Italy, the third largest bond market in the world, is on the verge of default. No one wants to fund the EFSF. China is entering a hard landing and economic collapse. The US is in a clear depression.And on and on.This is the single most dangerous market environment of our lifetimes.  We are entering a period of massive wealth destruction. We will see bank holidays and civil unrest. We will see sovereign defaults. We will see temporary shortages in various goods and services.So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We're literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe's banks imploding…’

The next financial crisis will be hellish, and it’s on its way Nov 17th, 2011 (Forbes) —‘ “There is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner,” says hedge fund legend Mark Mobius, “because we haven’t solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis.”We’re raising our alert status for the next financial crisis. We already raised it last week after spreads on U.S. credit default swaps started blowing out. We raised it again after seeing the remarks of Mr. Mobius, chief of the $50 billion emerging markets desk at Templeton Asset Management…”Prior to the bursting of the credit bubble, the public was shocked to learn that our biggest investment banks were levered 30-to-1. When asset values fell, those banks were quickly wiped out. But now the Fed is holding many of the same types of assets and is levered 51-to-1! If the value of their portfolio were to fall by just 2%, the Fed itself would be wiped out.”[source]’



The next financial crisis will be hellish, and it’s on its way  http://news.yahoo.com/next-financial-crisis-hellish-way-204303737.html   Addison Wiggin | Forbes – Wed, Nov 16, 2011’  "There is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner," says hedge fund legend Mark Mobius, "because we haven't solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis."

We're raising our alert status for the next financial crisis. We already raised it last week after spreads on U.S. credit default swaps started blowing out.  We raised it again after seeing the remarks of Mr. Mobius, chief of the $50 billion emerging markets desk at Templeton Asset Management.

Speaking in Tokyo, he pointed to derivatives, the financial hairball of futures, options, and swaps in which nearly all the world's major banks are tangled up.

Estimates on the amount of derivatives out there worldwide vary. An oft-heard estimate is $600 trillion. That squares with Mobius' guess of 10 times the world's annual GDP. "Are the derivatives regulated?" asks Mobius. "No. Are you still getting growth in derivatives? Yes."

In other words, something along the lines of securitized mortgages is lurking out there, ready to trigger another crisis as in 2007-08.

What could it be? We'll offer up a good guess, one the market is discounting.

Seldom does a stock index rise so much, for so little reason, as the Dow did on the open Tuesday morning: 115 Dow points on a rumor that Greece is going to get a second bailout.

Let's step back for a moment: The Greek crisis is first and foremost about the German and French banks that were foolish enough to lend money to Greece in the first place. What sort of derivative contracts tied to Greek debt are they sitting on? What worldwide mayhem would ensue if Greece didn't pay back 100 centimes on the euro?

That's a rhetorical question, since the balance sheets of European banks are even more opaque than American ones. Whatever the actual answer, it's scary enough that the European Central Bank has refused to entertain any talk about the holders of Greek sovereign debt taking a haircut, even in the form of Greece stretching out its payments.

That was the preferred solution among German leaders. But it seems the ECB is about to get its way. Greece will likely get another bailout — 30 billion euros on top of the 110 billion euro bailout it got a year ago.

It will accomplish nothing. Going deeper into hock is never a good way to get out of debt. And at some point, this exercise in kicking the can has to stop. When it does, you get your next financial crisis.

And what of the derivatives sitting on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve? Here's another factor behind our heightened state of alert.

"Through quantitative easing efforts alone," says Euro Pacific Capital's Michael Pento, "Ben Bernanke has added $1.8 trillion of longer-term GSE debt and mortgage-backed securities (MBS)."

Think about that for a moment. The Fed's entire balance sheet totaled around $800 billion before the 2008 crash, nearly all of it Treasuries. Now the Fed holds more than double that amount in mortgage derivatives alone, junk that the banks needed to clear off their own balance sheets.

"As the size of the Fed's balance sheet ballooned," continues Mr. Pento, "the dollar amount of capital held at the Fed has remained fairly constant. Today, the Fed has $52.5 billion of capital backing a $2.7 trillion balance sheet.

"Prior to the bursting of the credit bubble, the public was shocked to learn that our biggest investment banks were levered 30-to-1. When asset values fell, those banks were quickly wiped out. But now the Fed is holding many of the same types of assets and is levered 51-to-1! If the value of their portfolio were to fall by just 2%, the Fed itself would be wiped out."

Mr. Pento's and Mr. Mobius' views line up with our own, which we laid out during interviews on our trip to China this month.

Tighter Credit Suggests Stocks Should Fall  The Wall Street Journal ‘All in all, the US stock-market selloff of the past couple of days has not been nearly as bad as it could have been, given that credit-market stress indicators are pushing to levels not seen since the 2008-09 crisis.

It might only be a matter of time before stocks catch up, however.

The US market has been buoyed by a string of better-than-expected economic reports that have helped encourage the belief that the US is a relatively safe haven, insulated from the problems of Europe.

But these data are coincident, or lagging, data at best, warns Mike Darda of MKM Partners. Leading indicators are found in the credit markets and are pointing to tighter financial conditions — and lower stock prices — in the future:

Pressures on sovereign debt markets in Europe have created concerns about collateral and capital in the European banking system, pushing funding spreads sharply wider (two-year euro interest rate swap spreads hit 114 bps today, a new 2011 high and not far from the October 2008 peak of 126 bps).

These pressures are also affecting the U.S. financial system and credit markets. Two-year interest rate swap spreads in the U.S. have hit new 2011 highs above 50 bps;  three-month FRA/OIS spreads (based on expectations of LIBOR settings)  hit 70 bps today. Three-month dollar LIBOR has set higher every day since late July.

Although U.S. credit markets are not nearly in the condition that European credit markets are, they are nonetheless deteriorating, which is one reason we should not take too much comfort in recent coincident data on sales and production that have yet to reflect the tighter financial conditions now in place.

U.S. short-term funding indicators suggest corporate-quality spreads could rise by more than 40%, a move that would likely spark at least a 10%-15% decline in the S&P 500 from current levels. FRA/OIS spreads tend to lead corporate spreads by about one month. They also have led the S&P 500 equity index by about that interval over most of the last two years. At current levels (near 70 bps), the FRA/OIS spreads suggest corporate spreads will widen by  40-50%. This would be tantamount to Baa/Aaa spreads rising to 190 bps from 127 bps, which would mark new highs for the year.

A similar surge in high yield spreads from here would place them at  669 bps, also new highs for the year. The S&P 500 equity index, which tends to move inversely to the level of credit spreads, would most likely decline by at least 10%-15%  if this scenario unfolds,  which would place the S&P 500 back below 1100.

As for the recent patch of stronger-than-expected economic data, let’s not forget that real GDP expanded by 3.6% in Q207 and then by 3% in Q307, right as the business cycle peaked. Credit markets and financial conditions  lead the business cycle; coincident data tell us where we are or have been. At turning points, coincident data—which tend to be extrapolated forward by Wall Street forecasters—can be misleading. And costly.’

Train Reading: Tiger Woods Vs. Bill Miller The Wall Street Journal

What do Tiger Woods and Bill Miller have in common? — Abnormal Returns { So absolutely preposterous is the notion (as per this article) of comparison of golf / golfers, to stock trading / traders, I felt compelled to comment here for the record. I’ve always viewed golf / golfers in a favorable light. Indeed, as kids we literally ‘did everything’ at the affluent ‘Arcola Country Club’ [which bordered the ‘Rainbows End’ riding stables (horses) for hire to the public]. From hunting, to fishing, to sleigh-riding, to ice-skating / hockey, to campfires on the ice at night, to of course, golfing ‘the back-nine’ with golf balls amply supplied from ‘the rough’, we were ‘tacitly approved’ interlopers whose occasional interaction with the extremely civilized affluent members was always amicably cordial and a pleasure. While I always liked golf and admire the skill involved, I hardly considered it a ‘sport’ per se (and for me and my body type, insufficient exercise for the amount of time spent). Rather, I thought of golf as a gentleman’s indulgent diversion, and the golf course itself a place of peaceable beauty. Those are good things. On the other hand, traders and wall street particularly are so sordid and despicable so as to make any such comparisons a stretch at best and sheer nonsense at worse. There are very few successful traders over time as probabilities eventually catch up. Moreover, ‘inside help’ / connections eventually (except for the biggest frauds – ie., the big [ still unprosecuted ] boys, ie., goldmans, et als) dry up, fade away like old (mafia foot) soldiers. Additionally, the high volume computerization / programmed / manipulated High Frequency Trading have left most not connected to said churn-and-earn scam / fraud in the dust. No … do not insult golfers by comparing them with traders; and, do not disparage golf by speciously comparing it to trading or any other sordid activity connected to fraudulent wall street; they are as dissimilar as ‘day and night’. }

12 Reasons To Be Extremely Pessimistic About The Direction That The Economy Is Headed    The American Dream
November 2, 2011 ‘Do you want to feel optimistic about the U.S. economy?  If so, you might not want to read the rest of this article.  In many areas of the United States today, you can almost smell the fear and the anxiety in the air.  Survey after survey has found that the American people are extremely pessimistic about the direction the economy is headed.  In fact, many recent surveys have found that economic pessimism is at the highest levels ever recorded.  There has been an astonishing loss of faith in the system.  In general, people are extremely dissatisfied with how things are going right now, and they do not believe that things will get better any time soon.  When the majority of the population starts losing hope like that, it creates a very unstable economic environment.  Once people are gripped by desperation, they start behaving much differently.  Desperate people do desperate things, and we are already starting to see this in many parts of the country.

It would be great if there was some reason to be optimistic about things, but our leaders continue to pursue the same failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place.

The statistics that you are about to read should alarm you.  The American people have gotten it into their heads that things are bad and that they are going to get even worse.

Unfortunately, the American people are correct about that.

The following are 12 reasons to be extremely pessimistic about the direction that the economy is headed right now….

#1 A big chunk of the American people are flat broke.  According to one recent survey, one-third of all Americans say that they have absolutely no spare cash.

#2 The budgets of American families are being stretched incredibly thin and the savings rate is going down again.  In fact, the savings rate in September was the lowest that it has been since December 2007.

#3 Back in 2001, Gallup began asking Americans about how they feel about the state of their own personal finances.  In October, Gallup once again asked this question, and 22 percent of the respondents rated their personal financial situations as “poor”.  That is the highest number that Gallup has ever seen.  In addition, the gap between the number of Americans that said that their finances were “getting worse” and the number of Americans that said their finances were “getting better” was also the largest that Gallup has ever seen.

#4 Overall, Americans are very depressed about the state of the U.S. economy.  According to a recent Associated Press-GfK poll, 43 percent of all Americans believe that the economy is in “very poor” shape.

#5 Big corporations continue to lay off more American workers.  For example, Whirlpool has just announced that it will be slashing 5,000 more jobs in the United States and Europe.

#6 Americans seem to have an incredibly dim view of the job market.  One recent survey discovered the following….

This month, just 9% of Americans would rate the job market of their region of the nation as good while 67% would rate it as bad and one-quarter (24%) say it is neither good nor bad.

#7 If nearly all Americans believe that something bad is going to happen, does that make it more likely that it actually will happen?  A recent IBOPE Zogby Interactive Poll found that 95 percent of all Americans are “somewhat concerned” or “very concerned” that we are headed for a double-dip recession.

#8 The American people are also overwhelmingly pessimistic about the housing market.  In fact, the same IBOPE Zogby Interactive Poll referenced above found that 89 percent of all Americans are “somewhat concerned” or “very concerned” that there will be an increase in foreclosures over the next two years.

#9 Older Americans tend to be cranky in general, but the amount of pessimism that they are exhibiting about the economy right now is absolutely stunning.  The following comes from a recent article in the Huffington Post….

Older workers are gloomier about the economy now than they were last year.

Nearly two thirds of workers older than 50 first surveyed by AARP’s Public Policy Institute in 2010 said things had gotten worse by the time the senior lobbying powerhouse followed up in August. Fewer than one in 10 said their view of the economy had improved. The rest said things had stayed the same.

#10 The consensus among the American people seems to be that the economy will get even worse leading up to the election in 2012.  The following is what one recent telephone survey discovered….

By a 49%-35% margin, Americans say they expect the U.S. economy to worsen between now and the November 2012 presidential election.

#11 The U.S. national debt is an anchor around our necks that just gets heavier and heavier as time goes by.  The U.S. government is now about 15 trillion dollars in debt, and a recent Allstate-National Journal poll discovered that 79 percent of all Americans “believe the federal debt and deficit have a meaningful impact on their personal finances.”

#12 The financial crisis in Europe just seems to get worse by the day.  The United States is already teetering on the edge of an economic disaster, and if Europe experiences a big time financial crash it seems extremely unlikely that we would be able to avoid another major recession.

 

Things simply do not look very promising for the economy right now.

As I wrote about recently, there are a lot of signs that the American people are already extremely angry and frustrated by what is happening to the economy.

So what is going to happen if things get significantly worse?

Unfortunately, there simply are not any “quick fixes” which are going to put us back “on course”.  The consequences that we are experiencing now are the result of decades of bad decisions.  The American people kept sending incompetents, con men and charlatans back to Washington D.C. over and over and over and now we are going to pay the price.

The prosperity of the last 30 years was a false prosperity.  We squandered our national inheritance and we lived the “high life” by piling up mountains of debt unlike anything that the world has ever seen before.

In the end, there is always a very high price for “living for today” at the expense of the future.  Tomorrow always ends up arriving way too soon, and future generations will curse us for being so foolish.

The party was great while it lasted, but it is coming to an end.

A whole lot of economic trouble is on the horizon, and it is going to be very, very painful.’

 

 

 

 

Don't Be Fooled - Here's The Real Reason For This Week's Meltdown – ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, 11-1-11  A picture says more than a thousand words and a chart explains more than a thousand analysts' opinions (literally). Profitable investing depends on the credibility of your research sources. This article will contrast the one chart that's predicted every recent turn weeks in advance and conventional Wall Street wisdom.

Wall Street 'Wisdom'

Wall Street made us believe that last Thursday's 3% rally across the board - Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI), S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC), banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News), financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News), technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), you name it - was because of a comprehensive European (NYSEArca: VGK - News) debt deal that would solve all problems.

Here are some of the headlines that reflect Wall Street's 'wisdom:'

Forbes: 'Europe three-point debt salvation plan lets bulls free'

Breakout: 'Don't fight the rally: Stocks soar after Europe deal'

Reuters: 'Wall Street soars on hopes EU finally has a fix'

ETFTrends: 'S&P 500 ETFs rally over the 200-day average opens door for year-end rally' (more about the significance of the 200-day average in a moment)

Zachs: 'S&P 1,350 is not a stretch'

Even Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou was moved to confirm that: 'The debt is absolutely sustainable now. Greece can settle its accounts from the past now, once and for all.'

Today, news that Greece could default on its debt and drop out of the European currency hit the fan.

Trend Following Technicals Turn Up

In all fairness, trend following technicals did turn up. It was even possible to interpret the market's push as a technical breakout. The October 30 ETF Profit Strategy update acknowledged and warned that: 'Trend following technicals, momentum, sentiment and seasonality suggest higher prices. But trend following technicals can be treacherous and we'll do well to view this rally with suspicion.'

In addition to just being suspicious, the update recommended to go short if the S&P falls below 1,270. S&P 1,270 is not just some random number, it was crucial support. The chart below, featured in the October 14 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter, shows why:

The Most Reliable Roadmap

The chart shows several distinct parallels between the 2007/08 market top and today.

                       https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/222.gif  

1) In 2007/08 the S&P touched the yellow trend line twice before slicing through it. The same occurred in 2011.

2) A break below the yellow trend line in 2008 led to a freefall decline. The same occurred on August 2, 2011. On July 31, the ETF Profit Strategy update warned that: 'A break below the 200-day SMA and the trend line may trigger panic selling.'

3) The initial 2008 low was followed by sideways trading and another low. The same occurred in 2011. The August 9 low at S&P 1,102 was followed by another low on October 4 at 1,077.

The October 2 ETF Profit Strategy update expected this low and foretold that: 'The ideal market bottom would see the S&P dip below 1,088 intraday, followed by a strong recovery and a close above 1,088.'

4) This low was followed by a retest of the yellow trend line in 2008. The equivalent 2011 yellow trend line ran through S&P 1,270.

The October 2 update stated that: 'From a technical point of view this counter trend rally should end somewhere around 1,275 - 1,300.'

The October 14 update warned that it wouldn't 'feel' right to short the S&P above 1,270: 'By the time the S&P gets to rendezvous with the yellow trend lines, optimism (at least to a certain degree) will be back and the media will probably tell us that a larger European debt crisis has been averted. It will take a strong contrarian conviction to short the markets at that time.'

Of course there's more to investing than blindly following a previous pattern that may or may not come true.

But as long as other research components such as seasonality and sentiment confirmed what the 2008 outline predicted, there was no reason to doubt it.

The Bottom Might Fall Out

Based solely on the 2008 script, stocks are due for much lower prices…’

 

 

 

Nobel Prize-Winning Economist: “War Is Widely Thought To Be Linked To Economic Good Times … NONSENSE” Washington’s Blog | Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy Washington’s Blog
November 1, 2011

Contrary to a Common Myth, War is Bad for the Economy

Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman wrote yesterday:

Military spending does create jobs when the economy is depressed. Indeed, much of the evidence that Keynesian economics works comes from tracking the effects of past military buildups.

(Mr. Krugman has said the same thing many times in the past. And many other influential people havesaid the same thing.)

I am not a Nobel prize winning economist … but Joseph Stiglitz is.

Stiglitz wrote in 2003:

War is widely thought to be linked to economic good times. The second world war is often said to have brought the world out of depression, and war has since enhanced its reputation as a spur to economic growth. Some even suggest that capitalism needs wars, that without them, recession would always lurk on the horizon.

Today, we know that this is nonsense. The 1990s boom showed that peace is economically far better than war. The Gulf war of 1991 demonstrated that wars can actually be bad for an economy.

Stiglitz has also said that this decade’s Iraq war has been very bad for the economy. See thisthis andthis.

A No-Brainer

This is a no-brainer, if you think about it.

We’ve been in Afghanistan for almost twice as long as World War II. We’ve been in Iraq for years longer than WWII. We’ve been involved in 7 or 8 wars in the last decade. And yet still in a depression. (And see this).

If wars really helped the economy, don’t you think things would have improved by now?

Indeed, the Iraq war alone could end up costing more than World War II. And given the other wars we’ve been involved in this decade, I believe that the total price tag for the so-called “War on Terror” will definitely support that of the “Greatest War”.

Additional Reasons War Is Bad for the Economy

The New Republic noted in 2009:

Conservative Harvard economist Robert Barro has argued that increased military spending during WWII actually depressed other parts of the economy.

Also from the right, Robert Higgs has done good work showing that military spendingwasn’t the primary source of the recovery and that GDP growth during WWII has been “greatly exaggerated.”

And from the left, Larry Summers and Brad Delong argued back in 1988 that “five-sixths of the decline in output relative to the trend that occurred during the Depression had been made up before 1942.”

Economist James Galbraith has shown that war always causes inflation, which hurts the average American:

Inflation applies the law of the jungle to war finance. Prices and profits rise, wages and their purchasing power fall. Thugs, profiteers and the well connected get rich. Working people and the poor make out as they can. Savings erode, through the unseen mechanism of the “inflation tax” — meaning that the government runs a big deficit in nominal terms, but a smaller one when inflation is factored in.

(Ben Bernanke says that inflation is a tax, and Dylan Grice notes that inflation causes societies to prosecute minorities.   And – sorry – but we can’t inflate our way out of our debt trap.)

As I noted last year:

All of the spending on unnecessary wars adds up.

The U.S. is adding trillions to its debt burden to finance its multiple wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.

Two top American economists – Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff – show that the more indebted a country is, with a government debt/GDP ratio of 0.9, and external debt/GDP of 0.6 being critical thresholds, the more GDP growth drops materially.

Specifically, Reinhart and Rogoff write:

The relationship between government debt and real GDP growth is weak for debt/GDP ratios below a threshold of 90 percent of GDP. Above 90 percent, median growth rates fall by one percent, and average growth falls considerably more. We find that the threshold for public debt is similar in advanced and emerging economies…

Indeed, it should be obvious to anyone who looks at the issue that deficits do matter.

A PhD economist [Michel Chossudovsky] told me:

War always causes recession. Well, if it is a very short war, then it may stimulate the economy in the short-run. But if there is not a quick victory and it drags on, then wars always put the nation waging war into a recession and hurt its economy.

You know about America’s unemployment problem. You may have even heard that the U.S. may very well have suffered a permanent destruction of jobs.

But did you know that the defense employment sector is booming?

As I pointed out in August, public sector spending – and mainly defense spending – has accounted for virtually all of the new job creation in the past 10 years:

The U.S. has largely been financing job creation for ten years. Specifically, as the chief economist for BusinessWeek, Michael Mandel, points out, public spending has accounted for virtually all new job creation in the past 10 years:

Private sector job growth was almost non-existent over the past ten years. Take a look at this horrifying chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs1.gif

Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period.

It’s impossible to overstate how bad this is. Basically speaking, the private sector job machine has almost completely stalled over the past ten years. Take a look at this chart:

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs2.gif

Over the past 10 years, the private sector has generated roughly 1.1 million additional jobs, or about 100K per year. The public sector created about 2.4 million jobs.

But even that gives the private sector too much credit. Remember that the private sector includes health care, social assistance, and education, all areas which receive a lot of government support.

***

Most of the industries which had positive job growth over the past ten years were in the HealthEdGov sector. In fact, financial job growth was nearly nonexistent once we take out the health insurers.

Let me finish with a final chart.

http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/longjobs4.gif

Without a decade of growing government support from rising health and education spending and soaring budget deficits, the labor market would have been flat on its back.

Indeed, Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich lamented last year

America’s biggest — and only major — jobs program is the U.S. military.

Back to my essay:

Raw Story argues that the U.S. is building a largely military economy:

The use of the military-industrial complex as a quick, if dubious, way of jump-starting the economy is nothing new, but what is amazing is the divergence between the military economy and the civilian economy, as shown by this New York Times chart.

In the past nine years, non-industrial production in the US has declined by some 19 percent. It took about four years for manufacturing to return to levels seen before the 2001 recession — and all those gains were wiped out in the current recession.

By contrast, military manufacturing is now 123 percent greater than it was in 2000 — it has more than doubled while the rest of the manufacturing sector has been shrinking…

It’s important to note the trajectory — the military economy is nearly three times as large, proportionally to the rest of the economy, as it was at the beginning of the Bush administration. And it is the only manufacturing sector showing any growth. Extrapolate that trend, and what do you get?

The change in leadership in Washington does not appear to be abating that trend…[121]

So most of the job creation has been by the public sector. But because the job creation has been financed with loans from China and private banks, trillions in unnecessary interest charges have been incurred by the U.S.And this shows military versus non-military durable goods shipments:

http://marketoracle.co.uk/images/2010/Jan/us-collapse-18-11.gif

[Click here to view full image.]

So we’re running up our debt (which will eventually decrease economic growth), but the only jobs we’re creating are military and other public sector jobs.

PhD economist Dean Baker points out that America’s massive military spending on unnecessary and unpopular wars lowers economic growth and increasesunemployment:

Defense spending means that the government is pulling away resources from the uses determined by the market and instead using them to buy weapons and supplies and to pay for soldiers and other military personnel. In standard economic models, defense spending is a direct drain on the economy, reducing efficiency, slowing growth and costing jobs.

A few years ago, the Center for Economic and Policy Research commissioned Global Insight, one of the leading economic modeling firms, to project the impact of a sustained increase in defense spending equal to 1.0 percentage point of GDP. This was roughly equal to the cost of the Iraq War.

Global Insight’s model projected that after 20 years the economy would be about 0.6 percentage points smaller as a result of the additional defense spending. Slower growth would imply a loss of almost 700,000 jobs compared to a situation in which defense spending had not been increased. Construction and manufacturing were especially big job losers in the projections, losing 210,000 and 90,000 jobs, respectively.

The scenario we asked Global Insight [recognized as the most consistentlyaccurate forecasting company in the world] to model turned out to have vastly underestimated the increase in defense spending associated with current policy. In the most recent quarter, defense spending was equal to 5.6 percent of GDP. By comparison, before the September 11th attacks, the Congressional Budget Office projected that defense spending in 2009 would be equal to just 2.4 percent of GDP. Our post-September 11th build-up was equal to 3.2 percentage points of GDP compared to the pre-attack baseline. This means that the Global Insight projections of job loss are far too low…

The projected job loss from this increase in defense spending would be close to 2 million. In other words, the standard economic models that project job loss from efforts to stem global warming also project that the increase in defense spending since 2000 will cost the economy close to 2 million jobs in the long run.

The Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst has also shown that non-military spending creates more jobs than military spending.

So we’re running up our debt – which will eventually decrease economic growth – and creating many fewer jobs than if we spent the money on non-military purposes.

As I wrote last year:

It is ironic that America’s huge military spending is what made us an empire … but our huge military is what is bankrupting us … thus destroying our status as an empire.

Even Admiral Mullen seems to agree:

The Pentagon needs to cut back on spending.

“We’re going to have to do that if it’s going to survive at all,” Mullen said, “and do it in a way that is predictable.”

Indeed, Mullen said:

For industry and adequate defense funding to survive … the two must work together. Otherwise, he added, “this wave of debt” will carry over from year to year, and eventually, the defense budget will be cut just to facilitate the debt.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates agrees as well. As David Ignatius wrote in the Washington Post in May:

After a decade of war and financial crisis, America has run up debts that pose a national security problem, not just an economic one.

***

One of the strongest voices arguing for fiscal responsibility as a national security issue has been Defense Secretary Bob Gates. He gave a landmark speech in Kansas on May 8, invoking President Dwight Eisenhower’s warnings about the dangers of an imbalanced military-industrial state.

“Eisenhower was wary of seeing his beloved republic turn into a muscle-bound, garrison state — militarily strong, but economically stagnant and strategically insolvent,” Gates said. He warned that America was in a “parlous fiscal condition” and that the “gusher” of military spending that followed Sept. 11, 2001, must be capped. “We can’t have a strong military if we have a weak economy,” Gates told reporters who covered the Kansas speech.

On Thursday the defense secretary reiterated his pitch that Congress must stop shoveling money at the military, telling Pentagon reporters: “The defense budget process should no longer be characterized by ‘business as usual’ within this building — or outside of it.”

While some might want to start another war, America’s top military leaders and economists say that would be a very bad idea.

Indeed, military strategists have known for 2,500 years that prolonged wars are disastrous.

Note 1: Security experts – conservative hawks and liberal doves alike – agree that waging war in the Middle East weakens national security and increases terrorism. See thisthisthisthisthisthis and this.

Terrorism – in turn – terrorism is bad for the economy.  Specifically, a study by Harvard and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) points out:

From an economic standpoint, terrorism has been described to have four main effects (see, e.g., US Congress, Joint Economic Committee, 2002). First, the capital stock (human and physical) of a country is reduced as a result of terrorist attacks. Second, the terrorist threat induces higher levels of uncertainty. Third, terrorism promotes increases in counter-terrorism expenditures, drawing resources from productive sectors for use in security. Fourth, terrorism is known to affect negatively specific industries such as tourism.

The Harvard/NBER concludes:

In accordance with the predictions of the model, higher levels of terrorist risks are associated with lower levels of net foreign direct investment positions, even after controlling for other types of country risks. On average, a standard deviation increase in the terrorist risk is associated with a fall in the net foreign direct investment position of about 5 percent of GDP.

So the more unnecessary wars American launches and the more innocent civilians we kill, the less foreign investment in America, the more destruction to our capital stock, the higher the level of uncertainty, the more counter-terrorism expenditures and the less expenditures in more productive sectors, and the greater the hit to tourism and some other industries.

Moreover:

Terrorism has contributed to a decline in the global economy (for example, European Commission, 2001).

So military adventurism increases terrorism which hurts the world economy. And see this.

Graham Summers’ Weekly Market Forecast (Wake Up Call Edition)  Phoenix Capital... 10/31/2011 The markets flew into this deal based on rumors and short-covering and are now waking up to the plain obvious facts that you cannot solve a debt problem with more debt.  So the financial world has collectively woken up and realized that the latest EU bailout scheme is fraught with problems and loose ends. Amongst the various problems are:

1)   The Greek private bondholders are furious that the ECB isn’t taking a haircut on its bonds too.

2)   German courts and voters aren’t too pleased with Merkel’s decision to go “all in” on the Euro experiment.

3)   The Greek default isn’t nearly large enough to render Greece solvent again

4)   The default has set a precedent for the other PIIGS countries to follow

5)   The CDS/ derivative issue regarding Greece’s default is not over by any stretch

6)   The entire EU banking system remains far too leveraged (26 to 1) and needs another $1.5+ trillion in capital at the minimum.

The markets flew into this deal based on rumors and short-covering and are now waking up to the plain obvious facts that you cannot solve a debt problem with more debt. Also, it might be worth considering just where the EFSF bailout money will be coming from when various EU members can’t even stage successful bond auctions without the ECB stepping in.

Again, the primary issue for the EU is a lack of capital. There is TOO MUCH debt there. And issuing more debt, no matter how cheap, is not going to help. Especially when your strongest member (Germany) sports a REAL debt to GDP above 200% and hasn’t recapitalized its banks.

So the EU will be crumbling in the coming weeks. This was the final hurrah for the EU and the Euro in its current form. On that note, the Euro was rejected at resistance at 142 and has already taken out support at 140.

Once we take out 139, look for this breakdown to pick up steam (pulling stocks with it).

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/10/sc-5.png  

Indeed, the financial world is talking about how this was the biggest move in stocks since 1974. Unfortunately, few remember that after that move in 1974, the markets cratered.

Some thoughts on stocks… isn’t it a little strange that the market fell exactly 20% (the “official” bear market level) before kicking off the biggest ramp job in 30 years? How about the fact that this move came for no real reason other than rumors of another bailout (what are we on #3 for this?).

Can this move really be attributed to Euro choosing to let Greece default (which is what happened in reality)?

http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/10/sc-7.png

Regardless, stocks were deflected from resistance at 1,275 or so. They’re now on their way down again. The market is extremely overbought and susceptible to a fast violent move downwards.

Indeed, the credit markets remain jammed up and are anticipating even more haircuts from Greece. And the rest of the PIIGS will be following suit in the default game.

Ignore stocks, they’re ALWAYS the last to “get it.” The credit markets are jamming up just like they did in 2008. The banking system is flashing all the same signals as well.

So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We're literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe's banks imploding.

What happened in 2008 was literally just the warm up. The REAL DEAL is coming in the next 14 months. And it’s going to involve corporate, financial, and sovereign defaults…’

Why Last Week's Euro Fix Won't Do the Trick ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, On Monday October 31, 2011, ‘The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) surged over 3% last Thursday. Why? In a financial episode that starts to look more and more like the 1993 movie Groundhog Day, European leaders once again received credit for engineering this rally.

More specifically, the euro-zones three-pronged approach to fix the debt crisis was viewed by the market as the cure to all problems.

However, a closer look at the Brussels salvation plan reveals nothing but flaws. So why did stocks rally and will the rally last?

3 Steps to Save Europe

Here's the plan outlined by European leaders last Thursday:

1) Private investors agree to a 50% haircut on their Greek bond holdings.

2) The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) will be increased to $1.4 trillion.

3) European banks need to bring their Tier 1 capital ratios up to 9%.

3 Problems of the 3 Steps to Save Europe

1) Private sector creditors such as insurers, banks, and funds are expected to take losses of about $140 billion on Greek bonds. To protect against such losses, large institutions tend to buy credit default swaps (CDS). CDS act like insurance.

However, since Greece did not technically default, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) is unlikely to consider the restructuring an event that will trigger CDS payouts.

In other words, CDS (the insurance policy of choice for financial conglomerates) won't pay. This could lead to an implosion of the sovereign CDS market. This in turn would severely reduce demand for government bonds. Who wants to buy risky bonds knowing that the 'insurance company' won't pay?

2) The EFSF was funded with about $616 billion. About $266 billion have already been spent or earmarked; so about $350 billion remain to be spent. Who will contribute the $1.05 trillion to attain the targeted $1.4 trillion? Nobody.

The remaining $350 billion will be leveraged 4-5 times to produce the $1.4 trillion leveraged figure. Leveraged how? This has yet to be determined.

3) European banks - along with U.S. banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) and financial institutions (NYSEArca: XLF - News) are already cash strapped. Bringing up their Tier 1 capital ratio will probably turn into a financial engineering exercise as raising actual cash - especially in Europe - is difficult…’

  1. Does giving a bankrupt nation more money right after it defaults a good idea?
  2. Does requiring an additional $100+ billion in capital for banks that need north of $1.77 trillion in new capital really accomplish anything?
  3. Do bailouts involving more leverage and debt work when the entire banking system is insolvent?

 

 

 

 

 

Is It Foolish to Get Excited About the Latest Deal to Save Europe? ETFguide    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Is-It-Foolish-to-Get-Excited-etfguide-2444921710.html?x=0&.v=1   Simon Maierhofer, On Thursday October 27, 2011 ‘Before you get excited about the last minute Euro-Deal, consider this:

Wall Street has been dancing to Greece's (and by extension Europe's) whistle. If Greece says 'jump,' Wall Street jumps, if Greece says 'Sorry, false alarm,' Wall Street cries.

This sorry dance has been going on for nearly two years. Like an endless loop of chicken dance, this may be fun at first (about 2 minutes) but gets old real fast. If you are tired of Wall Street's 'chicken dance coverage' and want to know what's really going on and how to make money (or protect your assets), here's a no nonsense assessment of Europe.

Greece - Fool Me Once ...

Fool me once, shame on Greece, fool me twice, shame on me. Greece has been the scapegoat for every major sell off and catalyst for most rallies and dead dog bounces since January 2010.

Shame on you if you think everything's going to be hunky-dory just because Greece and/or its European pretend-to-be saviors announce another plan to come up with a plan.

The Problem

Here's the problem: Greece is broke and Greece has no significant revenue sources to pay off its debt. Foreign investors own about $385 billion worth of Greek government debt.

Many banks and governments that own Greek debt are at the brink of insolvency already, so Greece's inability to pay its debt may push other countries and their banks into a Greece-like position (that's called contagion).

Misleading Information

You can't trust statements from European officials because they are trying to prevent panic. Panic will make any kind of solutions more expensive and more difficult to execute.

Luxembourg's Prime Minister (also Chairman of regular eurozone meetings) blatantly admitted that: 'When it becomes serious, you have to lie.'

Obviously no political leader wants the eurozone to fall apart on their watch, so they pretend and extend and kick the can down the road far enough for it become someone else's problem (someone else will inevitably include rosy-eyed investors).

This postpones the inevitable, but the portfolios of investors who are faithful enough to trust such assessments suffer a death of thousand cuts. Just imagine where your portfolio would be if you sold everything when Greece first announced it had some 'minor' fiscal problems. Like tearing a bandage off a hairy leg, slower is more painful.

You also can't trust the media because they profit from sensationalist headlines, not sound investment advice. If that means they have to spoon-feed a consistent diet of 'Stocks bounce on hopes for a Europe fix' followed by 'Stocks plummet on fears over Europe,' then that's what they'll do. Fortunately we can choose not to partake from the junk food dished out by the media.

On a different note, have you noticed how bad news (such as downgrades) is reported after the close (particularly Fridays), while good news (or even just good rumors) are reported while the markets are open.

The (Only?) Plan

Let's just be realistic and just admit that Greece is as good as bankrupt. The country just doesn't have enough income to pay its debt load and keep the country functioning properly without outside financial support.

Eventually Greece's saviors will realize that this is a leaky bucket-like money pit. A sudden and unprepared Greek bankruptcy would shatter the eurozone unless Greece is quarantined first. The goal here would be to sequester ripple effects that would cripple Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and whoever else is hiding in the closet.

Doing this wouldn't be cheap. To prepare for a such a quarantine (which is a more diplomatic term than ejection) from the eurozone, Europe (via the EFSF) would have to prepare and fund a fund that can pay for:

1) Defaulting Greek government debt

2) Shoring up banks that won't qualify for inter-bank credit

2) Make sure Italy and the next dominos in line are safe

Statfor Global Intelligence estimates the price tag to be about - drum roll - $3 trillion. The chart below visually explains the above-described process. Can Europe scrape together $3 trillion?

Doomed if You Do, Doomed if You Don't

I don't think it matters much, because the above plan doesn't take into account human emotions, panic, in particular. European banks' deposits at the European Central Bank (ECB) have already mushroomed. This means that already one bank doesn't trust another bank with their money.

The combination of liquidity drying up and assets imploding is a lethal one. What about those saying 'Things aren't that bad.'

Just consider Dexia. Dexia pased the European bank stress test with flying colors but still had to be rescued. Dexia is supposed to be rescued partially by the country of Belgium, but Belgium's national debt is already 100% of GDP. Depending on Dexia's actual losses, Belgium's national debt may soar to 120% of GDP just by having to bail out one bank. Do you know how many banks there are in Europe?

How To Make (or Protect Your) Money

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter doesn't specialize on European coverage, but it's provided some much needed common sense. On March 18, 2010 it stated that: 'Until now financial problems in various European countries have been minimized and swept under the carpet. The sub-prime crisis took more than a few weeks to rattle Wall Street. Chances are the investing world will need a bit more time to catch on to what really is happening with sovereign debt overseas.'

On July 17, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter recommended to short the iShares MSCI EAFE and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (NYSEArca: EEM - News). Over the next couple weeks, EFA lost 22% and EEM 39%.

Under the headline 'Prepare for Bottom Fishing,' the newsletter recommended on September 23 to prepare for a market bottom and stated that: 'European stock market may get some relief over the next weeks/month. The same is true for EFA and EEM. Those markets are temperamental and will therefore bounce higher than U.S. stocks when the rally materializes. Aggressive investors may add some European/emerging or BRIC market exposure to their portfolio once we start buying U.S. stocks.'

We bought U.S. stocks on October 4 at S&P 1,088. The October 2 ETF Profit Strategy update outlined the ideal market bottom as follows: 'The ideal market bottom would see the S&P dip below 1,088 intraday followed by a strong recovery and a close above 1,088' and recommended to buy as soon as the S&P moved back above 1,088.

The The October 14 ETF Profit Strategy update stated the following price target: 'The S&P should rally to 1,255 - 1,xxx (reserved for subscribers).

The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) are up well over 17%, the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) down over 80% since. The Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF (NYSEArca: VGK - News) is up nearly 30% while Wall Street is scratching its head over what just happened. How could the S&P soar 200 points in three weeks?

What's Next?

It would be naive to get excited about the latest euro news. 'Once burnt twice shy' wouldn't be a bad approach now and long positions should be kept on a tight leash. Sentiment and seasonality suggest higher prices, however technicals are in topping mode.

Today's intraday ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update provides detailed recommendations on how to navigate this market constellation along with an out-of-the box analysis and actionable ETF profit strategies.’

The Greek Deal Accomplishes Nothing… Systemic Risk is Coming   http://gainspainscapital.com October 27th, 2011 ‘The markets are exploding higher this morning on news of the expanded Euro Bailout. The numbers at the moment are

  1. A 50% haircut for private Greek bondholders
  2. European banks have eight months to raise about $147 billion in capital
  3. An expansion of the European Financial Stability facility to $1.3 trillion.

First off, let’s call this for what it is: a default on the part of Greece. Moreover it’s a default that isn’t big enough as a 50% haircut on private debt holders only lowers Greece’s total debt level by 22% or so.

Secondly, even after the haircut, Greece still has Debt to GDP levels north of 130%. And it’s expected to bring these levels to 120% by 2020.

And the IMF is giving Greece another $137 billion in loans.

So… Greece defaults… but gets $137 billion in new money (roughly what the default will wipe out) and is expected to still be insolvent in 2020.

Forgetting that any and all official estimates for Greece’s financial condition have been off by a mile, not to mention that Greece still hasn’t paid back its first round of bailout funds, this move is nothing short of moronic.

The reasons are:

  1. The default is not big enough (I expect Greek bondholders to get 20-30 cents back on the Dollar at best in the future)
  2. It accomplishes nothing of significance (Greece is still broke), and…
  3. It will trigger a credit event and has the makings of systemic risk.

Let’s put some of the other numbers from this deal into perspective. According to the agreement, European banks are supposed to raise $147 billion in new capital by June.

Well, German banks alone need to raise $173 billion in new capital. So… this new capital “requirement” from the deal is pointless.

Indeed, the European banking system as a whole is insolvent.

With OVER $46 trillion in assets outstanding, European banks would need to raise $1.77 TRILLION in capital to bring their leverage levels down to 13 to 1.

Yes… $1.7 TRILLION…

Now you see why the extra $147 billion in new capital is pointless. It’s like pouring a bucket of water into a desert and expecting it to sprout a jungle.

Folks, let’s get honest here. This deal accomplishes nothing. It’s just more “kicking the can” to avoid the reality. The reality is that the entire European Banking system is leveraged at near Lehman Brothers levels. And European banks need to roll over between 15-50% of their total debt (depending on which country they’re in) by the end of 2012. The credit markets know this, which is why they’re predicting more Greece haircuts in the future. It’s also why IMF has decided to lend Greece another $137 billion… right as the country defaults.

Ignore this latest pop in stocks and the Euro. This mess isn’t over… not by a long shot. And before the smoke clears, much of Euro will be in default/ banking collapses.

So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We’re literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe’s banks imploding…’

 



Europe Wallows In Insolveable Problems Bob Chapman | We address this European issue, because soon it will debut in the US.

 

 

Inflation, Jobs, and the Artificial Flow of Monetary Policy  Minyanville Atlantic Capital Management Oct 27, 2011 [ This is an incisively astute analysis of the currently hailed but doomed to be failed strategy now underway! ]  While the stock market (SPY) (QQQ) continues to pin its hopes on a successful European monetary device in some esoteric but mildly believable format, complete with willful leveraging, the economic consequences of such monetary “solutions” continue to indicate the predictable results of so much intervention in every part of the global economy.  Mainstream economics may still regard the Phillips Curve with fondness, believing that there is a direct, inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation, but the empirical economic history shows that it is a flawed line of thinking that always leads to the opposite result of what was intended.
 
If your base economic theory posited that an increase in expectations of inflation would decrease the rate of unemployment, you would not think twice about using inflation expectations as a blunt instrument to combat joblessness. That is what the Federal Reserve has done since 2008, first with its zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) and then two scaled programs of quantitative easing (QE).  While ZIRP and the first QE were specifically designed to bail out the ailing banking system, the “side effect” on inflation expectations was an added bonus for a central bank still deathly afraid of the smallest hint of deflation.
 
The second QE, “announced” in August 2010, was calculated specifically to increase inflation expectations.  Between that announcement and its actual implementation in November 2010, the Fed ramped up its PR initiatives with the expressed aim of convincing the public that the Fed knew what it was doing.  It fully believed(s) that inflation expectations – even increasing oil prices (see Federal Reserve Board’s Research Paper “Oil Shocks and the Zero Bound on Nominal Interest Rates” published in September 2010) – were economically beneficial, and, most importantly, that should inflation begin to get out of hand, as it had done in the 1970s, it could be turned off in “15 minutes.” Certainly central banks have a very good idea of what their simple models (even those that are formed by more than two elemental variables) of the real world may predict, but an utterly complex and human system rarely conforms to any static statistical distributions, leaving the practitioners of such academic simplification often unprepared for “unexpected” and “unintended” results.
 
The abstract dangers to such a program of intentional inflation, carried out directly through dollar devaluation, were accepted because the program would, without a mathematical doubt in the two-variable paradigm of modern economics, generate increasing employment.  Although the theory of the Phillips Curve would have to be put into practice through some very unconventional means, there has been little doubt expressed by policymakers that the economy would not be “saved” by all these monetary machinations.
 
However, the theoretical notions of inflation psychology, especially expressed through energy prices, simply did not live up to those Fed-designed mathematical predictions. Unfortunately, the Fed was very successful in creating inflation expectations (commodity prices were elevated as early as November 2010 when QE 2.0 got under way, and had almost reached 2008 levels by February 2011), but no sustained job growth followed. 
 
It was not as if the principle intended economic effects failed to materialize. The primary vehicle to carry forward job growth out of inflation expectations is inventory production.  Manufacturing, wholesale and retail operations (the supply chain) all accumulate inventory based on cost expectations for the near future.  Any increase in commodity prices triggers the accumulation urge, especially in an environment where businesses are fairly uncertain of their ability to pass on additional costs to the next level in the supply chain (or ultimately end users). 
 
That is exactly what we have seen during this recovery period – one increasingly led by a historic inventory accumulation (though it is fair to say that the initial inventory buildup occurred because of the large-scale depletion of inventory stocks during the 2008/09 collapse).  The October 2011 durable goods release showed a record level of inventory accumulation in the manufacturing sector.  While that overall report seemed to indicate better conditions than recently feared, shipments of manufactured durable goods actually fell by 0.7% in the month.
 
The day before the durable goods report, the Conference Board’s estimation of consumer confidence fell all the way to 39.8 – a level not seen since May 2009 .  The current conditions component of that survey dropped to an unthinkably low 26.3 (a level reserved for economies in the midst of contraction).  Not surprisingly, one-year inflation expectations remained elevated at 5.8%, combining the lack of job growth with those Fed-inspired prices to once again call into question any real-world notion of a Phillips Curve-like dynamic.
 
The Fed succeeded in stoking expectations, elongating the inventory cycle, and then combined the worst aspects of inflation with a lack of success in the labor market.  Where did it all go wrong?
 
Perhaps the economic orthodoxy of the Federal Reserve and mainstream economics is simply outdated.  The Phillips Curve was questionable even in the 1970s, when inventory cycles moved the whole of the economy.  In 2011, however, manufacturing has so much less of an impact on employment since its proportion of the overall jobs market has been greatly reduced. 
 
The reduction in the importance of manufacturing itself is a product of dollar devaluation, now heading into its twelfth year.  So any marginal increase in inventory activity spurred manufacturing levels more in China than domestically.  The increase in inventory levels from domestic sources has been at the wholesale and retail levels, leading to the “part time” recovery, where low-level service jobs have been disproportionately high. 
 
The counterweight to that “open” economy dynamic is supposed to be an increase in domestic exports to offset the trade imbalance (it is not coincidence that the current administration was explicitly and publicly aiming to “double” exports within five years).  But the US has developed a system of recycling trade money into various forms of asset claims, whereby the sustained trade imbalance and current account deficit is simply maintained through asset prices and debt issuance.
 
During the last decade imported goods filled almost the entirety of marginal consumption, meaning US dollars flowed overseas in abundance (hundreds of billions a year).  If those dollars had been returned in reciprocal, bilateral trade, there would be no issue.  Instead, those trade dollars were repatriated largely by foreign central banks as official reserves being invested in US government debt – especially debt issued by the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie and Freddie.  In other words, this structural trade imbalance was one of the primary drivers of the housing bubble .  Even private sector inflows of repatriated dollars tended to end up in some form of government debt, rather than the more beneficial direct investment.
 
To close the loop of monetary flow to consumers (remember that an economy is supposed to be a system of sustained and broadening monetary flow), the recycled trade dollars flowing into GSE debt helped push up the price of real estate, allowing households to finance consumption through debt-based housing equity withdrawals rather than wage or earned income that would have come from a true bilateral trade regime. 

The service economy that grew in response to this artificial loop was dangerously dependent on the continued success of the “financial” economy and its continued leakage into the real economy through housing. This encompasses a whole range of industries, from finance, real estate and insurance, to business services and even construction.  These sector job markets grew as the backbone of what little wage growth did occur in the last decade, but they were completely dependent on the artificial and indirect flow of money into prices (the “wealth effect”).  Without revisiting the price dynamics of the period, these artificial engines of unsustainable growth cannot repeat their “success” in 2011.
 
A sustainable system of economic flow, even in an open environment, would have seen trade dollars returned to the US as demand for US-produced goods (where US workers would have been hired to produce them, closing the trade loop back into earned income).  However, monetary urges within the Fed to desperately counteract the potential deflationary consequences of the bursting tech bubble made the system a willing participant in the artificial, marginal debt trade system.  The Fed, abandoning its role as money supply officiant, gladly accepted the system as it was since it coincided exactly with its monetary policy’s short-term goals of avoiding having to pay the piper of the dot-com fiasco.
 
When the housing bubble finally collapsed, starting in 2006, the loop of economic flow of trade dollars back to consumers through home equity was broken, slowly at first.  It is not coincidence that corporate profitability began to decline and marginal economic expansion began to slow in the middle of 2006.  It has not been since repaired, as marginal consumption still annoyingly flows overseas.  Worse, though, marginal production that does remain domestically is acutely susceptible to the rising input costs of dollar devaluation, disproportionately impacting smaller businesses. 
 
So the current economy has no solution to recycle the marginal trade dollars back to households (it currently flows into “regular” US government debt, which does see some money get to households in the form of transfers such as unemployment insurance and food stamps, but far more simply finances the ongoing deficit).  On top of that, the rest of the economy is unable to simply absorb the cost increases that come with intentionally creating inflation expectations.  The first part of the Phillips Curve “plan” (inflation) worked without kicking off the second (reduced unemployment), where half a success really is a whole failure. 
 
Without a sustained and intentional effort to remove incentives to produce overseas, the trade imbalance will continue to be a drag on marginal economic flow.  Further, without finding a way to close the loop of marginal flows through import production, even artificially through another asset bubble, the inflation expectations that are created will just be a further drag without any chance for a positive offset.
 
So companies like
Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) can still do relatively well in their bottom lines, but unless they begin to commit a large portion of their built-up cash balances for some kind of domestic capex program, they do not really enhance the wider economic prospects of marginal beneficial flow through wages.  Companies like Caterpillar (CAT) are at least investing in capex, but so much of their positive results flow from the trade imbalance and dollar devaluation dynamic that it makes little sense for them to do it domestically (outside of the gratuitous stock buyback program that does nothing for employment). 
 
The monetary system of incentives built up by ZIRP (which would recycle money into the hands of savers to spend, but is instead a tax on them in favor of rebuilding bank equity) and QEs is exactly the opposite of what is needed.  Instead of promoting incentives for companies that are doing well to expand production overseas, or to use their growing stockpiles of cash resources on financial engineering instead of actual engineering, the economic system needs to repair itself through less artificial and more sustainable avenues.  Unemployment can remain high right alongside inflation if there is no closed marginal loop of monetary flow from businesses to households/consumers and back to businesses.  What really matters is the path that marginal dollars take in fostering actual economic activity.
 
At the very least, the Fed should try not to make things worse by pushing inflation expectations in the first place without a better idea of exactly how to recreate a healthy system of monetary flow primarily through wages.  But that would require them to not only re-examine the Phillips Curve, but also their misguided commitment to the ephemeral “wealth effect.”  After all, rising artificial asset prices is just another form of inflation, something we have had enough of through these last two historic asset bubbles.

A Dysfunctional System That Bankrupts A Generation Wolf Richter | At fault is the system itself.

 

Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com  ‘The good news is there’s a plan. The bad news is we don’t really have the details pinned down as noted HERE. More good news is this stock market rally, should it hold Monday, will mark the largest in the last quarter century if records make for good news. Make of it what you will but shorts have been squeezed out of whatever positions they maintained. That might in itself be bad news. The pressure to make a deal was very high. After all, if the banks didn’t (and still haven’t actually) accepted a “voluntary” restructuring of Greek debt, the an “involuntary” event would mean default. This would in turn trigger CDS (Credit Default Swaps) activity which counter-parties probably could not pay. Contagion would burn through the financial system creating chaos. This is why the FT article from above is so interesting and worrisome.Where will the firepower come from to push stock markets higher given the high rate of equity fund redemptions over the past three years? The last I checked equity mutual fund cash balances were only 3.4%). No, juice for bulls will come from private investors with managed funds switching from bonds to stocks. The other source for buying is from the usual suspects—hedge funds, trading desks and HFTs.Bonds did sell-off as switching to equities and more risk was apparent. On the other hand, commodities rallied as authorities have chosen inflation (no surprise here) over deflation. It’s easier to do politically if you don’t care about succeeding generations. Gold, silver, base metals, energy and most commodities rose sharply as a result. You want to pay more for stuff don’t you? That’s the trade-off when pursuing Keynesian policies and big government.Economic data Thursday was shrugged-off as the two problem areas Jobless Claims (still over 400K) and Pending Home Sales (-4.6% vs unchanged expected) continued to struggle. GDP data was reported at 2.5% growth matching expectations and vs 1.3% previous. Most of the growth there was from consumer spending the bulk of which was in the computer category (iGadgets?).Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s Personal Consumer Consumption vs Confidence clearly displays the disconnect between the two:

But such swinging cuts are also dependent on almost all Greek bondholders agreeing to participate in the plan. Unlike the July deal, which set a target at 90 per cent participation, Thursday’s plan includes no such target. In addition, by taking such big up-front haircuts, European officials threaten the very solvency of the largest single holders of Greek debt – Greek banks, which hold about €50bn in sovereign Greek bonds.

After today's ridiculous move in the market, which brings back memories of either August 2007, March 2008, the reaction after the Tarp vote (the successful one), August 2011, when the market gyrated by 400 points on a daily basis, and many more bear market rallies, we hope to restores some semblance of normalcy by presenting the following series of clips all from Hugh Hendry speechs at the LSE's Alternative Investments Conference earlier this year.

Operation Twist Does Nothing for the Real Economy Minyanville 

 

 

 

Parallels to The Great Depression Suggest Higher Prices Followed by a Bust ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, October 25, 2011 ‘They say everything is bigger and better in Texas. Simon says, everything is bigger and 'badder' (as in worse) on Wall Street today, than 85 years ago.

Despite all the parallels that exist between today and the Great Depression, there is one factor that just doesn't match up - time. The Great (post-2007) Recession has already lasted longer than the 1929 - 1932 market meltdown.

If you focus merely on elapsed time, you can reach two conclusions:

1) Either there is no parallel, or the 2007 bear market is over.

2) The 2007 bear market will be more intense and last longer than the 1929 - 1932 parallel.

A look at the pattern and shape of the post-1929 and post-2007 declines along with the sentiment that accompanied major events within both periods, suggest that we are in a monster version of the Great Depression with the next leg down not too far away.

It Can't Happen Again - Think Again

I've often heard that the Great Depression can't happen again because we are no longer on the gold (NYSEArca: GLD - News) standard. The absence of the gold standard now allows the Federal Reserve to print their way out of any recession.

That is true; the Fed can now print unlimited amounts of money. However, the non-existent gold standard is a double-edged sword. Just as it enables the Fed to print money (which the Fed has done for decades), it has enabled a massive leveraged bubble.

It's this unbridled (by the gold standard) leveraged frenzy that created a huge financial (NYSEArca: XLF - News) leverage bubble. The Federal Reserve attempted to fix the bubble's consequences with a new bubble, the QE2 bubble.

Regarding the QE2 bubble, the May ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter stated that: 'The Fed is fueling a new bubble to combat the damage left behind by the previous one. Once punctured, bubbles tend to deflate quickly.' Deflate it did. The S&P lost 296 points from the May 2 high to the October 4 low. The 'liberty' of an unbridled currency did not prevent the decline.

Sentiment Parallels

Here's where the parallels between the Great Depression stock market meltdown and the post-2007 decline become interesting.

Both declines saw an initial leg down followed by the mother of all counter trend rallies. The 1929/30 counter trend rally lasted a little more than five months and retraced 62% of the previous decline. The 2009-11 counter trend rally retraced 86% of the previous decline (based on the Dow Jones Industrial Average).

Here are some newspaper headlines that appeared in April 1930 towards the end of the biggest sucker rally, so far:

'The outlook is favorable' - Harvard Economic Society

'The depression is over' - Herbert Hoover

'There is nothing in the situation to be disturbed about' Andrew Mellon, Treasury Secretary

'Wall Street was in a cheerful frame of mind as a result of numerous vague reports of improvements in business and industry' - Wall Street Journal

Following this brief flash of confidence, the Dow tumbled 10% within two and a half months. Interestingly, this second major leg of the bear market kicked off in April.

Fast-forward 81 years to April 2011 and we read the following headlines:

'Global economy is improving' - GE CEO Immelt

'Sales growth the biggest surprise on Wall Street' - Wall Street Journal

'Equities finally seeing light on the economy' - MarketWatch

Just when Wall Street thought the bear market was over, the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) delivered a six month, 20% drop. The Dow (DJI: ^DJI), Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC), and Russell 2000 (Chicago Options: ^RUT) followed suit.

Technical Similarities

The chart below compares the Dow's performance of 1928 - 32 to that of 2007 - 11. It took a break below trend lines in 1929 and 1930 to kick off powerful declines.

How Wall Street Banks Fleeces America YouTube | Author Stephen Lendman speaks about the fleecing of America by Wall Street banks

 

Guess Who’s Even More Leveraged Than the European Banks?  Phoenix Capital... : 10/25/2011  ‘The US banking system as a whole is leveraged at 13-to-1. While this is not horrible relative to Europe’s banking system (more on this in a moment), these levels still mean that an 8% drop in asset...While the world is awash in liquidity, no one seems to notice that it’s actually in the form of leverage or cheap debt, NOT real capital or equity.The US banking system as a whole is leveraged at 13-to-1. While this is not horrible relative to Europe’s banking system (more on this in a moment), these levels still mean that an 8% drop in asset values wipes out ALL equity.

Then you have Europe’s banking system, which is leveraged at 26-to-1. Anecdotally, this is borderline Lehman Brothers (30 to 1). At these levels, even a 4% drop in asset prices wipes out ALL equity.

Japan’s banks are leveraged at 23 to 1. France’s are 26 to 1. Germany is 32 to 1.

You get the idea.

However, worse than any of these the US Federal Reserve. With $2.8 trillion in assets and only $52 billion in capital, the Fed is leveraged at 53 to 1. Yes, 53 to 1.

My question is: if the Fed prints money for itself… is it “raising capital?” More to the point… if that was true why doesn’t the Fed do it? Why maintain these leverage levels?Only Bernanke can know… but the rest of us should feel a very serious shudder when we consider that THE bank that’s supposed to bailout the world/ fix the problems plaguing the financial system, is in fact even more leveraged that most of the institutions it’s helping.

Yes, stocks are rallying now based on the view that more QE 3 or monetary easing is on the way… but they’re missing the BIG picture here.

The BIG picture is that there is far too much debt in the financial system. Europe’s getting taken to the cleaners today… but these very same issues are going to spread to Japan and the US in short order. Even China, which is considered THE creditor nation of the world, is estimated to post a REAL Debt to GDP ratio of 200%.

Yes, 200%. China.

So the idea that somehow the world’s going to pass through this current chapter in its history without some MAJOR fireworks/ systemic failure, seems a little too optimistic.Folks, something VERY bad is brewing behind the scenes. The Sarkozy- Merkel talks, the short-selling bans, the halted stocks, the leveraged EFSF, the hints of QE 3, all of this is telling us that the financial system is on DEFCON 1 Red Alert. Ignore stocks, they’re ALWAYS the last to “get it.” The credit markets are jamming up just like they did in 2008. The banking system is flashing all the same signals as well. So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We're literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe's banks imploding.

On that note, if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, my Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.Within its nine pages I explain precisely how the Second Round of the Crisis will unfold, where it will hit hardest, and the best means of profiting from it (the very investments my clients used to make triple digit returns in 2008).Best of all, this report is 100% FREE.

ECRI Recession Watch: Growth Index Drops Further   http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/ECRI-Weekly-Leading-Index.php Doug Short 10-21-11 ‘The Weekly Leading Index (WLI) growth indicator of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) has now posted 11 consecutive declines since early August. The interim high of 8.0 was set in the week ending on April 15. The latest reading, data through October 14, is -10.1, down from the previous week's -9.7.

On September 30th, the ECRI publicly announced that the U.S. is tipping into a recession, a call the Institute had announced to its private clients on September 21st.

Early last week, ECRI notified clients that the U.S. economy is indeed tipping into a new recession. And there's nothing that policy makers can do to head it off.

ECRI's recession call isn't based on just one or two leading indexes, but on dozens of specialized leading indexes, including the U.S. Long Leading Index, which was the first to turn down — before the Arab Spring and Japanese earthquake — to be followed by downturns in the Weekly Leading Index and other shorter-leading indexes. In fact, the most reliable forward-looking indicators are now collectively behaving as they did on the cusp of full-blown recessions, not "soft landings." Read the report here.

For a close look at this movement of this index in recent months, here's a snapshot of the data since 2000.

 

http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/indicators/ECRI-WLI-growth-since-2000.gif
Click for a larger image

 

Now let's step back and examine the complete series available to the public, which dates from 1967. The ECRI WLI growth metric has had a respectable record for forecasting recessions and rebounds therefrom. The next chart shows the correlation between the WLI, GDP and recessions.

 

http://advisorperspectives.com/dshort/charts/indicators/ECRI-WLI-growth-since-1965.gif
Click for a larger image

 

A significant decline in the WLI has been a leading indicator for six of the seven recessions since the 1960s. It lagged one recession (1981-1982) by nine weeks. The WLI did turned negative 17 times when no recession followed, but 14 of those declines were only slightly negative (-0.1 to -2.4) and most of them reversed after relatively brief periods.

Three other three negatives were deeper declines. The Crash of 1987 took the Index negative for 34 weeks with a trough of -6.8. The Financial Crisis of 1998, which included the collapse of Long Term Capital Management, took the Index negative for 23 weeks with a trough of -4.5.

The third significant negative came near the bottom of the bear market of 2000-2002, about nine months after the brief recession of 2001. At the time, the WLI seemed to be signaling a double-dip recession, but the economy and market accelerated in tandem in the spring of 2003, and a recession was avoided.

The question had been whether the WLI decline that began in Q4 of 2009 was a leading indicator of a recession. The published index has never dropped to the -11.0 level in July 2010 without the onset of a recession. The deepest decline without a recession onset was in the Crash of 1987, when the index slipped to -6.8. The ECRI managing director correctly predicted that we would avoid a double dip. The eight quarters of positive GDP since the end of the last recession supports the ECRI stance.

The Certainty and Dramatic Language of ECRI's New Recession Call

What is particularly striking about the ECRI's current recession call is the fervor and certainty of the language in the public press release:

"Here's what ECRI's recession call really says: if you think this is a bad economy, you haven’t seen anything yet. And that has profound implications for both Main Street and Wall Street."

I remain astonished at the complete absence of wiggle room in the announcement, nor have I seen any public communications from the ECRI to qualify or soften its recession call. ECRI has put its credibility on the line. If the U.S. avoids a recession, ECRI's reputation will be permanently damaged.

The WLI Versus Other Macroeconomic Indicators

For additional perspective on the performance of this indicator, see Comparing the ECRI Weekly Leading Index with Two Key Competitors, which highlights the curious behavior of the WLI following the 2008 Financial Crisis. The chart below is an overlay of the three since 2000. Note: I have divided the ECRI WLI by 10 to display on a single vertical axis with the other two indicators.

The ECRI Weekly Leading Index appears to be more sensitive to upturns than either the Philly Fed's ADS Business Conditions Index (ADS) or the Chicago Fed's Current Activity Index. In fact, it has oscillated in a pronounced fashion since the 2009 recession trough:

·         Its peak in 2009, interim low in 2010 (which the Institute firmly stated was not a recession signal),

·         the interim high in April 2011,

·         and the current reading, which the Institute has identified as a recession flag.

The ECRI Weekly Leading Index will be fascinating to watch in the months to come. On Monday of next week we will have an opportunity to see if the Chicago Fed's National Activity Index is beginning to support the ECRI call. And on Thursday we will have the Advance Report on Q3 GDP.’

Earnings news continued to flow Friday with good results from fast food outlets McDonalds (MCD) which was helped by stronger sales in Europe boosted by the euro and Chipotle (CMG) whose stock soared 8%.  I guess fast food is the big deal now which strikes me as an odd reason to rally stocks overall.

Mostly panned were earnings from General Electric (GE) as their core utility business had slowed and Microsoft (MSFT) which seems just a utility-like company. But, strong earnings and stock price gains were reported from some tech companies like SanDisk (SNDK), Altera (ALTR) and Seagate (STX). European optimism sprang from hopes the EU would save itself if for no other reason than because it must. The weekend features serious meetings to structure a working plan (again…sigh) which we’re told should lead to a vote on Wednesday. There are enough stories and rumors that are positive and negative. Even the most positive rumor leaves a “fix” with a $1 trillion shortfall. Will the IMF and U.S. fill the void? Good grief!! Late in the trading day the Fed threw more gas on the bulls’ fire with Fed Vice-Chairman Janet Yellen discussing the possibilities of QE3 if the economy doesn’t perk-up. This would be controversial while reinforcing how all-in the Fed is with its Keynesian policies. It’s that if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, and try…again policy since they have nothing else. QE2 accomplished what? A phony stock market rally which pleased the Fed but once ended reality hit home as the safety net was removed. Gold rallied to recover most of the losses from previous sessions as the dollar weakened once again in anticipation of an EU fix. The Japanese yen rose to record high and the BOJ won’t like this one bit. As stocks rose naturally bonds fell and commodity prices rose. Volume was about average for recent trading periods and breadth per the WSJ was quite positive.’

With Some Hope In Europe, Time To Go Short? Forbes   Steve Schaefer, Forbes Staff  ‘European leaders are gathering Sunday and Wednesday in meetings aimed at hashing out an expansion of the region’s bailout fund and recapitalizing banks, but with expectations for a solution rising the risk of a less-than-comprehensive plan rattling markets may be growing.

The S&P 500 has shot up more than 100 points in October, closing at 1,238 Friday, and to trader Seth Setrakian the move is akin to putting the cart before the horse. Setrakian, co-head of equities at proprietary trading firm First New York Securities, called the looming announcement of Europe’s big plan “a classic sell the news” and fully expects to be selling ahead Monday through Wednesday ahead of the second meeting even if the market rallies.

“The bar is set too high,” he believes, arguing that even if the market rallies on a deal being reached, the implementation of whatever resolution plan is adopted will be cumbersome and ultimately amount to “solving a problem of debt with more debt.” When the market realizes that, October’s 9.5% gain to date could unravel in a hurry.

The recent stage in the too-rapid rise to current levels is largely a result of short-covering and investors who missed the initial stage of the recovery jumping on board. The shame of it, Setrakian says, is that “America is not a bad place to invest” without the overhang of a potential dislocation stemming from Europe.

Even if the U.S. economy grows at a meager pace, or even contracts slightly, the profitability of corporate America and the ultra-low level of interest rates make for a constructive equity environment absent the risk of a European meltdown.

Setrakian points to the start to earnings season, which has been OK. Companies trading near 52-week highs coming into the season have been hurt by misses – like Apple, which fell short of consensus by a quarter – but those that were closer to 52-week lows – Travelers for example– have been rewarded even without eye-popping results. Then you have the McDonald’s’ of the world, which come into earnings near their highs of the year then post a big number to extend the gains. (See “Earnings Season: Solid Start Despite Whiffs From Apple, Goldman.”)

Looking ahead to next week, Setrakian says he is keeping an eye on industrials, which in some cases have been priced for recession.

A company like Caterpillar for instance, due to report Monday, could come under pressure if the broader market sells off, but the assumptions built in for earnings are not high and at Friday’s $87.39 close the stock is closer to its 52-week low of $67.54 than the high of $116.55.

Above all hangs Europe though, and even if the policy that Germany’s Angela Merkel and France’s Nicolas Sarkozy come up with sounds good on its surface, “the market will test it very quickly,” Setrakian says. “If they drop the ball – and I think they fumble – the market could pull back 7-8%” What then? Well by then there may be a whole new complicating factor: the U.S. deficit reduction Supercommitttee, which is on the clock to have its plan ready by Nov. 23.’

SPX Update: Don't Get Suckered by the Head-Fake Breakout

 

6 Reasons a Global Recession is Unavoidable ETFguide.com Ron DeLegge, Editor October 5, 2011 ‘Most economists and Wall Street types are reluctant to publicly admit the global economy is in a recession. Their reams of conflicting data are sending mixed messages. But an honest look at key events and the behavior of financial markets solidifies the view that the global recession we're probably already in, is unavoidable. Let’s analyze some of the reasons behind this.


1) The Fed is out of tricks. When it comes to manipulating financial markets in the name of economic security, nobody matches the Federal Reserve’s prowess. Over the past few years, the Fed has engaged in financial gimmickry of such epic proportions that angry calls for ending its existence have been voiced from sea to shining sea. The Fed’s Treasury purchases (POMO) and monetization of debt (quantitative easing), may have delayed the reckoning day, but have these programs really solved America’s long-term problems? The Fed’s latest shift from short-term to long-term debt (Operation Twist) is tantamount to taking money from your right hand pocket and putting it into your shirt pocket. The Fed is running out of time and out of tricks. Ben Bernanke has finally admitted what the general public has known all along; the job situation is a “national crisis.”

2) Stock market says we’re already in a recession.The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and its leading economists still deny the U.S. economy is in a recession. Apparently, their slide rulers haven’t yet confirmed it, so they need a few more quarters before issuing a press release. Meanwhile, the stock market, which is a leading indicator of economic activity, is screaming “recession.” Large company stocks within the S&P 500 (NYSEArca: SPY) have fallen almost 18% since July. Bulls argue this is still shy of the 20% threshold that confirms a bear market, but even so, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MDY) and small caps (NYSEArca: IWM) have already entered bear territory. Today’s stock prices reflect expectations about future earnings, which in turn are connected to the future state of the economy. Expectations are rightfully low.

3) Greece has set the tone for Europe (and maybe the rest of the world).How many financial targets will Greece continue to miss before forecasters stop regurgitating its false numbers? When will Greece stop embarrassing itself with financial projections it knows aren’t true? Greece’s 2011 deficit was projected to be 8.5% of its GDP but came in almost €1.69 billion above its original targets. Next year, Greece is aiming for a deficit that’s 6.8% of GDP. With the country engulfed in civil protests, job strikes and general chaos – how realistic are its 2012 projections? Financial bets for Greece to succeed are a long-shot. The country’s economic projections are no longer based upon realistic assumptions, but hopes for garnering more bailout money and calming hostile markets. Ultimately, Greece is merely a reflection of the entire EU region – a place where financial aspirations don’t match reality.

4) Bear funds are leading performers.The two-year period from March 2009 to March 2011 was a difficult existence for bear market funds. After bottoming at decade lows, the stock market skyrocketed and bear funds got clobbered.  But not anymore. Bear funds are investments that, by design, increase in value when the underlying benchmarks they track decline. Now with the stock market swooning, bear funds are posting huge gains. Over the past three months, Direxion’s 3x daily leveraged bear ETFs for large cap stocks (NYSEArca: BGZ) is ahead by 42.97%, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MWN) is up 58.30% and small caps (NYSEArca: TZA) is up by 49.76%. Reversing this ominous trend, especially when key technical levels have been pierced, won’t be easy.

5) Major asset classes are in correlation.During a bear market, the correlation between asset classes typically jumps and this is exactly the case right now. Over the past few months, commodities (NYSEArca: GCC), global real estate stocks (NYSEArca: RWO), precious metals (NYSEArca: GLTR), international stocks (NYSEArca: EFA), and U.S. stocks (NYSEArca: SCHB) have all moved in the same general direction by recording sizable losses. Even gold (NYSEArca: IAU) and silver (NYSEArca: SLV), which previously escaped the wrath of losses, have joined the party. And only cash and bonds (NYSEArca: AGG) are bucking the correlation trend. 

6) Pace of sovereign downgrades is accelerating.We don’t advocate putting implicit faith in credit ratings, because history has taught us they are nothing more than financial opinions and frequently, not very accurate ones. Still, a gander at the latest downgrading trend is troublesome. Intuitive observers will note, this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a global trend. Sovereign debt from Greece and Portugal, after several downgrades, is now rated junk. Ireland has been downgraded and Italy was just downgraded by Moody's to A2 with a negative outlook. Japan, along with U.S. debt was lowered in August and another wave of more downgrades is coming, so get used to it. 

Conclusion
Investing in an economically stifled climate requires patience, diligence, and forethought. Following the herd mentality guarantees nothing more than mediocrity and making kneejerk financial decisions is an excellent way to lose money. ETFguide’s Profit Strategy ETF Newsletter continues to advocate a fiercely independent view of world events, financial markets, and the proper allocation of money. Ultimately, having an investment strategy that can perform during any kind of market is a good start. ‘

Four Facts that PROVE the EFSF Doesn’t Matter… At All  Phoenix Capital 10/20/2011Four Facts that PROVE the EFSF Doesn’t Matter… At All  [ The Reality, infra  ‘.. And those investors who get suckered into betting this mess will work out well are very likely going to lose everything. The impact of the fallout from this will make 2008 look like a joke. The EU is the largest economy in the world. So if its banking system collapses (and it will) we’re facing a full-scale Global financial meltdown (the IMF has even warned of this)…’ ]‘It’s time to settle the debate regarding Europe’s banking system. I know that the mainstream media keeps talking about another round of bailouts or an expansion to the Emergency Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) as though these things matter.But the reality is… they don’t. Europe’s problems go WAY beyond Greece’s debt. And the entire European banking system is primed for a systemic collapse.

Consider the following four facts:

FACT #1: Europe’s entire banking system is leveraged at 25 to 1.

This is nearly two times the US’s leverage levels. With this amount of leverage you only need a 4% drop in asset prices to wipe out ALL equity. These are literally borderline-Lehman levels of leverage (Lehman was 30 to 1).Mind you, these leverage levels are based on asset values the banks claim are accurate. Real leverage levels are in fact likely much MUCH higher.

 KA-BOOM.

FACT #2: European Financial Corporations are collectively sitting on debt equal to 148% of TOTAL EU GDP.

Yes, financial firms’ debt levels in Europe exceed Europe’s ENTIRE GDP. These are just the financial firms. We’re not even bothering to mention non-financial corporate debt, household debt, sovereign debt, etc.Also remember, collectively, the EU is the largest economy in the world (north of $16 trillion). So we’re talking about over $23 TRILLION in debt sitting on European financials’ balance sheets.Oh, I almost forgot, this data point only includes “on balance sheet” debt. We’re totally ignoring off-balance sheet debt, derivatives, etc. So REAL financial corporate debt is much MUCH higher. 

KA-BOOM.

FACT #3: European banks need to roll over between 15% and 50% of their total debt by the end of 2012.

That’s correct, European banks will have to roll over HUGE quantities of their debt before the end of 2012. Mind you, we’re only talking about maturing debt. We’re not even considering NEW debt or equity these banks will have to issue to raise capital.

Considering that even the “rock solid” German banks need to raise over $140 BILLION in new capital alone, we’re talking about a TON of debt issuance coming out of Europe’s banks in the next 14 months.

And this is happening in an environment prone to riots, bank runs, and failed bond auctions (Germany just had a failed bond auction yesterday).

 KA-BOOM

 FACT #4: In order to meet current unfunded liabilities (pensions, healthcare, etc) without defaulting or cutting benefits, the average EU nation would need to have OVER 400% of its current GDP sitting in a bank account collecting interest.

This last data point comes from Jagadeesh Gokhale, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, former consultant to the US Treasury, and former Senior Economic Advisor to the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

This is a guy who’s worked at a very high level on the inside studying sovereign finance, which makes this fact all the more disturbing. And he knew this as far back as January 2009!!!

Folks, the EFSF, the bailouts, China coming to the rescue… all of that stuff is 100% pointless in the grand scheme of things. Europe’s ENTIRE banking system (with few exceptions) is insolvent. Numerous entire European COUNTRIES are insolvent. Even the more “rock solid” countries such as Germany (who is supposed to save Europe apparently) have REAL Debt to GDP ratios of over 200% and STILL HAVEN’T RECAPITALIZED THEIR BANKS.

Again, it DOES NOT matter what Sarkozy and Merkel say. It doesn’t matter how much leverage the EFSF gets. Europe is broke. End of story. And those investors who get suckered into betting this mess will work out well are very likely going to lose everything. The impact of the fallout from this will make 2008 look like a joke. The EU is the largest economy in the world. So if its banking system collapses (and it will) we’re facing a full-scale Global financial meltdown (the IMF has even warned of this). That’s the reality of the situation we’re in today. I know nobody likes to publicly admit it. But it’s true.What happened in 2008 was literally just the warm up. The REAL DEAL is coming in the next 14 months. And it’s going to involve corporate, financial, and sovereign defaults.On that note, if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, my Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.

  The Next Lehman: Bank of America is on the verge of a collapse. Each minute that ticks by brings it closer to becoming the Lehman Brothers event of this Crash. How do we know? Its financials are horrifying and it's been hit with a $31 billion dollar lawsuit. It's in worse shape than it was in 2008 - when it just barely survived.

  Europe Is Collapsing: Most every European stock market is gasping for life right now. European banks are in free fall. Germany is facing internal revolt and won't even be able (or willing) to back up any bailouts. And Greece has entered the final stages for its financial system -- the markets are pricing in a near 100% certainty of Greek debt default. This will ultimately kill Europe as we know it today.

  The US Debt Catastrophe: We just blew out our debt ceiling again. Yes, just after the last desperate extension was passed (and the US credit rating was downgraded to great fanfare). And the US economy remains a disaster with more and more Americans losing jobs and then falling off the unemployment numbers. No jobs = no recovery in sight. Our leaders have no plan but to pass more and more intrusive, ineffective legislation.

  The Myth of the Market Saviour: QE 3 won't solve this mess no matter how cleverly it's disguised (or trumpeted from the rooftops). The Fed spent $900 billion and nearly one year to prop up the markets -- and we've wiped out all those gains in just one summer month. As for China, how did their support of the Euro go earlier this year? Or the recent multiple central bank intervention to prop up the global markets? They're all clueless about plugging the growing leaks on a very large Titanic.

 

To be blunt, the financial system is in greater danger of systemic collapse than at any point in history (including 2008). Do not be fooled by the recent rally we've just seen. Things are not okay! We saw rallies of 8%, 11% and even 17% during 2008. Investors who bought into them got taken to the cleaners…’

Can “It” Happen Here? Oct 17th, 2011 News By John Mauldin15-Oct (JohnMauldin.com) — I was inspired for this week’s letter by a piece by Art Cashin (whom I will get to have dinner with Monday). His daily letter always begins with an anecdote from history. Yesterday it was about Weimar, told in his own inimitable style. So without any edits, class will commence, with Professor Cashin at the chalk board.[Cashin's recounting of the nightmare German inflation, which we posted last week.]…”We know that the world is drowning in too much debt, and it is unlikely that households and governments everywhere will be able to pay down that debt. Doing so in some cases is impossible, and in other cases it will condemn people to many hard years of labor in order to be debt-free. Inflation, by comparison, appears to be the easy way out for many policy makers.“Companies and households typically deal with excessive debt by defaulting; countries overwhelmingly usually deal with excessive debt by inflating it away.…But now even serious economists are recommending inflation as a solution. Given the powerful deflationary forces in the world, inflation will stay low in the near term. This gives some comfort to mainstream economists who think we can create inflation to solve the debt problem in the short run.[source]PG View: Another great and comprehensive piece by Mauldin on the threat of hyperinflation. Even though Mauldin believes that an independent Fed, mandated to keep inflation in check, will prevent the unthinkable…what if he’s wrong? He cites an “ill-conceived” proposal by Financial Services Committee ranking member Barney Frank that could severely impede the Fed’s independence as a reason for concern. But even if Mauldin is correct, and inflation of the magnitude needed to meaningfully reduce our oppressive debt burden is never unleashed, it means that that very debt burden is going to be an interminable head-wind to economic growth and job creation. We are truly caught between Scylla and Charybdis.

ECRI Recession Watch: Growth Index Declines Further  http://www.bullseyemicrocaps.com/?p=11699  By Doug Short: The Weekly Leading Index (WLI) growth indicator of the Economic Cycle Research Institute (ECRI) has posted 10 consecutive declines since early August. The interim high of 8.0 was set in the week ending on April 15. The latest reading, data through October 7, is -9.6, down from the previous week’s -8.7.

On September 30th, the ECRI publicly announced that the U.S. is tipping into a recession, a call the Institute had announced to its private clients on September 21st.

Early last week, ECRI notified clients that the U.S. economy is indeed tipping into a new recession. And there’s nothing that policy makers can do to head it off.

US to Experience Stagflation Worse Than 1970s: Jim Rogers CNBC | The U.S. economy is likely to experience a period of stagflation worse than the 1970s.

 

Jeff Applegate: Not Sheepish About Turning Bearish  The Wall Street Journal  Jonathan Cheng ‘Last week was a tough time to turn bearish. Since hitting a bottom on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has jumped by 11% in less than two weeks, raising hopes among some investors that the U.S. and Europe may be able to power through their summertime woes.

Not for Jeff Applegate.

Mr. Applegate, the 61-year-old chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, last week made his biggest bearish shift in more than two years, battening down the hatches and reducing his exposure to stocks, high-yield bonds, commodities and real-estate investment trusts.

Mr. Applegate argues that the world is heading into recession, hurt by political paralysis that has added uncertainty while withholding stimulus at a time of weakness. And the past few days’ rally, fueled by progress on a European bailout and an encouraging U.S. jobs number, has done little to change his mind.

“We’re seeing a relief rally in global equities in recent days, but at the end of the day, we think if Europe is heading into recession — which I think they are — and if the U.S. is heading into recession — which I think we are — then there’s more downside in equities,” Mr. Applegate said.

After a strong start to the year, U.S. stocks wavered in the summer as Europe’s debt crisis intensified. Stocks tumbled further in August as the worries spread to the U.S. economy, sending the Dow to a one-year low last week. But as the economic data showed tepid signs of improvement, a number of investors and traders have begun to argue that the stock-market may have turned a corner.

Mr. Applegate said the Global Investment Committee he runs at MSSB, which meets as many as 20 times a week but makes only very infrequent changes to its positioning, didn’t come to the conclusion lightly.

Two and a half years ago, Mr. Applegate began shifting to a more aggressive position, benefiting from the major U.S. stock indexes’ 70% increase off its the March 2009 trough. While he says there was “no single event” that tipped the balance this time around, Mr. Applegate’s pessimism is based on well-known concerns: the ongoing debt crisis in Europe, fears of a “double dip” recession in the U.S. and concerns about central bankers’ ability to support the wavering global economy.

“The policy action being taken, both in Europe and the U.S., is too little, too late,” he says.

Mr. Applegate doesn’t rule out a comprehensive plan to prevent a European banking crisis, but he worries that Europe’s economy may nonetheless falter — particularly as the European Central Bank holds interest rates steady after several increases earlier this year.

“Europe will avoid a Greek default, but what we ware saying is that they’re heading into recession anyway,” he said. “The European economy wasn’t exactly robust to begin with, and it’s hard to see how it’s going to get better.”

To be sure, Mr. Applegate concedes that the economic picture could gradually improve, “in which case our call is going to be incorrect.”

“We’re sifting through the evidence all the time, so if it looks like we’ve got it wrong, we’ll need to change our course,” he said.

Mr. Applegate says he isn’t bothered by the market’s recent 11% run-up.

“We have always said that we never try to time the market, and we don’t,” he said, adding that his committee is flexible enough to reverse course — or even turn more bearish if economic conditions deteriorate more than he fears. “We could still get more defensive,” he said.’

 

 

 

Double-Dip Recession a Foregone Conclusion: Roubini Oct 11th, 2011 News (CNBC) — The world’s advanced economies are headed for a second recession, regardless of whether there is further chaos in Europe, Nouriel Roubini told CNBC on Tuesday. The economist who correctly predicted the 2008 financial crisis, but has got some other bearish calls wrong, said his reading of recent data suggested the U.S., euro zone and the UK are already on the verge of falling into a recession in the next quarter or two.“The question is not whether or if there is going to be a double dip, but whether it’s going to be mild or severe with another financial crisis,” Roubini told CNBC on the sidelines of the World Knowledge Forum in Seoul. “The answer on that depends on the euro zone.”According to Roubini, a disorderly situation in Europe caused by a sovereign debt default, a banking crisis or an exit of one of the members from the euro zone, would be a shock more severe than the collapse of Lehman Brothers. He added that Europe had to get its act together and “do the right thing” by the G20 meeting in Cannes in the first week of November.[source]

 

The REAL $200 TRILLION Problem Bernanke’s Worried About   Phoenix Capital... : 10/12/2011 – ‘US Commercial banks have $200 TRILLION in interest rate based derivatives sitting on their balance sheets. And guess which banks have the greatest exposure?

I’ve stated before that Bernanke isn’t interested in interest rates for employment of economic purposes. We now have definitive proof this is the case.

 http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user20289/imageroot/2011/09/sc-4_0.png

 As you can see, interest rates have actually RISEN after the announcement of QE lite, QE 2 AND Operations Twist #2.The evidence is clear, QE has not lowered interest rates. Indeed, the only time rates FELL in the last two years was when the Fed WASN’T engaged in QE (May 2010-August 2010 and June 2011-September 2011).So what gives? Does the Federal Reserve not have a stockcharts account? Don’t tell me that with the TRILLIONS spent bailing out banks the Fed can’t afford to print a couple hundred bucks to see Treasury yields. Heck, there are plenty of FREE sources for Treasury charts.Jokes aside, it’s clear the Fed is engaged in QE for another reason or reasons. I believe they are:

#1) To absorb the insane debt issuance to permit the US’s massive deficit.

#2) To keep the interest rate based derivative market in check.

Regarding #1, it’s no surprise that the US has been running a deficit that would make Greece proud. Indeed, the primary strategy of the powers that be since the Great Crisis began in 2008 was to attempt to make up for the sharp downturn in the private sector by spending obscene amounts of money.The Fed played a big part in this.  Indeed, since QE 1 was announced the Fed has bought over $1.2 TRILLION in Treasuries. The Fed claims it isn’t funding the deficit directly. That’s only partially correct. The Fed is supposedly buying old Treasuries from the banks. However, the definition of “old” can mean one or two weeks.Tell me with a straight face that isn’t somehow buying new Treasuries.As for the derivatives situation or #2 in my list above, 82% of the $244 TRILLION in derivatives sitting on US commercial bank balance sheets are based on interest rates. Put another way…US Commercial banks have $200 TRILLION in interest rate based derivatives sitting on their balance sheets. And guess which banks have the greatest exposure?

Looks a lot like the list of the VERY banks the Fed has been giving the most money/ preferential treatment to. Coincidence? Nope. This is the $200 TRILLION problem Bernanke’s so worried about. It’s THE reason he keeps funneling money to the TBTFs.And he WILL lose control of it, just as he did in 2008.Consider that Financial leverage levels today are higher than during the Tech Bubble. Only this time, the problem will be far FAR worse.Why?Because 2008 was caused by the Credit Default Swap (CDS) market which was $50-60 trillion at the time. As I stated before, the interest-rate based derivative problem is $200 TRILLION in size.Even if only 4% of this is “at risk” and 10% of that “at risk” money blows up, you’ve STILL pretty much wiped out the equity at the TBTFs.You think Bernanke might be worried?On that note, if you have yet to prepare yourself for what’s coming, now is the time to do so. Whether it’s by moving to cash and bullion, opening some shorts, or simply getting out of the markets altogether, now is the time to be preparing for what’s coming (remember, stocks took six months to bottom after Lehman… and that was when the Fed still had some bullets left to combat the collapse).And if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, my Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.Within its nine pages I explain precisely how the Second Round of the Crisis will unfold, where it will hit hardest, and the best means of profiting from it (the very investments my clients used to make triple digit returns in 2008).Best of all, this report is 100% FREE.

Europe eyes bigger Greek losses for banks

 

Markets Are Dealing With a Foreboding Financial Backdrop  Minyanville   Lee Adler Oct 12, 2011 ‘Tracking the Fed, Treasury, primary dealers, foreign central banks, money supply, and other key elements of US market liquidity to undertsand how markets are operating.

Two weeks ago I began to report that foreign central banks (FCBs) had begun to engage in unprecedented levels of disgorgement of their massive holdings of US Treasury and Agency paper. Prior to this year, the FCBs had typically absorbed the equivalent of 25% of new US Treasury issuance month in and month out. That was effectively a subsidy of US financial markets. It lowered long-term interest rates artificially and injected cash into the US markets and banking system.

Then about a year ago the FCBs began to slack off in their buying. In reality, that is what necessitated the Fed's program of Quantitative Easing. The Fed had to step in and fill the demand gap left by the FCBs gradually reducing their rate of purchases. Had the Fed not acted when it did, long-term Treasury yields would have started to rise and along with them mortgage rates and other long-term rates, something that the US economy and the US government simply could not afford.

When the negative unintended consequences of the Fed's QE money printing, primarily skyrocketing commodity prices, exploded in Ben Bernanke's face, he was forced to discontinue the program and allow the Treasury market to fend for itself. The Fed had convinced itself through its self-congratulatory in-house research, that there would be more than enough demand for Treasuries for the market to stand on its own without the Fed propping it up.

Ironically, the US bond market was rescued by the European sovereign debt and bank meltdown, so it appeared for a while that Dr. Bernanke might be right and his monster experiment would come to life on its own. The European panic triggered massive capital flight that ended up (where else?) flooding into the US, mostly into purchases of Treasuries. Not only could the monster walk on its own, it could actually fly! Once again the Treasury market benefited from an unusual subsidy, this one driven by fear. Bond prices flew into the stratosphere with yields sinking to record lows.

About six weeks ago, something changed. FCBs not only slowed their buying of Treasuries, they stopped altogether, reversed course and actually began selling them. Three weeks ago their selling reached a level that I characterized as "dumping." It was simply unprecedented. I opined that this could be the beginning of the end of the Treasury bull market, in spite of any effect that the Fed's new Operation Twist might have.

In fact, I expected that effect to be nil, and it has been. If anything, the announcement of Operation Twist, where the Fed offered to buy long-term Treasuries from the Primary Dealers while simultaneously selling them short-term paper, rang a bell for some investors. The Fed's announcement told them that the time had come to sell their long-term paper. If the Fed was buying, they decided that they would be glad to sell. Today, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.16%. That's up an astonishing 44 basis points since last Thursday's open.

Every other day, the Treasuries open on a huge gap. They are trading more like pork bellies than stodgy government bonds. Worst of all, the yield on the 10-year is up approximately 45 basis points since the low in yield reached the day after the Fed announced Operation Twist. Bernanke has egg all over his face. The man simply does not understand financial markets. And this move does not look like a fluke. As a result of today's market, the yield on the 10-year has broken out of an intermediate-term base. Unless yields pull back immediately, the implication is that the intermediate term target is 2.50. Meanwhile, Bernanke had assured investors that long-term yields would fall as a result of his doing the Twist.

Apparently, the FCBs were among those who took the Fed's announcement as a sell signal. They are selling at the heaviest pace in the nine years that I have been tracking this data. Normally, prior to the last five weeks, the instances when they were actually net sellers were few and far between. What has been going on here lately is no less than a sea change.

Making matters worse is that the Primary Dealers have also become massive sellers of Treasuries and all manner of fixed income paper in recent weeks. This data is released with a 10-day lag, so I only have data through September 28, but given the market action this week, this trend is certainly continuing.

The dealers appear to be in trouble. They began selling off their fixed income paper of all types in early September. That accelerated to what I can only characterize as wholesale dumping in the weeks ended September 21 and 28. It is no coincidence that those where the weeks where we began to see yields reverse from their record run.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/October11/12/la10121.JPG

 
These are troubling developments, not just for their implications for the bond market, but for what they imply about the health of the backbone of the US financial system -- the Fed's Primary Dealer (PD) network. If the Fed is the head, these guys are the spinal cord. Focusing on just their corporate bond holdings the picture becomes even more troubling. If major corporations are supposedly doing so well and their balance sheets are in such great shape, why did the PDs not accumulate their fixed income securities throughout the equities bull market of 2009 and 2010? And especially, why have they been frantically dumping their corporate holdings since June?

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/October11/12/la10122.JPG

Something is rotten here. These are signs of major systemic stress.

It's been a while since both stocks and bonds have rallied together. In recent months stocks could only rally when bonds sold off, which was rare. For the most part bonds were rallying and stocks were selling off. There just has not been sufficient systemic liquidity to keep levitating both markets simultaneously. It was either one or the other. But even the days where the stock market rallies, when bonds sell off and yields rise, may be coming to an end, and the day where both stock and bond prices fall and yields rise together, may be at hand.

These are just a couple of the factors that I track in my weekly reports covering the Fed, Treasury, Primary Dealers, foreign central banks, money supply, US commercial banking system conditions, fund flows and other key elements of US market liquidity. The fabric of the US financial markets is intertwined and complex. I track what I believe, from my years of observation, are the most important threads in that fabric, to try and gain an understanding of the context in which the markets are operating. That context is important to the technical analysis side of my work, where knowing the liquidity picture can help in understanding the patterns unfolding on the charts of the markets themselves. There are always loose ends, but more often than not, even with loose ends most of the threads tie together into a neat tapestry with a story that is clear. This may be one of those times, and it's not a happy picture.

The Structural Challenges Facing Muni Bonds  Minyanville

HFT algos are programmed to pounce on these presumed fixes and have been active in driving stock prices higher this past week.

There's A Recession Coming According To The Data at Forbes  The stock market peaked in April, and is behaving in the saame fashion it did in late 2007, when big troubles from real estate writedowns were spreading through the financial sector.

The most worrisome statistic this week was the Empire State Manufacturing indedx– wehich was down from a minus 3.76 to a minus 7.7– a leading indicator of recession in the past. The new industrial orders index from New York remained well below zero at minus 7.8.

The Federal Reserve Board has promised to keep interest rates at zero until 2013– an admission that the economy is not expected to rebound for two years– until the next President is in the White House. This policy step indicates the Fed does not believe the economy will recover either this year or next year. Never before has the centreal bank made such a policy declaration for as long a period as two years.

There were 1300 new lows in the market on August 8th– another phenomenon that hasd not taken place since the great stagnation was triggered in 2008. Even though the market indexes made up all their lost ground, it appewars that investors are willing to delude themselves that  corporate profits will reemain at very high levels despite the period of austerity we are clearly entering.

The austerity required in Europe to deal with the sovereign debt crisis is likely to push Europe into a recession. This will impact US corporations dependent on important profits from Europe.

The corporate return on revenues has risen the past two years to a peak of 14%– an unusually high level of profits– that is not expected to continue.

Consumer savings are rising as household debt gets paid back. But, we are a long way from safety levels of savings in a high unemployment period. And the higherb the saavings rise so the lower the level of consumption will be.

Housing numbers were down 1.5% last month underscoring that the turnaround in housing is not close at hand.’

 

 

Market's Swoon Should Be Your Wake Up Call

 

 

Watch Out: 2011 Looks A Lot Like The Market Top In 2007 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.’

 

 

 

SEC may have destroyed documents, senator says 17 Aug 2011 ‘The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement case ...   Grassley: Agency may have got rid of Goldman, Madoff documents   Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. “From what I’ve seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agency’s chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law.” Agency staff “destroyed over 9,000 files” related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past year’s work. Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.33%   trading in American International Group credit-default swaps in 2009. Flynn also alleged that the agency destroyed documents and information collected for preliminary investigations at Wells Fargo & Co. WFC +1.34% , Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.81% , Citigroup C +0.13%  , Credit Suisse CS +0.38%  , Deutsche Bank DB +0.79%  Morgan Stanley MS -0.06%  and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers. The letter goes into particular detail about Deutsche Bank, the former employer of current SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami as well as former enforcement chiefs Gary Lynch and Richard Walker…’

Who’s Worse: U.S. Banks or Bernie Madoff? - Stacy Curtin

 



 


WHY NEW LOWS ARE LIKELY   Simon Maierhofer, August 18, 2011  Last Sunday's (August 14) ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update listed 5 reasons why new lows are likely. Here they are:

HISTORIC REVERSAL

We've been expecting a major market top in the S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones Industrials (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC). The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update identified the ideal target range for a major top to be 1,369 - 1,382. The chart below was featured in the same update.

It outlines a top around 1,370 followed by an initial decline to about 1,230 (happened in June), followed by a rally (happened in July), followed by a steep decline.

DEATH CROSS

The death cross is one of the most talked about technical events, that's why I don't put too much stock in it. However, there are two interesting facts about previous death crosses.

The 2000 and 2007 death cross occurred about three days before the S&P embarked on its next leg down. The 2010 death cross was actually a buy signal. However, it occurred after the S&P and DJIA bounced off a multi-year trend line. This time the trend line was broken so a more bearish interpretation of the death cross is appropriate.

                               https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg  

SEASONALITY

August, September, and October is the most bearish stretch of the year. September and October sport negative performance even in the pre-election year.

SENTIMENT

From S&P 1,370 on May 2 to S&P 1,258 on June 16, the S&P shed 112 points and sentiment measured by Investors Intelligence (II) and the American Association for Individual Investors (AAII) turned deeply bearish (only 37% II bulls). The June 16 ETF Profit Strategy update took that as a queue to buy (long positions were closed at S&P 1,340).

From S&P 1,353 on July 7 to S&P 1,102 on August 9 the S&P lost 251 points, yet the II sentiment poll registered the second most bullish reading since the first week of May (47.3% II bulls). AAII and II polls are often considered the 'dumb money.' If the 'dumb money' views last Wednesday's low as a buying opportunity, the 'smart money' should be suspicious.

VIX PATTERN

If you have the charting capabilities, take a moment and plot the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) against the S&P for the months of September - November 2008 and April - July 2010. If you don't have the time you may simply look at the chart below.

What we've seen in 2008 and 2010 is that a VIX peak did not coincide with the S&P bottom. The S&P bottom actually occurred against a lower VIX reading. If this pattern continues, we will see lower lows.

The August 14 ETF Profit Strategy update includes a detailed analysis of the VIX pattern.

THE SCRIPT

Via more or less accidental chart surfing I found a striking resemblance between the 2007 market top and the May 2011 top.  This moved me to state in the July 17 Profit Strategy update that:

'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.' The S&P sliced through that trend line on August 4 and fell an additional 12% within the next four days.

The August 7 Profit Strategy update revisited that script and concluded this: 'We now have a rough script; let's see how much lip the actors will add during the live performance (I.e. S&P downgrade). 

The two main things I have taken away from the 2007 script are:

1) There will be a new low.

2) There will be a powerful counter trend rally to around 1,xxx (reserved for subscribers).'

THE VERDICT

We got the new low and we got a rather powerful rally. Now the question is, how long will the low last and how high will stocks rally?

The script suggests there will be another low. The VIX pattern suggests there should be another price low. Seasonality suggests that there's some headwind on the way up. Sentiment readings suggest we should be suspicious of any rally. The death cross also suggests lower prices.

SUMMARY

There were a number of good reasons to expect new lows on Sunday. Yesterday's ETF Profit Strategy update recommended to go short as soon as the S&P breaks below 1,373. This happened within the first few minutes of trading today. Now it's time to let the script play out…’

Dow/Gold Ratio Lowest Since 1987 Crash   Forbes   Adrian AshToday’s gold buyers might still get to look early birds as this depression wears on… GROWTH or defense…stocks or gold? Intra-day noise aside in summer 2011, Mr.Market’s choice looks plain.

The Dow/Gold Ratio – a measure of the U.S. stock market’s valuation in ounces of gold – has sunk as equities have plunged but gold prices have jumped so far this summer.

Dropping through 6.0 ahead of Friday’s New York opening, the Dow/Gold Ratio hasn’t been this low since early 1989, back when world equity markets were recovering from the Great Crash of Black Monday 1987.

http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/files/DowGoldviii11.png

That slump itself had taken the Dow/Gold Ratio all the way down to 3.6, with gold prices rising to nearly $500 per ounce as the Wall Street index sank to 1776 points. Growth, of course, was only taking a pause in late 1987 – a quick breather before the real race to perfection of the late 1990s. Today, in contrast, the Dow/Gold Ratio could still go a lot further down. Or so says history.

Trading a little over its century-long average of 10.0 today, the ratio bottomed during the 1930s Great Depression at just below 2.0 ounces of gold for one Dow unit. At the nadir of the next global depression – the inflationary depression of the early 1980s – the Dow/Gold Ratio sank even lower, down to 1.0.

Whatever flavor of depression we’ve got at the start of this decade – and it is a depression, as Western jobs data continue to show and as the Dow/Gold yardstick will confirm if it goes much lower (keep an eye on the underperformance of gold mining equities, too) – a growing flow of private savings is choosing defense in gold bullion rather than choosing business-risk in listed stocks.

That choice might sound self-fulfilling if you work in psychiatry or government, a kind of “clinical disorder” open to curing with medication, zero interest rates or perhaps a third round of quantitative easing – most likely aimed at risk assets, we guess, rather than the “risk free” Treasury bonds targeted by QE1 and QE2 – and which institutional investors are all-too keen to hold anyway.

So far, however, investors choosing to buy gold only account for a tiny portion of the money fleeing equities.

From here to a true depression low in Dow/Gold (if such a level is reached), today’s gold buyers will need to find many more friends. They’d also look early-birds compared with the rush out of stocks – and into gold – needed to reach that 2.0 or 1.0 mark.’

 

The Great Stocks Vs. Gold Round Trip  Aug 19th, 2011 News (BusinessInsider) — ‘ When priced in gold stocks have now returned to where they were at the market’s low-point, back in 2009. Actually, we’re even worse now.  http://www.usagold.com/pete/newsviews/20110819GoldSPratio.jpg   PG View: In 1965 De Gaulle called for a return to an “indisputable monetary base,” one that “does not bear the mark of any particular country.” He of course was referring to gold. As was pointed out in a Forbes article early in the week on the 40th anniversary of President Nixon closing the gold window, over the last four thousand years, the only period in which humanity has not consistently based its currency in metal, specifically gold, is the last forty.” And look what that has wrought…’


Ignore Buffett's Advice, Don't Buy Stocks at Forbes Bert Dohmen [ Yeah … this is really good advice. As a shill for fraudulent wall street, they may have given him some ‘stellar performances and cash to boot’; but, the homespun bumpkin senile buffet’s analytical abilities, if ever really extant, have certainly passed the point of no return. You may recall how the clintons, with a mere $1,000 or so, were revealed as ‘commodities trading wizards’, but as written up in the Wall Street Journal ‘someone was giving them money’. In fairness, that they were singled out (was) is a bit arbitrary inasmuch as that’s going on all the time on wall street, and now with greater precision owing to greater computer programming capabilities, to everyone else’s detriment. Remember, in a manner of speaking, there are two sides to every trade, viz., winner and loser (in relative terms).] ‘The markets plunged going into August 8. On that day, the DJI closed with a loss of 629 points. My indicators signaled that a brief bounce would commence the next day. According to the charts, the first target for the S&P 500 was 1205. The target was hit exactly a few days later. That was followed by a renewed plunge.

I have been looking for a serious crisis to start in September. It appears that we have seen the prelude for that. The big smart money has been preparing for the past five months.You can see the “distribution pattern” on the charts since mid-February. The rush to the exits is now accelerating and the smart money has been selling short in large amounts.

The extreme bullish sentiment that prevailed until the latest plunge was first replaced by complacency, then by concern. However, the “fear” stage is still missing, except at hedge funds that were forced to sell because of margin calls. In fact, during the severe plunge in the first week of August, investment investors became even more bullish according to Investorsintelligence.com. That is not good for the markets.

The market negatives are increasing in numbers. The IPO window is now shut. There are signs that credit is once again vanishing. Loans are being called in, some companies appear to have difficulties rolling over their Commercial Paper, junk bonds yields are soaring, European banks may stop lending to each other, and the European crisis is spreading out across the globe. It’s my view that this will cause another credit crisis, just as in 2008.

What’s worse is that contrary to 2008, the big players learned to read the signs from their 2008 mistakes. They are now wide awake, although in the media, their minions still repeat the same bullish fairy tale. This means that this crisis could develop much faster than the last one. (Read my book, Financial Apocalypse, which is the 2008 roadmap, one which can be used very well for what is now happening.)

The words “possible recession” suddenly is being mentioned a lot in the media, although economists still strongly deny that possibility. Our rule is that the stronger their denials, the more certain and the deeper the recession will be. In fact, I declared in our May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter that the recession had started.

Morgan Stanley lowered its global GDP growth forecasts for 2012 from 4.5% to 3.8%. My forecast is for 1%-2% or less. It would be negative growth except for the fudged inflation numbers.

The European politicians are not any smarter than those in the U.S. Merkel and Sarkozy had a meeting in Paris and did nothing. That day I called the outcome “Disastrous” for the markets. It took the markets a day to digest the consequences and then the selling avalanche started. Many of the markets in Europe, led by the banks stocks, went into virtual free falls, losing from 4%-7% in one day. Such losses indicate an approaching crisis.

Now we see some of the well-known Wall Street figures appearing in the media, telling investors all the reasons why stocks are a good buy. One appeared with a long list of bullish factors. Well, that list didn’t prevent the global stock market from losing an incredible $6 trillion over the past several weeks. He did the same cheerleading on national TV in 2007 before investors lost 50% of their wealth.

Warren Buffett is also once again the cheerleader saying he is buying stocks. He did that in 2007-2008 as well, and then the meltdown started later in 2008.

I would not fall for this self-serving advice. Words cannot rescind a recession that we already have, it cannot stop the insolvency of entire countries in Europe, it can’t change the fact that major profit downgrades will appear soon, and it can’t stop the China crisis that is now starting.

Gold is soaring, but the mining stocks look terribly weak. There is great danger now with the gold stocks getting hit hard by less developed countries, including South Africa, to nationalize gold mines. This is too lucrative for them to resist.

I would get out of all money market funds unless they are “U.S. government only.”  The MMFs have big exposure to European banks. We believe that lending between banks in Europe may seize, which means that the whole structure will start shaking. You will start hearing the word “contagion.”

In my opinion, the danger period is approaching. What we have seen until now is just a “preview.” The main feature is likely to be worse.

The "Crimes" That Wrecked The Markets  Forbes / Robert Lenzner ‘CNN’s anchor in London, Richard Quest, raised the issue squarely today about trying to explain the “crimes” that have created this failure to recover from the 2008 recession and the fear of another  downturn in the economy that could wipe out many of the gains we have achieved. Quest, of course, did not mean felonies or violations of the law that would land people in prison. I think he meant crimes of bad policy, crimes of financial illiteracy, crimes of stupidity, crimes of poor leadership.

So, here’s my attempt to sum up my answer to Quest.

The powers-that-be saved  the Masters of the Universe on Wall Street by using trillions of loans, investments and guarantees that sent the signal that Finance was the nation’s Number One Priority.  This historic gift to finance meant that the growing disparity between the super-rich and the middle class would continue to widen, without anyone of our top policy gurus suggesting it was splitting our nation. Some academics even worry about the “crime” of pushing the middle class into poverty.

Nevertheless, there was no bold strategy left to help those out of work. It was a “crime” that the stimulus program did nothing to create any jobs in the private sector. Obama’s economic adviser in 2009 , Larry Summers, was dead set against a make-work program to put the nation’s skilled construction workers busy on repairing  the rusting infrastructure he finds distasteful at airports and railroad stations. Now, we are going to be given the sop of an infrastructure bank that couldn’t possibly be in place for years, if ever.

No question the handling  of the debt limit debacle was  “crime” of poor planning, no overall shred strategy and trying to effect a master plan for $4  trillion cuts with only days to go before the August 2nd deadline. Keystone Cops,  whatever you wish to call it caused a loss of confidence in the nation’s politicians; a kind of virtual “crime” on the public who deserved better. Much better. This entire episode removed the foundations to rational expectations for the stock market– and threw the nation into a madhouse of volatility and confusion.

I don’t know what to call the lapse in the markets faith in paper money– and the more-or-less steady rise in the price of gold from $850 an ounce 3 years ago to well over $1800 today.  There is no other stock, bond or commodity you could have purchased that had this magnificent performance. Well, maybe the shares of Apple, and some global commodity producers.

Moreover, it was a “crime” to do nothing about the obscene bonuses taken by the Masters of the Universe– who only were able to pay themselves in this way because of the federal bailout. No one has tried to  get back the fortunes taken away by Lehman’s Richard Fuld,  Countrywide Credit’s Angelo Mozillo–or either of the Merrill Lynch CEOs, who helped destroy their iconic firm. Now there’s a “crime.”

Then, there’s the  SEC’s unwillingness to reinstitute the uptick on short sales of stock– so that hedge funds and other speculators could not trigger sharp sell-offs in the stock market If you had this “uptick” rule back, every short seller would have to wait for a transaction at a higher price to  sell short– rather than the libertarian “crime” that allows them to pound a stock lower to make sure-thing profits. It’s a crime short sellers are able to shoot ducks in a barrel. Shocking lack of fairness. No wonder Aunt Sadie is fleeing.

No doubt there were “crimes” committed in the week of volatility, with gyrations that scared the public. These movements up and down were caused by the high frequency trading by computers owned by hedge funds– who are not investors– but in-and-out traders several times a day and who have no regard for fundamental values.  These Masters Of  The Universe have the ultimate power in American society because of their political contributions and lobbying.

I believe Obama’s health plan to be a “crime” because it was a sellout to the 5 giant health insurance firms that were given 4 years clear and free to raise their premiums without interference. It was a “crime” because Obama was told by leading Senators it was a terrible sellout of the citizenry.

I don’t know what to call the bankruptcy of fiscal and monetary policy.  In some existential sense it is a “crime” that we have run out of  fiscal and monetary ammunition to turn this  collapsing shock treatment around. It is a “crime that 300 million people will be looking for Ben Bernanke, Fed Chairman, to pull a rabbit out of a hat in Jackson, Wyoming next week, when central bankers are meeting.  QE2 came from last year’s meeting– but it created no jobs.

The same will be true after Labor Day when the much-ballyhooed Obama  speech on jobs is coming. I fear expectations are going to be terribly disappointed. Expect  rhetoric as in “We have always been a Triple A nation– and we always will be Triple A. ” That was a “ crime” of speaking mush, when 300 million people know better, and wanted to hear something meaningful. Not to have bold, kick-ass leadership at a time of crisis is a sad sort of a “crime.” 



Accounting Gimmics Resurface as Growth Flounders at TheStreet ‘-- Accounting gimmicks -- once the staple of the boom-boom stock market -- are on the rise as companies attempt to convince analysts and investors that they are profitable despite a sluggish economy, according to industry watchers. Accounting techniques of Groupon and Zynga were under the spotlight recently, with the Securities and Exchange Commission instructing both companies to adhere to more stricter and conventional accounting standards, causing them to amend their IPO offer documents.

The creative metrics in the IPO documents of recent social-media IPOs are reminiscent of the dot-com bubble when stocks were valued on metrics like "eyeballs", while fundamentals like revenues and profits were ignored.

 

Rebekah Smith, director of financial advisory services at accounting and consulting firm GBQ consulting, says accounting tricks and schemes are likely to start unraveling as we head into 2012 and the lag effect catches up. "The typical accounting fraud goes on for about 18 to 26 months before it is uncovered. The frauds that took place in 2009 are not going to surface until later in 2011 or into 2012."

 

Financial statement fraud like the kind that took place at Enron are rare. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that such manipulation accounts for only 4.8% of total fraud cases, although it causes the most financial damage, with the median loss being more than $4 million.

 

But accounting gimmicks that focus on non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures are rampant and they can be misleading.

Groupon, for instance, claimed that the marketing expenses incurred to acquire customers were "one-time investments" and hence they should be excluded from the calculations of operating income.

By that metric the company made an operating profit at $81.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, as opposed to an operating loss of $113.9 million under traditional accounting standards.

 

However, analysts were quick to point out the metric was absurd. "If you are going to capitalize acquisition costs, the onus is on you to show proof that acquired customers stay as customers (and actually buy products for many years)," Aswath Damodaran, Professor of Finance at Stern School of Business and a reputed author of textbooks on valuation, wrote in a blog post.

 

"With strong competition from other online coupon based companies (like LivingSocial), it is entirely possible that customers once acquired, are fickle and move on... If that is the case, the acquisition cost has a very short amortizable life and begins to look more like an operating expense," he wrote.

 

Zynga issued a restatement of its second quarter results saying it did not hew to accounting standards in the way it estimates how long people play its video games. That had the effect of understating revenues during the second quarter. While the impact of the Zynga's restatement itself was not substantial, it highlighted the murky accounting involved when it comes to new business models.  "There is a new market of publicly traded companies with business models that open more room for interpretation on how revenues and costs should be treated. We do see some aggressive accounting techniques" says Dan Mahoney, director of research at the Center for Financial Research and Analysis, a unit of MSCI that specializes in forensic accounting.

Smith of GBQ Consulting says there is a greater risk of financial statement manipulation at such new-age businesses. "We have a lot of new business models and people are still trying to understand how the finances of these companies work," she said. "Companies get to decide what to tell them[investors] on how their industry works. They decide what the metrics should be."

While in a traditional sector an astute analyst might call a company's bluff, it is harder when you don't have history as a guide. "We don't have a typical 10-year history. As a financial professional, you can't make a conclusion on what the financial metrics should look like," says Smith.

Mahoney at CFRA says companies with high valuations are also ripe for these sort of gimmicks, as they are under pressure to sustain valuations.

While in a traditional sector an astute analyst might call a company's bluff, it is harder when you don't have history as a guide. "We don't have a typical 10-year history. As a financial professional, you can't make a conclusion on what the financial metrics should look like," says Smith.

Netflix(NFLX) has been criticized in the past for its calculation of subscriber churn rate, which looks at the number of cancellations as a proportion of subscribers. Netflix's method has the effect of overstating the subscriber base, thus making the churn rate seem lower.

Analysts have over time learned to adjust for this inconsistency. And as it turns out, the movie rental firm has drastically limited the metrics it is willing to provide , saying that in 2012 it will no longer report churn, gross subscriber additions and subscriber acquisition costs.

Problem solved.

Stern's Damodaran says companies resort to these tricks because the market analysts simplistically assign multiples to a profit metric. All companies have to do is "make a change that affects earnings and you can change the valuation," he says. "Investors need to understand what Groupon's business model is, what their potential market is, who are they going up against."

Morgan Stanley Biggest Welfare Recipient as Federal Reserve Lent Banks $1.2 Trillion During Financial CrisisWall St. Cheat Sheet



Dow:Gold Ratio and the Secular Bear Market at Minyanville  Toby Connor Aug 23, 2011 ‘However low the risk, large potential trades are now in the stock market, not in playing chicken with the gold parabola.

 As I have been warning investors for many months, stocks have now entered stage III of the secular bear market. Gold, on the other hand, is now in the final parabolic phase of a 2.5 year C wave advance.

My best guess was that we would see a Dow:Gold ratio of between 5-6 before this C-wave ended. The ratio was at 5.71 as of today. I think we may still have a little further to go on the downside for stocks and a little further upside in gold. So it's entirely possible that we could see a Dow gold ratio of 1:5 before the trends reverse.

However low the risk, large potential trades are now in the stock market, not in playing chicken with the gold parabola.

Cyclically the stock market is now in the middle of the timing band for an intermediate bottom. Presumably a sharp bear market rally in stocks will trigger a regression to the mean, profit-taking event in the precious metals market (the D-wave).

D-waves almost always test, and sometimes marginally penetrate, the 200-day moving average. I've illustrated in the chart above a rough guess as to where I expect the countertrend rally in stocks and the D-wave correction in gold to retrace.

Keep in mind that the fundamentals for gold have not changed. A D-wave is simply a profit-taking event triggered by an unsustainable parabolic rally. It has nothing to do with fundamentals. Once the D-wave has run its course, gold will enter a sharp snapback rally (the A-wave), after which it should consolidate for the remainder of the bear market in stocks.

Stocks, on the other hand, after what should be a very convincing bear market rally, will roll over and continue down into a final four-year cycle low, probably in the late summer or early fall of 2012.

Depending on whether or not the Fed tries to fight the cleansing process, or Ben Bernanke tries to stop the bear market with another round of quantitative easing, stocks should either test or breach the March '09 lows.

Either way I expect that 2012 will go down as one of the worst years in human history. Certainly in the same category as 1932, if not worse …’

 

Is the Market Forecasting War?   { Kind of a ‘large dart board’ in terms of ‘educated guessing’ in light of the perma-war ‘bent’ of these perma-war ‘bent’ nations; viz., ie., u.s., israel, europe, etc.. }  [ If so, and if this writer’s correct, all nato’s and america’s misguided actions in the Mideast will be viewed as an attempt to weaken Arab nations for the benefit of war-mongering israel and will never be forgotten as such, to the substantial detriment of the dying so-called western alliance. ]



End Of Cycle Smelling Like Dow 3K, Gold 3K  Forbes /  Bill Bonner  Listen up, dear reader herein we announce an historic Daily Reckoning forecast.  Here’s your north star, your compass, your GPS to the future. Print it out. Paste it to your refrigerator:

About the turn of the century, two markets turned Gold turned up Stocks turned down These major trends will end Whence they meet

Our view is that the bear market began in January 2000. The feds fought it off with two huge extravaganzas of spending — the first beginning in 2001 the other after 2008.

Stimulus does wonders for stock prices but it no longer works for the economy that sustains them. For every dollar that the Fed has put to work to fight the crisis since 2008, for example, it has produced only 80 cents worth of GDP. It didn’t work.

Fighting a credit contraction with more credit is a losing proposition. Eventually, investors are bound to realize that stocks are headed down. Eventually the bear market will resume. And eventually it will come to an end.

But when? Our guess is that it will end when the Dow and the price of gold arrive at the same point — probably around $3,000. Whatever the number, you’ll be able to buy the entire group of Dow stocks for the price of one ounce of gold.

Of course, our view is a minority one. Warren Buffett doesn’t buy it. Most investors don’t buy it. We don’t even suggest that you buy it, dear reader. Just remember it. If it turns out as expected, we want to be able to say ‘We told you so.’

And if it doesn’t work out? Please have the grace to forget we mentioned it.

We would like to be able to predict the future, but we’ve never gotten the hang of it. We’re just guessing.

But since we’re just guessing, we don’t see why we should hold back.

We’re also guessing that…

…the weight of so much debt is depressing growth…and will soon depress stock prices too…

…that the economy is becoming zombified from too much government money…especially the military…

…that Mr. Market is ready for a long bear market anyhow; he’s tanned, rested, and ready to go to work

…that the US is following in Japan’s footsteps…towards a long period of on-again, off-again recession

…that the recession of ’08-’09 in the US never actually ended…

…and that stocks will go down over the next 5-10 years until they finally hit a real bottom.

Our guess is that gold goes down, shakes out the speculators and weak investors and then, perhaps a couple years from now, perhaps longer — begins its third and final phase.’

Arguments for Being in the Crash Camp   Conor Sen  Aug 29, 2011 ‘If you want to take risk, only own things you're willing to own in a down 20-30% tape, because that's what we could see over the next month.  ‘This piece is going to read a bit like an inner monologue in the hopes that seeing how I wrestle with conflicting ideas may help with your own thought process. One of the responsibilities of putting your thoughts online for public consumption is only writing when you think you have something worth reading. After awhile you accumulate a portfolio of pieces and can see common themes in your writing, the struggles you've had, and whether you've been on the mark or not. And this summer I've written primarily about three topics: 1) the 2011 consumer tech IPO names led by Groupon, LinkedIn, and Zillow, which I've done a reasonable job with, 2) pessimism about the debt ceiling deal being resolved early due to the intransigence of the 2011 GOP, which I also feel I analyzed well, and 3) the ongoing macro tug-of-war between compelling valuations and the escalating European debt crisis, which I've gotten wrong.

The closest I got was in a June 24 piece where I wrote,

"My experience in 2007-08 taught me that in credit contagions understanding these dynamics is all that matters. Charts don't matter, macro data doesn't really matter, and until the contagion stops valuation doesn't really matter either. A $1 bill could trade for 70 cents if firms need to raise capital."


That's what I fought earlier this month, convinced that valuations for some blue-chip firms and not-as-bad-as-people-think macro data would be good enough. It hasn't been. The problem is, I thought about the issue too narrowly, focusing only on European sovereign spreads without seeing the second-order effects those spreads would eventually have. As sovereign spreads for the European periphery widened, governments responded by imposing austerity measures, which have now flowed through to the point where Europe may be back in recession. Here's one measure of the trend in economic activity for the key European countries.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet1.jpg

With sovereign spreads stressed and economic activity rolling over, European banks have been under pressure, both the equity and of course the credits, with credit default swaps for European banks at wider levels than they were in 2008-09.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet2.jpg

The problem with this is that credit spreads and equity prices are intricately linked, as this chart from Goldman Sachs shows comparing the spreads of the key iTraxx Main CDS index with the STOXX 600 index, Europe's equivalent to the S&P 500.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet3.jpg

And in a leveraged, interconnected world, a systemic problem somewhere flows everywhere else, as investment-grade and high-yield credit indices in the US show.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/plummet4.jpg

The key question I've asked this week is: Can European banks, or Bank of America, fund themselves right now? The answer is no. That's a problem. If economic data were getting better, even on a green shoots basis, that might be one thing, but just about every data point we've gotten out of Europe recently, or Philly Fed here in the US, has been negative on a second derivative, and in many cases, a first derivative basis.

If we knew that fiscal and monetary policymakers were ready to fire bazookas and gas up their helicopters, that'd be a different story. In 2008-09 we got a big fiscal stimulus package out of China and a lesser but still sizable one in the US. Today we have both the US and Europe looking to cut spending, not increase it. On the monetary policy front, the ECB actually raised rates this summer, and Ben Bernanke's speech at Jackson Hole on Friday shows that either he doesn't think additional stimulus is needed, that it won't help, or that there's too much political risk to take bold action, precisely the problem he said hampered the Japanese in his famous 2002 speech on deflation.

Most worrisome of all might have been comments out of German Chancellor Angela Merkel last weekend, when she said, “Politicians can’t and won’t simply run after the markets. The markets want to force us to do certain things. That we won’t do. Politicians have to make sure that we’re unassailable, that we can make policy for the people.”

This is after a 25% drop in the DAX, and the leader of the country that holds all the cards in Europe says that she won't be bullied by markets. The Bernanke/Merkel/Trichet put may exist, but its strike price appears to be a lot lower than many thought.

When nearly every major bank in Europe has a credit spread north of 300bps or is headed there in a hurry, I'm not going to make the argument that so-so US economic data, solid earnings, and attractive valuations will win out in the short term. Markets are cruel and merciless when it comes to leveraged institutions under financial stress. In 2008-09 to combat this we got TARP, the AIG (AIG) bailout, the stimulus package, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), a whole host of other short-term funding programs from the Fed, and finally in March of 2009 we got green shoots, second derivative improvements in the economy. Today we have, "Most of the economic policies that support robust economic growth in the long run are outside the province of the central bank." If the SPX went to 700-800 we would see multi-generational bargains for a whole host of names, many of which would trade at around cash value plus a 2-3 multiple on earnings. But structurally, there's no reason why it can't happen. If you want to take risk here, only own things you're willing to own in a down 20-30% tape, because that's what we could see over the next month.’

 

 

 

Stocks Woosh Higher in Vacuum, Now Perfectly Poised for Disappointment at The Wall Street Journal

 



 

What to Expect Next From the Markets at Minyanville  Jeffrey Cooper Aug 29, 2011  ‘Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Baidu (BIDU), IBM (IBM), and Caterpillar (CAT) on Friday. That is why the market is so dangerous here ‘   ‘From a technical perspective, the markets are looking dangerous right now. On Friday, a big buy program was run for Ben Bernanke’s speech after running the stops and getting traders short.

The S&P buckled after breaking the 1154 mid-point of the recent range, running the stops and trapping shorts for good measure on a Pinocchio of the key 1140 support, as offered in the last report.

However a first hour low was scored in a mirror image of recent first hour highs and I sent an alert to cover shorts. Combined with Bernanke’s speech, the flip was switched to save a poor weekly close when the S&P recaptured 1154.

A 10 minute chart of the SPY shows a downside ORB (a break of the opening range defined by the first 30 minutes) to flush the stops, and then an ORB Reversal back through the level of the downside pivot, followed by a powerful Reverse ORB on a thrust back through the top of the opening range implying a trend day to the upside.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/ARCX_SPY_10%20--%20SPDR%20S&P%20500%20TRUST.jpg

The promise of the Catapult ORB -- first to the downside then back to the upside -- was further fulfilled on penetrating topside lateral resistance above 117 SPY.

In so doing, the notion of a Fed Cha Cha Cha was turned into more of a jitterbug for the shorts to run for cover.

The ensuing extension by the SPY led to a retracement back to the low of Thursday’s high bar.

Thursday gave a first hour high while Friday gave a first hour low as the robots play ping pong with tape.

One might fairly call Friday the “case of the missing ‘cha’".

Typically following Fedspeak, there is a sequence of 3 moves in opposite directions with the third move being the genuine bias.

In Thursday morning’s report I suggested that the direction following the first hour on that day should be the bias into the weekend. There was a change of character in the dynamics which the Reverse ORB did a good job of identifying.

There is another short term change in character implying a continuation on Monday morning (whether that will define a first hour high again near the important 1180ish resistance remains to be seen).

That short term change in character is set up by Friday’s Reversal of a Reversal, or what I call a ‘Kaiser Soze’.

Why? The important Three Day Chart Turned down on Monday as the S&P traced out 3 consecutive lower daily lows. In addition, Monday saw the Weekly Swing Chart turn down.

The fact that the turndown was marginal and defined a low immediately in terms of both time and price was a bullish indication of a short term test and a potential short term “W” bottom on the daily charts.

The takeaway was a multi-day rally which played out, finally satisfying a kiss of the overhead 20 day moving average which the S&P failed to accomplish on the first rally off the lows.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/INDEX_$SPX_D%20--%20S&P%20500%20INDEX%20%7BDelay20%7D.jpg

The tag of the 20 dma, which played out on Thursday, was the first test of that trendline since the Cascade Setup began in July.

A pullback to the 20 dma is referred to by many traders as the Holy Grail for its effectiveness in defining a reversal point -- especially the first time.

Like clockwork, the S&P was rejected by the 20 dma on Thursday in concert with a turnup of the Three Day Chart. This defined another high, setting up a continuation trade for Friday to the downside.

However, a funny thing happened when the bears pressed the case of the “yes we have no QE3 Bananas for you” speech at the Jackson Hole forum -- the S&P left a Reversal of a Reversal, stopping right at the 20 day moving average and flirting with an extension above it this morning. This would coincide with a breakout over a trendline from late July.

Not all breakouts are created equal, as we saw with the breakout to a new high in May this year and also on the short-lived trendline breakout into the important July 7th pivot high.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/SPXdailyAprilb.jpg
Click to enlarge

My rule of thumb is that breakouts and upspikes in persistent bear phases are made for the selling. However, as the weekly chart of the S&P shows, the index will turn its weekly chart back up on trade over last week's high of 1190.68 (Thursday’s first hour high).

The normal expectation is that this would set up another high, but because of the pattern of the W bottom, the constructive behavior on last week's turndown of the Weekly Swing Chart, and because the S&P is poised to pop over its 20 dma this morning which coincides with a breakout over a declining trendline, there is a likelihood that the bears will keep their claws in their pockets and the bulls may snort a little. While I would give the market its due on the upside if the action is constructive following the turn up of the weekly chart -- which the futes suggest will occur near the open -- I am not too interested in being long more than a few hours and overnight.

Be that as it may, a further change in short term behavior and constructive action following a turn up of the Weekly Swing Chart suggests a move to/over 1208, the recent swing high.

 

At the same time the the 55-day panic point from the July 7th pivot window does not close until August 31st, so this is tricky here. However, the market is not a fine Swiss watch and when it comes to these cycles one must allow for plus or minus a few days. I think we should key off the behavior following a turnup in the weekly chart and the action following the first hour. If the trend is still in runaway down mode, another high could be defined quickly. I would exercise some patience here and let the market speak.

The cycles suggest another short-term plunge into September 3rd and then a bigger rally to 1220 or higher into/around the end of the first week of September to September 11th. It then suggests another plunge that undercuts the 1100 low to possibly as low as 1018ish. If a flush of the lows plays out under 1100, it could mirror the pattern from 1937 or 1938. In other words it could be a fractal of the first waterfall decline with a marginal undercut, or we could see a deep flush of the lows.

The takeaway is that not all W bottoms are created equal. Often a W V pattern plays out. This is the pattern that played out from the triangle/consolidation in late 2008 to the “V” in March ’09.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/cooper/0811/29/DJ-30%201937%20-%201938%20final%202.jpg

While the institutional bulls are caught long on the trap door setup from August, a little strategy is required: above 1180 and then 1200 could see the S&P test 1220ish. This marks the double tops from April/November 2010. When the market knifed though those prior highs, which should have been ultimate support if the trend was still healthy, the Head & Shoulders Top projection to 1150 at a minimum became irrefutable. Those prior peaks near 1220, now broken, should offer substantial resistance. However, with many funds trapped short and everyone looking for a test of the neckline near 1250/1260 and a test of the 200 day moving average as it turns down, reconfirming the sign of the bear, it’s anybody’s guess if the sellers let it get back there -- at least in September. Perhaps a test of the 200 day plays out after a ‘W V’ and a flush of the lows, leading to a big “Bankers Rally”/Christmas rally to rescue bonuses, like in 2007.

Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Baidu (BIDU), IBM (IBM), and Caterpillar (CAT) on Friday.

That is why the market is so dangerous here -- because despite big gains in these names when a big fund turns around to liquidate, they find few substantial bids on the way back down and these same stocks can be down 4 and 5 points again with another 400 point DJIA down day. When exactly that next break comes is anybody’s guess, but cycles suggest it is sooner rather than later. I would be patient about being too long for more than a few hours to a day or two for the time being. With everyone looking for the Big Backtest of the 200 dma, it is also anybody’s guess as to when that arrives -- from here or following a flush out of the lows. With everyone eyeing perceived targets of S&P 1220 to 1250, will the market just burn out here with everybody waiting and with an undercut of the lows having to play out before a better rally into year end? It is interesting that the war cycle from 1990 -- when Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on August 2nd precipitated a market waterfall -- that there was a July pivot high as there was this year.

In 1990 there was no low until October. August 2, 1990 was 252 months ago, tying to the big September 3rd historic cycle (which includes the 1929 all time high). In addition we have the 120 month anniversary of 9/11 and that Spike & Reversal pattern coming up, so I think a lot of volatility remains in store and patience and discipline will be critical no matter how good a short term change in character appears.

Strategy: I would look to scalp long above 1170 and scalp short below 1160. Monday may hold up, but it will be interesting to see if we reach the high for the week today -- in bear phases the first hour of the session often times scores the high for the day. If Tuesday is a reversal day, I suspect the market will trend down into the Labor Day weekend. If the market rallies up into the weekend it should define another ledge and jumping off point.

Gold broke according to expectations early last week from just above 1900. Another short sets up in the 1820 zone if it hasn’t already topped with a turnup of the daily charts on Friday. Ditto iShares Silver Trust (SLV). The next break should target 1660 and below that 1590.’

 

 

Obama's Legacy: A Failed Recovery & Double-Dip Recession Forbes / Mariotti  There will be no significant recovery in the United States of America while Barack Obama is President.  The evidence is overwhelming:  everything Obama has tried to fuel a recovery (with his Democratic allies in Congress) has failed.  Statistics claiming jobs saved by the stimulus package were mostly fiction, and cost American taxpayers about $275,000 each.  Nearly 2-1/2 million fewer Americans have jobs than before the stimulus.

Barack Obama has been President for 30 months—2-1/2 years. He spent the first year obsessed with passing Obamacare, a program that doesn’t create jobs, but might destroy a lot of them.  He “bailed out” GM, but many believe that his interference didn’t save GM; it merely cost taxpayers an extra $15-20 billion, and stole from legitimate investors to buy off the UAW.  His broken campaign promises are too numerous to list.  At some point, his statute of limitations on blaming Bush runs out.  The latest joke is that the White House is that named the location of East Coast earthquake near DC “Bush’s Fault.”

Obama himself said, “…that after three years, if the economy wasn’t fixed he should be a one-term president.”

Clearly the economic malaise started on George W. Bush’s watch.  Its causes will be argued for decades, but most of them are traceable to irresponsible lending and excessive spending— both by government and the American people.  The trouble that started before 2008 is directly traceable to actions (or inactions) of Bush and GOP allies in Congress.  They spent America into the start of the current deficit during his eight years in the White House.

But that was then, and this is now. Since Obama took office the situation has gotten much, much worse. Obama has run up the deficit at more than twice the rate Bush did. During the first quarter of 2011, the US economy “barely grew” —at 0.4%—that was followed by second quarter’s “anemic growth” of 1%.  This was during the period when the Obama recovery was supposed to be well underway.  Employment data is unremittingly terrible:  new jobless claims are stuck at 400,000+/- each month, with job creation well below what it takes just to absorb new workforce entrants.  More Americans have been unemployed longer than ever in our history.  And looking ahead, the news is not good.

This is Obama’s failed American recovery, and in the near future, Obama’s impending double-dip recession (thanks in no small part to his three consecutive years with Trillion-dollar in deficits that have inflated the national deficit to soaring heights—$14+ Trillion.)  That legacy clearly belongs to President Barack Obama and with help from the Congress led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi during 2008-2010.   Thanks to them, our country hasn’t even had a budget since Obama took office.

The latest Obama Blame Finger pointing focuses on the “Tea Party” as “extremists” who have a problem with astronomical deficits as far as the eye can see.  (Pointing at Bush is getting a little old since he’s been out of office for 2-1/2 years).  Obama needs a new scapegoat.  The problem with the Tea Party is that it is like the child in the fairy tale, “The Emperors New Clothes.” The child is reviled for pointing out that the emperor is naked.  Thus, the Tea Party is not wrong, just unwelcome.

Now Obama also wants to point the Blame Finger at the GOP House for the downgrade in the US debt rating by Standard and Poor’s.  It seems that he believes that everyone else is to blame but him. That downgrade was predestined by the combination of irresponsible spending and Obama’s clueless attempts to throw money at a recovery to no avail.  Spending $1.50 for every dollar of revenue, running trillion dollar annual deficits is reason enough for a downgrade in the US debt rating.

Face it folks:  This is Obama’s failed recovery. And if (or when) it comes to pass, this “double-dip” recession (just around the corner) is his too.

Make no mistake, there IS plenty of blame to go around.  About 75% of Americans are fed up with both Obama and Congress.   The conservative and liberal factions of the House and Senate behaved badly in the recent debt ceiling negotiation.  President Obama wanted to stay above the fray so he provided no leadership. He didn’t even know how to bring the opposing viewpoints together.  He talked about bi-partisanship and consensus, but his actions disproved his words.

Until the president saw an impending disaster, he sat on the sidelines, afraid to do anything that might hinder his reelection campaign.  Then, when his intervention didn’t help, and arguably hurt the progress, he grew impatient, petulant and angry.

John Boehner, however, did an admirable job trying to build a compromise deal on the debt ceiling, and get his own Caucus to support such a plan.  Except, Obama was attacked by his liberal base for even considering the “grand bargain,” so he came in and dumped another “raise taxes more” demand on Boehner.  I’d have walked out too, which Boehner was right to do.

But at least they were arguing about the right thing: how much to cut spending and how.

The Tea Party’s desire for fiscal responsibility is right, but it doesn’t mean that tax revenue can’t be increased.  It can; how it’s done is what matters.  The tax code desperately needs to be restructured.  Simply digging in on old positions doesn’t help; it hurts.  The goal is to “get the country working again,” and grow our way out of this mess.

The one phrase of President Obama’s that I agree with is “Country First.”  But John Boehner was the one who tried his best to put “Country First.”  If Obama truly chooses that as his 2012 campaign slogan, it will reek of hypocrisy.

If the members of Congress would put 1) country first, 2) constituents wishes next, and 3) personal agendas last, they might be able to work together to find a way out of this mess.

What happens in the Super-Committee of Twelve will be both revealing and predictive.  Either America’s Congressional leaders will—or won’t—put "country first" and try to find common ground and reasonable compromises to lead America out of this mess.

Whatever happens, this failed recovery and impending recession belong to President Barack Obama.  His condescending explanations of why “we Americans” don’t get it, how “this will take a long time,” this recovery, and his “class warfare” about “millionaires and billionaires” versus the “common folk” are all wearing thin.

This kind of rhetoric won’t solve America’s problems.   It takes strong, informed, and experienced leadership to get through a mess like this one. We need a fixer, not a hypocritical speechmaker in the White House.  Barack Obama is not that man.  A wise man once told me, “The person who got you into a problem is seldom the one who will get you out of it.” That’s why there will be no recovery on Obama’s watch…’

Deja Vu All Over Again: Total US Debt Passes Debt Ceiling… In Under One Month Since Extension  Sep 2nd, 2011 News (ZeroHedge) — ‘Remember when one month ago the US, to much pomp and circumstance, not to mention one downgrade, announced a grand bargain raising the debt ceiling from $14.294 trillion to something much higher, with a stop gap intermediate ceiling of $14.694 trillion, or $400 billion more. Well, as of today, or less than a month since the expansion, total US debt is at $14.697 trillion. Yep – the total debt is again over the ceiling, which means the US debt increased by $400 billion in one month. Score one for fiscal prudence. And while the total debt subject to the limit is still slightly less, at $14.652, one week of Treasury auctions and will be time for Moody’s to justify again why the US is a quadruple A credit.  http://www.usagold.com/pete/newsviews/DebtCeiling.jpg

Ten Thoughts

1. Prior stimulus in the US is dead, having run its full course.
2. There is no incentive in the US Congress for more stimulus.
3. Austerity measures have yet to hit Italy and France.
4. Austerity measures will continue to bite Spain, Greece, Ireland.
5. Germany's export machine will die without the rest of Europe.
6. QE3 will fail much sooner than QE2 as interest rates already extremely accommodating.
7. Gold may respond well to competitive currency devaluation schemes.
8. The Eurozone is highly likely to breakup, although timing is unknown.
9. Global equities and commodities are priced for perfection.
10. Perfection is not happening.

 Talk of avoiding recession when the global economy is clearly in one and fundamentals are horrendous is sheer lunacy. For more, see Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis here.’

Albert Edwards Has Another Reason You Should Worry About Profits at The Wall Street Journal  Mark Gongloff

http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OB-PM490_margin_K_20110906142805.jpg

‘Brendan posted earlier about how Citigroup is getting worried about profit margins. They’re not alone — Soc Gen’s in-house Dr. Doom, Albert Edwards, has a note today with his own take on the subject.

Shockingly, Mr. Edwards’s take is downbeat!

While Citi focused on the impact of government spending on corporate profits, Mr. Edwards zeroes in on the recent collapse in productivity and surge in labor costs and what they say about margins:

Last week the BLS revised the unit labor cost rise in Q2 up from 2.2% to 3.3% quarter over quarter. US non-farm business unit labour costs are now rising by 2% year over year. That is very bad news for profits. Bad news for equities. And because the pace of ULC is a key driver of inflation (upwards in this instance), it is bad news for an increasingly criticised and divided Fed.

Since labour costs overwhelmingly dominate corporate costs, trends in productivity are crucial to the pace of growth of company profits. If unit labour cost growth is below unit price inflation, then unit margins are expanding. This, together with unit sales growth (and the less important unit non-labour costs), arithmetically determine profit growth.

Typically, productivity growth tends to ebb and flow with the economic cycle – i.e. productivity tends to rise as the economy accelerates and vice versa. Therefore unit labour costs tend to fall sharply early in economic recoveries (as has happened recently), but typically begin to rise and eventually exceed output price inflation later in the cycle.

When unit labour costs start to rise quicker than output prices, as is the case now, this tends to exert an upward pressure on inflation as companies try to maintain margins. The pass-through of this upward pressure on inflation is largely determined by the pace of the cycle. If demand is robust, inflation will rise. If demand is weak and companies cannot pass on cost increases, margins and profits get crushed. That is the tipping point we have now reached.

And Wall Street analysts, in a truly shocking development, actually seem to be paying attention, Mr. Edwards writes:

[W]e should not be surprised at the pace of deterioration in analyst earnings optimism: in fact we have seen a near record rate of decline in US estimates over the past six months. In Europe things are even worse! As Andrew Lapthorne shows in this week’’s Global Equity Market Arithmetic, European (ex UK) the level of analyst optimism has now dived to 24%, a level only ever reached in recession.’

 

 

 

Why Every Investor Needs to Time the Market Breakout  ‘In tumultuous times conventional wisdom suggests buying then holding high quality, blue chip, dividend paying stocks for stability. The big idea is to avoid "timing the market" by extending the time frame beyond the current day, month, year or even decade. The value/yield camp tends to view volatile markets, such as that of 2011, as a chance to add to a portfolio while flighty "traders" panic in and out of stocks.The mathematical fact is those who have bought and held stocks over the last 3, 5 or even 10 years have lost money, either on an absolute basis or relative to inflation. Missing the 50% drop of 2008 didn't require intuition, charting or sophisticated financial analysis. Selling the news when Bear Stearns got sold for $2 got you out of the S&P500 well over 1,250. Selling the news of the Lehman collapse got you out of stocks well over 1,200 on the S&P. Once out, investors had two years to get back into the market below where they made their exit. I don't particularly regard stepping aside as trading; it's common sense. If investing in this manner is a mug's game, buying and holding forever, putting Blue Chips in a drawer forever, or dollar-cost averaging have been tantamount to financial self-abuse…’   This Is a Secular Bear Market and The End of Buy and Hold … and Hope http://www.albertpeia.com/endofbuyandhold.htm Brian Rezny June 03, 2010 ‘Buy and hold investing is a popular strategy, and the thinking is straightforward: in the long run, the market will offer returns, in spite of short-term volatility. In theory, this is a sensible idea. Unfortunately, this approach does not work in today’s market. Why not? Of course, the market is down for this month. But that’s not the reason this is not a buy and hold environment. It’s not just about the recent correction, or the end of a market rally. The current trend fits into a much bigger picture… and it’s a picture of a long-term bear market. Secular markets are long-term trends, typically lasting about 18 years…’  [ This was true and among my conclusions even back in 1977 when I did my MBA thesis: MBA Finance, NYU GBA, 1977.

Prepare For Recession And Bear Market at Forbes Sy Harding, ‘Brace yourself for a recession.

Central banks around the world seem to be doing so, making little effort to prevent it this time around, resigned to letting the business cycle play out.

Stock markets around the world also seem to be doing so. In anticipation of economic slowdowns that won’t slide all the way into recessions, stock markets normally decline only into corrections (declines of less than 20%). But they plunge into bear markets when recessions loom.

And global stock markets outside of the U.S. are already in full-fledged bear markets. That includes 10 of the world’s 12 largest economies, the exceptions being only the U.S. and Canada.

In order of the size of their economies, at the recent August lows the stock market in China, the world’s second largest economy, was down 23% from its November peak, Japan down 21%, Germany down 30%, France down 29%, the United Kingdom down 21%, Brazil down 33%, Italy down 39%, India down 25%, Russia down 28%, and Spain down 29%. The exceptions were the U.S. and Canada, which at their August lows were down only 16% (the Dow) and 18% respectively.

The recession and bear market are coming to the U.S. too, and may have already arrived.

You can be sure of that because it’s been one world economically for years, and historically global economies and stock markets tended to always move in and out of recessions and bear markets together even before their dependence on each other became so pronounced.

You can be sure of it because central banks seem willing to let it play out this time as in days of old, without intervention.

In the financial crisis of 2007-2008, it took a massive coordinated effort by global central banks to pull the world back from the brink of what would have been a total global financial collapse.

But when their economies began to slow again in 2010, without the world being on the brink of financial Armageddon, major nations outside of the U.S. were content to let the business cycle play out normally, arguing against the U.S. Fed’s decision to jump in with its QE2 stimulus efforts.

Indeed, while the Fed was making that massive monetary easing effort, central banks in Asia, Europe, and South America were tightening monetary policies and raising interest rates to ward off rising inflation, and to tackle the government debt crises created by their 2008-2009 bailout efforts.

The Fed’s QE2 effort pushed a flood of additional dollars into the global financial system, spiking the prices of commodities and paper assets like stocks, but had no lasting effect on even the U.S. economy.

This year, as global economies again slow significantly, central banks outside of the U.S. again seem content, or at least resigned, to letting the business and economic cycle play out, even though it likely means a global recession.

They refrain from saying anything too negative that might make matters worse, but for instance, this week the central bank of Brazil, which actually has one of the world’s strongest and fastest growing economies (but highest rate of inflation), warned that this downturn in global economies will not be as severe as in 2008-2009, but will be more prolonged.

The Financial Times reported Friday that “As the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s forecasts showed on Thursday, the near-term economic outlook for the Group of Seven is dire, yet the mood is one of resignation. . . . Finance ministers across the G7 are searching for ways to explain their lack of likely coordinated action.”

And even in the U.S., the Federal Reserve has been clearly transparent about its reluctance to intervene this time.

With the economy far weaker than it was when the Fed intervened with QE2 last year, Fed Chairman Bernanke continues to say the Fed has some tools it can use if necessary, but will wait and see. In his most recent speeches he cautioned that the Fed is limited in what it can do anyway, and called for Congress to step up to the plate.

Thursday evening, President Obama did call for Congress to step up to the plate and pass his $450 billion jobs bill.

But even if the proposal should get through the political grinder of the grid-locked Congress, it would be too little too late by the time it could be implemented.

So prepare for a recession and bear market.

Hopefully investors learned from the 2000-2002 and 2007-2009 bear markets that Wall Street’s advice to diversify into ‘defensive’ stocks won’t do it. As I’ve shown you in previous columns, so-called defensive stocks, defensive because they pay high dividends or have been around a long time, are dragged down just as far as any in a bear market.

Back in ‘the old days’ the call of successful investors in times like this was that “cash is king”. Even receiving little to no interest income on cash was better than experiencing a 30 to 40% loss.

These days investors are better served. The availability of ‘inverse’ mutual funds and ‘inverse’ exchanged-traded funds, designed to move up when markets move down, make them the new king in bear markets. Cash may be better than losses, but the opportunities for 30% profits while others are experiencing 30% losses are even better.

In the interest of full disclosure, I and my subscribers have already taken double-digit profits from positions in the ProShares Short S&P 500 etf, symbol SH, and ProShares Short Russell 2000 etf, symbol RWM, and we’re looking at others.’

 

 

4 Bearish Mega Trends   Simon Maierhofer, September 9, 2011, ‘In 2004, Daniel Simons of the University of Illinois and Christopher Chabris of Harvard University conducted an experiment that was as simple as it was fascinating.

If you want to be part of the experiment, watch this video before you read any further.

The Experiment

There are two groups of three people each. One group is wearing black shirts, the other group white shirts. The assignment is to watch how many times the players wearing white, pass the basketball.

If you counted 15, you are correct. But more importantly, did you notice the gorilla? While you were counting passes, a woman dressed in a gorilla suit walked slowly across the scene, stopped to face the camera and thumped her chest.

Half of the people watching the video with the intent of counting passes did not see the gorilla. The experiment illustrates the phenomenon of unintentional blindness. This condition, also known as perceptual blindness, prevents people from perceiving things that are in plain sight.

For most of 2010-11 Wall Street was so enamored by the magical powers of QE2 that it forgot about the 800-pound gorilla - the economy that wasn't improving. In fact, the economy continued deteriorating in plain sight.

There are five bearish mega trends that may draw stock prices much lower over the coming years. Here are the five mega trends (and what will make stocks rally in between).

U.S. Deficit

For a moment, take a mental journey with me back in time. We are now in early 2008. The major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI), and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) are slowly coming off their all-time high, but the collapse of Lehman Brothers has not yet hit the news.

Unbeknownst to most, the perfect financial storm is brewing. Once the storm hits, it is much worse than anyone expected. But, the eventual damage is limited. Why? Because, the government steps up and does what it takes to prevent the financial system from failing.

Today has the feel of early 2008. Another perfect storm may be brewing. Will the government be there to do what it takes to support 'too big to fail?' No! In 2008 financial companies were in trouble. In 2011 entire countries (look at Europe and the U.S.) are struggling to escape the grip of delinquency.

A Decelerating Generation

Starting in 2011, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day will turn 65, a pattern that will continue for the next 19 years. This dry humor cartoon encapsulates the problem retirees' face today:

Two older gentlemen are having a drink. One says: 'As a Baby Boomer, I never thought the boom would be the sound of my retirement accounts collapsing.' He'd like to sip on a nice Scotch while enjoying a steak, but has to settle for water and free bread sticks at Olive Garden.

Most retirees still haven't recovered from the lost decade. Let's make the term lost decade more personal. A 55 year old with $100,000 in his retirement account at the beginning of the year 2000 and a 6% projected rate of return, would have $201,419 today.

The S&P trades 20% below its 2000 level. Courtesy of the lost decade, that $100,000 in the year 2000 has turned into $80,000 today (perhaps less if invested too aggressively). In other words, many retirees may have to get by on less than half of their expected nest egg. In addition, their home, rather than being an asset (many considered it an ATM a few years ago), has turned into a liability.

It doesn't take much imagination to see that strapped retirees are bad for economic growth. When the focus is on survival rather than pleasure, sectors like technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), retail (NYSEArca: XRT - News), and consumer discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) suffer.

In addition, baby boomers that have been buying stocks for decades (think of all the 401k money) are now turning into sellers of stock.

Low Interest Rates

Low interest rates are great for the U.S. government because it reduces debt payments on Treasuries and businesses wanting to expand. Unfortunately, businesses don't feel like expanding or even hiring and for pretty much everyone else low interest rates are negative.

Some try to sell the idea that low interest rates are good for stocks (NYSEArca: VTI - News) because money will flow from low interest bonds into stocks in an effort to get a better return.

The chart below plots the Nikkei against Japan's version of the discount rate. The discount rate has been below 1% since 1995. At the same time the Nikkei has dropped from above 20,000 to below 10,000. Much of this happened during a raging global bull market. Imagine what a global bear market can do to U.S. stocks.

                    https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20japan%20discount.gif

Low interest rates are a double negative because they reduce available spending for retirees who need to get as much income as possible to survive.

Coming to a Head

The above three bearish trends were highlighted in detail in various 2011 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletters. Due to those, and other mega trends, the Newsletter has been expecting a major market top.

For much of 2011 however, the expectation of a major market top was postponed until the ideal target range was reached. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update included a precise range for a major market top: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions. '

Why was S&P 1,369 - 1,382 a candidate for a reversal of historic proportions? The chart below, published by the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter in March and many times since, has the answer.

                   https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif

What you see is a giant M, or head and shoulders top. The right shoulder was made up of the parallel trend channel that connects the 2002 and 2009 low, with the 2000 high. In April/May the upper line of the trend channel ran through 1,377. Additional resistance was provided by Fibonacci levels at 1,389 and 1,369.

On May 2, the S&P briefly spiked as high as 1,370.58 before retreating and eventually dropping 18% in twelve trading days (July 25 - August 9). Once the S&P dropped below the 200-day SMA it entered free fall territory.

The July 28 ETF Profit Strategy update warned that: 'A break below the 200-day SMA and the trend line may trigger panic selling. One way to avoid missing out on a potentially big opportunity is to use the 200-day SMA at 1,284 as delineation between bullish and bearish bets - buy as long as the 200-day SMA serves as support, sell if it becomes resistance.'

From top to bottom (once the bottom is in), the S&P will have fallen more than 250 points. No doubt this kind of move validates a counter trend rally. When and where will this rally start and how high will it go?

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter provides a detailed outlook for the remainder of 2011 along with the target for a 2011 bottom and 2011 top. The Newsletter doesn't promise to get every turn of the market right, but it will identify the money-losing gorillas. Just imagine if you sold your holdings at the target range for a major top.’

Why to Sell When Wall Street Says 'Buy' and Vice Versa ETFguide.com

 

S&P 1,100 And Lower - More Likely Than you Think Simon Maierhofer, On Friday September 9, 2011, ‘The S&P has been chopping around aimlessly for nearly a month. Wednesday ETF Profit Strategy update explained the reason and the outcome as follows:

'The aimless sideways trading and lack of powerful and predominantly one-directional rally suggests that the S&P is stuck in a mild up side correction to be followed by new lows. Range bound trading lulls investors into a false sense of security.'

Here are more than a handful of reasons why new lows are likely.

Up Trend Broken

The chart below shows the Dow Jones Industrials (DJI: ^DJI) since the March 2009 bottom. The DJIA weekly candle low touched the yellow trend line on different occasions before breaking through it on August 2.

The S&P 500 (SNP: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) adhered to a similar but not as pronounced trend line. But the S&P also had a key experience on August 2. The August 2 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update observed regarding a head and shoulders top that the: 'S&P is about to break below the neckline around 1,249. A break below this neckline would unlock a measured target of S&P 1,140.'

The fact that both the DJIA and S&P 500 broke through necklines that have held for over two years is less than encouraging.

In addition, the S&P's May 2 high at 1,370 occurred right within the sweet spot of a major market top. The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter published the chart below on various occasions throughout March, April and May and preached that S&P 1,369 - 1,382 is the ideal target range for a major market top (chart below was featured in the April 5 ETF Profit Strategy update).

                                         https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/5%20-%20April%203%20TF.jpg                           

Death Cross

The death cross is one of the most talked about technical events, that's why I don't put too much stock in it. However, there are two interesting facts about previous death crosses.

The 2000 and 2007 death cross occurred about three days before the S&P embarked on its next leg down. The 2010 death cross was actually a buy signal. However, it occurred after the S&P and DJIA bounced off the yellow trend line (this time the trend line was broken).

Seasonality

August, September, and October is the most bearish stretch of the year. September and October sport negative performance even in the pre-election year.

Sentiment

From S&P 1,370 on May 2 to S&P 1,258 on June 16, the S&P shed 112 points and sentiment measured by Investors Intelligence (II) and the American Association for Individual Investors (AAII) turned deeply bearish. The June 16 ETF Profit Strategy update took that as a queue to buy (long positions were closed at S&P 1,340).

From S&P 1,353 on July 7 to S&P 1,102 on August 9 the S&P lost 251 points, yet the II sentiment poll registered the second most bullish reading since the first week of May. AAII and II polls are often considered the 'dumb money.' If the 'dumb money' views last Wednesday's low as a buying opportunity, the 'smart money' should be suspicious.

VIX Pattern

If you have the charting capabilities, take a moment and plot the VIX (NYSEArca: VXX - News) against the S&P for the month of September - November 2008 and April - July 2010. If you don't have the time you may simply look at the chart below.

                                         https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/yahoo%20-%20vix%20pattern.gif           

What we've seen in 2008 and 2010 is that a VIX peak did not coincide with the S&P bottom. The S&P bottom actually occurred against a lower VIX reading. If this pattern continues, we will see lower lows.

The August 14 ETF Profit Strategy update includes a detailed analysis of the VIX pattern, along with the time frame and target level for an expected turn.

The Script

Via more or less accidental chart surfing I found a striking resemblance between the 2007 market top and the May 2011 top.  This moved me to state in the July 17 Profit Strategy update that:

'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.'

The S&P sliced through that trend line on August 4 and fell an additional 12% within the next four days (this ascending trend line is now a big target and resistance).

The August 7 Profit Strategy update revisited that script and concluded this: 'We now have a rough script; let's see how much lip the actors will add during the live performance (I.e. S&P downgrade).

The two main things I have taken away from the 2007 script are:

1) There will be a new low.

2) There will be a powerful counter trend rally to around 1,xxx (reserved for subscribers).'

Short-term Outlook

Wednesday's (September 7) ETF Profit Strategy update advised aggressive investors to short the S&P 500 as soon as it breaks below 1,173. This doesn't mean that stocks can't go higher, but shorting the S&P against major support/resistance (with a tight stop-loss above) is the only conservative way to assure participation in the next leg down…’

 

 

Ominous Bear Flag Pattern Suggests S&P 500 At 1,000  Scott Redler ‘Talk of a possible Greek debt default grew louder as the day wore on Friday, with several euro zone officials commenting that they expect a default over the weekend. Naturally, the markets didn’t respond positively to the news. Combine that with the terror alerts in New York City and Washington, D.C., this weekend for the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and it was a recipe for heavy selling.

The Dow closed off more than 300 points to finish another wildly volatile week, and based on the action and news, we could be headed for another huge Monday morning gap down. However, it was difficult to chase shorts at the end of the day at such oversold levels, because if the Greek default doesn’t come to fruition and there is no major terrorist attack, those short positions would likely be in serious pain.

The news of a possible Greek default, which would be a historic first-time event, overshadowed any individual stock stories today. In isolation, the default of a relatively small Eurozone economy would not be the “end of the world”, but with other, larger Euro economies standing on extremely shaky ground (especially Italy), such an event could trigger a domino effect unlike anything ever witnessed in modern human history.

Conventional wisdom would tell you that gold shot through the roof on a day like this, but whispers about potential margin hikes pushed GLD to a lower open and seemed to keep the metal at bay. Even with the market tanking, GLD had a hard time ticking higher.

Technical Take

If you take a step back and look at the SPY chart on a daily and even weekly time frame, the obvious pattern that jumps out at you is a wide, but well-defined, bear flag. Previously, we noted the well-defined head and shoulders pattern that forecast the deep correction.

The only strategies that have worked, and provided limited risk, over the past month have been buying and selling extreme moves in both directions. Large gap downs on Monday and Tuesday had investors extremely bearish–the most bearish since September 2007–which gave way to a steep short squeeze.

As we’ve seen before, that low-volume bounce/short squeeze was only “transitory”, as Ben Bernanke would put it. The oversold bounce we saw early in the week actually turned out to be a negative event for the bulls, because it allowed the market to work off its severely oversold condition and prime for another plunge.

After such a harsh move lower, which began around the time of the debt ceiling debate and S&P downgrade, it is natural for there to be some indecision in the indices. However, nobody would have expected the range to remain as wide as it has been. Resolution to this pattern will come at one point or another, and based in the in-bound move, there will be a powerful secondary move (more than likely to the downside). The lower end of the channel also lines up with the 200-week Moving Average, which will be another crucial technical level.

The measured move could take the S&P down to the 1,000 range if a worst-case type scenario plays out, which would involve a Greek debt default that triggered a domino effect in Europe that could likely trigger defaults in at least a few other PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) nations as well.

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/greatspeculations/files/2011/09/SP-bear-flag-1024x675.png

Technically, we are also seeing some clues that tell us that all is not well with Mr. Market. Nearly every sector is currently mired in a bearish technical formation; there are no rays of light. The one area of relative strength early in the week, is starting to look ready to break down as well.

One clue we look to first is high-beta tech. If the market is healthy under the hood, the leading high-beta tech stocks will usually hold up well. We saw some relative strength early in the week from the likes of Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Baidu.com Inc. (BIDU), but none of them were able to withstand the force of today’s drop. AAPL and BIDU in particular look to be forming wedge continuation patterns, which generally resolve to the downside.

During the formation of the head and shoulders pattern, for example, the Industrials (XLI) and the Homebuilders (XHB) started to break down first, which signaled to us that the rest of the market wasn’t far behind.

When selling is isolated and weak sectors drag the market down, it can be considered a buying opportunity for strong stocks. When selling is more across-the-board, it’s a sign to get of the way.

The measured move of the head and shoulder played out almost to a ‘T’ (as you can see on the chart). Technical patterns aren’t always perfect, but they provide a good roadmap. Another thing you have to understand about technical analysis too is that it is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy. Moves in the market often play out simply because a large group of traders and investors are reacting based on the same set of rules.

Before the break of the head and shoulders, you had the more mainstream media start talking about the ‘scary’ head and shoulders top pattern, which got both Main St. and Wall St. bearish. Now, everyone in the industry is talking about this ominous bear flag pattern, which is likely to make its rounds in the more mainstream media this weekend (along with the news about Greece).

Final Word

While doomsday talk is rampant right now–between a domino effect of European sovereign debt defaults to 9/11 anniversary attacks–as traders we never trade based on assumptions. The traders who are consistent and profitable over the long haul are the ones who, first and foremost, limit their risk. At the end of the day today, for example, there is enormous risk for both longs and shorts.

If Greece does default and/or there is some sort of attack on NYC/DC, the market is sure to open sharply lower on Monday. However, if one or both of those events do not occur, shorts would be in for a massive squeeze. After such a harsh down day like today, it is best to take any profits you may have generated and take a firm seat on the sidelines.

Even if you are not involved in the weekend trade, there will be tremendous opportunity over the next few weeks to take advantage of this historic market volatility. Great opportunity comes with great risk, so be sure to, more than ever, stick to your personal trading rules and don’t make big bets you can’t afford to pay off.’

 

 

Unprecedented Monthly Volume Sell-Off Suggests Now's the Time to Take Shelter at Minyanville Kevin A. Tuttle Sep 12, 2011 ‘Do not concern yourself if the market goes up today, tomorrow, or a month from now. The risk of entering is not worth the reward.

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of speaking with a very prominent European money manager – overseeing hundreds of billions – about the "across-the-pond" financial crisis unwind and looming hazard of a potential domino-effect coming to fruition. Without rehashing the entire conversation, the consensus is not "if," it’s "when" will the developing pressure finally blow. He actually went so far as to say it could truly begin unraveling within the next few weeks considering the catalysts currently in play.

The intent of providing the conversation synopsis is not for sake of fear, but understanding the potential ramifications. About three years ago, in one of my firm's quarterly reports, we opined on a unique situation in regard to the GDP measurements of Global Nations. It stated the unprecedented growth statistics from the 56 nations tracked. “History is currently being made in the sense that all the globally tracked economic growth nations (56), every one… 100%..., are showing expansion.” This lead to my next comment… “If the economic cycle pendulum swings in both directions what would happen if the inverse occurred?” Are 2011/2012 the years we are about to find out? Maybe that’s somewhat extreme, but yet… is it possible?

We at my firm do not pretend to be intelligent enough to figure out all the nuances, catalysts, causes and reasons why the markets could fall apart; we’ll leave it to the team of economists and officials to attempt to sort that out. What we do instead is try to determine when the storm is coming and how to take shelter, which brings me to my point: Now is the time. Take shelter! Do not concern yourself if the market goes up today, tomorrow or a month from now. Clarity is key! Would you sail your boat into rocky waters with a potential hurricane looming because of your love of sailing? Is the risk worth the reward? For some, maybe; but for most, probably not.

Since the "2011 Channel of Indecision" broke on August 4, the seas have picked up dramatically and have begun swallowing ships. The markets have never seen this type of monthly volume sell-off – 47% above average (unprecedented), as seen in the monthly chart above. As Kenny Rogers put it so eloquently… “Know when to hold em’ and know when to fold em', know when to walk away, know when to run!”

What's the Long-Term Outlook for Stocks and The Economy? ETFguide   Simon Maierhofer, September 12, 2011, ‘The stock market's summer performance has been nothing but stunning. Seeing daily swings in excess of 4% has become as common as American fast food in China.

Sometimes it's helpful to step back and shift the focus from day-to-day changes to multi-decade trends. This kind of big picture evaluation shows whether events like this summer's meltdown are just a hiccup or confirmation of a long-term trend (change).

MORE THAN JUST A MULTI-DECADE FLUKE

Gradual changes are often so subtle that they are nearly invisible to the naked eye or novice observer. But, just because a change is gradual doesn't mean it's insignificant.

Let's take a look at the basic make up of the U.S. economy. A few decades ago, sweat-trenched U.S. manufacturing facilities were the most fertile, growth-producing environment on the planet. This growth was fueled by 'Made in America' products. The growth was organic and it was real.

The first red box in the chart below captures this period of powerful organic growth. It lasted from 1947 - 1966. During this period, GDP growth averaged 4.18%.

The second red box captures a period of growth fueled by low interest and financial engineering. During this period - from 1975 - 2000 - GDP growth averaged only 3.4%.

                                     https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/Growth%20Periods%20Yahoo.gif

(The above chart was featured in the March 2011 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter)

The Only Original Dow Component, Not some Hot Tech Stock

General Electric (NYSE: GE - News), a company that prospered during both phases, aptly illustrates the difference between both periods.

Until the late 1960s, GE was known for manufacturing quality, American-made products like refrigerators, washing machines, stoves, light bulbs, and jet engines. GE manufactured real products, provided real jobs, and made real profits.

Starting in the 1980s GE changed its focus from blue collar manufacturing to white collar alchemy. GE ventured into television and high finance. GE's focus shifted from building quality products to financing purchases of competitor products. Ultimately, it went from manufacturing real products to building a financial house of cards.

In August 2000, GE traded as high as $60.5 a share. In 2009 it was as low as $5.73 - a 90% drop. Today, it's hovering around $15. As you ponder this change in valuation, keep in mind that GE is the only original Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI: ^DJI) component, not some hot today cold tomorrow tech stock.

A NEW TREND IS BORN ... AND KILLED

Financially engineered (artificial) profits appeared to be the best new thing since sliced bread. However, GDP growth since 2000 has dropped dramatically, now only 1.71%. The post-2007 meltdown shows that an economy cannot be built on the financial (NYSEArca: XLF - News) and banking (NYSEArca: KBE - News) sectors.

It also shows that an artificial bull market is much more receptive to huge corrections. We've had the 2000 tech bust (NYSEArca: XLK - News), the 2005 real estate (NYSEArca: IYR - News) debacle, the 2007/2008 deflation of the financial sector, and most recently the summer 2011 meltdown.

If you think financially engineered profits are bad, brace yourself for what lies ahead. The hopes for economic prosperity (perhaps even survival) rest on Facebook, Twitter, Groupon, LinkedIn, Netflix, and the like.

Social networking isn't a proven business model, yet Facebook has an estimated market cap larger than those of Boeing, Home Depot, Walt Disney, Dell, Hewlett Packard, Costco, or even Goldman Sachs.

Hewlett-Packard employs 325,000 people, Home Depot 300,000, Boeing 160,000. However, Facebook cuts pay checks to only about 1,000 lucky employees.  Welcome to the future of high corporate profit margins and even higher unemployment.

Groupon has an estimated value of $6-9 billion, but its recipe of success is to coax businesses into providing discounts of 50 - 90%. Groupon is a classic economic leach that benefits by sucking the profits out of its client base and teaching its subscribers to buy only at discount prices. Welcome to a future of shrinking small business profits.

THE STOCK MARKET AGREES

The big picture fundamental outlook appears less than confidence inspiring. What about the big picture technical outlook?

The chart below (although small in size due to upload limitations) was featured in the March ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter and provides a big picture technical forecast. In fact, it's about as 'big picture' as it gets.

                    https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif  

What you see is a giant bearish M pattern, it could even be considered a head and shoulders pattern. The neckline is formed by the 2002 and 2009 lows.

To determine an upside price target, we drew a parallel channel that connects the 2002 and 2009 lows with the 2000 high. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update said the following about this trend channel and other resistance levels:

'For the month of April this trend line will traverse through 1,377. The 78.6% Fibonacci retracement is at 1,381.5. There is a fairly strong Fibonacci projection resistance at 1,369. In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) peaked on May 2 at 1,370.58 and has since lost as much as 269 points or 19%. The Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) has held up slightly better, but no matter how you slice it, the stock market has given up more than a year's worth of gains within a matter of weeks. The VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) spiked to the highest level in over a year.

In addition, all major U.S. indexes broke below a trend line that has provided support on nine different occasions since the March 2009 lows.

This doesn't prevent rallies. In fact, based on our research, we should see a sizeable rally soon. However, odds favor that the stock market's trend has changed from up to down…’

Preparing for a Credit Crisis at Minyanville  John Mauldin’ “I am sure the Euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments. It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created.”-- Romano Prodi, EU Commission President, December 2001

Prodi and the other leaders who forged the euro … knew a crisis would develop, as Milton Friedman and many others had predicted. They accepted that as the price of European unity. But now the payment is coming due, and it is far larger than they probably thought…

The Consequences of Austerity

The markets are pricing in an almost 100% certainty of a Greek default (OK, actually 91%), and the rumors in trading circles of a default this weekend by Greece are rampant. Bloomberg (and everyone else) reported that Germany is making contingency plans for the default. Of course, Greece has issued three denials today that I can count. I am reminded of that splendid quote from the British ’80s sitcom, Yes, Prime Minister: “Never believe anything until it’s been officially denied.”

Germany is assuming a 50% loss for their banks and insurance companies. Sean Egan (head of very reliable bond-analyst firm Egan-Jones) thinks the ultimate haircut will be closer to 90%. And that is just for Greece. More on the contagion factor below.

“The existence of a ‘Plan B’ underscores German concerns that Greece’s failure to stick to budget-cutting targets threatens European efforts to tame the debt crisis rattling the euro. German lawmakers stepped up their criticism of Greece this week, threatening to withhold aid unless it meets the terms of its austerity package, after an international mission to Athens suspended its report on the country’s progress.

“ ‘Greece is “on a knife’s edge,”’ German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told lawmakers at a closed-door meeting in Berlin on Sept. 7, a report in parliament’s bulletin showed yesterday. If the government can’t meet the aid terms, ‘it’s up to Greece to figure out how to get financing without the euro zone’s help,’ he later said in a speech to parliament.

“Schaeuble travelled to a meeting of central bankers and finance ministers from the Group of Seven nations in Marseille, France, today as they face calls to boost growth amid increasing threats from Europe’s debt crisis and a slowing global recovery.” (Bloomberg)


(There is an over/under betting pool in Europe on whether Schaeuble remains as Finance Minister much longer after this weekend’s G-7 meeting, given his clear disagreement with Angela Merkel. I think I take the under. Merkel is tough. Or maybe he decides to play nice. His press doesn’t make him sound like that type, though. They are playing high-level hardball in Germany.)

Anyone reading my letter for the last three years cannot be surprised that Greece will default. It is elementary school arithmetic. The Greek debt-to-GDP is currently at 140%. It will be close to 180% by year’s end (assuming someone gives them the money). The deficit is north of 15%. They simply cannot afford to make the interest payments. True market (not Eurozone-subsidized) interest rates on Greek short-term debt are close to 100%, as I read the press. Their long-term debt simply cannot be refinanced without Eurozone bailouts…

[Quick sidebar: If (when) the US goes into recession [We’re already in a recession!], have you thought about what the result will be? A recession of course means lower GDP, which will mean higher unemployment. That will increase costs due to increased unemployment and other government aid, and of course lower revenues as tax receipts (revenues) go down. Given the projections and path we are currently on, that means even higher deficits than we have now. If President Obama has his plan enacted, and if we go into a recession, we will see record-level deficits. Certainly over $1.5 trillion, and depending on the level of the recession, we could scare $2 trillion. Think the Tea Party will like that? Governments have less control than they think over these things. Ask Greece or any other country in a debt crisis how well they predicted their budgets.]

The Greeks were off by over 25%. And they are being asked to further cut their deficit by 4% or so every year for the next 3-4 years. That guarantees a full-blown depression. And it also means lower revenues and higher deficits, even at the reduced budget levels, which means they get further away from their goal, no matter how fast they run. They are now in a debt death spiral. There is no way out, short of Europe simply bailing them out for nothing, which is not likely.

Europe is going to deal with this Greek crisis. The problem is that this is the beginning of a string of crises and not the end. They do not appear, at least in public, to want to deal with the systemic problem of too much debt in all the peripheral countries…

Euro Breakup – The Consequences

“The Euro Should Not Exist (Like This)

“Under the current structure and with the current membership, the Euro does not work. Either the current structure will have to change, or the current membership will have to change.

“Fiscal Confederation, Not Break-Up

“Our base case with an overwhelming probability is that the Euro moves slowly (and painfully) towards some kind of fiscal integration. The risk case, of break-up, is considerably more costly and close to zero probability. Countries cannot be expelled, but sovereign states could choose to secede. However, popular discussion of the break-up option considerably underestimates the consequences of such a move.

“The Economic Cost (Part 1)

“The cost of a weak country leaving the Euro is significant. Consequences include sovereign default, corporate default, collapse of the banking system and collapse of international trade. There is little prospect of devaluation offering much assistance. We estimate that a weak Euro country leaving the Euro would incur a cost of around €9,500 to €11,500 per person in the exiting country during the first year. That cost would then probably amount to €3,000 to €4,000 per person per year over subsequent years. That equates to a range of 40% to 50% of GDP in the first year.

“The Economic Cost (Part 2)

“Were a stronger country such as Germany to leave the Euro, the consequences would include corporate default, recapitalization of the banking system and collapse of international trade. If Germany were to leave, we believe the cost to be around €6,000 to €8,000 for every German adult and child in the first year, and a range of €3,500 to €4,500 per person per year thereafter. That is the equivalent of 20% to 25% of GDP in the first year. In comparison, the cost of bailing out Greece, Ireland and Portugal entirely in the wake of the default of those countries would be a little over €1,000 per person, in a single hit.

“The Political Cost

“The economic cost is, in many ways, the least of the concerns investors should have about a break-up. Fragmentation of the Euro would incur political costs. Europe’s ‘soft power’ influence internationally would cease (as the concept of ‘Europe’ as an integrated polity becomes meaningless). It is also worth observing that almost no modern fiat currency monetary unions have broken up without some form of authoritarian or military government, or civil war.”

Welcome to the Hotel California

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Last thing I remember, I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
“Relax,” said the night man, “We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!”

-- The Eagles, 1977

You can disagree with the UBS analysis in various particulars, but what it shows is that there is no free lunch. It is not a matter of pain or no pain, but of how much pain and how is it shared. And to make it more difficult, breaking up may cost more than to stay and suffer, for both weak and strong countries. There are no easy choices, no simple answers. Like the Hotel California, you can check in but you can’t leave! There are simply no provisions for doing so, or even for expelling a member.

The costs of leaving for Greece would be horrendous. But then so are the costs of staying. Choose wisely. Quoting again from the UBS report:

“… the only way for a country to leave the EMU in a legal manner is to negotiate an amendment of the treaty that creates an opt-out clause. Having negotiated the right to exit, the Member State could then, and only then, exercise its newly granted right. While this superficially seems a viable exit process, there are in fact some major obstacles.

“Negotiating an exit is likely to take an extended period of time. Bear in mind the exiting country is not negotiating with the Euro area, but with the entire European Union. All of the legislation and treaties governing the Euro are European Union treaties (and, indeed, form the constitution of the European Union). Several of the 27 countries that make up the European Union require referenda to be held on treaty changes, and several others may choose to hold a referendum. While enduring the protracted process of negotiation, which may be vetoed by any single government or electorate, the potential secessionist will experience most or all of the problems we highlight in the next section (bank runs, sovereign default, corporate default, and what may be euphemistically termed ‘civil unrest’).”

Leaving abruptly would result in a lengthy bank holiday and massive lawsuits and require the willingness to simply thumb your nose in the face of any European court, as contracts of all sorts would have to be voided. The Greek government would have to “conveniently” pass a law that would require all Greek businesses to pay back euro contracts in the “new drachma,” giving cover to their businesses, who simply could not find the euros to repay. But then, what about business going forward?

Medical supplies? Food? – The basics? You have to find hard currencies for what you don’t produce in the country. Greece is not energy self-sufficient, importing more than 70% of its energy needs. They have a massive trade deficit, which would almost disappear, as who outside of Greece would want the “new drachma?” Banking? Parts for boats and business equipment? The list goes on and on. Commerce would slump dramatically, transportation would suffer, and unemployment would skyrocket.

If Germany were to leave, its export-driven economy would be hit very hard. It is likely that the “new mark” would appreciate in value, much like the Swiss Franc, making exports from Germany even more costly. Not to mention potential trade barriers and the serious (and probably lengthy) recession that many of their export and remaining Eurozone trade partners would be thrown into. And German banks, which have loaned money in euros, would have depreciating assets and would need massive government support. (Just as they do now!)..

Ray Dalio and his brilliant economics team at Bridgewater have done a series of reports on a plan for Europe. Basically, it involves deciding which institutions must be saved (and at what cost) and letting the rest simply go their own way. If they are bankrupt, then so be it. Use the capital of Europe to save the important institutions (not shareholders or bondholders). Will they do it? Maybe.

The extraordinarily insightful and brilliant John Hussman recently wrote on a similar theme. He is a must-read for me. Quoting:

“The global economy is at a crossroad that demands a decision – whom will our leaders defend? One choice is to defend bondholders – existing owners of mismanaged banks, unserviceable peripheral European debt, and lenders who misallocated capital by reaching for yield and fees by making mortgage loans to anyone with a pulse. Defending bondholders will require forced austerity in government spending of already depressed economies, continued monetary distortions, and the use of public funds to recapitalize poor stewards of capital. It will do nothing for job creation, foreclosure reduction, or economic recovery.

“The alternative is to defend the public by focusing on the reduction of unserviceable debt burdens by restructuring mortgages and peripheral sovereign debt, recognizing that most financial institutions have more than enough shareholder capital and debt to their own bondholders to absorb losses without hurting customers or counterparties – but also recognizing that properly restructuring debt will wipe out many existing holders of mismanaged financials and will require a transfer of ownership and recapitalization by better stewards. That alternative also requires fiscal policy that couples the willingness to accept larger deficits in the near term with significant changes in the trajectory of long-term spending.

“In game theory, there is a concept known as ‘Nash equilibrium’ (following the work of John Nash). The key feature is that the strategy of each player is optimal, given the strategy chosen by the other players. For example, ‘I drive on the right / you drive on the right’ is a Nash equilibrium, and so is ‘I drive on the left / you drive on the left.’ Other choices are fatal.

“Presently, the global economy is in a low-level Nash equilibrium where consumers are reluctant to spend because corporations are reluctant to hire; while corporations are reluctant to hire because consumers are reluctant to spend. Unfortunately, simply offering consumers some tax relief, or trying to create hiring incentives in a vacuum, will not change this equilibrium because it does not address the underlying problem. Consumers are reluctant to spend because they continue to be overburdened by debt, with a significant proportion of mortgages underwater, fiscal policy that leans toward austerity, and monetary policy that distorts financial markets in a way that encourages further misallocation of capital while at the same time starving savers of any interest earnings at all.

“We cannot simply shift to a high-level equilibrium (consumers spend because employers hire, employers hire because consumers spend) until the balance sheet problem is addressed. This requires debt restructuring and mortgage restructuring. While there are certainly strategies (such as property appreciation rights) that can coordinate restructuring without public subsidies, large-scale restructuring will not be painless, and may result in market turbulence and self-serving cries from the financial sector about ‘global financial meltdown.’ But keep in mind that the global equity markets can lose $4-8 trillion of market value during a normal bear market. To believe that bondholders simply cannot be allowed to sustain losses is an absurdity. Debt restructuring is the best remaining option to treat a spreading cancer. Other choices are fatal.”

You think the world’s central banks and main institutions are not worried? They are pulling back from bank debt in Europe, as are US money-market funds. (Note: I would check and see what your money-market funds are holding – how much European bank debt and to whom? While they are reportedly reducing their exposure, there is some $1.2 trillion still in euro-area institutions that have PIIGS exposure.)

Look at the following graph from the St. Louis Fed. It is the amount of deposits at the US Fed from foreign official and international accounts, at rates that are next to nothing. It is higher now than in 2008. What do they know that you don’t?

The Slow March to Recession in the US..

John Hussman, in the same report, offers the chart below, which is a variant on themes I have highlighted in past issues, but with his own personal twist. It is a combination of four Fed indices and four ISM reports. And it has been reliable as a predictor of recessions – one of which it strongly suggests we are either in or heading into.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/LisaCatchJUNE2011/fred2.jpg

And recent revisions to economic data suggest that companies are going to have even more trouble making those powerhouse earnings that are being estimated. As Albert Edwards of Societe Generale reports this week:

“… at the start of 2011, productivity trends took a remarkable turn for the worse – especially compared to what was initially reported. An initial estimate that Q1 productivity grew by 1.8% was transformed to show a decline of 0.6%. A slight 0.7% rise in Q1 ULC (unit labor costs) was transformed to show a staggering surge of 4.8%! In addition to that 4.8% rise, ULC rose a further 2.2% in Q2. But the news gets even worse Last week the BLS revised the ULC rise in Q2 up from 2.2% to 3.3% QoQ. US non-farm business unit labor costs are now rising by 2% yoy. That is very bad news for profits. Bad news for equities. And because the pace of ULC is a key driver of inflation (upwards in this instance), it is bad news for an increasingly criticized and divided Fed.”

Preparing for a Credit Crisis

There is so much that could push us into another 2008 Lehman-type credit crisis..

I did an interview with good friends David Galland and Doug Casey of Casey Research yesterday. They are decidedly more bearish than I am, so wanted an “optimist” to sit on their panel. But they forced me to admit that some of my optimism depends on the probability of US political leaders doing the right thing. ..

But whether you want to make it 50-50 to 70-30 or (pick a number), there is a reasonable prospect of another credit crisis. So what should you do?

First, think back to 2008. Were you liquid enough? Did you have enough cash? If not, then think about raising that cash now. When the crisis hits, you have to sell what you can for what you can get, not what you want for reasonable prices …’

 

 

Don't Trust Wall Street and this Market  ETFguide  [ I couldn’t say this better myself! Take heed! My sentiments exactly, except far worse is in store! ] Simon Maierhofer, September 13, 2011, ‘The chicken is clueless about the egg's fate. Will it hatch or become an omelet?

Wall Street is clueless about their forecasts, will they 'hatch' or become egg on their face? Who cares; as long as it sounds good at the time, Wall Street's opinions are promoted by the media. Is this a haphazard approach? Judge for yourself.

The most recent Wall Street blunder was the over emphasis on positive earnings in April. Here are some of the headlines Wall Street and the financial media featured late April 2011:

Morgan Stanley shares rise as earnings beat estimates

Stocks, commodities rise as earnings top estimates

Leading U.S. indicators, consumer confidence gain as fuel costs discounted

World revs up U.S. profits

The Global economy is improving

The S&P breaks out

The Dow's going to 20,000

Sales growth the big surprise on Wall Street

Buffett says odds of another U.S. banking crisis low

Equities finally seeing light on the economy

Stocks find sea of tranquility

Flawed Reasoning

The chart below, featured in the September 2010 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter, reveals the flawed reasoning behind Wall Street's expectations. It plots Earnings per Share (EPS) against GDP and U-6 unemployment numbers.

                https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/EPS%20Growth%20Yahoo.gif

Notice how earnings for Q1, Q2, and Q3 2011 were supposed to reach a new all-time high. There were at least four reasons why record high EPS estimates were not long-term bullish:

1) GDP was contracting, U-6 (and every other measure of unemployment) did not signal a recovery. Every spike in EPS would be temporary and unsustainable.

2) EPS estimates are just a projection and are about as valuable as an un-hatched egg.

3) The last time EPS reached an all-time high was in Q2 2007. We all know what happened thereafter.

4) EPS or P/E ratios can be distorted via financial trickery. Financials (NYSEArca: XLF - News) and banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) took advantage of this when accounting rule FASB 157 was changed on April 2, 2009. This allowed banks to hide trillions of dollars of unrealized mortgage losses in an accounting loophole that doesn't affect their income statement and earnings. Thus some of banks' losses were included in earnings numbers.

The ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter's conclusion was simple and straight to the point: 'Buying at current prices with the expectation of long-term gains is almost certain to deliver despair and tears.'

Proceed With Caution

P/E ratios or EPS aren't a short-term timing tool and didn't prevent stocks from rallying since the above analysis was featured in the September ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter.

Nevertheless, a major market top was expected. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update put it succinctly this way: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions. Bullish bets should be watched very carefully, especially once stocks move above 1,356.'

The Summer 2011 meltdown erased all gains going back as far as December 2009. Yes, over 18 months of gains were eliminated within a matter of weeks.

Financial Serial Offender

If Wall Street was subject to the 'three strikes you're out' rule, there wouldn't be any financial offices in New York. By now it's common knowledge that Wall Street was overly optimistic in 2007 - right before the financial collapse - and overly pessimistic at the March 2009 lows - the beginning of a 100% + rally for the major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC).

More recent financial offenses include Wall Street's ill-advised fascination with silver in late April. On April 27 the Wall Street Journal ran a front-page article entitled 'Silver rush spreads to stock market.' The commentary read as follows: 'The metals are increasingly considered attractive as a permanent store of value that doesn't diminish like paper currencies.'…’

ETF Redemptions Highest Since 2008: Report ETF Trends 

 

 

Stock Market Secret Word of the Day Is 'Delusion' at The Wall Street Journal  Paul Vigna  ‘Once again, markets are eagerly swallowing the soothing words of European leaders, just as they have swallowed the soothing words of Chinese officials, Tim Geithner, etc., etc.

The Dow is up about 190 points, the S&P is up 1.8%, and the Nasdaq is up 2%, after the Conference Call to Save the Universe ended with all sides agreeing that Greece should never leave the eurozone and was doing what it could to get its next bailout fix.

Peter Boockvar at Miller Tabak is not impressed:

Bottom line, Greece is likely going to get its next 8 billion-euro tranche in 2 weeks but apparently Merkel, Sarkozy and Papandreou still don’t like paying attention to the bond market, where the 1 year [note]  in Greece is yielding 141.8%, the 2 year is yielding 74.5% and the 10 year is yielding 25.7%.

This says of course that the only lifeline the Greek government has is thru the generosity of its neighbors as they have almost zero chance of paying back in full all that is owed.

I mentioned Merkel being in fantasyland yesterday and delusion is the word today that comes to mind after seeing these Greek headlines.

One would think at this point that Greece would want a more pronounced debt restructuring in order to slash their debt instead of playing this game of pretend because they’re afraid to hurt the feelings of bondholders.’



Zoellick: World economy in new danger zone 

 

Geithner: Economy In “An Early Stage” Of Crisis Sep 14th, 2011 08:47 by News  (RealClearPolitics) — Jim Cramer, CNBC host: “Now let’s talk about the fact that you said the economy is weak. You put out a jobs plan. The New York Times today basically gives its obituary. ‘Tax plan for jobs bill.’ Familiar ring. Meaning the GOP will not back this. Is this dead on arrival?”

Tim Geithner, U.S. Secretary of Treasury: “Absolutely not. I think that there’s no reason now for the Congress of the United States not to act to help strengthen growth in the near term. It’s the conservative, prudent, responsible thing to do. You can think of it as protection against Europe.”

Cramer: “Okay.”

Geithner: “You can think of it as insurance against weaker growth going forward. And you got to think about the alternatives. If Congress or Washington is incapable of acting, then policy will be damaging to growth because what you’ll have is a deeper, steeper contraction in fiscal support than is prudent for an economy at this early stage of the crisis given the shocks we face. You know, life is about choices. Life is about alternatives.” [source] PG View: While this may be a significant admission on the part of the Treasury Secretary; in reality this may be the early stage of a crisis within the broader well-established crisis.’

Can the U.S. Sidestep Contagion with Europe? ETFguide  [ Short answer: NO! ] ‘… SINKING INCOME LEVELS Even without Europe's problems, the U.S.' reputation for being the land of milk and honey has been declining. Household income, according to the Census Bureau's annual report on living standards, fell for the third consecutive year and on an inflation adjusted basis, incomes have retreated back to levels seen 15-years ago. Median household income was at a mere $49,445 in 2010. Full-time workers also experienced sagging incomes, which are lower today than in 1978, after adjusting for inflation. Furthermore, the poverty rate for Americans increased to 15.1% of the population. Will Europe's crisis help the U.S. economy end a multi-decade trend of falling incomes and rising poverty? STILL BLIND TO RECESSION What do economists have to say about all of this? As a collective group, economists still deny the existence of an economic recession and their off-the-mark financial projections show it. Instead of taking a sober and realistic view of the economy, they see growth, growth and more growth. Economists with the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) predicted 2.8% expansion for the U.S. economy in May, but have since scaled back that forecast to 1.7%. For 2012, the group is projecting 2.3% growth. The NABE has been likewise wrong about the unemployment rate. They were projecting a jobless rate of 8.7% for the remainder of 2011 and 8.2% for next year. Instead, nationwide unemployment has remained above 9% and if we account for marginally attached workers along with unemployed self-employed workers the actual national jobless rate is probably closer to 20%. It's important to remember the NABE's survey was completed before the White House's unveiling of a $447 billion plan to stimulate job growth through (more) government spending and tax cuts. No doubt, once economists factor in the President's latest plan, they'll re-revise their economic forecasts bullishly upward to agree with their perennial growth bias…’

 

 

Minyanville's T3 Daily Recap: Market Squeeze Continues, But Was it a Trap?  By T3Live.com Sep 14, 2011, ‘After a quick rinse in the first hour of trading Wednesday, the squeeze was back on as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) surged 4 points (3.4%) from low to high. Weak shorts were forced to cover, and it was off the races for stocks. But just when it seemed all was well with the market, a harsh pull-in during the last half-hour of trading erased nearly half of those gains. We have seen this type of behavior before during this wide range consolidation in the market, and it typically leads to further downside. A teleconference between German, Greek, and French leaders today resulted in assurances that Greece would remain part of the Eurozone, but the same problems still exist on the troubled continent. There is a crisis of confidence starting occuring among European banks, with account holders keen to protect themselves from calamity. This is exacerbating previous capitalization concerns, which were confirmed this morning when French banks were downgraded. Today's action could have been another clever ploy to suck in longs while relieving some of the oversold condition of the market. Risk is high in both directions in this environment, and, as we have stated repeatedly over the last two weeks, it's best to keep your trading light at this stage.’

Huge Surge in Bank of America Foreclosures CNBC | Bank of America is ramping up its foreclosure processing.



David Rosenberg: “It’s Time To Start Calling This For What It Is: A Modern Day Depression” Zero Hedge | You know you’re in a depression when interest rates go to zero and there is no revival in credit-sensitive spending. September 14, 2011

By now only the cream of the naive, Kool-Aid intoxicated crop believes that the US is not in either a deep recession, or, realistically, depression. For anyone who may still be on the fence, here is David Rosenberg’s latest letter which will seal any doubts for good. It will also make it clear what the fair value of the stock market is assuming QE3 fails, which it will, and the market reverts to trading to fair value as predicated by bond spreads. To wit: “If the Treasury market is correct in its implicit assumption of a renewed contraction in the economy, then we could well be talking about corporate earnings being closer to $75 in 2011 as opposed to the current consensus view of over $110. In other words, we may wake up to find out a year from now that whoever was buying the market today under an illusion of a forward multiple of 10x was actually buying the market with a 15x multiple.” And since we are in the throes of a deep depression and a 10x multiple is more than generous, applying that to $75 in S&P earnings, means that the fair value of the S&P is… we’ll leave that to our readers.

From Breakfast with Rosie, of Gluskin Sheff

We just came off the weakest recovery on record despite the massive amounts of stimulus that the U.S. government has delivered in so many ways. That the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note is down to 2% already speaks volumes because the last time we were at these levels was back in December 2008 when the downturn was already 12 months old. A period like the one we have endured over the past six months when bank shares are down 30% and the 10- year note yield is down 130 basis points has never in the past foreshadowed anything very good coming down the pike. If market rates are at Japanese levels, or at 1930s levels, then it’s time to start calling this for what it is: A modern day depression.

Look, that entire period from 1929-1941 saw several quarters of huge bungee-jump style GDP growth and countless tradable rallies in the stock market.

But that misses the point.

The point being that a depression, put simply, is a very long period of economic malaise and when the economy fails to respond in any meaningful or lasting way to government stimulus programs. A series of rolling recessions and modest recoveries over a multi-year period of general economic stagnation as the excesses from the prior asset and credit bubble are completely wrung out of the system. In baseball parlance, we are in the third inning of this current debt deleveraging ball game.

You know you’re in a depression when interest rates go to zero and there is no revival in credit-sensitive spending.

The economy is in a depression when the banks are sitting on nearly $2 trillion of cash and yet there is no lending going onto the private sector. It’s otherwise known as a ‘liquidity trap’.

Depressions usually are caused by a bursting of an asset bubble and a contraction in credit, whereas plain-vanilla recessions are typically caused by inflation and excessive manufacturing inventories. You tell me which fits the bill today.

When almost half of the ranks of the unemployed have been looking for a job fruitlessly for at least six months, you know you are in something much deeper than a garden-variety recession. True, we can’t see the soup lines; the soup lines are in the mail — 99 weeks of unemployment cheques for over 10 million jobless Americans. Don’t be lulled into the view that we are into anything remotely close to a normal economic cycle.

Basically, in a depression, secular changes take place. Attitudes towards debt, discretionary spending and homeownership are altered for many years, or at least until the scars from the traumatic experience with defaults and delinquencies fade away. That is why we saw existing home sales slide to 15- year lows and new home sales to record lows despite the fact that mortgage rates have tumbled to their lowest levels in modern history. There is no economic model that would tell you that declining mortgage rates should lead to lower home sales.

More fundamentally, in a recession, the economy is revived by government stimulus. In depressions, the economy is sustained by government stimulus. There is a very big difference between these two states.

In a recession, everything would be back to a new high nearly three years after the initial contraction in the economy. This time around, everything from organic personal income to employment to real GDP to home prices to corporate earnings to outstanding bank credit are still all below, to varying degrees, the levels prevailing in December 2007.

Let’s be clear: After all the monetary, fiscal and bailout stimulus, the economy should be roaring ahead, as would be the case if the economy were coming out of a normal garden-variety recession. The fact that there has been no sustained response to all these efforts by the government to turn things around is testament to the view that this is not actually a traditional recession at all, but something closely resembling a depression. That, my friends, is exactly what the bond market is signaling, with Treasury yields rapidly approaching Japanese levels. Just because the stock market embarked on a stimulus-led speculative two-year rally, which ended abruptly in April 2011— does not change that fact.

For all the chatter about whether the recession that started in December 2007 ended in mid-2009, here is what you should know about the historical record. The 1930s depression was not marked by declining quarterly GDP data every single quarter. In fact, the technical recessionary aspect to the initial period following the asset and credit shock goes from the third quarter of 1929 to the first quarter of 1933.

I can understand how emotional the debate can get over whether or not we have actually just stumbled along some post-recession recovery path or whether or not this is actually a depression in the sense of a downward trend in economic activity merely punctuated with noise that is influenced by recurring rounds of government intervention. The reality is that the Fed cut the funds rate to zero, as was the case in Japan, to little avail. Then the Fed tripled the size of its balance sheet— again with little sustained impetus to a broken financial system. Government deficits of nearly 10% relative to GDP, or double what FDR ever ran during the 1930s, have obviously fallen flat in terms of providing any lasting impact to the economy.

This is going to sound like a broken record but it took a decade of parabolic credit growth to get the U.S. economy into this deleveraging mess and there is clearly no painless “quick fix” towards bringing household debt into historical realignment with the level of assets and income to support the prevailing level of liabilities. We are talking about $5 trillion of excess debt that has to be extinguished either by paying it down or by walking away from it (or having it socialized). Look, we can understand the need to be optimistic, but it is essential that we recognize the type of market and economic backdrop we are in.

The markets are telling us something valuable when (after a period of unprecedented government bailouts, incursions and stimulus programs) the yield on the 5-year note is south of 1% and the 10-year is down to 2%. Instead of contemplating over how attractively priced equities must be in this environment, market strategists and commentators would bring a lot more to the table if they tried to decipher what the macro message is from this price action in the Treasury market. Conducting stock market valuation analysis based on unrealistic consensus earnings assumptions does nobody any good, especially when these estimates are in the process of being cut, and at a time when the Treasury market is telling us we are the precipice of another recession.

If the Treasury market is correct in its implicit assumption of a renewed contraction in the economy, then we could well be talking about corporate earnings being closer to $75 in 2011 as opposed to the current consensus view of over $110. In other words, we may wake up to find out a year from now that whoever was buying the market today under an illusion of a forward multiple of 10x was actually buying the market with a 15x multiple.

How’s that for a reality check?

This augers for capital preservation, defensive orientation in the equity market and a focus on income-yielding securities; something we’ve been advocating for some time.’

 


 

How American Taxpayers Could End Up Paying for ECB Liquidity Flood at The Wall Street Journal 

 

Company Analysts Hop On Bandwagon Of Gloom  [ Yes! This is in contradistinction to the ‘funny money’ bandwagon of irrational exuberance that has swept up nations worldwide who have now joined the ranks of the fraudulent american manipulated markets of ‘non-value’ asset / security pricing which will end quite badly as always! ] 

 

 

How Greece Is Mocking the Rest of the World  [ Well, let’s get real here! There’s plenty to mock in this world, and Greece is hardly the nation to be doing the mocking. I think it’s the markets that are mocking the rest of the world’s stupidity for buying into this false reality / obfuscation / fraud, particularly by way of the now pervasive worldwide acceptance of the american strategy of currency debasement which really is a fraud facilitator because it masks to all but the intelligent few the underlying economic weakness and decline. A simplistic example, though not perfect, is apropos here: a company sells a product for 1 dollar which costs 1 dollar to make (assuming arguendo to cover fixed expenses - no profit). The fed over-printing / creating dollars like mad to the point where it now takes 2 dollars to render the same purchasing power of  1 dollar when the goods were produced. The company sells the products for 2 dollars (the previous equivalent of 1 dollar before debasement). The company is now showing earnings 1 dollar per unit sold, yet in real terms, they’ve gotten no more than the equivalent of that 1 dollar per unit. (If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, particularly the last 1-2 months, I’ve found meats, etc., to be up 50-100%, etc.). The same obfuscating manipulations are applicable to assets generally, and to those pieces of paper called stocks which are even ‘worse for the wear’ since churn-and-earn commissions at lightning computerized speed are being subtracted from this illusory ‘enhanced value’ which in reality doesn’t exist at all. ( Such manipulations from currency translation also provide ‘arbitrage opportunities’ though similarly largely ultimately subtracted from no real value being created. ) This is why fraudulent wall street loves the fed’s QE’s and dollar debasement / over-printing / creating and also why it’s been a dismal failure and a net negative in real economic terms as seen on main street and in the desimation of the middle class and growing ranks of the poor. In the analysis of securities, this would be considered ‘the quality of earnings factor’ that goes into the assignment of a p/e multiple to the projected earnings. Sufficeth to say, this is no longer done on wall street in any real or legitimate fashion if at all. Indeed, it’s a fair statement to say that security analysis is no longer a ‘practice’ as same was considered, once upon a time, by value investors / analysts. As set forth by Dave and Cooper, infra, computerized programmed manipulation at lightning speed has been expedient in the short run for the wall street frauds but ultimately leads to the inevitable crash since as I often reiterate:  Remember, 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. They’re just not that important and represent, like termites eating away at the nation’s foundation, a drag on the economy, the nation as one would expect from parasites such as they are’. What to Expect Next From the Markets Minyanville  Jeffrey Cooper ‘Conclusion: It looks like a program was run using the least amount of dollars to goose the indices by focusing on some big cap names like Apple, Amazon, Baidu, IBM, and Caterpillar,  Dave’s Daily:’.. The HAL 9000s have been doing business as HFTs (High Frequency Traders) launching many buy or sell programs using complex algorithms which can drive prices on indexes higher or lower in dramatic fashion. One of their great acts is called "quote stuffing". It's another illegal activity which the SEC hasn't quite figured out. It's as futile for them as the illegal fee-driven recent end-of-quarter price jam-job..’.      Simon Maierhofer, On Friday September 16, 2011, ‘Webster's dictionary defines gullible as naive and easily duped or cheated'.

On Thursday stocks rallied after Germany and France gave assurance that Greece will remain a member of the euro.

Haven't we been down this road before? How often have there been statements assuring that Greece is fine or will be fine? An Associated Press article stated this week that: 'Hopes were raised by the outcome of a teleconference Wednesday between leaders of France, Germany and Greece.'

Hope worked as propaganda tool for President Obama three years ago, but hope is not a suitable investment strategy. Einstein's famous definition of insanity comes to mind: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Since the beginning of 2010 there have been five 10%+ sell offs. All of them, with the exception of the March 2011 decline (Japan earthquake), were blamed on Greece. When stocks recovered, it was credited to Greece's rigorous adherence to the demanded austerity measures or new bailout money.

The S&P has made no net progress since January 2010. After two years of water treading and lessons in Greek-style financial mockery we have to ask, is Wall Street insane?

Greece's Prime Minister George Papandreou just pledged that a reform program would be on the top of Thursday's (yesterday) Greek cabinet meeting. To buy stocks based on a pledge to push a concern that was initially sold as non-issue but has morphed into a matter of survival on the top of an agenda does seem insane.

Or should we just consider the Greeks geniuses? After all, they have figured out how to control Wall Street. Today it only takes mythical Grecian hope for a hopefully hopeful outcome to excite Wall Street.

A German saying may describe Greece's situation. Loosely translated, it goes like this: Once your reputation is ruined, you may live blatantly uninhibited.

Insane Financial Pain

The Greek saga began over two years ago, when, on June 23, 2009, Greece's finance minister nonchalantly disclosed that: 'The rate of growth for the Greek economy in 2009 is expected to slow more than forecasted. Specifically, it will range around zero and only return to growth in 2010.' The disclosed budget deficit at the time was $3.1 billion.

Growth obviously didn't return in 2010, but the following headlines all offered hope in 2010:

ECB member says no bailouts for Greece

Bulls run on Greece news

Debtors bet Greece won't spill

Is Greece's crisis over?

Greece contagion fears unfounded

IMF approved $3.3 billion for Greece amid impressive fiscal adjustment

If Greece's adjustment was that impressive, why are we still talking about Greece?

Small Fish in the Debt Pond

Greece has made quite a splash but it is just a small fish in the European debt pond. Given some more time, we'll probably find out that bigger fish make bigger splashes. Next in line are Portugal, Spain, Italy and France. In terms of size, this is probably like comparing a goldfish with a tuna.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that: 'European banks are cutting back on dollar denominated loans, a troublesome sign of credit contraction at a time when American and European economies can least afford it.' Credit contraction is the mother of deflation and Bernanke's most feared enemy.

The Chairman of Societe Generale, one of France's largest banks, made it a point to state on Monday that the bank was well funded. Nevertheless, it will be reducing its dollar denominated debt and lay off workers. When promises conflict actions, we know that actions speak louder than words. Laying off workers is not confidence inspiring.

Back in February, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter warned that: 'The debt problem of sovereign European countries has or is about to turn into a debt problem of super sovereign entities. The IMF and EU swallowing up massive amounts of debt has not eliminated debt, it has merely re- shuffled and concentrated it.'

On July 15, I stated via ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter: 'I know European stocks will tank eventually but I don't know when. However, I see that the iShares MSCI EAFA ETF (NYSEArca: EFA - News) just sliced below it's 20, 50 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). The same is true for the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca: EEM - News). The high reward, low risk trade would be to go short EFA or EEM with a stop loss just above the 200-day SMA Corresponding ETFs are Short MSCI EAFE ProShares (NYSEArca: EFZ - News) and Short MSCI Emerging Markets ProShares (NYSEArca: EUM - News).

What's Next?

Fortunately the European Union can rely on the smarts of its many capable members. There is former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn who'd rather force his will on an innocent Manhattan hotel worker than enforce strict financial rules on member countries, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker who openly confesses to lying if required by circumstances and a whole slew of officials suffering from gullibility. You should think twice before betting against the European financial dream team.

As for me, I rely on technicals, not on officials, their decisions or the media's interpretation of it. The technicals I focus on are those of the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC). Not surprisingly, European stocks have generally moved in the same direction as the S&P.

The S&P and the SPDR Euro STOXX 50 ETF (NYSEArca: FEZ - News) both topped on May 2. The S&P's top came right on queue and within the 1,369 - 1,382 target range of a major market top I've outlined via the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter since early 2011.

Unlike the S&P, FEZ sunk to new lows on September 12. On that day FEZ was 38% below its May 2 high. Some more near-term damage may be to come for European stocks, but after a 38% haircut is not the time to double up on short positions.

As far as the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) is concerned, new lows are likely…’

 

Citi Cuts S&P 500 Target, Too at The Wall Street Journal

 

Lesson From A Burst Bubble: Dead Men Don't Spend at Forbes ‘The Lehman bankruptcy was a much more important event than 9/11. It marked the end of a 60-year credit expansion. Maybe it marked the high water mark for the U.S. empire, too, and the beginning of the end for the U.S. dollar-based world monetary system.

What’s most remarkable about this post-Lehman economy is that it is so un-remarkable. The economy is contracting, and as it contracts, it squeezes jobs, incomes, spending and prices.

We saw a note in the press yesterday. It told us that even the wages of sin are falling. The union that represents waiters and cocktail servers at Atlantic City casinos says the hourly base has fallen from $8.74 to only $4.50. And tips are tumbling. Surveys of prostitutes show their earnings are a bit limp, too.

And as people get squeezed by the financial correction, they gasp for breath. There are now 46.2 million people in America under the poverty line, according to The Los Angeles Times. That’s the most in 50 years.

But nothing extraordinary about that either. This is the biggest correction in half a century too. And you don’t have to look very far to find more confirmation.

That’s why the 10-year Treasury note yield has fallen to the lowest level since right after WWII, and it’s why nearly half the people looking for a job have been looking for more than six months. And it’s why a recent poll shows that 72% of Americans think the nation is going to hell.

Now, finally, almost everyone realizes that this is not a recession-recovery situation. Something else is going on. The Financial Times calls it a Great Recession. Richard Koo calls it a “Balance Sheet Recession.” And David Rosenberg says we should call it what it really is — a “modern depression.”

But we’ll stick with our Great Correction label. Because we think there is more going on here than even a ‘depression’ describes. (About which…more below…).

So far, practically everything that has happened is about what you’d expect — the predictable, ordinary consequences of a contraction. There is nothing remarkable about it.

But what’s this? The Dow is back on the rise. Stock market investors don’t seem to have gotten the message: this economy is in a contraction. They’re still pricing stocks as if they thought the underlying businesses would grow. But companies don’t add sales or profits in a contraction.

At least gold investors seem to have a better idea of what is going on. They sold the yellow metal.  The price of the GLD is dropping.

And the bond market too has its feet on the ground. The yield on the 10-year note is only 2.08%. That is a level consistent with a Japanese-style slump…

No surprises here. But what if there were more going on than a simple financial correction…even a correction of a 60-year credit expansion? What if the Great Correction were greater than we thought? More ambitious, more aggressive and more dangerous?

In the space of the last 500 years the human population grew approximately 1000%. If it were a financial chart, you’d look at it and think — ‘uh oh…it’s a bubble.’

What if we were approaching a correction?

Reuters reports that the population of Japan is falling like a stone. Some 20 million Japanese are expected to disappear in the next 30 years.

Declining, graying populations are not what you need for economic growth. Old people don’t spend much. Dead people spend even less.

As a result, the economy shrivels up like a 90-year-old. In Japan today about the only business still growing is the funeral business. People spend $157 to rent cold rooms, where they can store their loved ones while they await a spot at the crematorium. No kidding. Here’s Reuters:

Annual deaths are expected to peak at 1.66 million in 2040 as the bulk of the nation’s baby boomer generation expires. By then, Japan’s population will have shrunk by around 20 million people, an unprecedented die off for a nation neither at war or blighted by famine.

Dead Men Don’t Spend by Bill Bonner originally appeared in the Daily Reckoning. ‘

 

 

ETFs have potential to become the next toxic scandal Sep 19th, 2011 News (The Telegraph) — Back in April, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), an international super-regulator, wrote a prescient if less than catchily-titled paper “Potential financial stability issues arising from recent trends in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)”.Its central warning – that ETFs are not the cheap and transparent vehicles the marketers would have us believe – was spot on. When UBS’s $2bn black hole hit the screens on Thursday, no one who read the FSB report was surprised to see the words ETF and rogue trader in the same sentence…around half of the ETFs in Europe today do not match the index they are designed to track by holding all of its constituent shares. Unlike the plain vanilla “full replication” ETFs which do, 45pc of the market is in the form of so-called “swap-based” ETFs which instead use derivative agreements, often with investment banks, to simulate the performance of the underlying assets. Derivative trades add a second layer of uncertainty to the unavoidable ups and downs of the market, the counterparty risk that the organisation on the other side of the contract might go bust. Even worse, the provider of the ETF might sometimes be a part of the same organisation as the derivatives desk carrying out the swap…For reasons which I’m not sure I could explain even if I had the space, it is possible for the number of shares sold short in an ETF to massively exceed the actual number of shares available.

4 'Invisible' Forces to Seal the Market's Fate ETFguide Simon Maierhofer, On Monday September 19, 2011, ‘In 2004, Daniel Simons of the University of Illinois and Christopher Chabris of Harvard University conducted an experiment that was as simple as it was fascinating.

If you want to be part of the experiment, watch this video before you read any further.

The Experiment

There are two groups of three people each. One group is wearing black shirts, the other group white shirts. The assignment is to watch how many times the players wearing white, pass the basketball.

If you counted 15, you are correct. But more importantly, did you notice the gorilla? While you were counting passes, a woman dressed in a gorilla suit walked slowly across the scene, stopped to face the camera and thumped her chest.

Half of the people watching the video with the intent of counting passes did not see the gorilla. The experiment illustrates the phenomenon of unintentional blindness. This condition, also known as perceptual blindness, prevents people from perceiving things that are in plain sight.

For most of 2010-11 Wall Street was so enamored by the magical powers of QE2 that it forgot about the 800-pound gorilla - the economy that wasn't improving. In fact, the economy continued deteriorating in plain sight.

There are five bearish mega trends that may draw stock prices much lower over the coming years. Here are the five mega trends (and what will make stocks rally in between).

U.S. Deficit

For a moment, take a mental journey with me back in time. We are now in early 2008. The major indexes a la S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI), and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) are slowly coming off their all-time high and the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) is reflecting some complacency before the collapse of Lehman Brothers hits the news.

Unbeknownst to most, the perfect financial storm is brewing. Once the storm hits, it is much worse than anyone expected. But, the eventual damage is limited. Why? Because, the government steps up and does what it takes to prevent the financial system from failing.

Today has the feel of early 2008. Another perfect storm may be brewing. Will the government be there to do what it takes to support 'too big to fail?' No! In 2008 financial companies were in trouble. In 2011 entire countries (look at Europe and the U.S.) are struggling to escape the grip of delinquency.

A Decelerating Generation

Starting in 2011, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day will turn 65, a pattern that will continue for the next 19 years. This dry humor cartoon encapsulates the problem retirees' face today:

Two older gentlemen are having a drink. One says: 'As a Baby Boomer, I never thought the boom would be the sound of my retirement accounts collapsing.' He'd like to sip on a nice Scotch while enjoying a steak, but has to settle for water and free bread sticks at Olive Garden.

Most retirees still haven't recovered from the lost decade. Let's make the term lost decade more personal. A 55 year old with $100,000 in his retirement account at the beginning of the year 2000 and a 6% projected rate of return, would have $201,419 today.

The S&P trades 20% below its 2000 level. Courtesy of the lost decade, that $100,000 in the year 2000 has turned into $80,000 today (perhaps less if invested too aggressively). In other words, many retirees may have to get by on less than half of their expected nest egg. In addition, their home, rather than being an asset (many considered it an ATM a few years ago), has turned into a liability.

It doesn't take much imagination to see that strapped retirees are bad for economic growth. When the focus is on survival rather than pleasure, sectors like technology (NYSEArca: XLK - News), retail (NYSEArca: XRT - News), and consumer discretionary (NYSEArca: XLY - News) suffer.

In addition, baby boomers that have been buying stocks for decades (think of all the 401k money) are now turning into sellers of stock.

Low Interest Rates

Low interest rates are great for the U.S. government because it reduces debt payments on Treasuries and businesses wanting to expand. Unfortunately, businesses don't feel like expanding or even hiring and for pretty much everyone else low interest rates are negative.

Some try to sell the idea that low interest rates are good for stocks (NYSEArca: VTI - News) because money will flow from low interest bonds into stocks in an effort to get a better return.

The chart below plots the Nikkei against Japan's version of the discount rate. The discount rate has been below 1% since 1995. At the same time the Nikkei has dropped from above 20,000 to below 10,000. Much of this happened during a raging global bull market. Imagine what a global bear market can do to U.S. stocks.

                   https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20japan%20discount.gif  

Low interest rates are a double negative because they reduce available spending for retirees who need to get as much income as possible to survive.

Coming to a Head

The above three bearish trends were highlighted in detail in various 2011 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletters. Due to those, and other mega trends, the Newsletter has been expecting a major market top.

For much of 2011 however, the expectation of a major market top was postponed until the ideal target range was reached. The April 3 ETF Profit Strategy update included a precise range for a major market top: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions. '

Why was S&P 1,369 - 1,382 a candidate for a reversal of historic proportions? The chart below, published by the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter in March and many times since, has the answer.

                   https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif

What you see is a giant M, or head and shoulders top. The right shoulder was made up of the parallel trend channel that connects the 2002 and 2009 low, with the 2000 high. In April/May the upper line of the trend channel ran through 1,377. Additional resistance was provided by Fibonacci levels at 1,389 and 1,369.

On May 2, the S&P briefly spiked as high as 1,370.58 before retreating and eventually dropping 18% in twelve trading days (July 25 - August 9). Once the S&P dropped below the 200-day SMA it entered free fall territory…’

IMF downgrades outlook for US and Europe economies [Sep 20, 2011] ... Fund has sharply downgraded its outlook for the U.S. economy through 2012 ...  http://finance.yahoo.com/news/IMF-downgrades-outlook-for-US-apf-1240337037.html?x=0



Market Recap: S&P Downgrades Italy, Housing Starts Tumble, Markets Wait on Bernanke   Wall St Cheat Sheet  September 20, 2011, Markets closed mixed on Wall Street today: Dow +0.07% , S&P -0.17% , Nasdaq -0.86% , Oil +1.39% , Gold +1.65% .

On the commodities front, Oil climbed to $86.89 a barrel. Precious metals also climbed, with Gold rising to $1,808.30 an ounce while Silver climbed 1.95% to $39.93 an ounce.

Hot Feature: European Central Banks Are Hungry for Gold

Today’s markets were mixed because:

1) Italy. Standard & Poor’s cut Italy’s credit rating late Monday by one level to A from A+, citing weak economic growth and criticizing Rome’s response to the debt crisis. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi responded, saying that the move was influenced by “political considerations” and media stories rather than economic reality. Markets quickly shrugged off the news, with major indices in Italy, Germany, and London all opening higher this morning.

2) Bernanke. Goldman Sachs provided a preview of what investors could see tomorrow from the Federal Reserve, saying there is a “high probability that the FOMC will announce further easing steps at the conclusion of this week’s meeting.” Goldman went on to say that Operation Twist looks “very likely” and that, “As a complementary measure, we also expect that the committee will announce a cut in the interest on excess reserves (IOER) rate to 0.1% from 0.25%, although this is a much closer call. An IOER cut would lower market interest rates a small amount and could aid communication.” The expectation of good news buoyed markets despite a day full of negative or at least neutral economic data, and had the major indices climbing high in mid-day, though they’ve since declined toward more reasonable levels, given that the IMF announced today that it had lowered its global economic forecast for 2011 and 2012, with growth in Europe and the U.S. stalling.

3) Housing. Both housing starts and completions declined in August from already depressed numbers, according to a monthly report by the Department of Urban Housing and Development, in conjunction with the U.S. Census Bureau. However, building permits increased last month, which means more projects are likely to start within the next six months. The news had building stocks climbing higher, including Toll Brothers , D.R. Horton , KB Home , PulteGroup , Hovnanian Enterprises , and The Ryland Group all outperforming the major indices.

Signs The Perfect Economic Storm Is Coming | www.bullfax.com  http://www.bullfax.com/?q=node-signs-perfect-economic-storm-coming  09/22/2011 By Michael T. Snyder: ‘The financial world is officially going crazy. Can you believe what is going on out there right now? Financial markets have been jumping up and down like crazy for months and this is creating a lot of fear. Other than during the financial crisis of 2008, in the post-World War II era have we ever experienced as much financial instability as we are seeing right now? Should we just accept that massive financial instability is going to be part of "the new normal" in the financial world? The wild swings that we are witnessing in the global financial marketplace are making a whole lot of people very nervous right at the moment. When markets go up, they tend to do it slowly and steadily. When markets go down, a lot of times it can happen very rapidly. Also, as I have mentioned before, more major stock market crashes happen during…The following is from an article that was recently posted on MarketWatch....

The insiders have vanished.

Chief executives. Board members. The head honchos. The people who know. Just a few weeks ago, they were out in force, buying up shares in their own companies with both hands. No longer. They’ve disappeared. Almost overnight. “They’ve stopped buying,” says Charles Biderman, the chief executive of stock market research firm TrimTabs, which tracks the data.

For some reason, this almost always starts happening before a crash. So obviously this is not a good sign.

A lot of normal investors have been pulling large amounts of money out of stocks as well. The following is from a report in the Financial Post....

Investors have pulled more money from U.S. equity funds since the end of April than in the five months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., adding to the $2.1 trillion rout in American stocks.

About $75 billion was withdrawn from funds that focus on shares during the past four months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from the Investment Company Institute, a Washington-based trade group, and EPFR Global, a research firm in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Outflows totaled $72.8 billion from October 2008 through February 2009, following Lehman’s bankruptcy, the data show.

Are you starting to get the picture?

Not only that, but a third very troubling sign is that an extraordinary number of bets have been placed against the S&P 500. As I noted the other day, if there is a stock market crash in the next few weeks, somebody is going to make a ton of money....

We are seeing an amazing number of bets against the S&P 500 right now. According to CNN, the number of bets against the S&P 500 rose to the highest level in a year last month. But that was nothing compared to what we are seeing for October. The number of bets against the S&P 500 for the month of October is absolutely astounding. Somebody is going to make a monstrous amount of money if there is a stock market crash next month.

It doesn't take a genius to see all the dark financial clouds that are gathering on the horizon.

And all of the bad news that is constantly coming out of Europe is certainly not helping things. For example, yesterday S&P slashed the credit ratings of seven different Italian banks.

Credit downgrades have become so frequent that we hardly even notice them anymore. Pessimism is everywhere right now. Suddenly it seems like almost everyone is predicting that another "recession" is coming....

  • According to a recent Harvard Business Review survey, 70 percent of global business leaders believe that a global recession is "somewhat likely" or "very likely" in the coming months.
  • Economist Nouriel Roubini says that we are "already in recession".
  • When asked by CNBC what he thought about the possibility of another recession, George Soros said the following the other day:“I think we are in it already.”..’

 

Portfolio Insights by Brett Arends Sept. 21, 2011 Brett Arends, MarketWatch BOSTON (MarketWatch) — ‘Something ominous is happening on Wall Street, but nobody has noticed. The insiders have vanished. Chief executives. Board members. The head honchos. The people who know. Just a few weeks ago, they were out in force, buying up shares in their own companies with both hands. No longer. They’ve disappeared. Almost overnight. “They’ve stopped buying,” says Charles Biderman, the chief executive of stock market research firm TrimTabs, which tracks the data. “Insiders aren’t buying this rally.” Insider stock purchases, which surged above $100 million a day in the market slump last month, have now collapsed to just $13 million a day. Meanwhile the ratio of insider sales to purchases has skyrocketed. Today insiders are dumping $7 in stock for each $1 that (other) insiders are buying. That’s a worrying ratio. Six weeks ago the amounts of purchases and sales were about equal. It’s the kind of news that should give investors pause. What insiders do with their own money is one of the stock market’s best barometers. After all, who better than company executives know their own order books? Who knows the conditions in their industry better? You find insiders typically buying heavily at the market lows — they did in 1987, in 1998, and they did during the financial crisis in 2008-9. (You also typically find them cashing out big-time at the peak). ‘

 

MARKETS DESTROYED AROUND THE WORLD: Here's What You Need To KnowBusiness Insider

 

The Real Reason Behind the Market's Meltdown  Simon Maierhofer, On Thursday September 22, 2011, 11:01 pm

Was it just bad timing or did the Fed cause this two-day market meltdown?

Since Bernanke spoke yesterday the S&P (SNP: ^GSPC) lost as much as 80 points, nearly 7%. The Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) shed about 700 points, the Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) 150 points and the financial sector (NYSEArca: XLF - News) tumbled 7.7%. The VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) soared over 25%.

No doubt the Fed seems to have lost the touch that made QE2 a temporary 'success' (if success is measured exclusively by stock prices).

Bad Timing

But quite frankly, the timing of 'Operation Twist' was just plain bad. The market's fate was sealed even before Bernanke stepped on stage. Already back in August the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter highlighted seven reasons why new lows are likely between September 6 and September 28.

In a special pre-FOMC announcement update on Tuesday night, the Newsletter confirmed its bearish outlook and recommended to short the S&P as soon as it breaks below 1,191. Why 1,191? Because it was important support composed of this week's pivot, Fibonacci support, the 20-day moving average and Monday's low.

Here are six reasons why new lows were likely and where and why stocks will bounce.

A Major M-Pattern (or Head-and Shoulders) Top

Since early 2011 the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter has been expecting a major market top. The chart below shows a bearish multi-decade M-pattern (or sloppy head-and shoulders). The key question was were the right side of the 'M' would end.

The chart below was featured in an April 5 update along with the following commentary: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

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

RSI Divergence

There is one striking similarity between the October/November 2008, March 2009 and May/June/July 2010 lows. In all three cases the S&P reached an initial price low accompanied by an RSI (relative strength indicator) low. However, a more lasting low was not reached until the S&P recorded a new price low against higher RSI reading.

In other words there had to be a divergence between the S&P and RSI. The S&P and RSI both recorded their initial low on August 9. Now we are waiting for a new S&P low while RSI stays above its August 9 reading.

Seasonality

August, September, and October is the most bearish stretch of the year. September and October sport negative performance even in the pre-election year.

Sentiment

From S&P 1,370 on May 2 to S&P 1,258 on June 16, the S&P shed 112 points and sentiment measured by Investors Intelligence (II) and the American Association for Individual Investors (AAII) turned deeply bearish. The June 16 ETF Profit Strategy   update took that as a queue to buy (long positions were closed at S&P 1,340).

From S&P 1,353 on July 7 to S&P 1,102 on August 9 the S&P lost 251 points, yet the II sentiment poll registered the second most bullish reading since the first week of May. AAII and II polls are often considered the 'dumb money.' If the 'dumb money' views last Wednesday's low as a buying opportunity, the 'smart money' should be suspicious.

VIX Pattern

If you have the charting capabilities, take a moment and plot the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) against the S&P for the month of September - November 2008 and April - July 2010. If you don't have the time you may simply look at the chart below.

                                    https://www.etfguide.com/images/PDNewsletter_Images/yahoo%20-%20vix%20pattern.gif

What What we've seen in 2008 and 2010 is that a VIX peak did not coincide with the S&P bottom. The S&P bottom actually occurred against a lower VIX reading. If this pattern continues, we will see lower lows.

The August 14 ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter update includes a detailed analysis of the VIX pattern, along with the time frame and target level for an expected turn.

The Script

Via more or less accidental chart surfing, I found a striking resemblance between the 2007 market top and the May 2011 top.  This moved me to state in the July 17 Profit Strategy update that:

'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.'

The S&P sliced through that trend line on August 4 and fell an additional 12% within the next four days. A deeper analysis of this chart parallel also suggests new lows.

The Outlook

The market's performance over the last couple of days has validated the studies above. We are now waiting for new lows…’

 

 

Market Recap: China Falters, Banks Exposed, and Fed Causes Market to Plummet Wall St. Cheat Sheet, September 22, 2011, Hot Feature: U.S. Home Prices Down 3.3%Today’s markets were down because:1) Fed. Markets plummeted today following dire remarks on the economy from the Federal Reserve. The news of slowing growth also pushed most commodities lower, including oil, gold, and silver, while only Treasuries moved higher as investors sought one of the few safe havens left. The Fed’s announcement of Operation Twist yesterday failed to instill much confidence in the economy, and few think the measures will be enough to reverse the economic downswing over the last few months. After all the anticipation leading up to the Fed’s decision, investors were left with the understanding that not even the Fed has the power to turn this thing around. 2) China. Through all the economic turmoil that has engulfed the globe over the last few years, China has been the one shining beacon of progress and growth. However, despite the fact that China’s economy is still on track to grow 8.5% to 9% this year, its manufacturing sector has been contracting for the last three months now, according to HSBC’s manufacturing PMI. There was a lot of concern over China because heretofore it’s been the one pocket of unstoppable strength in the global economy,” said Paul Larson, chief equity strategist at Morningstar. “If that stops and China becomes a drag on worldwide growth, it could have big implications here in the U.S.” News that China might not be as infallible as once though had a host of popular Chinese stocks plummeting today, including shares of Sohu.com , Youku.com , RenRen , Sina Corp. , and Baidu.com , which fell nearly 11% today.3) Banks. After Moody’s downgraded some of the nation’s top banks yesterday, investors are growing worried about the financial industry’s exposure to the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Not only were Bank of America , Wells Fargo , and Citigroup continuing to slide today after Moody’s downgraded them, citing the unlikelihood that the government will step in should the financial sector find itself in a similar situation to that of 2008, but the entire sector fell on concerns that Moody’s was right. Barclays , JPMorgan , Goldman Sachs , and Morgan Stanley were all heavy drags on the markets today. European banks were trading sharply lower for the same reason, with France’s SocGen and Credit Agricole falling 9.5% each, while Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse also underperformed the markets.

Fed vs Market - Will Selling Pressure Overpower Operation Twist?   Simon Maierhofer, September 23, 2011, The Fed just unleashed a $400 billion package to boost the economy. To say the market didn't react favorably would be an understatement.

The Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSEArca: XLF - News) greeted the program with an 8% haircut. The S&P (SNP: ^GSPC), Dow Jones (DJI: ^DJI) and Nasdaq (Nasdaq: ^IXIC) fell 4-6%. On the bright side, the yield of the 10-Year T-Note dropped another 0.242%, from one all-time low to the next.

Will 'Operation Twist' buoy stocks or will the market overpower the Fed's half-hearted effort? Believe it or not, but after some more suffering, I believe the Fed will eventually reap some (temporary) credit for this stick save (more about that in a moment).

Bernanke Must be Surprised

In his February 9, 2011 speech before the U.S. House of Representatives, Ben Bernanke was quick to take credit for the results of QE2: 'Since then (the onset of QE2), equity prices have risen significantly, volatility in the equity market has fallen. All of these developments are what one would expect to see when monetary policy becomes more accommodative.'

On February 9, the S&P closed at 1,320, the VIX (Chicago Options: ^VIX) at 15.87. Today the S&P is 13% lower while the VIX has soared a stunning 160%. Bernanke's credibility has tumbled somewhere between 13 and 160%.

Contrary to Bernanke's upbeat outlook, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter published the following chart just a week after Bernanke's comfy cozy assessment of QE2 and the stock market's reaction.

                       https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20M%20pattern.gif

The chart shows a giant bearish head-and shoulders or M-pattern. At the time, the Newsletter projected a market top at 1,382 - 1,385. The April 4 ETF Profit Strategy update refined the target range: 'In terms of resistance levels, the 1,369 - 1,382 range is a strong candidate for a reversal of potentially historic proportions.'

Sleep in the Bed You Made

Operation Twist - the Fed's latest concoction - became necessary because QE2 didn't stick. Banks (NYSEArca: KBE - News) graciously accepted the generous $600 billion donation, but despite the huge cash infusion, the Banking Index today trades 22% below its November 3, 2010 prices,  when QE2 was launched.

Will Operation Twist be More 'Successful' than QE2?

QE2 created $600 billion out of thin air while Operation Twist merely changes the maturities of the Fed's existing balance sheet.

Over the next nine months the Fed will sell $400 billion worth of short-term (3 years or less) Treasuries and use the proceeds to buy maturities ranging from 6 - 30 years. Maturing mortgage-backed securities (MBS) will be re-investing in MBS, not in Treasuries.

If you are wondering how this approach of transferring money from the left to the right pant pockets makes a difference, you've already found the reason for the post FOMC-announcement meltdown.

Wall Street considered the proposal half-hearted and the stated goal of lowering long-term interests unnecessary, especially considering that the yield on the 10-Year T-Note is already at a multi-decade low.

Range bound Trading with a Purpose

From July 21 - August 8 the S&P lost nearly 250 points. Nevertheless, the August 8 TF made clear that there will be another low and stated that: 'One of the conditions for a market bottom is lower lows against improving breadth. Breadth was horrible today and no lasting low was reached. What generally tends to happen within a major sell off is a period of time where stocks take a breather followed by the final leg down. This final leg sports lower prices but improving breadth.'

Support at 1,121 held and the S&P was due for a 'breather period.' The back and forth of the recent weeks qualifies as just that. It also shows that there's a method behind the market's madness.

Range bound trading lulls investors into a false sense of security and makes traders gun shy before pulling the proverbial rug out from underneath them.

In a special Tuesday's pre-FOMC decision update, the ETF Profit Strategy Newsletter pointed out that the down side risk remains much bigger than the up side potential and that the direction for XLF is down as long as it doesn't move above the 20-day SMA at 12.70 and last week's high at 13.04.

Connoisseurs of technical analysis will find the following chart of interest. The update brought out that percentR (a measure of relative strength) moved above 80 for the first time since late July. The chart below (featured in Tuesday's update) showed what happened the last two times percentR moved above 80 - stocks dropped.

                                             https://www.etfguide.com//contributor/UserFiles/8/Image/yahoo%20-%20spx%209%2020%2011.gif  

The actionable recommendation given was for aggressive investors to go short with a break below 1,191. Selling accelerated as soon as the S&P broke through the support at 1,191 and didn't stop until the S&P reached support at 1,121.

There were seven other reasons why I expected new lows (see August 14 and 21 update for a concise summary), one of them is seasonality. August, September, October is a bearish time of year, even during Presidential election years…’

Taken to Task: ‘Free Market’ Champions Go Begging for Bailouts (Reprise)The Daily Ticker Aaron Task ‘Financial markets tumbled this week amid disappointment the Fed didn't do more and general disgust with the lack of action from European policymakers.

Which brings us to another installment of Taken to Task.

For all the talk about how traders love the free market and believe in the principles of unfettered capitalism, the folks on Wall Street can't seem to get enough of government bailouts.

After Ben Bernanke pledged to spend $400 billion on Operation Twist this week, I heard many more complaints about how the Fed didn't do ENOUGH vs. any chatter about how they've gone too far, are out of bullets and pushing on a string. That's so "first-half of 2011" before the stock market turned south, that is. (See: Fed Action Fails To Boost Animal Spirits: "Marginally Helpful," Says Former Fed Governor)

It seems the bold champions of free markets on Wall Street only like laissez faire capitalism when the markets are RISING.

This weekend, traders are hoping for some plan — ANY plan — to deal with Greece, whether it comes from the ECB, the IMF, the World Bank, Poseidon or Zeus. But nobody seems to be wishing to just let the chips fall where they may. Haircuts for bondholders? Write-downs for banks? Egads! The pain must be avoided at all costs! (See: Apocalypse Now? Markets Tumble as Europe Approaches "Tipping Point")

Of course, a generation of traders has been conditioned to believe the Fed — or some other institution — will come riding to their rescue if things get really dicey, or even just a little bit uncomfortable. So we can't blame them for taking on too much unhedged risk and (not-so) secretly hoping for yet another bailout, can we?

Just like there are no atheists in foxholes, the really are no libertarians on Wall Street. The only ideology traders believe in is making money and if that means more government intervention, bring it on! Someday, maybe, we'll get back to something approaching a free market. But if such a thing ever really existed, it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.’

The Standard & Poor’s GSCI Index of 24 commodities fell to a nine-month low today. Gold has dropped 15 percent since reaching a record $1,923.70 an ounce on Sept. 6.“Gold has become the source of liquidity for global margin calls,” said Michael A. Gayed, the chief investment strategist at Pension Partners LLC. “Also, deflationary pressures are acting on gold.” PG View: We’ve seen very strong physical buying interest on this retreat.

The statement followed a day in which the equity markets suffered some of the biggest falls since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008, as investors rushed to safety in a widespread sell-off.“We commit to take all necessary actions to preserve the stability of banking systems and financial markets as required,” the group said in a statement. “We will ensure that banks are adequately capitalised and have sufficient access to funding to deal with current risks and that they fully implement Basel III along the agreed timelines.”[source]

Split opens over Greek bail-out terms Sep 27th, 2011 15:37  News (Financial Times) — A split has opened in the eurozone over the terms of Greece’s second €109bn bail-out with as many as seven of the bloc’s 17 members arguing for private creditors to swallow a bigger writedown on their Greek bond holdings, according to senior European officials.The divisions have emerged amid mounting concerns that Athens’ funding needs are much bigger than estimated just two months ago. They threaten to unpick a painfully negotiated deal reached with private sector bond holders in July.…Because of the recent economic downturn and Greece’s slow implementation of austerity measures, officials estimate Athens’ funding needs over the next three years have grown beyond the €172bn forecast this summer.[source]

PG View: Missed numbers out of Greece? Say it isn’t so. How far beyond €172 bln are we talking here? Does any number they give have any meaning? The funding needs when the last deal was cut back 0n 21-Jul where €109 bln, since then Greece’s needs have exploded about 60%…or more! No sane investor would throw more money into this sinkhole of unknowns.

 

SHILLER: House Prices Probably Won’t Hit Bottom For Years Sep 27th, 2011  News (BusinessInsider) — The July numbers for the most widely followed measure of house prices, the S&P/Case-Shiller Index, were released this morning.The numbers weren’t terrible–on a seasonally adjusted basis, July was basically the same as June–but one of the creators of the index, Professor Robert Shiller of Yale University, isn’t taking much solace in them.The economy has deteriorated significantly since July, Professor Shiller observes, and he suspects that the housing market has followed suit.[source]

Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) [ Of course Mr. Hulbert is correct in pointing out the folly of what’s causing the meltdown. Indeed, he might even borrow from the homespun wisdom of the mama of that stellar investigatigative reporter, formerly of SNL fame, Rosanne Rosanna Dana, who reminds us ‘ It’s always somethin’ ‘ . Indeed, Rosanne; it is always somethin’… just not the somethin’ that the frauds on wall street et als say it is. The fact is the markets are grossly over-valued courtesy of a myriad of fraudulent tools; from computer-prgrammed high-frequency trade churn-and-earn scams, to ever more worthless funny money, to blatant misrepresentation / fudged numbers, etc.. Will you be left holding their worthless bag of hot potatoes? Will you be their fool … again … in this suckers’ market? ]  — ‘Greece ate my homework. Not only that, if you believe the financial headlines, Greece is responsible for almost every financial ill that has beset the investment arena over the last 18 months. I say it’s time the headline writers came up with a new story to “explain” what’s happening to the stock market.

Consider last week, for example, when investors’ concern about a possible Greek default supposedly caused the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +1.33%   to lose 738 points and the combined market capitalizations of all publicly traded stocks in the U.S. to lose $865 billion.
How could Greece have been the cause of that, when Greece’s total sovereign debt (counting both government debt and from the country’s monetary authorities) amounts to $393 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund? It doesn’t make sense, even if Greece’s debt were completely owed to U.S. banks — which it most definitely is not.

Blaming Greece makes even less sense when we focus on more than just the last week. Since the stock market high this spring, for example, U.S. stocks have lost approximately $2.5 trillion in market cap. Once again, the prime suspect is concern over Europe’s debt situation.

Yet the $2.5 trillion loss is more than twice the total debt (from both the government and the monetary authorities) of Greece, Spain and Portugal combined — the three PIIGS countries considered to be most in danger of default.

Why, then, do so many investment commentators persist in telling the story that Europe’s debt situation is to blame? Because it’s a convenient and easy explanation to fall back upon, especially in the face of a market that is otherwise acting so inscrutably.

How many of us have the guts to say that we don’t really know why the market went up or down? Rather than admitting that, we instead tell stories — akin to Rudyard Kipling’s “Just So” stories, such as the one about how the leopard got his spots.

Blaming Greece is only the latest example of this. My perennial favorite is the oft-used explanation that the market went up (or down) on a given day because there were more buyers than sellers (or more sellers than buyers). This is just intellectual laziness, of course: During any trading session there are always the same number of buyers and sellers.

Investors need to let Greece rest in peace. That country has enough problems of its own without being asked to take responsibility for ours as well.’

Unthinkable Poised to Happen on Wall Street. See Disturbing Charts. (Moneynews) ‘The Aftershock Survival Summit is a gripping, no-nonsense presentation that’s quickly becoming a financial beacon in an economic tsunami.

Featuring an exclusive interview with famed economist and best-selling author Robert Wiedemer, this disturbing presentation exposes harsh economic truths along with a dire financial warning — a prophetic message that’s spreading across America like wildfire.

But it’s not just the grim predictions that are causing the sensation; rather, it’s the comprehensive blueprint for economic survival that’s really commanding global attention.

 

It offers realistic, step-by-step solutions that the average hard-working American can easily follow; millions have already heeded its warnings and are rapidly sharing the Aftershock Survival Summit throughout the Internet. To see it for yourself, simply click here.

The overwhelming amount of feedback to publicize the presentation, initially screened for a private audience, came with consequences as various online networks repeatedly shut it down and affiliates refused to house the content.

“People were sitting up and taking notice, and they begged us to make the Aftershock Survival Summit public so they could easily share it,” said Newsmax Financial Publisher Aaron DeHoog, “but unfortunately, it kept getting pulled.”

The controversy stems from direct allegations that the people in Washington have failed miserably. They include former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and current Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, tasked with preventing financial meltdowns and keeping the nation’s economy strong through monetary and credit policies.

At one point, Wiedemer even calls out Ben Bernanke, saying that his “money from heaven will be the path to hell.”

This wasn’t the first time Wiedemer’s predictions hit a nerve. In 2006, he and his team of economists accurately predicted the four-bubble meltdown in the housing, stock, private debt, and consumer spending markets that almost sunk America.

Regardless of his warnings and survival advice, Bernanke and Greenspan were not about to support Wiedemer publicly, nor were the mainstream media.

As the warnings went unheeded, and America suffered the consequences, Wiedemer penned his latest prophetic work, “Aftershock: Protect Yourself and Profit in the Next Global Financial Meltdown.”

Once again his contrarian views ruffled feathers and just before the book was publicly released, the publisher yanked the final chapter, deeming it too controversial for newsstand and online outlets such as Amazon.com.

Despite appearances, “Aftershock” is not a book with the singular intention of scaring people, explains DeHoog. “The true value lies in the sound economic survival guidance that people can act on immediately. I was able to read the original version with the ‘unpublished chapter,’ and I think it’s the most crucial in the entire book. After contacting Wiedemer, we [Newsmax] were granted permission to share it with our readers. In fact, viewers of the Aftershock Survival Summit are able to claim a free copy of it.”

In the Aftershock Survival Summit, Wiedemer reveals what the publisher didn’t want you to see. Citing the unthinkable, he provides disturbing evidence and financial charts forecasting 50% unemployment, a 90% stock market collapse, and 100% annual inflation.

“I doubted some of his predictions at first. But then Robert showed me the charts that provided evidence for such disturbing claims,” DeHoog commented.

Prepare for Lehman Brothers Part 2  MoneyShow.com Sep 15, 2011 ‘Three years ago, Lehman collapsed. Now, a new Lehman-like financial crisis is coming -- this time involving the debt of governments and European banks.’

 

 

 

 

Arguments for Being in the Crash Camp   Conor Sen Sep 28, 2011 ‘This has been the sixth-most volatilite September since 1950. The only years more volatile? 2002, 2001, 1974, 1998, and 2008, years which included two major stock market bottoms (1974 and 2002), 9/11, Long Term Capital Management, and the fall of Lehman Brothers. Despite the crazy volatility, it is my contention that nothing meaningful has really happened this month. As we know, the reason for the volatility is primarily because of the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe. And as news events of today confirm, we remain no closer to resolution here, even as stress indicators continue to deteriorate.

For example, while markets were surging today, German finance minster Wolfgang Schaeuble was out saying basically the same things he's been saying all along, that Germany is opposed to further bailouts or fiscal stimulus, and Europe's periphery should resolve its problems via fiscal consolidation.

  • Schaeuble Says 'Will Not Spend Our Way' Out of Crisis
  • Schaeuble Says 'Immediate Fiscal Reforms Are of the Essence'
  • Schaeuble Says Increasing EFSF Would Damage Some AAA Ratings
  • Schaeuble Says Monetary Policy 'Not the Way' to Solve Euro Woes

Later in the day, as the Financial Times reported, problems were surfacing regarding Greece's latest bailout package:

"A split has opened in the eurozone over the terms of Greece’s second €109bn bail-out with as many as seven of the bloc’s 17 members arguing for private creditors to swallow a bigger writedown on their Greek bond holdings, according to senior European officials."

What We Know:

  • Germany remains adamantly opposed to bailing out the periphery.
  • European and US macro data continues to weaken.
  • Greek debt is pricing in default, which, if it occurred, would be chaotic and unpredictable.
  • Austerity in the periphery is not working.
  • European sovereign yields continue to indicate worsening stress.
  • Over the past month Italy's 2-year yield has risen from 3.36% to 4.26% and its 10-year yield has risen from 5.07% to 5.60%.
  • Spain's 2-year yield has risen from 3.27% to 3.36% and its 10-year yield has risen from 5.00% to 5.05%
  • Germany's 2-year yield has fallen from 0.65% to 0.53% and its 10-year yield has fallen from 2.16% to 1.96%.
  • Contagion fears continue to increase.
  • The VIX has risen over the past month from 35.59 to 37.71.
  • Bank of America (BAC) CDS has widened from 333bps to 382bps.
  • Goldman Sachs (GS) CDS has widened from 240bps to 265bps.

Nothing's fixed and we're no closer to a fix. Bad news.

The good news is if history is any guide, we're likely no more than two to three weeks away from mercifully putting in a bottom for the rest of the year if we haven't already. Looking at those five years with Septembers more volatile than this one, the September-December low occurred on 10/3/74, 10/8/98, 9/21/01, 10/9/02, and 11/21/08 (though a major low in internals occurred on 10/10/08 and if you had bought that low you would've broken even through year-end). For whatever reason early-mid October is when final flush-outs tend to occur. Unfortunately this means the European crisis will most likely be the cause of yet more systemic pain in 2012…In a way these companies benefit from the current macro environment because it keeps valuations depressed and interest rates low, allowing them to borrow money cheaply and buy back more stock than they'd be able to at non-stressed valuations…’

THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH  September 29, 2011   http://www.etfdigest.com

http://albertpeia.com/circuswallstreet.jpg

Yes, I’ve used this image before but it befits the past two months of frenetic two-way trading. Thursday markets moved sharply higher early on news of better Jobless Claims and GDP data plus the positive vote from the German parliament regarding funding their portion of the euro zone’s EFSF (European Financial Stability Facility).

Algos jumped on the headlines which is what they’re programmed to do. They don’t look under the hood for details since given their momentary focus, “facts don’t matter”—not at least right away.

A closer look inside Jobless Claims data is the consistent revisions for higher previous claims. This makes current reports generally seem better by comparison. Further, the BLS states with this report the significant impact of “seasonal factors” skewing the report. The figures used to adjust the data typically look for a drop in un-adjusted claims heading into the end of a quarter. For last week however, the seasonal adjustment factors predicted unadjusted claims would rise 0.4 percent per the Labor Department. Instead, unadjusted applications followed the typical patterns at the end of quarters and plunged 8.2 percent, leading to the even bigger drop in the adjusted data.

Below is an analysis of the GDP report directly from the always reliable and probative Consumer Metrics Institute.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis's (BEA) third estimate of second quarter 2011 U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was reported to be 1.34%, an upward adjustment from their previous data. The new growth number was .36% higher than the number reported last month for the same quarter. It is important to remember that this new monthly report covered the same time periods as the previous reports -- meaning that this monthly set of changes in the numbers was caused by late arriving data at the BEA and not actual month to month improvements in the economy.

Among the items notable in the report:

-- Aggregate consumer expenditures for goods was still reported to be contracting during the second quarter, dragging the overall growth rate of the economy down by a -0.38% rate. This is actually marginally weaker than the numbers in the earlier reports.

-- Consumer expenditures for services grew slightly during the quarter, at an improved (although still very sluggish) 0.87% annualized growth rate. But the adjustment in this single line item represented the bulk of the improvement in the headline number.

-- The growth rate of private fixed investments was only slightly higher, at a weak annualized 1.07% rate.

-- Inventories are still reported to have been drawn down during the quarter, indicating that production has slowed faster than demand. The revised estimate of inventory levels caused the overall growth rate to be reduced by a -0.28% annualized rate.

-- Total expenditures by governments at all levels was still reported to be shrinking, reducing overall economic activity at a -0.18% annualized rate.

-- Exports strengthened slightly relative to the earlier report, raising the contribution that they made to the overall GDP growth rate to 0.48%.

-- Imports decreased somewhat when compared to the earlier report, and are now reported to be removing -0.24% from the growth rate of the overall economy. The combination of the revisions in the import and export numbers contributed about half of the upward changes in the published headline number.

-- The growth rate of "real final sales of domestic product" was revised upward to an annualized 1.62%, as the result of the now higher consumer services figures, slightly improved foreign trade and the increased draw-down of inventories.

-- Working backwards from the data tables, the effective "deflater" used by the BEA to offset the impact of inflation was 2.58% -- still substantially below the rates reported by their sister agencies. Substituting the line-item appropriate (CPI or PPI) current inflation rate published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) causes the "real" GDP to be contracting at a -0.73% annualized rate.

-- And using the same alternate BLS "deflaters" the real per-capita GDP can be shown to be contracting at a -1.45% annualized rate. Similarly, per-capita disposable income was contracting at a -0.92% annualized rate. These per-capita numbers are what impacts individual Americans and it is the real source of the frustration within the populace.

Not featured by the financial media beyond Bloomberg is Thursday’s report and graph on their Consumer Comfort Survey which shows this index as back to 2008-09 levels. This is hardly encouraging.

Fed Governor Lockhart finds current jobless conditions “perplexing and vexing” according to this Bloomberg story. So if I have my synonyms and meanings right he’s “embarrassed and pissed-off” which kind of disqualifies him from such a position.

Meanwhile back at Wall & Broad stocks as measured by the DJIA raced higher early by 260 points only to fall later by 45 points and then rally in “stick save” fashion to close 143 points higher. This really is the “Greatest Show on Earth”! The NASDAQ was lower by .43% led by semiconductor sectors (SMH) especially after a poor outlook from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), down nearly 14%. Also there is still some lingering confusion over iPads from Apple (AAPL) versus Fire from Amazon (AMZN). Financials were higher which helped much of the bigger names rally although the rationale was difficult to determine.

Commodities, including precious and base metals, oil and grains were higher overall. The dollar was down slightly and bonds were stronger.

Volume was modest most of the day until the large “stick save” was put in place to end the session. Breadth per the WSJ was positive once again as quarter-end window dressing is in full swing.

The craziness continues for the clown act doing business as the Greatest Show on Earth. It’s no wonder so many individual investors have fled markets. Between phony data and window dressing it’s hard to stick with the long-term program. Three bear markets in 11 years would be enough to turn anyone off. Now we’re not in a bear market yet but we’re frightfully close.

Friday brings the not so reliable U of Michigan Consumer Sentiment, Personal Income and Spending and the important Chicago PMI. Friday also will allow for more end-of-quarter window dressing.’

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN Dave’s Daily http://www.etfdigest.com September 30, 2011  ‘It’s probably not a “market” for men or women of any age at this point. Warren Buffett has put himself out there recently buying stock in Bank of America (BAC) and then suggesting Friday it might take 3-5 years for the company to clean things up. He also stated he’s received inquiries from European banks for a financial injection which isn’t a good sign. He’s also been highly visible averaging down buying shares in his own Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) with $5 billion in purchases already this quarter. He says he likes the president’s jobs bill although admitted to not knowing its details which is poor due diligence. He’s also unsure of just what Obama’s “Buffett Rule” means as it applies to incomes over $250K deflecting the level by talking about people making $50M or more. All this struck me as interesting and odd … So for stocks overall this is the worst performing quarter since 2008 when we were entering a bear market. Are we due for a repeat or is this just a continuation of the previous bear market? It gives us a sense of a 1930s like market which featured substantial bear market rallies. For the quarter the DJIA was down 12%, S&P 500 down 14.3% and Nasdaq Composite down 12.9%. European stocks in aggregate lost 17% …’

Yield Spread Confirming Recession Call http://www.zerohedge.com/news/guest-post-yield-spread-confirming-recession-call Lance Roberts of StreetTalk Advisors

Yield Spread Confirming Recession Call

Recession.   It is now becoming clearer, even to the mainstream media, that the "Big 'R'" is rapidly approaching, or already upon us.  Without further stimulus from the government the economy will continue its slide into negative growth.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the "Calvary" will be charging to the rescue anytime soon.   Bernanke, at this point has effectively punted to the Whitehouse for stimulative action.  The Whitehouse is embroiled in partisan politics which will keep any action from occurring until most likely after the next election.   This leaves the economy and the financial markets to their own devices, and much like kids without parental supervision, they are running amok.

I have been very vocal as of late commenting on the fact that a recession is fast approaching.   The trends of the economic numbers have all soured to the negative.   From manufacturing to personal incomes to sentiment they all are signaling a recession lay ahead.   Another confirming indicator of a recessionary track is the spread in yields between junk bonds and high quality bonds.  The chart here shows two different yield spreads.   The blue represents the difference in yields between AAA rated corporate bonds to BB rated bonds while the red represents the spread between 10-yr government treasuries to BB rated bonds.   The dotted horizontal lines represent when these spreads have signaled recessions in the economy.

When the economy is strong the spread between BB (Junk Bonds) and AAA Bonds or Government treasuries is much lower as the perceived risk of default on payment is lower.    In times of economic stress or recession the perceived risk of default or failure is much greater.   Currently, spreads at these levels are very indicative of economic stress and recessions.  The perceived risk of corporate failure is rising and spreads are widening as money leaves high risk bonds (driving interest rates higher) and moves to safer yielding bonds (keeping rates lower).   The wider the spread the harder it is for weak companies to access capital and corporate failures rise.  

On Friday, Lakshman Achuthan of the Economic Cycle Research Institute reviewed the weight of ECRI's research, observing "Now it's a done deal. We are going into a recession."

The spread in yields combined with our own research as well as that of the ECRI, which is a very conservative organization with calls generally way ahead of the consensus as we have repeatedly been, confirms that our views are most likely the correct one.

While the media tends to view the economy from one report to the next what is important is to understand the trend and the balance of the data on the whole.  Understanding the trend and balance will make you very unpopular with the rest of the world that consistently ops for the "glass half full" view  but will keep you from losing a lot of money in the long run.

John Hussman summed this view up well; "In contrast, good economists think about the economy as a system - where multiple sectors interact. We tend to use words like 'equilibrium' and 'syndrome' when we talk about economic data - emphasizing that the best signals involve a whole conformation of evidence, not one or two indicators, where the data - in combination - captures a particular signature of recession or recovery.

Look at how Achuthan described the situation on CNBC on Friday, and you'll see a good example of this sort of thinking:

'This is a done deal. We are going into a recession. We've been very objective about getting to this point, but last week we announced to our clients that we're slipping into a recession. This is the first time I'm saying it publicly. A broad range - this is not based on any one indicator - this is based on dozens of indicators for the United States - there is a contagion among those forward looking indicators that we only see at the onset of a business cycle recession.. These leading indicators, which are objective.. they have a certain pattern that they present in front of a recession, and that is in, that is in right now.'

'A recession is a process, and I think a lot of people don't understand that; they're looking for two negative quarters of GDP. But it is a process where sales disappoint, so production falls, employment falls, income falls, and then sales fall. That vicious circle has started. You're looking at the forward drivers of that, which are different indicators - there's not one - everything's imperfect. The Weekly Leading Index .. that is saying unequivocally, this is recession. Long Leading Index, which has a longer lead, is saying recession. Service sector indicators, non-financial services where 5 out of 8 Americans work, plunging. Manufacturing, going into contraction. Exports, collapsing. This is a deadly combination, we are not going to escape this, and it is a new recession.'

For investors, if you believe that current analyst estimates of forward operating earnings are correct, and you believe that the inappropriate bubble-era benchmarks for price-to-forward operating earnings are actually valid, and you've ignored all evidence that the Fed Model is spectacularly devoid of validity, and you believe that the only course for valuations is to move toward those misguided benchmarks regardless of what happens to Europe or the U.S. economy, then it's easy to believe that stocks will head higher.  For our part, we believe none of those things..."

We agree with John on this point.   These are points that we have written extensively on in the past.   In a low growth economic environment the persistent call for high growth rates in stock prices is dumbfounding.  History tells us that the corporate earnings, and ultimately capital appreciation, cannot grow faster than the economy for long.   Corporate earnings, and ultimately the prices paid for those earnings, are a reflection of the economy and not vice versa.

There is one final key point to all of this as it relates to the yield spread.   Investors face not only an oncoming recession here but also a probable sovereign default and recession in Europe.  The compounding of these factors translates into heightened credit risk here in the U.S. (as noted by credit spreads jumping  higher recently) and corporations do not borrow at the 10-year treasury rate.  They borrow from the bond market and the rising costs of borrowing due to rising credit risk impacts corporate profitability.  Expectations for earnings growth going into 2012 is still extremely high with current estimates sitting at an all-time record for the S&P 500 index next year.   The reality of that occurring is almost nil.   In turn, this means that prices will have to be adjusted for the reality of a recessionary economy which is why the average decline of stocks during a recession is about 33%.  

John Hussman summed our current stance up very well:  "Still, as always, we're data-driven, and there are possible combinations of evidence (not in hand at the moment) that could move us to a modestly or moderately constructive investment stance even in the context of broader economic risks. My impression continues to be that the best hope for a sustained advance (early on, probably only several weeks or a few months in duration) is from substantially lower levels, but we'll take our evidence as it comes. Suffice it to say that we remain defensive here, but are quite willing to shift our investment stance if the evidence supports that."   Well said.’

Graham Summers Weekly Market Forecast (Dexia Now... Who's Next? Edition)    http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/graham-summers-weekly-market-forecast-dexia-now-whos-next-edition

‘Things are getting truly desperate in Europe. I’d like to show just how bad they are by way of example: the Belgian bank Dexia, which is now in the process of being nationalized.

For starters, Dexia had 566 billion euros in debt and 19 billion euros in equity as of the end of 2010. Right off the bat, that’s a leverage ratio of 29 to 1. Lehman Brothers was leveraged at 30 to 1 when it collapsed.

Now consider that Belgium’s entire GDP is just 348 billion euros. Dexia has 566 billion euros in assets. Of this 352 billion are loans. Put another way, Dexia’s loan portfolio alone is larger than its home country’s entire economy.

AND THIS BANK PASSED THE STRESS TESTS.

Suffice to say, Europe’s banking system is in far FAR worse shape than anyone over there is admitting. The stress tests were complete and total fiction. And the market is starting to figure this out.

Small wonder then that had both the IMF and the Bank of England have recently warned that the world is facing a “financial meltdown” and “the worst financial crisis in history.”

 

Ben Bernanke issued his own statement of doom last week as well, stating that his precious recovery is “close to faltering.” For a guy who’s spent TRILLIONS trying to create a recovery to admit things aren’t working out ought to give you an idea of just how bad things will be getting in the near future.

Indeed, stocks were rejected last at a descending trendline from the July top.

We should have at least gotten a bounce to the 38.2% retracement (1,200 on the S&P 500). So if the market fails to get there and simply rolls over here, then we’re going DOWN in a big way FAST.

Here is the reality of the financial system today: 

§  The European banking system is facing systemic collapse.

§  The US economy has rolled over and is in a confirmed double dip in the context of a larger DE-pression.

§  The Central Banks and regulators have admitted we are peering into the abyss and they have no clue what to do.

 Yes, I believe that before this mess ends, the financial system as a whole will have collapsed. What's coming is going to make 2008 look like a joke.

If you have yet to prepare yourself for what’s coming, now is the time to do so. Whether it’s by moving to cash and bullion, opening some shorts, or simply getting out of the markets altogether, now is the time to be preparing for what’s coming (remember, stocks took six months to bottom after Lehman… and that was when the Fed still had some bullets left to combat the collapse).

And if you’re looking for specific ideas to profit from this mess, mr Surviving a Crisis Four Times Worse Than 2008 report can show you how to turn the unfolding disaster into a time of gains and profits for any investor.

Within its nine pages I explain precisely how the Second Round of the Crisis will unfold, where it will hit hardest, and the best means of profiting from it (the very investments my clients used to make triple digit returns in 2008).

FINANCIAL CRISIS

"ROUND TWO" SURVIVAL GUIDE THIS BEAR MARKET IS NOWHERE NEAR OVER. Since its March 10 low of 666 in 2009, the S&P 500 rally has been almost unstoppable. Pundits and media commentators alike have taken this to mean that the bear market is over and that stocks should once again be the primary asset class for investors. None of them knows what they’re talking about. Over the last 30 years, the US has built up record debts on a personal, state, and national level. Consumers thought they were financially stable so long as they could cover the interest payments on their credit cards, states created program after program few if any of which they could afford, and the Federal Government issued $30-50 trillion in debt and liabilities (counting Social Security and Medicare). This all came to a screeching halt when the housing bubble (arguably the biggest debt bubble in history) imploded in 2007. Since that time, stocks have staged one of their worst years on record (2008), one in five us mortgages has fallen underwater (meaning the mortgage loan is worth more than the home itself), and some trillions in US household wealth has evaporated. These issues seem to be distinct, but in reality they all stem from a debt problem. And as you know, there is only one legitimate way to deal with a debt problem: Pay it off. However, instead of doing this, the Feds (the Federal Reserve, Treasury Dept, etc.) have been producing EVEN MORE DEBT. Here’s a brief recap of their moves thus far: • The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates from 5.25‐0.25% (Sept ’07 today) • The Bear Stearns deal/ Fed buys $30 billion in junk mortgages (March ’08) • The Fed opens various lending windows to investment banks (March ’08) • The SEC proposes banning shortselling on financial stocks (July ’08) • The Treasury buys Fannie/Freddie for $400 billion (Sept ’08) • The Fed takes over AIG for $85 billion (Sept ’08) • The Fed doles out $25 billion for the auto makers (Sept ’08) • The Feds’ $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) (Oct ’08)

• The Fed buys commercial paper (nonbank debt) from nonfinancials (Oct ’08) • The Fed offers $540 billion to backstop money market funds (Oct ’08) • The Feds backstops up to $280 billion of Citigroup’s liabilities (Oct ’08). • Another $40 billion to AIG (Nov ’08) • The Fed backstops up $140 billion of Bank of America’s liabilities (Jan ’09) • Obama’s $787 Billion Stimulus (Jan ’09) • The Fed’s $300 billion Quantitative Easing Program (Mar ’09) • The Fed buying $1.25 trillion in agency mortgage backed securities (Mar ’09 ’10) • The Fed buying $200 billion in agency debt (Mar ’09’10) • Cash for Clunkers I & II (JulyAugust ’09) And that’s a BRIEF recap (I’m sure I left something out). In a nutshell, The Feds have tried to combat a debt problem by ISSUING MORE DEBT. They’re pumping trillions of dollars into the financial system, trying to prop Wall Street and the stock market. They’ve managed to kick off a rally in stocks… But they HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES PLAGUING THE FINANCIAL MARKET. Stocks are headed for another Crash, possibly as bad as the one we saw in October November 2008. As you know, that Crash wiped out $11 trillion in household wealth in a matter of weeks. There’s no telling the damage this Second Round will cause. The Feds have thrown everything they’ve got (including the kitchen sink) at the financial crisis… and things are fundamentally no better than they were before: most major banks are insolvent, one in five US mortgages is underwater, and the stock market is being largely propped up by in‐house trading from a few key players (Goldman Sachs, UBS, etc). Make no mistake, we are rapidly headed for ugly times in the financial markets. The time to prepare yourself is NOW! And I’ve located several investments that will not only protect your portfolio… they’ll also help you turn a profit when this “house of cards” we call a market rally comes crashing down. I’ve detailed all of them in this report, The Financial Crisis “Round Two” Survival

Guide.

Two Ways Stocks Pay: Inflation and Dividends Before we get into the specific investment suggestions, it’s important to take a big picture of stocks as an asset class. The common consensus is that stocks return an average of 6% a year (at least going back to 1900).

However, a study by the London Business School recently revealed that when you

remove dividends, stocks’ gains drop to a mere 1.7% a year (even lower than

the return from longterm

Treasury bonds over the same period). Put another way, dividends account for 70% of the average US stock returns since 1900. When you remove dividends, stocks actually offer LESS reward and MORE risk than bonds. If you’d invested $1 in stocks in 1900, you’d have made $582 with reinvested dividends adjusted for inflation vs. a mere $6 from price appreciation. So as much as the CNBC crowd (and out serial bubble blowing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke) would like to believe that the way to make money in stocks is buying low and selling high, the reality is that the vast majority of gains from stocks stem from dividends. The remaining gains have come largely from inflation. Bill King, Chief Market Strategist M. Ramsey King Securities recently published the following chart comparing REAL GDP (light blue), GDP when you account for inflation (dark blue), and the Dow Jones’ performance (black) over the last 30 years. What follows is a clear picture that since the mid-70s MOST of the perceived stock gains have come from inflation.

Which brings us to today. According to official data, the S&P 500 is currently trading at a Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio of 20 and yields 1.7%. In plain terms, stocks are expensive (historic average for P/E is 15) and paying little. In other words, there is little incentive, other than future inflation expectations, for owning stocks right now.

With this in mind, now is the time to be pruning your “long” holdings. We’ve had a spectacular run in stocks since the March 2009 low and the likelihood of this continuing much longer is relatively slim. Running Out of Buyers By most historic metrics, the market is showing signs of a significant top. Here are just a few key metrics: 1) Investor sentiment is back to super bullish autumn 2007 levels. 2) Insider selling to buying ratios are back to autumn 2007 levels (insiders are selling the farm). 3) Money market fund assets are at 2007 levels (indicating that investors have gone “all in” with stocks). 4) Mutual fund cash levels are at a historic low. This final point is key. Mutual funds are the “big boys” of the investment world. If they have become fully invested in the market, this means there are few buyers left to push stocks higher. This is evident in the fact that every time mutual fund cash levels dropped, stocks collapsed soon after (see chart below).

http://home.comcast.net/~RoyAshworth/Mutual_Fund_Cash_Levels/Mutual_Fund_Cash_Levels.htm

In plain terms, the odds are high that a Top is forming in stocks. With that in mind, if your portfolio is heavily invested in stocks, now is a time to be taking some profits. If you can, consider moving a sizable chunk into cash. The market is extremely tired and the systemic risks underlying the Financial Crisis are in no way resolved. With investor complacency (as measured by the VIX) back to pre‐Crash levels, the Fed withdrawing several of its more significant market props, and low participation coming from the larger institutions, this market is ripe for a serious correction. I’m not saying this will immediately happen. But at some point there will be a new round to the Financial Crisis. When that happens, we WILL have another Crash. Indeed, it is quite possible that stocks are making a VERY significant top, so being heavily invested in stocks going forward doesn’t make much sense. Take some money off the table. If you need a place to put it, I suggest physical cash or Gold/ Silver bullion. If You MUST Stay Long, Shift to Quality If you DO have to stay invested in stocks, now is the time to be shifting out of junk into quality. The market rally from March 2009 has largely been lead by junk companies (financials, retailers, etc). Meanwhile, quality has lagged dramatically. As an example, let’s compare the performance of Coke (KO) to Bank of America (BAC). KO is one of the best, most profitable brands in the world. The competitive moat around this business is extraordinary and it remains one of the most easily recognized franchises on the planet. You can drink six glasses of Coke a day and still enjoy it the next day. That quality is almost nowhere to be found in any other food/ beverage on the planet: even chocolate would get old after six bars a day. BAC on the other hand has swallowed Countrywide Financial AND Merrill Lynch’s garbage assets. It is effectively insolvent based on its derivative exposure alone (the company has derivatives equal to 3,000% of assets). BAC’s balance sheet is like an open sewer and without serious government intervention the company would not even exist right now. And yet, BAC’s stock has risen nearly 200% since the March ‘09 lows… while KO is up less than 50%.

This relationship works to the downside as well. What I mean is that when stocks come unhinged, Quality (Coke) then outperforms Garbage (Bank of America) hands down.

So, if you HAVE to remain invested in stocks to the long side for whatever reason, now is the time to be moving into high quality companies. This means finding companies with low debt, lots of cash, strong results (KO actually GREW revenues in 2008), and significant competitive advantages. Also, and this is critical, look for companies with strong balance sheets: companies that will still EXIST if there’s another Crisis. Depression or no, people will still drink soda, alcohol, smoke cigarettes, and need medicine. I’ve compiled a list of companies you should consider if you need to remain involved in stocks going forward: Company Symbol Sector Price/ Cash

Flow

Dividend

Yield Coke KO Soft Drinks 15 3.2%

Budweiser BUD Alcohol 14 N/A J&J JNJ Medicine 10 3.02% WalMart WMT General Retail 8 2.16% Exxon Mobil XOM Oil 11 2.51% You’ll note that most of these companies pay decent dividends (compared to the S&P 500’s 1.7%). This is critical going forward. With stocks overvalued, you want to make sure you’re at least getting paid for remaining involved in the market. However, there is an added bonus to owning Quality stocks right now. Because this market rally has largely been dominated by Garbage stocks, Quality companies like Coke have not yet risen to extreme valuations. Thus, you can still buy them at relatively cheap levels (less than 15 times cash flow). So, in a sense, they are a good investment based on pricing as well. I want to stress that these investments are only if you HAVE to stay in stocks for some reason. If there is another collapse these companies will fall like everything else. However, they will likely fall less than the rest of the market (see the chart comparing Coke and the S&P 500 below).

source: Yahoo Finance So while I do not expect these positions to make a lot of money now (these are not short-term trades), they should shelter you from losing too much money should another Crash hit. Indeed, if the market DOES collapse and these companies fall 10- 15% across the board (while the market falls 30%+) I would consider these investments even MORE attractive than they are today. Let me explain. Volatility can either hurt you or be your friend. Most people would sell a position if it fell 20-30%. This is wise if you’re investing based on momentum. However, if

you’re investing based on value, then doing this is completely antithetical to attaining high returns. Consider Coke. Let’s say tomorrow Coke collapsed from $55 to $25 per share. Most investors would panic and sell. I, on the other hand, would be buying greedily. Why? Because Coke’s business has a fundamental value. Even during a Financial Crisis and Depression, people will continue to drink soda. So the opportunity to buy Coke at $25 a share (which would be 7-8 times cash flow) would be truly an extraordinary opportunity. Indeed, from an income perspective alone, the opportunity here would be fantastic. Consider that in 2009, Coke paid out $1.76 in dividends. With shares at $55, this means a dividend yield of 3.2% (roughly three times what you’d get by leaving your money in a savings account). However, if Coke shares fell to $25, that $1.76 suddenly becomes a 7% yield

($1.75/ $25.00). That’s a heck of a return from an income perspective. Even if

globally the world entered a sharp Depression and Coke’s income fell by 30%,

pulling its payouts down to $1.23, you’re still looking at a 5% yield. Indeed, companies like Coke offer the potential of REAL value should their share prices drop. Their fundamentals almost ALWAYS outperform investor sentiment. What I mean by this is that should there be another Collapse, Coke’s share price will almost certainly fall MORE from its current levels than Coke’s cash payouts or income will from theirs. During 2008, Coke shares fell 30% or so. However, Coke actually INCREASED its dividend that year. Anyone who bought Coke in October 2008, now collects a 4% yield on their shares (four times what he or she would get from a bank account). This is why companies like Coke remain so strong during times of Crisis. With the FDIC broke and most US banks insolvent, investors desperately need a place to park cash that will still EXIST in a few years. Companies like Coke are a reasonable alternative to a savings account in the sense that you’re paid a higher yield for your deposit (now 3%, but 5% or higher if Coke shares plunge). Of course, because Coke is a stock, you can lose 1015%

or more if shares drop and you sell. In a Crisis, plain old cash will outperform just about anything.

This is why I’ve suggested moving money to cash, if you can. It’s also why I

suggested buying Coke and the other companies listed above only IF you HAVE

to be in stocks right now.

Catastrophe Insurance: Trades For When the Collapse Hits

Now is also the time to be taking out some “Catastrophe Insurance” by compiling a list of trades to make once stocks begin to collapse. Let me be clear, these are not

trades that you’ll make right now… these are trades you’ll make WHEN stocks

collapse.

Personally, I favor UltraShort ETFs. If you’re unfamiliar with UltraShort ETFs, these are invetsments that return 2X the inverse of a particular ETF. Let’s take an example, the UltraShort Financials ETF (SKF). SKF returns 2X the inverse of the Financials ETF (IYF). So if IYF falls 5%, SKF rises 10%. If IYF falls 10%, SKF rises 20%. In this sense, SKF is a great “hedge” or means of playing Financial stocks to the downside. However, there’s an added bonus to UltraShort ETFs like SKF: these investments ALSO trade based on demand from the marketplace. So if stocks collapse say 30%, you might actually see gains GREATER than 60% (2X the inverse) due to investors piling in as they seek to profit from the collapse. Consider SKF’s performance in 2008, for example. In 2008, financial stocks (as measured by the Financials ETF: IYF), fell roughly 50%.

However, if you’d bought SKF once the Crisis really took hold (late September), you could have made MORE than 100% in two month’s time:

This is what makes the UltraShort ETFs so handy when a Crisis hits: because they truly skyrocket as investors stampede like elephants into safety. However, I MUST STRESS that these are not investments to “buy and hold”.

Instead, these are shortterm

trades you should make ONLY once stocks have

begun to truly collapse. Simply add them to your “on deck” trades to make

once the next Crisis hits. You’re probably asking yourself, “how can I distinguish between an ordinary

correction and a REAL Crisis?” Let’s see what history shows us. If you recall from 2008, stocks didn’t go straight down. Instead they dropped, bounced, and then began the serious collapse. Looking back at that time, the 50 DMA served as a useful metric for gauging that a serious decline was about to begin:

As you can see stocks rolled over and broke below their 50DMA in late 2007. After that, the 50DMA acted as strong resistance. Indeed, there was only one bounce above this level, which lasted roughly a month and a half. The real trouble began in the summer of 2008, and investors were given a decent warning when the S&P 500 collapsed and then bounced to test the 50‐DMA and failed to break it.

Similar warnings appeared before the 1987 Crash:

The Tech Bubble:

And the 2008 Crash:

Thus, this tells us that the 50DMA is a strong metric for gauging when real trouble hits stocks again. On that note, the trigger you should be looking for in terms of

when the next Crash will hit will be a decisive break BELOW the 50DMA

followed by a strong bounce that FAILS to break above it again. With that in mind, here are some trades to put “on deck” for when the next round of the Crisis hits. Trade #1: Short the Russell 2000

The Russell 2000 is perhaps the junkiest index in the US. Many of the companies that

comprise this index don’t even MAKE money and most likely should have never been

taken public in the first place. This is the “risk” index, the index of companies that are

garbage. For that reason, the Russell 2000 will collapse most when stocks truly begin

rolling over.

The below chart compares the Russell 2000’s performance against that of the Dow Jones

Industrial Average during the 2008 Crash. As you can see, the Russell dropped

significantly more:

For this reason, I suggest buying the UltraShort Russell 2000 ETF (TWM) when the

market begins its next real collapse.

The UltraShort Russell 2000 ETF (TWM) returns 2X the inverse of the Russell 2000.

So if the Russell 2000 falls 5%, TWM returns 10%. If the Russell 2000 falls 10%, TWM

returns 20%. It’s a terrific means of playing the collapse in small cap stocks.

Again, wait for stocks to enter a free fall before opening this trade.

Trade #2: Short Financials

By now you know that the current Crisis has centered on the financial sector, specifically

the banks. The Protect Your Savings report details the issues extensively. However, as

further proof, the below chart shows that US banks are about to get slammed with another

round of mortgage defaults from the residential housing sector (I’m not even going to

bother including the commercial real estate market which is a multi-billion time bomb in

of itself).

Suffice to say, Financials have a lot of issues coming their way in the future. For that

reason, when the next Round of the Crisis hits, I suggest buying the UltraShort

Financials ETF (SKF).

SKF returns 2X the inverse of the Financials ETF (IYF). So if the IYF falls 5%, SKF

returns 10%. If the IYF falls 10%, SKF returns 20%. It’s a terrific means of playing the

collapse in financials stocks.

Again, wait for stocks to enter a free fall before opening this trade.

Trade #3: Short the Retail ETF

The US consumer accounts for 70% of US GDP. Real unemployment is currently close to 17%. Food Stamp usage is around a record 38 million. Tax receipts for 2010 so far are LOWER than 2009’s levels (didn’t everyone think the entire world was ending back then?). And yet, retail stocks are back to their 2007 highs:

As you can see, retail stocks in general are up nearly 200% during the worst recession in decades. It’s simply staggering. For that reason, I suggest Shorting the

Retail ETF (XRT) when stocks start to collapse. XRT gives broad exposure to the retail sector. Its top holdings are: Company % of Assets Casey General Stores 1.9% Gamestop 1.9% Jos A Bank Clothiers 1.8% Netflix 1.8% Tractor Supply 1.7% Annetaylor Stores 1.7% Limited Brands 1.7% Childrens PI Retail Stores 1.7% Best Buy 1.6% Abercrombie and Fitch 1.6% Shorting this ETF gives you the opportunity to short retail across the board. However, if you’re more inclined to short specific companies, I’d focus on apparel and clothing retailers like Gap (GPS), Limited Brands (LTD), Nordstrom (JWN), and the like. As with the other trades, only enter these shorts when the market begins to enter a free fall.

Trade #4: Short the Emerging Markets Emerging markets have leaded the US on this latest rally: they bottomed back in November 2008, while US stocks continued to plunge until March 2009. That’s not the only “leading” emerging markets have done. While the S&P 500 is up some 60% from its March lows, China, Brazil and their kind have all more than DOUBLED from the November 2008 lows.

This relationship will reverse in the next Crisis.

During times of Crisis, the “flight to safety” involves institutional investors dumping

their foreign shares to load up on Treasuries or other perceived “safe havens.”

Consequently, emerging markets are hit hardest when the markets collapse.

For that reason, when the next collapse begins I suggest shorting emerging markets via

any number of inverse Ultrashort ETFs. The most popular ones are:

1) The UltraShort Emerging markets ETF (EEV)

2) The UltraShort China ETF (FXP)

3) The UltraShort Brazil ETF (BZQ)

All three of these return 2X the inverse of an underlying index: the MSCI Emerging

Markets ETF, the FTSE/ Xinhua 25 ETF, and the Brazil ETF, respectively. As such, they

represent a great way to pocket major gains when the emerging markets collapse along

with the rest of the financial world during the next Crisis.

As with the other trades, only enter these shorts when the market begins to enter a free fall.

Related story: ‘Did LSD help make Steve Jobs more creative? — Slate  Yet, for every story as his, the Beatles (my favorite band all-time, along with the Classical Greats), etc., I can relate a multitude of stories of tragedy, disaster, including one of a quite brilliant lad I worked with – summer job – who expounded on the benefits of LSD expanding one’s mind {repeatedly recommending I try it – I didn’t- never did} was accepted at Columbia Law School, and while hitchhiking while high in mind-expansion-mode walked into a mack truck thereby expanding his mind (and body) all over the roadway, etc..]  ‘EARLIER this year a Federal Reserve official tried to tamp down worries about inflation by noting that, while food and petrol were getting more expensive, you could now buy an iPad that was twice as powerful for the same price as the previous model. The remark, soon lampooned as “Let them eat iPads”, predictably drew derision. But it typified a tactic to which American leaders frequently turn when they need a rejoinder to economic doomsaying: cite an Apple product.As bad as their politics has got, Americans could always comfort themselves with the knowledge that their business leaders, entrepreneurs and workers were the most dynamic and innovative in the world. But they may look back on 2011 and see three events that undermine that story: the downgrade of America’s credit rating; the last flight of the space shuttle; and Mr Jobs’s death. The first, coming as it did on the heels of a debilitating and entirely pointless fight over raising the debt ceiling, captures how American political dysfunction has undermined the economy’s institutional pillars. The latter two symbolised the waning of, respectively, American public and private technological pre-eminence.

Of course, it would be foolish to count out Apple, much less an entire economy, because of one man’s death. Yet even if Apple remains as successful as it has been under Mr Jobs, that success long ago decoupled from that of the broader economy. Written on the back of my iPod are the words, “Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China.” It was classic Jobs: reframing an issue, the outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs, as something inspirational rather than discouraging. The low-skill assembly jobs and the middle-class lives they provided may be leaving for Asian shores, but the brainy, wealth-creating parts of the process—the design, the engineering, the marketing—were firmly rooted in Silicon Valley. Free traders (including me) loved to cite the research that finds far more of the value in an iPod is added in America than in China.

But behind this glowing story of synergy between American brains and Chinese brawn lay a more disturbing reality. American global economic leadership has, in the last decade, benefited an ever narrower slice of its people. They have become fabulously wealthy, while the vast majority of job growth has been in areas like education and health care, where productivity and wages are stagnant, a trend well documented by Michael Spence. American global business leadership used to be personified by the likes of General Motors, Caterpillar, General Electric and Eastman Kodak. As they lost market share to foreign competitors, shifted employment overseas or flirted with bankruptcy, the focus turned to technology companies like Cisco Systems, Microsoft and Hewlett Packard. Microsoft and Cisco are both fine, though in recent years they have undergone layoffs and seen their market values shrink to a fraction of their bubble-era peaks. Hewlett Packard, of course, is flailing around for a new business model, and is seeking to exit the personal-computer business altogether.

Americans' entrepreneurial self-esteem is now embodied by Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. These are indeed fabulously innovative companies with world-beating business models. Yet one wonders if they are increasingly the exception, not the rule, and if the passing of Mr Jobs is simply the most prominent example of a broader decline in American entrepreneurship. According to JPMorgan, in the late 1990s, employment at start-up companies regularly grew 1.2m per quarter. That has fallen to 700,000 since the current recovery began. John Haltiwanger, probably the leading economist on employment dynamics by firm size, finds similar trends.

Entrepreneurship and innovation, of course, are not the same thing. Yet even if American innovation is fundamentally sound, there remains the more unsettling problem of how narrowly its fruits are shared. If you want to know why the Senate is on the verge of passing a bill punishing China for its trade practices, look no further than this fact: Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon collectively employ just 113,000 people, a third of GM’s payroll in 1980. Naturally, as Adam Smith pointed out long ago, the sole purpose of production is consumption, so one should not scoff at the benefits these companies create for Americans in their other role as consumers rather than workers. And in truth, technological advancement has probably done far more than trade to hollow out the middle class and widen inequality. Slapping China with punitive tariffs is more likely to trigger a trade war than restore millions of middle-class jobs.

But this is not a message that resonates with voters, or Congress. Both suspect that globalisation has done far more to benefit companies’ shareholders and their bankers than rank-and-file workers. That is the conviction of the people now occupying Wall Street, even if they lack coherent plans for dealing with it. And one can't blame them for suspecting the administration’s motives when its ambassador to China delivers a speech that so prominently takes up the cause of American credit-card companies. Of course, Visa and Mastercard are as deserving of government support in foreign markets as any metal-bending company; but they only employ 12,600 people worldwide.

It would be unfair to lay this all at the feet of American politicians: widening inequality and the decline of middle-class manufacturing jobs is a global phenomenon that vexes governments everywhere. Yet this does not excuse American governance for making matters worse. There are lots of things it could do to improve the ability of and incentives for American companies and workers to innovate and grow, whether it’s taxing fossil fuels, giving more green cards to foreign scientists and engineers or simplifying the tax code. These days, however, that seems a fantasy compared to more prosaic demands such as, don’t shut down the government, starve critical government agencies of funds or default on the national debt. If America is going to hold on to its technological mojo, it needs all the help it can get.’

9 things you didn’t know about the life of Steve Jobs  ‘For all of his years in the spotlight at the helm of Apple, Steve Jobs in many ways remains an inscrutable figure — even in his death. Fiercely private, Jobs concealed most specifics about his personal life, from his curious family life to the details of his battle with pancreatic cancer — a disease that ultimately claimed him on Wednesday, at the age of 56.

While the CEO and co-founder of Apple steered most interviews away from the public fascination with his private life, there's plenty we know about Jobs the person, beyond the Mac and the iPhone. If anything, the obscure details of his interior life paint a subtler, more nuanced portrait of how one of the finest technology minds of our time grew into the dynamo that we remember him as today.

1. Early life and childhood
Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955. He was adopted shortly after his birth and reared near Mountain View, California by a couple named Clara and Paul Jobs. His adoptive father — a term that Jobs openly objected to — was a machinist for a laser company and his mother worked as an accountant.

Later in life, Jobs discovered the identities of his estranged parents. His birth mother, Joanne Simpson, was a graduate student at the time and later a speech pathologist; his biological father, Abdulfattah John Jandali, was a Syrian Muslim who left the country at age 18 and reportedly now serves as the vice president of a Reno, Nevada casino. While Jobs reconnected with Simpson in later years, he and his biological father remained estranged.

2. College dropout
The lead mind behind the most successful company on the planet never graduated from college, in fact, he didn't even get close. After graduating from high school in Cupertino, California — a town now synonymous with 1 Infinite Loop, Apple's headquarters — Jobs enrolled in Reed College in 1972. Jobs stayed at Reed (a liberal arts university in Portland, Oregon) for only one semester, dropping out quickly due to the financial burden the private school's steep tuition placed on his parents.

In his famous 2005 commencement speech to Stanford University, Jobs said of his time at Reed: "It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5 cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple."

3. Fibbed to his Apple co-founder about a job at Atari
Jobs is well known for his innovations in personal computing, mobile tech, and software, but he also helped create one of the best known video games of all-time. In 1975, Jobs was tapped by Atari to work on the
Pong-like game Breakout.

He was reportedly offered $750 for his development work, with the possibility of an extra $100 for each chip eliminated from the game's final design. Jobs recruited Steve Wozniak (later one of Apple's other founders) to help him with the challenge. Wozniak managed to whittle the prototype's design down so much that Atari paid out a $5,000 bonus — but Jobs kept the bonus for himself, and paid his unsuspecting friend only $375, according to Wozniak's own autobiography.

4. The wife he leaves behind
Like the rest of his family life, Jobs kept his marriage out of the public eye. Thinking back on his legacy conjures images of him commanding the stage in his trademark black turtleneck and jeans, and those solo moments are his most iconic. But at home in Palo Alto, Jobs was raising a family with his wife, Laurene, an entrepreneur who attended the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious Wharton business school and later received her MBA at Stanford, where she first met her future husband.

For all of his single-minded dedication to the company he built from the ground up, Jobs actually skipped a meeting to take Laurene on their first date: "I was in the parking lot with the key in the car, and I thought to myself, 'If this is my last night on earth, would I rather spend it at a business meeting or with this woman?' I ran across the parking lot, asked her if she'd have dinner with me. She said yes, we walked into town and we've been together ever since."

In 1991, Jobs and Powell were married in the Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite National Park, and the marriage was officiated by Kobin Chino, a Zen Buddhist monk.

5. His sister is a famous author
Later in his life, Jobs crossed paths with his biological sister while seeking the identity of his birth parents. His sister, Mona Simpson (born Mona Jandali), is the well-known author of
Anywhere But Here — a story about a mother and daughter that was later adapted into a film starring Natalie Portman and Susan Sarandon.

After reuniting, Jobs and Simpson developed a close relationship. Of his sister, he told a New York Times interviewer: "We're family. She's one of my best friends in the world. I call her and talk to her every couple of days.'' Anywhere But Here is dedicated to "my brother Steve."

6. Celebrity romances
In
The Second Coming of Steve Jobs, an unauthorized biography, a friend from Reed reveals that Jobs had a brief fling with folk singer Joan Baez. Baez confirmed the the two were close "briefly," though her romantic connection with Bob Dylan is much better known (Dylan was the Apple icon's favorite musician). The biography also notes that Jobs went out with actress Diane Keaton briefly.

7. His first daughter
When he was 23, Jobs and his high school girlfriend Chris Ann Brennan conceived a daughter, Lisa Brennan Jobs. She was born in 1978, just as Apple began picking up steam in the tech world. He and Brennan never married, and Jobs reportedly denied paternity for some time, going as far as stating that he was sterile in court documents. He went on to father three more children with Laurene Powell. After later mending their relationship, Jobs paid for his first daughter's education at Harvard. She graduated in 2000 and now works as a magazine writer.

8. Alternative lifestyle
In a few interviews, Jobs hinted at his early experience with the psychedelic drug LSD. Of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Jobs said: "I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger."

The connection has enough weight that Albert Hofmann, the Swiss scientist who first synthesized (and took) LSD, appealed to Jobs for funding for research about the drug's therapeutic use.

In a book interview, Jobs called his experience with the drug "one of the two or three most important things I have done in my life." As Jobs himself has suggested, LSD may have contributed to the "think different" approach that still puts Apple's designs a head above the competition.

Jobs will forever be a visionary, and his personal life also reflects the forward-thinking, alternative approach that vaulted Apple to success. During a trip to India, Jobs visited a well-known ashram and returned to the U.S. as a Zen Buddhist.

Jobs was also a pescetarian who didn't consume most animal products, and didn't eat meat other than fish. A strong believer in Eastern medicine, he sought to treat his own cancer through alternative approaches and specialized diets before reluctantly seeking his first surgery for a cancerous tumor in 2004.

9. His fortune
As the CEO of the world's most valuable brand, Jobs pulled in a comically low annual salary of just $1. While the gesture isn't unheard of in the corporate world  — Google's Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt all pocketed the same 100 penny salary annually — Jobs has kept his salary at $1 since 1997, the year he became Apple's lead executive. Of his salary, Jobs joked in 2007: "I get 50 cents a year for showing up, and the other 50 cents is based on my performance."

In early 2011, Jobs owned 5.5 million shares of Apple. After his death, Apple shares were valued at $377.64 — a roughly 43-fold growth in valuation over the last 10 years that shows no signs of slowing down.

He may only have taken in a single dollar per year, but Jobs leaves behind a vast fortune. The largest chunk of that wealth is the roughly $7 billion from the sale of Pixar to Disney in 2006. In 2011, with an estimated net worth of $8.3 billion, he was the 110th richest person in the world, according to Forbes. If Jobs hadn't sold his shares upon leaving Apple in 1985 (before returning to the company in 1996), he would be the world's fifth richest individual.

While there's no word yet on plans for his estate, Jobs leaves behind three children from his marriage to Laurene Jobs (Reed, Erin, and Eve), as well as his first daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs.’

Did LSD help make Steve Jobs more creative? — Slate { I’d say ‘causation’ (cause/effect) becomes problematic here; a ‘chicken and egg’ kind of thing that in the realm of Kantian philosophy would be considered a noumenon; quite possibly even misconstrued by Jobs himself in an overly humble, somewhat self-effacing kind of way, ignoring his innate abilty, brilliance. }  [ That Steve Jobs was great for having literally saved Apple Computer from extinction, there is no question and I’ve previously eulogized him accordingly, ‘pre-death’ (my first computer was an AppleIIc in 1986). Yet, for every story as his, the Beatles (my favorite band all-time, along with the Classical Greats), etc., I can relate a multitude of stories of tragedy, disaster, including one of a quite brilliant lad I worked with – summer job – who expounded on the benefits of LSD expanding one’s mind {repeatedly recommending I try it – I didn’t- never did} was accepted at Columbia Law School, and while hitchhiking while high in mind-expansion-mode walked into a mack truck thereby expanding his mind (and body) all over the roadway, etc..]

The impact of phony short-squeeze rallies — Ritholtz  http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/10/the-mmpact-of-phoney-short-squeezes

Stock investors may take days to distinguish real news from noise, according to Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1007chart.jpg

This is especially true these days, given false announcements of bailouts, Fed interventions and rescues. They tend to cause fake short squeezes that temporarily spike markets, only to see them ultimately head lower.

To get a closer look of noise on markets, the FFRBNY studied how UAL’s stock moved in September 2008. At the time, a “six-year-old report on the company’s bankruptcy filing appeared online and was treated as a new story.”

David Wilson of Bloomberg has the details:

“UAL, which later became United Continental Holdings Inc., plunged as much as 76 percent on Sept. 8, 2008, in response to the error. While UAL’s loss narrowed to 11 percent by the close of trading, the shares fell the next two days before rebounding.

“Residual effects attributable to the false news shock” lasted for seven trading days, the researchers wrote this week in a blog posting on the New York Fed’s website. The effect is at odds with the efficient-market hypothesis, which holds that share prices reflect all publicly available data on a company.

To identify the time period, they estimated where UAL’s shares would have traded if the outdated report hadn’t surfaced. The projection was derived from the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the Bloomberg World Airlines Index and crude oil during the period. The posting by economists Carlos Carvalho, Nicholas Klagge and Emanuel Moench was based on a report they published in May 2009 and revised in June. Carvalho, who teaches economics at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, worked at the New York Fed when the research was originally done. His two co- authors are still there.

Given every twitch of the market over tales of EU/ECB action, German banks bailing out Italy, or anything related to Greece, it is interesting to see how traders behave relative to false announcements.’

 

IMF to Propose New Short-Term Credit Lines Oct 7th, 2011 News (The Wall Street Journal) — The International Monetary Fund is crafting a proposal to offer new short-term credit lines to governments to prevent the spread of global financial crises, senior IMF and finance officials say.The program has the tentative backing of key world financial leaders who are expected to approve the new lending tool at the coming meetings of the Group of 20 industrialized and developing economies, according to three senior officials from G-20 countries.

U.S. Bank Exposure to Europe Could Be $640 Billion, Per Congressional Paper Oct 7th, 2011 News (The Wall Street Journal) — U.S. bank exposure to the European debt crisis is estimated at $640 billion, nearly 5% of total U.S. banking assets, according to recent research papers written for Congress.While U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says the U.S. banking sector’s vulnerability to the euro zone problems is “very limited,” the Congressional Research Service estimate is one of the first public assessments provided by the U.S. government that quantifies the potential risks.According to two different reports provided to federal lawmakers last month, the debt problems of Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, and Spain constitute a ”serious risk” to the European banking system, particularly German, French, and U.K. banks, which have close ties to U.S. banks. Markets believe there’s a very high likelihood Greece will default in the coming weeks. That could cause a cascade of other crises throughout Europe…The estimate doesn’t include U.S. bank exposure to European bank portfolios that include assets in the weak member countries. Also, it doesn’t account for euro-zone assets held by money market, pension, and insurance funds.[source]PG View: Geither’s sense of reality seems to have been distorted by all the absolutely huge numbers bandied about in recent years. Does he really view $640 bln is “very limited?” The Congressional Research Service goes on to say that, “depending on the exposure of non-bank financial institutions and exposure through secondary channels, U.S. exposure to Greece and other euro-zone countries could be considerably higher.” What exactly does “considerably higher” mean? Is it twice the $640 bln? More?

That’s well above the 10 percent regulators plan to require of the world’s largest banks under new international rules.What a difference a summer makes.

Average Duration Of Unemployment Rises To New All Time High Unemployment

 

As noted previously, one key fly in the ointment in an otherwise better than expected jobs report (in which the participation rate also trended higher for a welcome change) was the manufacturing jobs data, which declined by 13,000. Perhaps at the end of the day this is the most important data point, since while declining government jobs at the end of the day is a good thing, government workers don't actually create anything of value for the economy. And as the chart below demonstrates, the long term trend is certainly not our friend. The second "fly", and the one that will certainly be used as a talking point by politicians, was the average unemployment duration. At 40.5 weeks, it just hit a new all time record.

6 Reasons a Global Recession is Unavoidable  Ron DeLegge, October 5, 2011, ‘Most economists and Wall Street types are reluctant to publicly admit the global economy is in a recession. Their reams of conflicting data are sending mixed messages. But an honest look at key events and the behavior of financial markets solidifies the view that the global recession we're probably already in, is unavoidable. Let's analyze some of the reasons behind this.

1) The Fed is out of tricks. When it comes to manipulating financial markets in the name of economic security, nobody matches the Federal Reserve's prowess. Over the past few years, the Fed has engaged in financial gimmickry of such epic proportions that angry calls for ending its existence have been voiced from sea to shining sea. The Fed's Treasury purchases (POMO) and monetization of debt (quantitative easing), may have delayed the reckoning day, but have these programs really solved America's long-term problems? The Fed's latest shift from short-term to long-term debt (Operation Twist) is tantamount to taking money from your right hand pocket and putting it into your shirt pocket. The Fed is running out of time and out of tricks. Ben Bernanke has finally admitted what the general public has known all along; the job situation is a 'national crisis.'

2) Stock market says we're already in a recession.The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) and its leading economists still deny the U.S. economy is in a recession. Apparently, their slide rulers haven't yet confirmed it, so they need a few more quarters before issuing a press release. Meanwhile, the stock market, which is a leading indicator of economic activity, is screaming 'recession.' Large company stocks within the S&P 500 (NYSEArca: SPY - News) have fallen almost 18% since July. Bulls argue this is still shy of the 20% threshold that confirms a bear market, but even so, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MDY - News) and small caps (NYSEArca: IWM - News) have already entered bear territory. Today's stock prices reflect expectations about future earnings, which in turn are connected to the future state of the economy. Expectations are rightfully low.

3) Greece has set the tone for Europe (and maybe the rest of the world).How many financial targets will Greece continue to miss before forecasters stop regurgitating its false numbers? When will Greece stop embarrassing itself with financial projections it knows aren't true? Greece's 2011 deficit was projected to be 8.5% of its GDP but came in almost 1.69 billion above its original targets. Next year, Greece is aiming for a deficit that's 6.8% of GDP. With the country engulfed in civil protests, job strikes and general chaos - how realistic are its 2012 projections? Financial bets for Greece to succeed are a long-shot. The country's economic projections are no longer based upon realistic assumptions, but hopes for garnering more bailout money and calming hostile markets. Ultimately, Greece is merely a reflection of the entire EU region - a place where financial aspirations don't match reality.

4) Bear funds are leading performers.The two-year period from March 2009 to March 2011 was a difficult existence for bear market funds. After bottoming at decade lows, the stock market skyrocketed and bear funds got clobbered.  But not anymore. Bear funds are investments that, by design, increase in value when the underlying benchmarks they track decline. Now with the stock market swooning, bear funds are posting huge gains. Over the past three months, Direxion's 3x daily leveraged bear ETFs for large cap stocks (NYSEArca: BGZ - News) is ahead by 42.97%, mid cap stocks (NYSEArca: MWN - News) is up 58.30% and small caps (NYSEArca: TZA - News) is up by 49.76%. Reversing this ominous trend, especially when key technical levels have been pierced, won't be easy.

5) Major asset classes are in correlation.During a bear market, the correlation between asset classes typically jumps and this is exactly the case right now. Over the past few months, commodities (NYSEArca: GCC - News), global real estate stocks (NYSEArca: RWO - News), precious metals (NYSEArca: GLTR - News), international stocks (NYSEArca: EFA - News), and U.S. stocks (NYSEArca: SCHB - News) have all moved in the same general direction by recording sizable losses. Even gold (NYSEArca: IAU - News) and silver (NYSEArca: SLV - News), which previously escaped the wrath of losses, have joined the party. And only cash and bonds (NYSEArca: AGG - News) are bucking the correlation trend. 

6) Pace of sovereign downgrades is accelerating.We don't advocate putting implicit faith in credit ratings, because history has taught us they are nothing more than financial opinions and frequently, not very accurate ones. Still, a gander at the latest downgrading trend is troublesome. Intuitive observers will note, this is not an isolated phenomenon, but a global trend. Sovereign debt from Greece and Portugal, after several downgrades, is now rated junk. Ireland has been downgraded and Italy was just downgraded by Moody's to A2 with a negative outlook. Japan, along with U.S. debt was lowered in August and another wave of more downgrades is coming, so get used to it. 

Conclusion

Investing in an economically stifled climate requires patience, diligence, and forethought. Following the herd mentality guarantees nothing more than mediocrity and making kneejerk financial decisions is an excellent way to lose money. ETFguide's Profit Strategy ETF Newsletter continues to advocate a fiercely independent view of world events, financial markets, and the proper allocation of money. Ultimately, having an investment strategy that can perform during any kind of market is a good start. ‘ 

 

Consumer Spending Slumps In September, Index Showsat Forbes

 

U.S. stocks' massive "melt-up" fans investor fears Reuters October 5, 2011, By Edward Krudy NEW YORK (Reuters) - In less than one hour on Tuesday, the U.S. stock market surged by 4 percent -- for no apparent reason.The last hour of trading was the most volatile final hour in two months -- and it occurred at a speed that frightens many, from experienced hedge-fund managers to mom-and-pop investors.The late-day "melt-up" that pushed the S&P 500 index (^SPX - News) out of bear-market territory might be construed as good news. But it brings back echoes of the "flash crash" that saw markets dive by several hundred points in a matter of minutes, and it's a big reason many are staying away from the market."Everyone is scared in both ways -- the shorts are scared, the longs are scared, everyone is scared. The high-net-worth investor is very, very scared," said Stephen Solaka, managing partner at Belmont Capital Group in Los Angeles, which manages money for independent wealth advisers and family offices.Tuesday's move was the latest example of an erratic, high-octane stock market increasingly driven by levered exchange traded funds and complicated hedging and options strategies that unwind with dizzying speed.It's a far cry from when the U.S. stock market was viewed as a place for capital-raising by businesses seeking to expand and a place for investors looking to put their savings to work."It tends to result in some market participants feeling like the market is uninvestable. It's not good for mutual funds or hedge funds," said Michael Marrale, head of sales trading at RBC Capital Markets in New York.The ostensible reason for Tuesday's move was an article published late in the day on the Financial Times website quoting the EU's commissioner for economic affairs, Olli Rehn, saying a plan was being worked out to recapitalize the region's troubled banking sector.But Reuters reported similar comments earlier in the day, and Rehn's comments struck some people as covering old ground. Ken Polcari, a veteran of the NYSE floor at ICAP Equities, found the reasoning insufficient."There is no clarity -- 'no formal decision' -- just more speculation, more rumors, and more innuendo," he said of the FT article.

WHAT WENT DOWN

Traders, analysts and investors interviewed by Reuters cited a number of factors, many of them technical, and linked to big positions around the 1100 level on the S&P 500…

BLAST-OFF AT 1,100

The S&P climbed steadily between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., but once it broke through 1,100, the gains accelerated, as the average rose 1 percent in the span between 3:39 p.m. and 3:45 p.m.

For Joe Donohue, money manager at Dimension Trading in Red Bank, New Jersey, the speed of the reversal was a classic sign of automated algorithmic trading.

"I didn't know the move was for real until about 3:40 to 3:45, when my machine just lit up green like a Christmas tree," he said. "That's when you know there's algo buying dictating the market. It certainly wasn't individual buyers."

Donohue's response was to close out short positions and buy a triple-leveraged long exchange traded fund that magnifies the performance of the Russell 2000 (Chicago Options:^RUT - News) three times.

The Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3X Shares (Pacific:TNA - News), which had its busiest day of trading in history on Tuesday, rocketed nearly 20 percent into the close. That ETF, along with the Proshares Ultrashort S&P 500 ETF (Pacific:SDS - News), another leveraged ETF, are now often among the top 25 traded issues on U.S. exchanges.

"Program trading and algorithmic trading was the cause," said Donohue. "We're seeing moves in a half hour that used to take weeks. Obviously we were very oversold technically before, and essentially we had a 'melt-up' that was helped by the algo trading that just went off buying."…’

The trouble is that once Greece gets a bigger haircut, other sovereign borrowers will want one, too. That could get expensive in a hurry.The EFSF bailout fund could fill help weaker countries carry some of that burden, but that will get increasingly problematic.“The more the EFSF’s funds are used to recapitalize banks, the less it will have to provide official financing, or to intervene in the debt markets,” Mr. Higgins writes. “And the more the EFSF is expected to deploy its firepower in whatever capacity, the more investors will believe it will have to be leveraged, with the result that its own cost of borrowing could keep on rising.”

Prophets Of Doom: 12 Shocking Quotes From Insiders The Economic Collapse Oct 1, 2011 ‘We are getting so close to a financial collapse in Europe that you can almost hear the debt bubbles popping.  All across the western world, governments and major banks are rapidly becoming insolvent.  So far, the powers that be are keeping all of the balls in the air by throwing around lots of bailout money.  But now the political will for more bailouts is drying up and the number of troubled entities seems to grow by the day.  Right now the western world is facing a debt crisis that is absolutely unprecedented in world history.  Europe has had a tremendously difficult time just trying to keep Greece afloat, and several much larger European countries are now on the verge of a major financial crisis.  In addition, there is a growing number of very large financial institutions all over the western world that are also rapidly approaching a day of reckoning.  The global financial system is a sea or red ink, and when we get to the point where there are hundreds of ships going under how is it going to be possible to bail all of them out?  The quotes that you are about to read show that quite a few top financial and political insiders know that things cannot hold together much longer and that a horrific economic crisis is coming.  We built the global financial system on a foundation of debt, leverage and risk and now this house of cards that we have created is about to come tumbling down.

A lot of people in politics and in the financial world know what is about to happen.  Once in a while they will even be quite candid about it with the media.

As I have written about previously, Europe is on the verge of a financial collapse.  If things go really badly, things could totally fall apart in a few weeks.  But more likely it will be a few more months until the juggling act ends.

Right now, the banking system in Europe is coming apart at the seams.  Because the global financial system is so interconnected today, when major European banks start to fail it is going to have a cascading effect across the United States and Asia as well.

The financial crisis of 2008 plunged us into the deepest recession since the Great Depression.

The next financial crisis could potentially hit the world even harder.

The following are 12 shocking quotes from insiders that are warning about the horrific economic crisis that is almost here….

#1 George Soros: “Financial markets are driving the world towards another Great Depression with incalculable political consequences. The authorities, particularly in Europe, have lost control of the situation.”

#2 PIMCO CEO Mohammed El-Erian: “These are all signs of an institutional run on French banks. If it persists, the banks would have no choice but to delever their balance sheets in a very drastic and disorderly fashion. Retail depositors would get edgy and be tempted to follow trading and institutional clients through the exit doors. Europe would thus be thrown into a full-blown banking crisis that aggravates the sovereign debt trap, renders certain another economic recession, and significantly worsens the outlook for the global economy.”

#3 Attila Szalay-Berzeviczy, global head of securities services at UniCredit SpA (Italy’s largest bank): “The only remaining question is how many days the hopeless rearguard action of European governments and the European Central Bank can keep up Greece’s spirits.”

#4 Stefan Homburg, the head of Germany’s Institute for Public Finance: “The euro is nearing its ugly end. A collapse of monetary union now appears unavoidable.”

#5 EU Parliament Member Nigel Farage: “I think the worst in the financial system is yet to come, a possible cataclysm and if that happens the gold price could go (higher) to a number that we simply cannot, at this moment, even imagine.”

#6 Carl Weinberg, the chief economist at High Frequency Economics: “At this point, our base case is that Greece will default within weeks.”

#7 Goldman Sachs strategist Alan Brazil: “Solving a debt problem with more debt has not solved the underlying problem. In the US, Treasury debt growth financed the US consumer but has not had enough of an impact on job growth. Can the US continue to depreciate the world’s base currency?”

#8 International Labour Organization director general Juan Somavia recently stated that total unemployment could “increase by some 20m to a total of 40m in G20 countries” by the end of 2012.

#9 Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackerman: “It is an open secret that numerous European banks would not survive having to revalue sovereign debt held on the banking book at market levels.”

#10 Alastair Newton, a strategist for Nomura Securities in London: “We believe that we are just about to enter a critical period for the eurozone and that the threat of some sort of break-up between now and year-end is greater than it has been at any time since the start of the crisis”

#11 Ann Barnhardt, head of Barnhardt Capital Management, Inc.: “It’s over. There is no coming back from this. The only thing that can happen is a total and complete collapse of EVERYTHING we now know, and humanity starts from scratch. And if you think that this collapse is going to play out without one hell of a big hot war, you are sadly, sadly mistaken.”

#12 Lakshman Achuthan of ECRI: “When I call a recession…that means that process is starting to feed on itself, which means that you can yell and scream and you can write a big check, but it’s not going to stop.”

*****

In my opinion, the epicenter of the “next wave” of the financial collapse is going to be in Europe.  But that does not mean that the United States is going to be okay.  The reality is that the United States never recovered from the last recession and there are already a lot of signs that we are getting ready to enter another major recession.  A major financial collapse in Europe would just accelerate our plunge into a new economic crisis.

If you want to read something that will really freak you out, you should check out what Dr. Philippa Malmgren is saying.  Dr. Philippa Malmgren is the President and founder of Principalis Asset Management.  She is also a former member of the Bush economic team. You can find her bio right here.

Malmgren is claiming that Germany is seriously considering bringing back the Deutschmark.  In fact, she claims that Germany is very busy printing new currency up.  In a list of things that we could see happen over the next few months, she included the following….

“The Germans announce they are re-introducing the Deutschmark. They have already ordered the new currency and asked that the printers hurry up.”

This is quite a claim for someone to be making.  You would think that someone that used to work in the White House would not make such a claim unless it was based on something solid.

If Germany did decide to leave the euro, you would see an implosion of the euro that would be truly historic.

 

But as I have written about previously, it should not surprise anyone that theend of the euro is being talked about because the euro simply does not work.

The only way that the euro would have had a chance of working is if all of the governments using the euro would have kept debt levels very low.

Unfortunately, the financial systems of the western world are designed to push governments into high levels of debt.

The truth is that the euro was doomed from the very beginning.

Now we are approaching a day of reckoning.  We have been living in the greatest debt bubble in the history of the world, but the bubble is ending.  There are several ways that the powers that be could handle this, but all of them will lead to greater financial instability.

In the end, we will see that the debt-fueled prosperity that the western world has been enjoying for decades was just an illusion.

Debt is a very cruel master.  It will almost always bring more pain and suffering than you anticipated.

It is easy to get into debt, but it can be very difficult to get out of debt.

There is no way that the western world can unwind this debt spiral easily.

The only way that another massive economic crisis can be put off for even a little while would be for the powers that be to “kick the can down the road” a little farther by creating even more debt.

But in the end, you can never solve a debt problem with more debt.

The next several years are going to be an incredibly clear illustration of why debt is bad.

When the dominoes start to fall, we are going to witness a financial avalanche which is going to destroy the finances of millions of people.

You might want to try to get out of the way while you still can.’

 

IMF: World economy enters 'dangerous new phase'  Christopher S. Rugaber, AP Economics Writer, On Tuesday September 20, 2011, WASHINGTON (AP) – ‘The world economy has entered a "dangerous new phase," according to the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. As a result, the international lending organization has sharply downgraded its economic outlook for the United States and Europe through the end of next year.

The IMF expects the U.S. economy to grow just 1.5 percent this year and 1.8 percent in 2012. That's down from its June forecast of 2.5 percent in 2011 and 2.7 percent next year.

To achieve even that still-low level of growth, the U.S. economy would need to expand at a much faster rate in the second half of the year than its 0.7 percent annual pace in the first six months.

Most economists expect growth of between 1.5 percent and 2 percent in the final two quarters. Though an improvement, it wouldn't be enough to lower the unemployment rate. The rate has been 9 percent or higher in all but two months since the recession officially ended more than two years ago.

"The global economy has entered a dangerous new phase," said Olivier Blanchard, the IMF's chief economist. "The recovery has weakened considerably. Strong policies are needed to improve the outlook and reduce the risks."

The IMF has also lowered its outlook for the 17 countries that use the euro. It predicts 1.6 percent growth this year and 1.1 percent next year, down from its June projections of 2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively.

The gloomier forecast for Europe is based on worries that euro nations won't be able to contain their debt crisis and keep it from destabilizing the region.

"Markets have clearly become more skeptical about the ability of many countries to stabilize their public debt," Blanchard said. "Fear of the unknown is high."

Overall, the IMF predicts global growth of 4 percent for both years. Stronger growth in China, India, Brazil and other developing countries should offset weaker output in the United States and Europe.

Financial turmoil and slow growth are feeding on each other in both the United States and Europe, IMF officials say. Europe's debt crisis is causing banks to reduce lending and hold onto cash. Sharp stock market drops in the United States over the summer have hurt consumer and business confidence and will likely reduce spending. That slows growth, which leads many investors to shift money out of stocks and into safer investments, such as Treasury bonds.

In Europe, slower growth will make it harder for stressed nations to get their debt under control.

U.S. and European policymakers must act more decisively to cut budget deficits, the IMF said.

European banks need to boost their capital buffers more quickly and beyond new minimum levels set to come into force in 2019, the IMF said.

European banks have seen their stocks slide sharply this summer on fears that their exposure to the government debt of shaky countries like Greece could result in big losses.

Having extra capital would bolster confidence in the banking sector and shield Europe's economy from the impact of jitters in financial markets.

The U.S. economy faces longer-lasting problems that go beyond high gas prices and disruptions caused by the Japan crisis, the IMF said.

Employers are adding few jobs and giving out meager pay raises. Many homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Banks are keeping credit tight.

All those trends are holding back consumer spending. Unemployment is likely to average 9 percent next year, the IMF's report said, echoing a recent estimate by the Obama administration.

President Barack Obama's proposal to cut taxes and spend more on infrastructure should provide much-needed short-term stimulus, the IMF said. But it needs to be paired with a longer-term plan to reduce the deficit over, the report said. The timing of the budget cuts is key, Blanchard said.

Budget cuts "cannot be too fast or it will kill growth," Blanchard said in a statement. "It cannot be too slow or it will kill credibility."

President Obama on Monday proposed more than $3 trillion of tax increases and spending cuts over 10 years. His proposal will be considered by a congressional panel charged with finding $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction this year.

Both Obama's jobs proposal and the tax increases face stiff opposition from Republicans. They oppose any tax increases and have strongly criticized the president's plans.

The 187-member nation fund conducts economic analysis and lends money to countries in financial distress. It will hold its annual meetings with the World Bank later this week in Washington.

A Fed IOER Cut Could Backfire on Banks, Warns Pimco at The Wall Street Journal

 

Low Interest Rates: Perma-Expectations No More at Minyanville Howard Simons Sep 20, 2011 ‘Regarding interest rates, one major difference between the US and Japan is that their perma-expectations started to disappear in a rising short-term rate environment; US rates have yet to rise. All of the recent news surrounding Steve Jobs’ departure from Apple prompted me to remark, “He has a strange opportunity to read his own obituary.” For the most part, he would have to be pleased at all of the genuine praise heaped on him.

This prompted me to wonder about what I would want on my tombstone other than, “He should’ve known better.” One candidate could be, “He used the word ‘swaption’ on a popular website and got away with it.” I did; most recently in a discussion of the Federal Reserve’s credibility to keep on doing the incredible, keeping interest rates near zero through 2013 (see Is FOMC's Pledge to Keep Short-Term Interest Rates Low Until 2013 Believable?).

Forward Rates When the Future Is Now

Can the swaption conclusion be confirmed by another indicator? Yes; let’s return to a thread last updated in December 2010 (see Is This the End of the Money-Printing Era?) on the relationship between the forward rates between six and nine months and the actual three-month rate as it arrives six months later. If the gap between expectation and reality is high, it means the market has been fooled again in its expectations that low short-term interest rates must be headed in one direction, higher. The opposite has been observed in practice, too; markets can incorrectly price in expectations for low short-term rates and get whacked upside the head by reality.

Where are we today? The expectations gap, marked with roseate columns, is shrinking, although it is still at levels unprecedented until the adoption of zero interest rate policies (ZIRP) in December 2008. This is the same thing as saying forward rates are in the process of declining to levels that will be matched by actual three-month rates six months from now. If you are keeping track of these months by counting on your fingers, we see you.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/JimE/Simongraph1.jpg

The chart above uses weekly data. Let’s go down to daily data for the period following the end of QE1. Two dates are marked, one when the debt ceiling debate in July was taking the ominous course toward default and one just after the August FOMC meeting. Both developments put the market on course toward accepting that low rates were going to be here for awhile; the intractable federal debt can be serviced only at low levels without doing something really, really stupid like cutting out-of-control spending.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_Jan2011/Image/JimE/Simongraph2.jpg

Where To Now?

Japan has had a much longer experience with these low rates and one attempt, between November 2005 and July 2006, to start moving away from them. One major difference between the U.S. and Japan here is that their perma-expectations started to disappear in a rising short-term rate environment; our rates have yet to rise. Still, the Japanese attempt failed as the hint of higher interest rates caused yen carry trades to start unwinding around the world. Once low interest rates become embedded in an economy, they are very hard to increase without stress.

Despite the failures of QE1 and QE2 and the impending failure of whatever they announce next, the Federal Reserve has convinced itself they are doing something right. How would “They never learned from their mistakes” look on their tombstone?’

 

 

Is This the End of the Money-Printing Era?  Howard Simons Dec 01, 2010 ‘If monetary stimulus ends and we start recognizing losses rather than trying to roll them forward, we can lay the foundation for a new era of prosperity. [Note the date and hence Simons’ wisdom! Yet, the postponement / delay has substantially impaired that ‘prosperity part’ going forward.]

  ‘Of all the negative human emotions, the feeling you have been had is one of the worst. We all have heard the adage, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me,” and if I had a nickel for every time I have heard “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” both former President Bush and I would have a lot of nickels.

Well, it is red-face time: Even though the Federal Reserve has been on a mission-from-wad since August 17, 2007, the date when they executed a premarket rate cut in the target federal funds rate, to 6.00%, and even though they had already executed QE1 and were three months away from hinting at QE2, they managed to drive short-term interest rates unexpectedly low by the end of July. This is after I wrote, Short-Term Interest Rates No Longer Unexpectedly Low in May.

Let’s update that piece in light of what I have to admit was, in technical terms, a pretty good stunt on their part. First, a review: If we take the forward rate of LIBOR between six and nine months (FR6,9); that is, the rate at which we can lock in borrowing for three months starting six months from now, we have the market’s hedgeable measure of where rates will be. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that this is not an interest rate forecast, but a rate at which two parties can do business and presumably both make a profit given this locked-in rate. This can be compared to what the actual three-month rate was six months later.

That “expectations gap” is depicted in the roseate columns below. The December 2008 and March 2009 dates when the US first went to zero interest rates and quantitative easing, respectively, are marked with orange and violet vertical lines; both the July 30 and the last datum are highlighted with bright-red columns.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_May2009/Image/LisaCatch%20September2010/plainsight.jpg

The chart above is done at a weekly frequency and is long-term to demonstrate how unusual the last two years have been in the ability of three-month rates to trade well below the market’s expectations from six months ago. Let’s shorten the time frame and move to a daily frequency.

http://image.minyanville.com/assets/FCK_May2009/Image/LisaCatch%20September2010/plainsight2.jpg

Two points are marked in black on this chart, one in mid-July when I identified the market’s demand for lower short-term interest rates and the August 27, 2010 date of Ben Bernanke’s Jackson Hole speech promising new asset highs if he could drive money to new lows.

The market took the bait, as we all know, and rallied strongly into the actual announcement of QE2 whereupon a large number of FOMC officials and foreign poo-bahs started wandering around like the somnambulant Lady Macbeth or Alec Guinness’ Colonel Nicholson in The Bridge on the River Kwai wondering, “What have I done?”

You counterfeited the US dollar to a fare-thee-well, that’s what you have done. Didn’t you think about this beforehand?

We have seen twice in the past two years how mainlining some high-grade monetary heroin can lead to higher returns for risky assets; this should be about as surprising as learning nitroglycerin can be noisy when handled improperly. Now that we are into QE2 and our friends in the European Monetary Union are about to reprise their May stunt of backstopping Greece by backstopping Ireland -- it will take them a long time to form a circle, sing kumbaya in their various languages and have each of the 16 members of the euro rescued in turn -- we have to wonder if we are at last at the end of the line for monetary stimulus. Methinks we are.

The implications are not as dire as they may sound. If the end of the printing-press era means we do what we should have started doing in 2007 -- recognizing losses rather than trying to roll them forward -- we can lay the foundation for a new era of prosperity. It would be the right thing to do.’

 

 

 

IMF Cuts Global Growth Outlook, Warns About U.S. Deficits, Euro Banks at Forbes  ‘The International Monetary Fund dialed back its outlook for the global economy Tuesday, and now projects worldwide growth of 4% in 2011 and 2012, down from 5% in 2010.

Some slowdown was anticipated, but the IMF expected it to come from an unwind of the unprecedented stimulus efforts launched to counteract the financial crisis over the last three years.  Instead, “a barrage of economic shocks in 2011 combined with other factors for a worse than anticipated outcome.”

Chief economist Olivier Blanchard warned that “strong policies are urgently needed to improve the outlook and to reduce the risks,” and the IMF said the economy is in “a dangerous new phase” marked by weaker activity and a sharp decline in confidence.

 

Gallery: The IMF’s 2012 Growth Forecast

Tuesday’s report comes as the Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting at which Chairman Ben Bernanke is likely to meet resistance if he pushes for further intervention along the lines of additional Treasury purchases, following an August meeting that saw three dissents from the central bank’s decision to target a 0% benchmark interest rate until mid-2013.

Meanwhile, European leaders are still trying to find a solution that will keep Greece from defaulting and keeping the debt crisis outside of core Europe. (See “Europe Needs A TARP.”)

One could be forgiven if it seems like pundits and policymakers are talking out of both sides of their mouth, urging further aid for scuffling economies while at the same time preaching that countries need to get religion on long-term debts.

Gallery: The IMF’s 2012 Growth Forecast

The IMF offered its view on the forceful actions that policymakers in developed economies should undertake:

• In the euro area, banks must be made stronger, not only to avoid deleveraging and maintain growth, but also, and more importantly, to reduce risks of vicious feedback loops between low growth, weak sovereigns, and weak banks. This requires additional capital buffers, from either private or public sources.

• The top priorities in the United States include devising a medium-term fiscal consolidation plan to put public debt on a sustainable path and to implement policies to sustain the recovery, including by easing the adjustment in the housing and labor markets. The new American Jobs Act would provide needed short-term support to the economy, but it must be flanked with a strong medium-term fiscal plan that raises revenues and contains the growth of entitlement spending.

• In Japan, the government should pursue more ambitious measures to deal with the very high level of public debt while attending to the immediate need for reconstruction and development in the areas hit by the earthquake and tsunami.

The updated forecast anticipates U.S. growth of just 1.5% in 2011 and 1.8% in 2012, with euro area growth of 1.6% this year falling to 1.1% next year. Emerging and developing economies will also grow slower than previously anticipated, but remain the workhorses of global growth, the IMF anticipates. China is expected to grow at a better than 9% clip this year and next, while Brazil is expected to maintain annual growth better than 3.5%.

Gold shot higher on the IMF’s sober growth outlook, adding $24.50 to $1,803.40 an ounce. U.S. stocks righted themselves after a choppy start, buy fell from their best levels of the day in the final hour of trade with the Dow Jones industrial average up 57 points to 11,458 and the S&P 500 2 points higher at 1,206. The Nasdaq slipped into the red, down 16 points, to 2,597.

Eurozone debt crisis threatens banks, rest of world: IMF Economic Times | The eurozone’s debt mountain poses a threat to the world economy.


 

 

America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s Sep 21st, 2011 News (CNN) — Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks. Social Security can no longer afford to send us our annual benefit statements. The House can no longer afford its congressional pages. The Pentagon can no longer afford the pension and health care benefits of retired service members. NASA is no longer planning a manned mission to Mars. We’re broke for a reason. We’ve spent six decades accumulating a huge official debt (U.S. Treasury bills and bonds) and vastly larger unofficial debts to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits to today’s and tomorrow’s 100 million-plus retirees. The government’s total indebtedness — its fiscal gap — now stands at $211 trillion, by my arithmetic. [source]

Holders of Sovereign Debt Sep 21st, 2011 News by Global Macro Monitor (CreditWritedowns.com) — Here’s a great chart just released by the International Monetary Fund. Note that almost half — 47 percent – of the US$14.7 trillion U.S. federal government debt is held by the Federal Reserve and the government itself, such as the Social Security trust fund. Add to that the 22 percent foreign official holdings (mainly central banks) and almost 70 percent of the debt of the U.S. government is held by non-market/non-profit oriented investors. Stunning! [source]
http://www.albertpeia.com/holders-of-sovereign-debt.jpg
PG View: I would argue that “non-market/non-profit oriented investors” own the vast majority of government debt, because the risk/reward ratios have been so grossly distorted by government and central bank interventions that real investors have no interest is such assets. And it sure looks like official efforts to continue mispricing risk are going to continue.

US taxpayers could be on hook for Europe bailout Sep 16th, 2011 13:01 by News (MSNBC) — The U.S. is coming to Europe’s financial rescue.So far, America’s role is fairly limited. But if the crisis continues to grow and the U.S. takes on a wider role, U.S. consumers and taxpayers could feel a bigger impact. The biggest exposure could come from America’s status as the single largest source of money for the International Monetary Fund.The latest round of American financial assistance came Thursday with a promise by the Federal Reserve to swap as many dollars for euros as European bankers need. In the short run, those transactions won’t have much impact because the central banks are simply swapping currencies of equal value. If the move helps avert a wider crisis, it could help spare the global economy from another recession.But over the long term, consumers could feel the impact of central bankers flooding the financial system with cash, according to John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics.[source]

A Band-Aid for a cancer patient Sep 16th, 2011 12:48 by News (papermoneycollapse.com) — This was another hectic week for financial markets, and nerves were calmed somewhat over the past 24 hours with another liquidity injection from the central banks – this time the provision of dollars from the U.S. Fed channelled through a few other central banks, most importantly the ECB. This is certainly not a solution but again the doctoring of symptoms. Pumping ever more fiat money into the system to avoid – or rather postpone – a much needed recalibration will not solve the underlying malaise. Four years into the crisis the banks still need emergency funding. That is a damning indictment that financial structures are far from sustainable.…A default of Greece now appears very likely. This is a positive development. Positive as it points toward shrinkage – toward smaller debt, toward a smaller Greek state, toward an important lesson for banks: Don’t think that lending to the state is without risk!…The biggest risk to the euro is not a Greek default but the markets waking up to the bleak long-term outlook for the solvency of the core, Germany and France.…Thus, we will get some liquidation (Greek debt) but also some re-liquefying (big banks). It will not be the end of the euro – but not the end of the financial crisis either.[source]

PG View: I concur with this assessment. The contingency plan to protect the German banks is presumably in place. Liquidity lines have been established. Payment of the next bailout tranche for Greece has been forestalled until October. Seems like Greece is about to get pitched under the bus…

The Fed’s shadow TARP News by Sen. Jim DeMint August 31 (Politico) — ‘In the run-up to the financial crisis, the Federal Reserve fueled the housing bubble with its easy money policy.

The Fed’s Shadow TARP issued $1.2 trillion in loans to domestic and foreign banks from 2007 to 2010, far more than Congress authorized Treasury to spend under TARP.…Congress eventually approved a partial audit that showed the Fed extended an incredible $16 trillion – more than the entire U.S. economy – in aggregate lending authority to foreign and domestic banks from the end of 2007 to the middle of 2010…After the second round of quantitative easing was announced, Chinese Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said America “does not recognize, as a country that issues one of the world’s major reserve currencies, its obligation to stabilize capital markets.”German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was more blunt, calling the Fed “clueless.” [source]’

I would say the recession is 65 percent, 75 percent certain.”The economist warned that should recession kick in, the global economy might be too weak to generate any GDP growth for years, or even decades.’

25 Signs That The Financial World Is About To Hit The Big Red Panic Button The Economic Collapse | Most of the worst financial panics in history have happened in the fall.  Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Most of the worst financial panics in history have happened in the fall.  Just recall what happened in 1929, 1987 and 2008.  Well, September 2011 is about to begin and there are all kinds of signs that the financial world is about to hit the big red panic button.  Wave after wave of bad economic news has come out of the United States recently, and Europe is embroiled in an absolutely unprecedented debt crisis.  At this point there is a very real possibility that the euro may not even survive.  So what is causing all of this?  Well, over the last couple of decades a gigantic debt bubble has fueled a tremendous amount of “fake prosperity” in the western world.  But for a debt bubble to keep going, the total amount of debt has to keep expanding at an ever increasing pace.  Unfortunately for the global economy, sources of credit are starting to dry up.  That is why you hear terms like “credit crisis” and “credit crunch” thrown around so much these days.  Without enough credit to feed the monster, the debt bubble is going to burst.  At this point, virtually the entire global economy runs on credit, so when this debt bubble bursts things could get really, really messy.

Nations and financial institutions would never get into debt trouble if they could always borrow as much money as they wanted at extremely low interest rates.  But what has happened is that lending sources are balking at continuing to lend cheap money to nations and financial institutions that are already up to their eyeballs in debt.

For example, the yield on 2 year Greek bonds is now over 40 percent.  Investors don’t trust the Greek government and they are demanding a huge return in order to lend them more money.

Throughout the financial world right now there is a lot of fear.  Lending conditions have gotten very tight.  Financial institutions are not eager to lend money to each other or to anyone else.  This “credit crunch” is going to slow down the economy.  Just remember what happened back in 2008.  When easy credit stops flowing, the dominoes can start falling very quickly.

 

Sadly, this is a cycle that can feed into itself.  When credit is tight, the economy slows down and more businesses fail.  That causes financial institutions to want to tighten up things even more in order to avoid the “bad credit risks”.  Less economic activity means less tax revenue for governments.  Less tax revenue means larger budget deficits and increased borrowing by governments.    But when government debt gets really high that can cause huge economic problems like we are witnessing in Greece right now.  The cycle of tighter credit and a slowing economy can go on and on and on.

I spend a lot of time talking about problems with the U.S. economy, but the truth is that the rest of the world is dealing with massive problems as well right now.  As bad as things are in the U.S., the reality is that Europe looks like it may be “ground zero” for the next great financial crisis.

At this point the EU essentially has three choices.  It can choose much deeper economic integration (which would mean a huge loss of sovereignty), it can choose to keep the status quo going for as long as possible by providing the PIIGS with gigantic bailouts, or it can choose to end of the euro and return to individual national currencies.

Any of those choices would be very messy.  At this point there is not much political will for much deeper economic integration, so the last two alternatives appear increasingly likely.

In any event, global financial markets are paralyzed by fear right now.  Nobody knows what is going to happen next, but many now fear that whatever does come next will not be good.

The following are 25 signs that the financial world is about to hit the big red panic button….

#1 According to a new study just released by Merrill Lynch, the U.S. economy has an 80% chance of going into another recession.

#2 Will Bank of America be the next Lehman Brothers?  Shares of Bank of America have fallen more than 40% over the past couple of months.  Even though Warren Buffet recently stepped in with 5 billion dollars, the reality is that the problems for Bank of America are far from over.  In fact, one analyst is projecting that Bank of America is going to need to raise 40 or 50 billion dollars in new capital.

#3 European bank stocks have gotten absolutely hammered in recent weeks.

#4 So far, major international banks have announced layoffs of more than 60,000 workers, and more layoff announcements are expected this fall.  A recent article in the New York Times detailed some of the carnage….

A new wave of layoffs is emblematic of this shift as nearly every major bank undertakes a cost-cutting initiative, some with names like Project Compass. UBS has announced 3,500 layoffs, 5 percent of its staff, and Citigroup is quietly cutting dozens of traders. Bank of America could cut as many as 10,000 jobs, or 3.5 percent of its work force. ABN Amro, Barclays, Bank of New York Mellon, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Lloyds, State Street and Wells Fargo have in recent months all announced plans to cut jobs — tens of thousands all told.

#5 Credit markets are really drying up.  Do you remember what happened in 2008 when that happened?  Many are now warning that we are getting very close to a repeat of that.

#6 The Conference Board has announced that the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index fell from 59.2 in July to 44.5 in August.  That is the lowest reading that we have seen since the last recession ended.

#7 The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index has fallen by almost 20 points over the last three months.  This index is now the lowest it has beenin 30 years.

#8 The Philadelphia Fed’s latest survey of regional manufacturing activity was absolutely nightmarish….

The survey’s broadest measure of manufacturing conditions, the diffusion index of current activity, decreased from a slightly positive reading of 3.2 in July to -30.7 in August. The index is now at its lowest level since March 2009

#9 According to Bloomberg, since World War II almost every time that the year over year change in real GDP has fallen below 2% the U.S. economy has fallen into a recession….

Since 1948, every time the four-quarter change has fallen below 2 percent, the economy has entered a recession. It’s hard to argue against an indicator with such a long history of accuracy.

#10 Economic sentiment is falling in Europe as well.  The following is from a recent Reuters article….

A monthly European Commission survey showed economic sentiment in the 17 countries using the euro, a good indication of future economic activity, fell to 98.3 in August from a revised 103 in July with optimism declining in all sectors.

#11 The yield on 2 year Greek bonds is now an astronomical 42.47%.

#12 As I wrote about recently, the European Central Bank has stepped into the marketplace and is buying up huge amounts of sovereign debt from troubled nations such as Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy.  As a result, the ECB is alsomassively overleveraged at this point.

#13 Most of the major banks in Europe are also leveraged to the hilt and have tremendous exposure to European sovereign debt.

#14 Political wrangling in Europe is threatening to unravel the Greek bailout package.  In a recent article, Satyajit Das described what has been going on behind the scenes in the EU….

The sticking point is a demand for collateral for the second bailout package. Finland demanded and got Euro 500 million in cash as security against their Euro 1,400 million share of the second bailout package. Hearing of the ill-advised side deal between Greece and Finland, Austria, the Netherlands and Slovakia also are now demanding collateral, arguing that their banks were less exposed to Greece than their counterparts in Germany and France entitling them to special treatment. At least, one German parliamentarian has also asked the logical question, why Germany is not receiving similar collateral.

#15 German Chancellor Angela Merkel is trying to hold the Greek bailout deal together, but a wave of anti-bailout “hysteria” is sweeping Germany, and nowaccording to Ambrose Evans-Pritchard it looks like Merkel may not have enough votes to approve the latest bailout package….

German media reported that the latest tally of votes in the Bundestag shows that 23 members from Mrs Merkel’s own coalition plan to vote against the package, including twelve of the 44 members of Bavaria’s Social Christians (CSU). This may force the Chancellor to rely on opposition votes, risking a government collapse.

#16 Polish finance minister Jacek Rostowski is warning that the status quo in Europe will lead to “collapse“.  According to Rostowski, if the EU does not choose the path of much deeper economic integration the eurozone simply is not going to survive much longer….

“The choice is: much deeper macroeconomic integration in the eurozone or its collapse. There is no third way.”

#17 German voters are against the introduction of “Eurobonds” by about a 5 to 1 margin, so deeper economic integration in Europe does not look real promising at this point.

#18 If something goes wrong with the Greek bailout, Greece is financially doomed.  Just consider the following excerpt from a recent article by Puru Saxena….

In Greece, government debt now represents almost 160% of GDP and the average yield on Greek debt is around 15%. Thus, if Greece’s debt is rolled over without restructuring, its interest costs alone will amount to approximately 24% of GDP. In other words, if debt pardoning does not occur, nearly a quarter of Greece’s economic output will be gobbled up by interest repayments!

#19 The global banking system has a total of 2 trillion dollars of exposure to Greek, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian debt.  Considering how much the global banking system is leveraged, this amount of exposure could end up wiping out a lot of major financial institutions.

#20 The head of the IMF, Christine Largarde, recently warned that European banks are in need of “urgent recapitalization“.

#21 Once the European crisis unravels, things could move very rapidly downhill.  In a recent article, John Mauldin put it this way….

It is only a matter of time until Europe has a true crisis, which will happen faster – BANG! – than any of us can now imagine. Think Lehman on steroids. The U.S. gave Europe our subprime woes. Europe gets to repay the favor with an even more severe banking crisis that, given that the U.S. is at best at stall speed, will tip us into a long and serious recession. Stay tuned.

#22 The U.S. housing market is still a complete and total mess.  According to a recently released report, U.S. home prices fell 5.9% in the second quarter compared to a year earlier.  That was the biggest decline that we have seen since 2009.  But even with lower prices very few people are buying.  According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of previously owned homesdropped 3.5 percent during July.  That was the third decline in the last four months.  Sales of previously owned homes are even lagging behind last year’s pathetic pace.

#23 According to John Lohman, the decline in U.S. economic data over the past three months has been absolutely unprecedented.

#24 Morgan Stanley now says that the U.S. and Europe are “hovering dangerously close to a recession” and that there is a good chance we could enter one at some point in the next 6 to 12 months.

#25 Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota says that he is so alarmed about the state of the economy that he may drop his opposition to more monetary easing.  Could more quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve soon be on the way? …’

 

 

 

If We Punished Executives the Way China Does, We Wouldn't Have Any Left Minyanville Justin Rohrlich [ I think we should consider this approach, starting with the frauds on wall street, which of course in the sense of ‘all roads lead to’, will unearth other criminals deserving of such treatment since their corruption has had ‘life/death’ effects on the general populace through no fault of their own!] ‘Here in the United States, we've certainly gotten far more than we ever bargained for when it comes to corruption in the collective C-suite.

A few have been punished. Many have not. In China, though, they kill their Dennis Kozlowskis.

Yesterday, Li Hua, former chairman and general manager of the Sichuan division of China Mobile (CHL), was sentenced to death for accepting more than $2.5 million in bribes.

The Intermediate People’s Court in the southwestern city of Panzhihua handed down the verdict with a two-year reprieve, meaning if Li behaves himself, he could skate with a mere slap on the wrist -- life in prison.

The New York Times points out that the "same type of sentence was handed down last month for one of the company’s other former executives, Zhang Chunjiang, who once served as vice chairman of China Mobile,” which also included “the confiscation of his personal assets and the removal of his political rights.”

He was convicted of accepting more than $1.15 million in bribes while working at a series of state-run telecom companies from 1994 to 2009. At least six other executives from China Mobile are under investigation in corruption cases. (It may be worth noting that last week, China Mobile revealed that it “met several times with Steve Jobs to talk about Apple (AAPL) making an iPhone that would support its proprietary 3G standard." Currently, China Unicom (CHU) is the only carrier in China offering the device. )

When Chen Tonghai, former chairman of Sinopec (SNP), was sentenced to death for bribery in 2009, he was also granted a two-year reprieve after confessing to his crimes. According to state-run news service Xinhua, the court cut Chen a break of sorts, stating that for "crimes involving 'extremely large sums of money,' the suspects should be sentenced to death, but 'if they confess or contribute to the handling of relevant cases, they should not get an immediate death penalty in principle.'"

"Chen Tonghai's sentence is a result of people's court's criminal policies and reflects both severe punishment of corruption and the policy of tempering justice with mercy," Xinhua said.

But, Chinese justice lacks a particularly even hand. State-run news service Xinhua explains why certain executions are performed more hastily than others:

Corrupt officials, such as former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress Cheng Kejie who was executed in September 2000, former vice governor of Anhui Province Wang Huaizhong who was given a lethal injection in February 2004, and former food and drug administration head Zheng Xiaoyu, executed in July 2007, got immediate death sentences because they "refused to plead guilty" and their bribe-taking "caused extremely serious social impact.”


This spring, China revised the law, when authorities deemed 13 non-violent economic offenses to no longer be executable crimes, though Amnesty International called it "legal housekeeping," as the infractions were “all… seldom if ever punished by execution” to begin with.

Andrew Yang of the Laogai Research Foundation -- established in 1992 by Harry Wu, a democracy activist and survivor of the laogai, China’s system of forced-labor prison camps -- provided us with a translation of the official list (which just so happens not to include bribery):

  • Smuggling of antiques or cultural relics
  • Smuggling of precious metals
  • Smuggling of rare animals or products
  • Smuggling of ordinary goods or objects
  • Fraudulent activities with financial bills
  • Fraudulent activities involving letters of credit
  • Forged value-added tax invoices
  • False issuance of value-added tax invoices
  • The teaching of criminal methods
  • Theft of ancient human remains or fossils of vertebrates

And finally, simple “theft.”

However, the Chinese leadership doesn’t rely solely on the legal system to control the business community at large.

From Russell Lee Moses, writing for the Wall Street Journal’s China Real Time Report:

After weeks of taking jabs to the chin from an angry microblogging public, leading forces in the [Chinese Communist] Party have decided to punch back. Politburo member Liu Qi visited the Beijing offices of Sina.com’s (SINA) popular microblogging service Weibo earlier this week and impressed upon the staff there the need for “the Internet’s healthy development”—code words for staying away from topics which attack the rule of the Communist Party or hold officials up for public ridicule.

[…]

Liu’s strong-arm visit follows a series of admonitions in the Party media, warning journalists to get back into the government fold and to play the role of conveying to a skeptical society that cadres care.
The hardline view, expressed in a recent article posted in the “People’s Forum” run by the official People’s Daily, is that microblogging is best confronted, not by embracing it as a way for the public to supervise the Party, but by the Party’s “use [of] the mass media to tell the truth.”


By all accounts, corruption is so thoroughly ingrained in the operating culture of Chinese officialdom, the roles in this situation seem to be comically reversed.

“There is really no way to control the corruption among Chinese officials,” Yang told me in a telephone interview. “If bribery was not punishable by death, corrupt officials would be even bolder in grabbing the public’s wealth. And without a free press, the behavior of officials cannot be monitored, so corruption simply runs wild.”

James H. Zimmerman, Jr., Amnesty International's Country Specialist for China, says the execution of government officials for bribery “is fairly common.”

In an email message, Zimmerman pointed out that “most have been politically isolated, so they have no one coming to their defense.”

The majority of China’s citizenry certainly isn’t.

As explained by Teng Biao of China’s Economic Observer (and translated by Worldcrunch.com), “China is the global leader for the number of corrupt officials who are sentenced to death, and actually executed each year. But, judging by the seemingly endless ‘public demand’ for this kind of punishment and the surging popular anger, it would seem that there is actually not enough of it.”

And Joshua Rosenzweig, former senior researcher at the Di Hua Foundation, a human rights organization based in San Francisco and Hong Kong, told the Washington Post that “there still is a very strong sense that corrupt officials must die among the Chinese population at large. The revulsion for that offense is so strong that there would be a potential political cost to eliminating the death penalty for corruption."

Not altogether surprisingly, the specter of death doesn’t necessarily act as a deterrent.

In 2009, a six-year old schoolgirl in southern China was asked by a television reporter what she wanted to become when she grew up.

"When I grow up I want to be an official," she replied.

"What kind of official?" asked the interviewer.

"A corrupt official because corrupt officials have a lot of things," she said.’

MKM Bracing For SPY To Drop 8% More; Nasdaq Nearing August Lows at Barrons.com Murray Coleman ‘Stocks continue to slump today, reeling from a raft of ugly data and growing concerns about European sovereign debt. But how far lower can ETFs tracking key benchmarks slide? MKM Partners’ technical analyst Katie Stockton sees a range around $110 a share for the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as the next level of support. That would represent about a 3-4% drop from current levels. SPY most recently was trading down 4.6% at $114.09 a share. “I do expect that level ($110) to be re-tested in coming weeks,” Stockton said in an interview, noting that level had been tested early last week and held. The problem is that her indicators show that blue chip U.S. stocks still could have a ways to go. “The market doesn’t appear oversold at this point, so the market looks like it could go lower,” Stockton said. Perhaps the most important level for SPY is the February 2010 low of $105 a share, roughly 8% below current levels. “That level hasn’t been broken on a decisive basis yet,” Stockton noted. “That’s the number we’re really keeping a close eye on after what’s taken place today.” Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq’s near-term backdrop looks just as volatile, notes Michael Ashbaugh in his Technical Trader investment letter. With Thursday’s downturn, the benchmark has knifed straight through initial support at 2,493 placing it back within August-crash territory. In the near-term, the veteran technician expects to see modest support at around 2,357 — its August closing low. That’s around 0.6% from where the index’s trading at now.’

How Low Will Stocks Go? at Minyanville  By MoneyShow.com Aug 12, 2011  Up 500 points one day, down 500 the next. That’s the way the market is these days.

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 520 points, erasing all of Tuesday’s gains from the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep short-term interest rates near zero. As of noon Thursday, it’s up about 250.

By Wednesday’s close, the Dow had lost 2,000 points, or more than 15% of its value, since July 21. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes lost slightly more during that time. All three are perilously close to the 20% decline from the late April-early May top that many pundits (particularly in the media) use as a rule of thumb to determine a bear market.

Unfortunately, I think stocks have still lower to go. How low? Later in this column I’ll tell you what some respected technical analysts think.

But let’s start with the fundamentals.

First, the economy. Need I say more? Jobless figures were somewhat better in June, but economists have revised downward their estimates of GDP growth. Measures of consumer confidence are pretty weak.

And did anybody get the real message the Federal Open Market Committee put out Tuesday? The economy is so sick, the Fed is willing to guarantee exceptionally low rates for two years! I’ve never seen the Fed telegraph its moves so far in advance, and the FOMC’s statement said over and over again how lousy the economy is.

Meanwhile, the open rebellion by three voting FOMC members makes it highly unlikely we’re going to see another round of quantitative easing anywhere near as big as the last two.

Third, there’s the debt crisis. Everyone agrees the European Union just doesn’t have the money to bail out Italy and Spain, its third and fourth largest economies, if it comes to that. Rumors are swirling about the health of French banks and the safety of France’s AAA rating.

And the debt-ceiling standoff here, which culminated in S&P downgrading the US’s AAA credit rating, means more government action to “fix” the economy is likely off the table.

So there’s no way President Obama will get much additional stimulus. He’s desperately trying to extend unemployment benefits and the payroll tax holiday for another year, but that looks pretty iffy at best. (You can read more from me about the "end of the welfare state" on The Independent Agenda.)

Finally, there are earnings, which have been great. But we’re getting much later in the cycle, and their momentum appears to be slowing. It’s hard for me to see how earnings growth alone is going to power the market much higher when everything else appears to be going in the opposite direction.

And while valuations are looking attractive by some measures, they don’t exist in a vacuum, either.

So, where does that leave us? Four prominent technical analysts I contacted all agreed: Stocks are heading lower, likely into a new bear market.

David Sneddon, head of technical analysis research at Credit Suisse in London, said the 1,370.58 intraday high in the S&P we saw on May 2 was the likely top. There’s critical technical support around 1,100, which is just about from where the market bounced back this week. So far, we seem to be holding that.

The next level of technical support below that is at 1,020-1,022. “You’d have to get below [1,000-1,010] to have a genuine bear market.”

Another London-based technician, Sandy Jadeja of City Index, who watches the Dow, thinks that’s where we’re going.

A few weeks ago, he predicted the Dow would drop to 10,428, which it did. Now, he told me by e-mail, “the rally that follows will be brief, and then lead to another leg down to 9,673 and further.”

“Lows are not to be expected until 2012,” he concluded. “Next month is critical. If we break the low of August in September, there is worse to come.”

 

Mark Arbeter, chief technical analyst of Standard & Poor’s, said back in May and June that the bull market was probably over, as I reported in this column. He hasn’t changed his position.

By e-mail, he said he “would look for some stabilization and a potential short-term rally now that the S&P 500 has fallen into a major zone of chart support…between 1,023 and 1,128.”

Ultimately he thinks the S&P could fall to 1,020, or maybe as low as 935. That would be 15% below Wednesday’s close, and would definitely mark a new bear market.

Michael Kahn, who writes the Getting Technical column for Barrons.com and the QuickTakes Pro blog, has long argued we’re in a secular (long-term) bear market, and he thinks the cyclical bull is over, too. Like Arbeter, he sees 1,010 to 1,050 as the next level of support for the S&P, and below that 930.

“I think it stops at 930 to make the 2000s-2010s follow the 1970s very closely,” he wrote me by e-mail. That’s one decade for which investors have little nostalgia.

The technicians are unanimous that stocks are going lower, though some are looking for a strong rally that goes against the bearish trend. Arbeter doesn’t expect that rally to go much beyond 1,250-1,260 before it sells off again. Sneddon doesn’t think it’ll bounce much higher than 1,200.

“We’ve clearly seen a lot of technical damage done in a lot of markets,” he told me. “I would be personally [inclined] rather to lighten up and reduce my positions” on rallies.

That would be my position, too, if I hadn’t already taken profits and sold what I wanted to a couple of months ago.

If you missed that chance, I wouldn’t sell in panic now, but would wait for stocks to mount a rebound to sell off positions in riskier small-cap stocks (which already may be in a bear market) and emerging markets, whose time in the sun has come and gone. That also may be a good time to permanently reduce your exposure to equities.

But I certainly wouldn’t buy into a market like this with all its wicked swings and uncertainties. Even mighty Goldman Sachs (GS) lost money on 15 trading days in the second quarter! And John Paulson, the hedge-fund genius who masterminded “the greatest trade ever” by shorting subprime mortgages, has lost 31% so far this year in his largest fund.

If people like that who have the best information and technology are losing money in this market, do you really think you’re going to beat them at their own game?

There will be a time to buy again, but it’s not now. This market is heading lower.’

Five Reasons for the Stock Market Crash and Zero Interest Rate 11 Aug 2011  Read more: Five Reasons for the Stock Market Crash and Zero Interest Rate    http://www.moneynews.com/StreetTalk/Stock-Market-Interest-Rate/2011/08/11/id/406976  ‘It’s said that the stock market climbs a “wall of worry.” Because the stock market is trying to predict the future success or failures of various companies, it sometimes gets things wrong. Horribly, terribly wrong.

With the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling like a rock, with wild swings not seen since the stock market crash of 2008, many investors are on the verge of panic. It’s easy to see why. The Federal Reserve is committed to keeping interest rates near zero until mid-2013 at the earliest. Those low interest rates penalize investors on a fixed income who don’t want the risk of the stock market.

Publisher’s Note: In an exclusive interview presentation, Aftershock 2012, Robert Wiedemer outlines a dire financial warning along with a comprehensive blueprint for economic survival. Over one million Americans have seen the evidence and learned how to weather the stock market, secure interest rates, and save their financial future. Watch the video now.

But investors who understand the reasons behind the latest decline in the stock market have little to fear. Below are five reasons why the stock market is crashing right now:

1) Current Debt Crisis in Europe and the United States

Between record high bond rates in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland, the eurozone has its hands full in dealing with too much debt relative to the size of its various economies. As a result of the poor bond performance from these countries, Europe is on the cusp of plunging into a banking crisis. Such a crisis could send interest rates soaring for “prime” countries like France and Germany, not to mention throw the continent into a recession.

Across the Atlantic, the United States isn’t faring much better. The recent debt ceiling drama concluded at the 11th hour, with very little in the way of true cuts. Instead, the government has promised to cut future growth, which may or may not even occur. No wonder S&P downgraded U.S. debt!

Ultimately, it isn’t risky assets like stocks that cause economic problems. Markets sell off when seemingly safe assets are suddenly recognized as significantly riskier than they were once perceived.

2) United States Government Is at an Impasse

As part of the recent debt ceiling deal, Congress approved the creation of a bipartisan super-committee comprised of 12 members to fast-track legislation. The constitutionality of such a committee is dubious at best, but it’s just one way for Washington lawmakers to pass off responsibility and avoid tough decisions.

It doesn’t end there. The Federal Reserve has tried two rounds of “quantitative easing,” a scheme to buy up excess debt. The rationale was that it would get the U.S. economy back on track. Instead, this plan juiced the returns of the stock market, and sent gas prices and grocery costs soaring.

Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans are calling for the ouster of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner as a consequence of the U.S. losing its S&P AAA credit rating.

In other words, it’s business as usual for the government: trying to fix a crisis that’s largely the result of its own poor oversight, while avoiding any responsibility for causing the problem in the first place.

3) U.S. Unemployment Is Running Over 15%!

As long as the U.S. economy isn’t creating enough new jobs, it will stagnate. Although the unemployment rate has declined from the double-digit rates it hit in 2009/2010, many astute individuals have noted that the latest unemployment report is inaccurate.

Using the measurement for unemployment used by the government up until the early 1980s, true unemployment is running over 15%!

Meanwhile, many thrown out of work have exhausted their unemployment benefits, which in some cases lasted as long as 99 weeks. Once off unemployment, they officially disappear from the official unemployed list, making the job market appear better than expected.

Adding millions of jobs would be the best economic stimulus possible. It would allow millions to loosen their belts and spend more, which would be a huge boon across the entire economy.

Publisher’s Note: Author and esteemed economist Bob Wiedemer accurately predicted these events more than four years ago. Over one million Americans have seen the evidence and learned how to weather the stock market, secure interest rates, and save their financial future. Watch the video now.

4) United States Has No Economic Growth

Historically, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates to increase economic growth. That’s because lower interest rates make it easier for individuals to borrow money to buy cars, houses, start small businesses and the like. However, there’s been nearly no growth since the United States plunged into a recession in 2008. And the Federal Reserve can’t cut rates any lower.

There’s no doubt in the minds of many market participants that more Fed easing policies are on the way, especially after America’s first-quarter GDP was revised from 1.9% to 0.4%.

The stock market’s moves are highly dependent on economic growth. If an individual company can post huge growth numbers, its shares tend to go up, and its shares tend to decline when growth stalls. When a country’s GDP is stagnant, investors don’t know what to expect. Hence the recent stock market plunge, as economic data may suggest that another recession is upon us.

5) No Housing Recovery

The stock market crash of 2011 is starting to resemble the stock market crash of 2008 in one key way: Bank stocks are leading the decline. Since the start of August, banks deemed “too big to fail” like Citigroup and Bank of America have sold off twice as hard as the overall stock market.

It’s easy to see why. Banks are sitting on millions of properties listed on their balance sheets at pre-housing crash prices. If all these properties hit the market at once, prices would have to fall substantially. If the banks have to sell them at a loss, they’ll take a hit to their balance sheet at a time when they’re still trying to improve it.

A housing recovery can spur job growth for construction jobs, real estate agents, and businesses in new communities. But we currently have a housing glut that will take several years to work through.

Until then, without a housing recovery, it’ll be tough for the overall economy to recover. That means the stock market is in for a wild ride and low interest rates are here to stay.

While these five reasons aren’t a comprehensive list of the problems weighing down the stock market and keeping interest rates paltry, they should give most investors a reason to stay cautious over the next few months.

Based on the market’s action and recent economic data, it’s more likely than not we’re entering a double-dip recession. Stay heavy on safe investments and don’t give into the fear.

Stocks Overbought Already?at The Wall Street Journal

 

Are US Markets Facing the Abyss? [ Short answer: Worse! ] at Minyanville   Jeffrey Cooper Aug 15, 2011 ‘

“As soon as the idea of the Deluge had subsided, a hare stopped in the clover and swaying flowerbells, and said a prayer to the rainbow, through the spider’s web.

Oh, the precious stones that began to hide, and the flowers that already looked around.

In the dirty main street, stalls were set up and boats were hauled toward the sea, high tiered as in old prints.

Blood flowed at Blue Beard’s -- though slaughterhouses, in circuses, where the windows were blanched by God’s seal. Blood and milk flowed.

Beavers built. “Mazagrans” smoked in the little bars.

In the big glass house, still dripping, children in mourning looked at the marvelous pictures.

A door banged; and in the village square the little boy waved his arms, understood by weather vanes and cocks on steeples everywhere, in the bursting shower.

Madame installed a piano in the Alps. Mass and first communions were celebrated at the hundred thousand altars of the cathedral.

Caravans set out. And Hotel Splendid was built in the chaos of ice and the polar night.

Ever after the moon heard jackals howling across the deserts of thyme, and eclogues in wooden shoes growling in the orchard. Then in the violet and budding forest, Eucharis told me it was spring.

Gush, pond -- foam, roll on the bridge and over the woods -- black palls and organs, lightning and thunder, rise and roll -- waters and sorrows rise and launch the Floods again.

For since they have been dissipated -- oh, the precious stones being buried and the opened flowers -- it’s unbearable. And the Queen, the Witch who lights her fire in the earthen pot will never tell us what she knows, and what we do not know.”

--Apres Le Deluge, Arthur Rimbaud

"Yeah, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel...
Let it roll, baby, roll.

-Roadhouse Blues (The Doors)

Somebody hit her with a chair, you know. I guess there’s no way to determine who did it. It’s already coagulating. She was just an innocent bystander. It’s a democracy.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.
-Aldous Huxley

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach.
-Aldous Huxley

Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
-Aldous Huxley

The market went mad last week. The truth of capitalism was in chaos, democracy in disarray, and paralyzed politics hit home. The truth hurts.

“And the Queen, the Witch who lights her fire in the earthen pot will never tell us what she knows, and what we do not know.”

Seemingly in unison, market participants' heads hit their pillows Friday night with a thousand points of night running like shards of broken confidence through their minds.

The consumer confidence number hit the lowest level in a generation as the retail therapy of conspicuous consumption threatens to hit the wall.

Anesthetized with lies and sedated with stimulus, is the consumer shopped out and about to send a wake-up call to Mr. Economy?

At the end of World War II, no power existed which could compete with the US militarily or economically.

The US had saved the world from the scourge of dictatorship.

In return, the Bretton-Woods Agreement in the Summer of 1944 also gave us the monetary power to print the world’s currency. We promised it would always be convertible into gold at the rate of $35 per ounce. This proviso was between the world’s central banks and ours. It remained true until August 15, 1971 when President Nixon voided the agreement because French President de Gaulle was about to make a run on our gold, which he knew wasn’t sufficient to back up all of the currency then floating around in the world’s central banks. De Gaulle was about to precipitate a kind of run on the bank.

Son of a gun.

Is this a harmonic of the rumors that Dominique Strauss-Kahn -- former head of the IMF who was about to run for the French presidency -- was set up in a hotel in New York because he was about to reveal something about the gold that is or is not in Fort Knox?

Ever since the Bretton Woods Agreement was broken 40 years ago today, the dollar has been wandering in a sort of financial Biblical desert, characterized by the last decade of bubbles and busts.

The monthly S&P shows 3 persistent advances: a 5-year run into March 2000, a 4-year run into July 2007, and a 2-year run in May 2011.

The March 2000 top saw a break and a return rally/test failure into late August 2000. The July 2007 top saw a break and a return rally that made a marginal new high test failure in October 2007. Both of these tests failures of the high came roughly 90 days/degrees later.

In 2011 an initial peak played out on February 18th. A test failure played out with a marginal new high roughly 90 days/degrees later.

In “How Mid-September 2008 Ties To The July 2010 Low And Today” from late June, I walked through the setup for a waterfall decline.

The March ’03 low was 788 which is where the big advance to 2007 began. 2 x 788 gives the price of the S&P all-time high in 2007.

From the March 6, 2009 low to the May 2, 2011 high is 787 days.

Time was ‘up’ this May, but the S&P didn’t roll over until the anniversary of the July ’07 high.

From August 1971 to August 2011 is 480 months. On the Square of 9 Wheel, 480 is square 90 degrees of August 24th.

August 24th is opposite this year's February 18th peak.

The end of the month also ties to the pre-crash high in 1987, the pre-crash high in 1929, and the return rally high in 2000.

The end of August vibrates off major crashes in history.

In addition, early September ties to the 120-month anniversary of 9/11 and the 1000 point DJIA bungee following that crash.

Will an ABC retracement rally following our recent crash be able to satisfy my projection early last week of a 1000 DJIA rally?

Will the end of the month/early September mark a retracement high or a new low?{PAGE_BREA}Surprisingly, after violating the Bretton Woods agreement, the world kept on functioning as though the US dollar was still as good as gold. The only limit on our power to print money was the world’s willingness to continue tolerating our enormous abuse of this power. In effect, it gave us the power to soak up the savings of others around the world in order for us to consume. It was a giddy time.

It was a giddy-up time for politicians intent on spending to buy votes and the incestuous target they created for lobbyists.

Americans then had a free ride in financial matters to take the labor of others and use them to their benefit. We no longer had to produce. We could just let others do the producing and all that we needed to do was print more money and pay them off.

That illusion is ebbing.

Technically, the market looks like it is creeping higher to finish off an ABC upward correction from 1190 to 1225, which should see the market quickly fall to lower lows. The mid-point of equilibrium between the 666 low and the 1371 high equates to 1018. A decline to 1018 could be a test of the 1011 low in July 2010.

1190 is the mid-point from the July 2010 low to the May 2011 high.

1225 ties to last year's double tops.

A full backtest of the big neckline ties to 1250ish.

This week the market will tie to the chance for an Upside Follow Through Day -- a day with a substantial gain on substantial volume at least 4 days after a low.

This week is also options expiration, so a possible C wave corrective rally could theoretically see the market hold up into the end of the week.

However, without a big momentum day to hook the shorts, the market will drift before another leg down targeting 1040ish to 940ish.

We have been looking for a blow out low near mid-August based primarily on the cycle from 1951.

The closing lows for two sessions near 1121 aligns with mid-August on the Square of 9 Wheel. Only above 1260 does the market suggest something else other than a new bear leg is playing out.

We don’t want to short if a washout has occurred like in August 2007. As we asked in a report last week, is this a blow-out low or a mid-point for a move lower?

At the same time it’s tricky to go long here between 1190 and 1225: the vast majority of technicals indicate a new bear leg. While many stocks are improving they have not repaired the damage.

A lot of comparisons have been made between the current cascade in stocks and 2008. Memory is short on Wall Street, but not that short. It is possible that money managers and robots alike sold first and will ask questions later so as not to be mangled in a another train wreck.

But this is not like 2008 in the sense that the Crash in the Fall of 2008 was a second leg down.

Modern markets haven’t seen a drop off a peak or pivot high from late July like we just witnessed. It was worse that last year’s Flash Crash in May 2010. It is worse than the initial sell-off in late 2008.

Even on Black Monday in 1987, stocks were decimated in virtually one day and it was over. This one has been a Roller Coaster Crash.

While the market has echoed the Flying Elvis Pattern that installed a low from mid-July 2010, it remains extremely risky as the sharpness and steepness of the selloff leaves it/left it primed for a reflex rally.

At the same time, as offered in a chart in this space in late July, the set up for a waterfall crash like 1929 was in place and that pattern may not have played out completely.

Rickards – US will revalue gold to $7000  Aug 15th, 2011 15:10 by News  August 15 (King World News) — ‘ He (Nixon) said first of all I am imposing national price controls because there was an inflation problem in the United States at the time. The second thing he said was I am putting a 10% surtax of imports on all imported goods coming into the United States. Then about 10 minutes into the speech, very much en passant, he said, ‘Oh by the way we are suspending the convertibility of dollars into gold’ and he immediately went into this Nixonian rant about speculators. So it was very interesting, there were three earth-shaking announcements. Can you imagine any one of those three things going on today? President Obama or any President saying he was going to impose nationwide price controls, or all Chinese goods would have a 10% surcharge. It would be cataclysmic, yet Nixon did both of those things. Plus (Nixon) took us off the gold standard, so it was quite a dramatic speech. In a strange way he did us all a favor by making sure we (the US) held on to the gold. So I do think the United States is in a position to revalue the currency using gold to that $7,000 level. That will obviously be a huge benefit to all of the people who invested in gold because they are going to be along for the ride, along with the United States when that gold goes to $7,000.” Excerpted from an interview that is available here.

In its August policy statement the Federal Reserve took the highly unusual step of putting a specific time frame for the continuation of its near zero interest rate policy.

Moving past the previously uncertain pronouncements that they would “keep interest rates low for an extended period,” the Fed now tells us that rates will not budge from rock bottom for at least two years. Although the markets rallied on the news (at least for a few minutes) in reality the policy will inflict untold harm on the U.S. economy. The move was so dangerous and misguided that three members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee actually voted against it. This level of dissent within the Fed hasn’t been seen for years.

Many economists have short-sightedly concluded that ultra low interest rates are a sure fire way to spur economic growth. The easier and cheaper it is to borrow, they argue, the more likely business and consumers are to spend. And because spending spurs growth, in their calculation, low rates are always good. But, as is typical, they have it backwards.

I believe that ultra-low interest rates are among the biggest impediments currently preventing genuine economic growth in the US economy. By committing to keep them near zero for the next two years, the Fed has actually lengthened the time Americans will now have to wait before a real recovery begins. Low rates are the root cause of the misallocation of resources that define the modern American economy. As a direct result, Americans borrow, consume, and speculate too much, while we save, produce, and invest too little.

It may come as a shock to some, but just like everything else in a free market, interest rate levels are best determined by the freely interacting forces of supply and demand. In the case of interest rates, the determinative factors should be the supply of savings available to lend and the demand for money by people and business who want to borrow. Many of the beneficial elements of market determined rates are explained in my book How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes. But allowing the government to determine interest rates as a matter of policy creates a number of distortions.

It was bad enough that the Fed held rates far too low, but at least a fig leaf of uncertainty kept the most brazen speculators in partial paralysis. But by specifically telegraphing policy, the Fed has now given cover to the most parasitic elements of the financial sector to undertake transactions that offer no economic benefit to the nation. Specifically, it will simply encourage banks to borrow money at zero percent from the Fed, and then use significant leverage to buy low yielding treasuries at 2 to 4 percent. The result is a banker’s dream: guaranteed low risk profit. In other words it will encourage banks to lend to the government, which already borrows too much, and not lend to private borrowers, whose activity could actually benefit the economy.

This reckless policy, designed to facilitate government spending and appease Wall Street financiers, will continue to starve Main Street of the capital it needs to make real productivity-enhancing investments. American investment capital will continue to flow abroad, denying local business the means to expand and hire. It also destroys interest rates paid to holders of bank savings deposits which traditionally had been a financial pillar of retirees. In addition, such an inflationary policy drives real wages lower, robbing Americans of their purchasing power. The consequence is a dollar in free-fall, dragging down with it the standard of living of average Americans.

Until interest rates are allowed to rise to appropriate levels, more resources will be misallocated, additional jobs will be lost, government spending and deficits will continue to grow, the dollar will keep falling, consumer prices will keep rising, and the government will keep blaming our problems on external factors beyond its control. As the old adage goes, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

THE STOCK MARKET HAS LOST ITS MIND — Bethany McLean in Slate Risk On! Do the Fed, computer trading, and a few hedge funds rule the market? That might explain why it's lost its mind. After the madness of last week and the rollercoaster at the beginning of this week, the stock market recovered from its Aug. 10 rout to bounce 423 points on Aug. 11. It was the fourth day in a row in which the index moved by more than 400 points, which has never happened before in history. As I write this, stock prices are leveling off, but the big swings may not be over. Has the market gone mad? Actually, yes.

In theory, the stock market is supposed to reflect the prospects for the economy—the earnings potential of the stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. But there's more than one reason to believe that what's going on now has little to do with any rational view of the future, and a lot to do with the market itself. "Dip your toes into any risk asset right now and understand that you are not entering into anything remotely resembling a normal market environment," wrote David Rosenberg, the well-respected former Merrill Lynch analyst who is now the chief economist at Canadian firm Gluskin Sheff, in his recent newsletter. "Dysfunctional is more like it."

The first factor to consider is that the huge rebound in stocks and in all sorts of risk assets from the spring of 2009 until May of this year wasn't necessarily driven by a belief that better times were coming. It was driven by a belief that investors had to buy riskier assets given the Fed's determination to hold interest rates near zero. Because investors can't get a return in "safe" assets—indeed, a small return will get chewed up by inflation—they are driven to riskier assets. As more investors pile in, everyone is driven further out along the risk curve.

This is what traders call "risk on." What they mean is that you'll be rewarded for buying risk, regardless of reality. The Fed's second round of quantitative easing ("QE2"), in which it bought $600 billion of Treasuries in order to keep interest rates low, encouraged this investment strategy. "We had a nice two-year rally in risk assets and something close to an economic recovery, but as we had warned, it was built on sticks and straw, not bricks," wrote Rosenberg. "This isn't much different than the financial engineering in the 2002-07 cycle that gave off the appearance of prosperity."

 The Fed intended this to end happily. The fake wealth created by a soaring market was supposed to turn into real wealth, because rich people, who control much of the economy and who have much of their money in the market, were supposed to spend more. But it hasn't worked, partly because of problems in the rest of the world—the tsunami in Japan, the financial crisis that's brewing in Europe—and partly because our own economy is too deep in hock to achieve the necessary stimulus. As Howard Marks, the chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, put it in his recent letter, "The world has awakened to the undesirability of ever-growing government debt."

You can think of the Fed's medicine as a painkiller. It allows everyone to pretend that bad stuff isn't happening, until something shatters the illusion and the comfortable numbness abruptly gives way to panic. There's massive selling. Then the Fed reassures everyone that its toolbox isn't empty just yet—witness the big upturn on Aug. 9 after the Fed said it would likely hold rates near zero until mid-2013 (a worthless prediction if inflation surges)—and the market soars. Risk on!

It's hard to develop any real conviction about the direction of the market when so much depends on the actions of the Federal Reserve. That's especially true because even the members of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee aren't all in agreement. Three members voted against the Fed's Aug. 9 announcement. Complicating matters is that the short term direction of the real economy is also at the mercy of the government. The key line in this Wall Street Journal story: "As goes government spending, so goes the U.S. economy."

Another possible factor in the madness is forced selling by big hedge funds. There are rumors that funds are getting hit by margin calls, or that funds that are having a bad year are getting redemption requests from investors, thereby forcing them to sell. Most of the gossip has focused on John Paulson (the hedge fund manager who famously made his fortune by shorting securities backed by subprime mortgages), given the big positions he was known to have in stocks that have gotten trashed. But if Paulson is hurting, he's probably not alone. "No way big guys could have gotten out," one trader tells me via email. "Big hedge funds with all the same big positions. This move down happened so fast that they are trapped." If this theory is right, then sudden rallies like Thursday's upturn will be followed by more selling, as hedge funds take advantage of the ability to get out.

The last explanation I've heard is that most of the buying and selling hasn't been driven by real people, but rather by computers. Hello, HAL 9000! In the last five years, computer-driven trading, whether controversial high-frequency trading or just programs that buy baskets of stocks based on technical figures, has become a bigger and bigger part of the market. Depending on how you define it, sources tell me it constitutes 70 percent to 90 percent of trading now. "The human element is gone," one trader tells me. At least some people believe that the presence of computers exacerbates the big moves up and down. According to this paper by X. Frank Zhang, an associate professor of accounting at the Yale School of Management, "high frequency trading is positively correlated with stock price volatility." Zhang goes on to say that the "positive correlation is stronger among the top 3,000 stocks in market capitalization and among stocks with high institutional holdings. The positive correlation is also stronger during periods of high market uncertainty." Zhang's academic work is supported by the observations of those who have been in the market for a long time. "I suspect that the real culprits here are the computers Wall Street has programmed and unleashed to trade and manage portfolios," wrote John Bollinger, who has been publishing his Capital Growth Letter for more than two decades. "The sort of mindless selling that we are seeing is most likely the result of machines trading and human beings desperately trying to keep up with them."

Should you buy? Should you sell? No one knows. The world is always an uncertain place, but right now it's more uncertain than usual, whether about the ultimate resolution of Europe's crisis or about how the U.S. will reduce its debt and get the economy growing again. Or perhaps I should say reduce its debt or get the economy growing, since it's unlikely to achieve both at the same time. This inability to guess what the future holds means that madness rules.’

 

Withdrawals From Stock Funds Biggest Since ’08  Aug 12th, 2011 15:32 by News (Bloomberg) — Investors pulled the most money from global stock funds since 2008 in the past week as the Standard & Poor’s downgrade of Treasuries and the deepening European debt crisis prompted a flight into cash and gold. Funds that buy global equities suffered $3.5 billion in net withdrawals in the week ended Aug. 10, the most since the second week of October 2008, according to Cameron Brandt, director of research at Cambridge, Massachusetts-based EPFR Global. Investors removed $11.7 billion from funds that invest in U.S. equities, the most since May 2010 when investors pulled money following a one-day market crash that briefly erased $862 billion.“This week had a feeling of capitulation as we saw investors running for cover,” Brandt said in a telephone interview. “The last time we saw this kind of flight to safety” was in 2008, he said.’

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! ]

 

 

 

Is America The Next Greece? at Forbes Marc Schindler ‘After many years of overeating (overspending) Greece is in the emergency room with a major financial heart attack and America isn’t far behind.

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.’

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

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?”

Bert Dohmen is editor of the Wellington Letter and author of Financial Apocalypse.’

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.

13 Reasons Why The U.S. Is Now OFFICIALLY BANKRUPT Daily Bail | Stop the budget lies; there are NO cuts. House passes bill to INCREASE spending by $7 trillion over the next 10 years. 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.

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

 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.

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. And completing the amazement, the 10 Year bond, moved to almost record lows, and then retraced virtually the entire move, as nobody knows what central planning has in store for America any longer. Additionally, after being up 50%, VIX is now down 22%. Congratulations Ben: in taking central planning to nth double-down levels, you have now broken not only the stock, but the bond market as well…’

The Entire World Is Going Bear Market Business Insider | A scary aspect of this selloff: There’s nowhere safe.




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.

  1. 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
  2. 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.

  1. After the tech bub­ble: mon­e­tary pol­icy remained highly accom­moda­tive and gov­ern­ment stim­u­lus was aplenty
  2. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. Mon­e­tary pol­icy – here we have three poten­tial options.
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. When the peo­ple who make mis­takes do not pay for mis­takes, they keep mak­ing them…bigger and big­ger. Can you say “mort­gage back securities”?
  4. 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.
  5. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. We have wasted lots of cap­i­tal by sub­si­diz­ing unpro­duc­tive investments.
  3. We have delayed the process of cre­ative destruc­tion whereby unpro­duc­tive invest­ments are replaced by pro­duc­tive investments.
  4. 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.
  5. We must rebuild dili­gently, ratio­nally and delib­er­ately to ensure cap­i­tal real­izes its high­est and best use.
  6. Kick­ing the can down the road, Euro-style, only delays the inevitable and makes the prob­lem worse.
  7. 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.’

 

 

Report: DOJ investigating S&P's mortgage securities ratings Associated Press The Justice Department is investigating whether the agency improperly rated dozens of mortgage securities in the years leading up to the financial crisis. (Washington Post) [ There you go … the retaliation … the long awaited payback (quid pro quo -the no pros- witheld) for long overdue pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. downgrade. They should be investigating themselves, the SEC ( SEC destroyed documents, senator says ), among numerous other fraudulent, illegal schemes, activities.  SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Five myths about the Dow What drives it up and down? Is it a good market barometer? (Washington Post) [ Yeah! This is a great topic which seems an age-old quandary manifesting in different forms at different times. Indeed, in my evening MBA program studies at NYU, GBA (MBA Finance, 1977) the ‘questions’ concerning the Dow from an investment perspective were in no short supply (ie., from not being representative of the market, to higher p/e multiples, to slower growth from mature companies, to higher prices per share on an absolute basis, etc.). When asked why the Dow, the Security Analysis Professor, Dr. Douglas Bellmore, an extremely successful analyst / investor / author on finance in his own right, and head of the research arm / department of an institutional wall street brokerage firm by day, would respond simply by saying, ‘ he wasn’t interested in ‘buying the market’ (cited were concerns of liquidity with his oft-repeated rhetorical quip, ‘sell … to whom?’, which was often problematic to the substantial downside then, particularly for Nasdaq / Over-the-counter’ issues which is far less problematic today with computer efficiency undreamed of then (though also now used for nefarious fraudulent purposes undreamed of then)[ I began my MBA thesis with him and completed same owing to his vacation in the summer, 1977, with the great, eloquent, and astute Economist / Professor, Dr. Robert Kavesh (‘Economic Forecasting’ Butler and Kavesh – I had his course of the same name as his book) since I was beginning law school evenings that fall. ] ( Interestingly, in the bond analysis portion of the course I asked whether you can and should rely on the rating companies, predominantly S&P. He paused, and said ‘that’s a good question’ – it was also the only time he said such of my questions – then responded affirmatively, ‘yes, you can rely on them’ (different time, different place – I’m sure his answer would have been substantially different today).

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!

Third, a study emanating from canada is hardly the touchstone for credible ‘universal’ application inasmuch as, though hardly a random sampling, I have personally found canadians to be thieves and criminals without exception thus far in my direct experience. As such, I’d say this specious study to be somewhat self-serving at best, and spurious egalitarian propaganda at worst. Rationally based, meaningful, uncorrupted law and enforcement, though rare, are a prescription for dealing with base human instincts. It may not always be pretty, but reality counts!  ]

Obama Impeachment 2012

Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones | A call to action and an effort to inform the public about the treason of Barack Obama.

http://albertpeia.com/impeachobama.htm

Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones
Infowars.com
Aprill 11, 2012

We can only win by launching Impeach Obama 2012. Whether or not we fully impeach him, we are committed to rebuking these unconstitutional and criminal power grabs and are determined to take the case to the court of public opinion.

–Alex Jones

Film director, producer, actor and writer Sean Stone has thrown his weight behind a resolution introduced in the House last month by North Carolina Republican Walter Jones. Resolution 107 states that should the president use offensive military force without the authorization of Congress that such an act would be “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves exclusively for Congress the power to declare war. Both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison argued that the power to declare war must reside in the legislative branch of government and the president will only act as the commander-in-chief and direct the war after it is declared by Congress.

“The constitution supposes, what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care vested the question of war in the legislature,” Madison wrote.

In the video, Stone notes Obama’s unconstitutional war on Libya was waged “despite the fact that the United States was neither attacked, nor threatened for attack by the nation of Libya.”

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said during questioning by Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama that the Obama administration does not believe Congress has the exclusive right to declare war and that the Pentagon answers to the United Nations, not the people of the United States.

The Obama administration “does not believe that the Congress has the exclusive power to declare war,” Stone notes, and “accordingly the president should be impeached.”

Stone also mentions Obama’s facilitation of the banker engineered 2008 “bailout” as an additiojnal reason he should be tried for High Crimes and Misdemeanors and impeached. Obama’s efforts worked in favor of the “consolidation of private banks, many of them in Europe.”

“There was no investment of any meaningful type in the physical economy, there was no protection of the American people,” Sean explains. “Rather, an illegal commitment made on behalf of private banking interests, to commit the American people to paying a debt that the American people did not accrue.”

He rightly notes that Obama’s actions “represent the most clear violation of the principal of the general welfare of the people in the preamble of the Constitution of the United States.”

In addition to setting the stage for the economic rape of the American people and waging illegal and unconstitutional wars, Obama has committed a number of other egregious violations of the Constitution.

Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

In addition, the Dodd-Frank financial “reform” bill created the so-called Financial Protection Bureau and Financial Stability Oversight Council, bureaucratic monstrosities that are now engaged in unchecked and unconstitutional economic action without consulting Congress. The Dodd-Frank bill also further empowers the bankster’s preferred cartel, the Federal Reserve (which has engaged in unconstitutional activity for nearly a hundred years).

The Obamacare mandate is the most obvious violation. “No list of President Obama’s constitutional violations would be complete without including the requirement that every American purchase health insurance, on penalty of civil fine. The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme. Fortunately, the Supreme Court has a chance to strike this down during its current term,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

Obama signed into law the NDAA with a provision allowing the military to indefinitely detain American citizens. “He will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law,” said the executive director of the ACLU, Anthony Romero.

Finally, Obama may be tried and impeached for signing a large number of executive orders. Article II of the Constitution provides the president with three options when presented with legislation – do nothing, sign the bill, or veto it in its entirety.

“Obama’s use of signing statements has clearly shown his willingness to continue the George W. Bush legacy – not only of torture and illegal detainment, but in the dangerous trend of de facto rule by ‘executive fiat.’ Worse, such signing statements put in place a precedent for future presidents to follow – or expand upon,” writes Aaron Dykes.

Obama is definitely a renegade president in violation of the law. He is guilty of treason and must be brought up on formal charges. The House must introduce a resolution for impeachment and a trial must be held in the Senate…’

Why Is It Necessary For The Federal Government To Turn The United States Into A Prison Camp?

http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com

 

http://albertpeia.com/usprisoncamp.htm

{ I really must say that this is a tough one because the vast majority of americans are inherently criminal, with the highest crime rates in the world among the so-called ‘civilized’ nations (you can’t count the niggers of sub-saharan africa as civilized, and there’s no question but that the niggers have disproportionately skewed the american crime rates, particularly violent crimes, higher); including, from my direct observation and experience, that within all three branches of the u.s. government. Indeed, the (should be prison) inmates are running this asylum called america. The reality is that there are so many americans that are not in jail who should be in jail, it’s difficult to avoid these harsh third world measures in what has essentially become a third world nation overrun by the most sordid, despicable criminals one can imagine. They must really prosecute the biggest criminals including the oligarchs as, ie., the huge frauds on wall street, etc., and ‘bury’ the violent repeat offenders, etc., without exception. The problem with america is not the terrorist threat from without, but rather the plethora of inherently criminal americans within. Moreover, the corruption is pervasive and systemic. Unfortunately, crime pays in america and pays well; and, God help you if you try to live within the law and get in their way or potentially cost them money or some of their illegal business because no one else will. There’s criminal control at all levels of american society. That’s the problem; with the relatively few non-criminally inclined, criminal by complicity inasmuch as americans are for the most part gutless cowards who go along to get along along with a million other excuses, not the least of which is ‘the price was right’. That’s reality! That said, it’s the ‘for or agin’ me primitive mentality that pervades the u.s. government, ‘thought police’, arbitrary powers of detainment, abrogation of first admendment rights, internet intrusion/censorship, arbitrary enforcement of the law, etc., that is and I find particularly appalling, counter-productive, and regressive. There is an element of projection, given some of the evil things the government has done abroad; blowback being not entirely out of the realm of possibility which ultimately is the sad consequence of the worst of human nature which is invariably inclined to go too far in the worst way. The sad fact is that as with any banana republic, the governmental powers that be go to whatever nefarious lengths necessary (control by whatever means, at some level) to unreasonably maintain their access to undeserved power, money, resources, luxuries, etc.,  invariably to the detriment of the vast majority as is so here in america today. There are very few positive things that can be said of america today. I, for one, cannot think of any at all!   [  america, love it or leave it’? Love it? Truth be told, I don’t even like america!  See, ie., http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf       http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm    http://albertpeia.com/fbimartinezcongallard.htm

How Liberty Was Lost

Paul Craig Roberts | When did things begin going wrong in America?

http://albertpeia.com/howlibertywaslost.htm

‘When did things begin going wrong in America?

“From the beginning,” answer some. English colonists, themselves under the thumb of a king, exterminated American Indians and stole their lands, as did late 18th and 19th century Americans. Over the course of three centuries the native inhabitants of America were dispossessed, just as Israelis have been driving Palestinians off their lands since 1948.

Demonization always plays a role. The Indians were savages and the Palestinians are terrorists. Any country that can control the explanation can get away with evil.

I agree that there is a lot of evil in every country and civilization. In the struggle between good and evil, religion has at times been on the side of evil. However, the notion of moral progress cannot so easily be thrown out.

Consider, for example, slavery. In the 1800s, slavery still existed in countries that proclaimed equal rights. Even free women did not have equal rights. Today no Western country would openly tolerate the ownership of humans or the transfer of a woman’s property upon her marriage to her husband.

It is true that Western governments have ownership rights in the labor of their citizens through the income tax. This remains as a mitigated form of serfdom. So far, however, no government has claimed the right of ownership over the person himself.

Sometimes I hear from readers that my efforts are pointless, that elites are always dominant and that the only solution is to find one’s way into the small, connected clique of elites either through marriage or service to their interests.

This might sound like cynical advice, but it is not devoid of some truth. Indeed, it is the way Washington and New York work, and increasingly the way the entire country operates.

Washington serves powerful private interests, not the public interest. University faculties in their research increasingly serve private interests and decreasingly serve truth. In the US the media is no longer a voice and protection for the people. It is becoming increasingly impossible in America to get a good job without being connected to the system that serves the elites.

The problem I have with this “give up” attitude is that over the course of my life, and more broadly over the course of the 20th century, many positive changes occurred through reforms. It is impossible to have reforms without good will, so even the elites who accepted reforms that limited their powers were part of the moral progress.

Labor unions became a countervailing power to corporate management and Wall Street.

Working conditions were reformed. Civil rights were extended. People excluded by the system were brought into it. Anyone who grew up in the 20th century can add his own examples.

Progress was slow–unduly so from a reformer’s standpoint–and mistakes were made. Nevertheless, whether done properly or improperly there was a commitment to the expansion of civil liberty.

This commitment ended suddenly on September 11, 2001. In eleven years the Bush/Obama Regime repealed 800 years of human achievements that established law as a shield of the people and, instead, converted law into a weapon in the hands of the government. Today Americans and citizens of other countries can, on the will of the US executive branch alone, be confined to torture dungeons for the duration of their lives with no due process or evidence presented to any court, or they can be shot down in the streets or exterminated by drone missiles.

The power that the US government asserts over its subjects and also over the citizens of other countries is unlimited. Lenin described unlimited power as power “resting directly on force, not limited by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules.”

Washington claims that it is the indispensable government representing the exceptional people and thereby has the right to impose its will and “justice” on the rest of the world and that resistance to Washington constitutes terrorism to be exterminated by any possible means.

Thus, the American neoconservatives speak of nuking Iran for insisting on its independence from American hegemony and exercising its rights to nuclear energy under the non-proliferation treaty to which Iran is a signatory.

In other words, Washington’s will prevails over international treaties that have the force of law, treaties which Washington itself imposed on the world. According to the neoconservatives and Washington, Iran is not protected by the legal contract that Iran made with Washington when Iran signed the non-proliferation treaty.

Iran finds itself as just another 17th or 18th century American Indian tribe to be deprived of its rights and to be exterminated by the forces of evil that dominate Washington, D.C.

The vast majority of “superpower” americans plugged into the Matrix, where they are happy with the disinformation pumped into their brains by Washington and its presstitute media, would demur rather than face my facts.

This raises the question: how does one become unplugged and unplug others from the Matrix? Readers have asked, and I do not have a complete answer.

It seems to happen in a number of ways. Being fired and forced to train your H-1B foreign replacement who works for lower pay, being convicted of a crime that you did not commit, having your children stolen from you by Child Protective Services because bruises from sports activities were alleged to be signs of child abuse, your home stolen from you because a mortgage based on fraud was given the force of law, laid off by “free market capitalism” as your age advanced and the premium of your employer-provided medical insurance increased, being harassed by Homeland Security on your re-entry to the US because you are a non-embedded journalist who reports truthfully on US behavior abroad. There are many instances of Americans being jolted into reality by the “freedom and democracy” scales falling away from their eyes.

It is possible that becoming unplugged from the Matrix is a gradual lifelong experience for the few who pay attention. The longer they live, the more they notice that reality contradicts the government’s and media’s explanations. The few who can remember important stuff after watching reality shows and their favorite sports teams and fantasy movies gradually realize that there is no “new economy” to take the place of the manufacturing economy that was given away to foreign countries. Once unemployed from their “dirty fingernail jobs,” they learn that there is no “new economy” to employ them.

Still seething from the loss of the Vietnam War and anger at war protesters, some flag-waving patriots are slowly realizing the consequences of criminalizing dissent and the exercise of First Amendment rights. “You are with us or against us” is taking on threatening instead of reassuring connotations, implying that anyone who opens his or her mouth in any dissent is thereby transformed into an “enemy of the state.”

More Americans, but far from enough, are coming to the realization that the extermination of the Branch Davidians at Waco in 1993 was a test run to confirm that the public and Congress would accept the murder of civilians who had been demonized with false charges of child abuse and gun-running.

The next test was the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995. Whose explanation would prevail: the government’s or that of experts? Air Force General Partin, a top expert on explosives, proved conclusively in a heavily documented report given to every member of Congress that the Murruh Federal Office Building blew up from the inside out, not from the outside in from the fertilizer car bomb. But General Partin’s facts lost out to the government’s propaganda and to Congress’ avoidance of cognitive dissonance.

Once the “national security” government learned that its pronouncements and those of the presstitute media carried more weight than the facts presented by experts, conspiracies such as Operation Northwoods could be put into play. A 9/11 became possible.

The Pentagon, CIA, and military/security complex were desperate for a new enemy to replace the “Soviet threat,” which had ceased to exist. The military/security complex and its servants in Congress were determined to replace the profits made from the cold war and to preserve and increase the powers accumulated in the Pentagon and CIA. The only possible replacement for the Soviet threat was “Muslim terrorists.” Thus, the creation of the “al Qaeda threat” and the conflation of this new threat with secular Arab governments, such as Iraq’s and Syria’s, which were the real targets of Islamists.

Despite the evidence provided by experts that secular Arab governments, such as Saddam Hussein’s, were allies against Islamic extremism, the US government used propaganda to link the secular Iraq government with Iraq’s enemies among Islamic revolutionaries.

Once Washington confirmed that the American public was both too ignorant and too inattentive to pay any attention to events that would alter their lives and jeopardize their existence, every thing else followed: the PATRIOT Act, the suspension of the Constitution and destruction of civil liberty, Homeland Security which has quickly extended its gestapo reach from airports to train stations, bus terminals and highway road blocks, the criminalization of dissent, the equating of critics of the government with supporters of terrorism, the home invasions of antiwar protesters and their arraignment before a grand jury, the prosecution of whistleblowers who reveal government crimes, the equating of journalism organizations such as WikiLeaks with spies. The list goes on…’

National Movement Launched To Impeach Obama

Paul Joseph Watson | The five core reasons why Obama should be impeached.

THE FIVE CORE REASONS WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, April 12, 2012

A new national movement has been launched to impeach President Obama based around five core issues which clearly demonstrate how Obama has flagrantly violated the Constitution.

The campaign, backed by director, producer, actor and writer Sean Stone, is a follow-up to North Carolina Republican Walter Jones’ efforts to bring the administration to account for launching unconstitutional wars without the authorization of Congress. Jones’ recently introduced resolution states that such actions represent “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

The five core reasons for impeachment proceedings to be launched can be summarized as follows;

#1) Despite promising otherwise, Barack Obama committed U.S. military resources to overthrow Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi without any kind of congressional authorization whatsoever and without citing any evidence that Libya under Gaddafi was a threat to the security of the United States. Furthermore, Obama brazenly undermined the power of Congress by insisting his authority came from the United Nations Security Council and that Congressional approval was not necessary. “I don’t even have to get to the Constitutional question,” Obama churlishly remarked.

#2) On New Years Eve 2011, Obama signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act which includes provisions that permit the abduction and military detention without trial of U.S. citizens. Despite Obama claiming he would not use the provisions to incarcerate U.S. citizens, it was his administration that specifically demanded these powers be included in the final NDAA bill.

#3) The passage of the Obamacare bill, under which Americans will be forced to buy health insurance, is clearly anathema to the Constitution. “The individual mandate is unprecedented and exceeds Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. If it is allowed to stand, Congress will be able to impose any kind of economic mandate as part of any kind of national regulatory scheme,” writes Ilya Shapiro, a Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute.

#4) Obama’s role in the economic looting of America since he took office is unprecedented. Specifically, Obama violated the Constitution’s Takings and Due Process Clauses when he bullied the secured creditors of automaker Chrysler into accepting 30 cents on the dollar while politically connected labor unions and preferential others received better deals.

#5) Finally, Obama’s use of signing statements shows his desire to continue in the vein of George W. Bush and rule by executive fiat. This is a direct violation of Article II of the Constitution.

You can support this effort to get political momentum behind starting the impeachment process against Obama by forwarding this article and video to your network on Facebook, Twitter, You Tube and every other platform of communication.

If the makers of Kony 2012 can receive international viral coverage for putting out a film that was little more than a veiled call for another unconstitutional invasion, this call to impeach Obama deserves equal attention.

10 Things Online Data Collectors Won't Say - They know your online browsing secrets. We reveal their hidden tactics. By TANIA KARAS

http://albertpeia.com/10thingsonlinedatacollectorsdontsay.htm

1. "We're always watching you."

If you're reading this on the Internet, chances are you're being followed. More than 200 data collection companies and ad networks use approximately 600 different tracking technologies to gather and sell information on people's web habits, according to Abine, an online privacy firm that tracks the trackers. The online advertising industry is a $31 billion business fueled largely by behind-the-scenes exchanges of consumers' personal online shopping and browsing habits.

Web-based commercial data collectors work by quietly dropping bits of code called cookies on user computers, which allow collectors to track what people read, click or buy. That information, collected by companies such as BlueKai and DoubleClick (a Google subsidiary), is sold in real-time exchanges to ad networks, which then target segments of users with ads fitting their interests. Someone who just searched Expedia for information on Puerto Rico, for example, would be almost instantly hit with ads featuring San Juan hotels and resorts. Billions of these exchanges occur daily. Search engines and social networking sites such as Google and Facebook also track user data to generate targeted advertising. The result? The new cell phone or spring sandals users willed themselves not to buy show up in ads alongside their morning news.

Companies in the U.S. spend more than $2 billion annually to tap into consumer data, according to Forrester Research. Data trackers, ubiquitous across the web, are collecting, storing and sharing more information than ever before, says Chris Babel, CEO of online privacy solutions provider TRUSTe. "It's happening on nearly every site, all the time," he says.

 

2. "You can't really opt out of data tracking..."

People may "opt out" of the targeted advertising so common on the web, but that doesn't mean data collectors will stop following their every electronic move. In 2010, the Digital Advertising Alliance introduced a tool that alerts web users that their data is being collected and used for targeted advertising. Consumers who fill out an online form will no longer see targeted ads. However, their web click patterns will still be recorded, stored and sold to marketers, says Linda Woolley, executive vice president of the Direct Marketing Association, a trade group for marketers. Tracking companies built their businesses around using and selling their information to clients, she says.

And those who click "opt out" only get a temporary reprieve from the ads. As soon as they clear their browser cookies, users inadvertently opt back in, experts say, because they also get rid of the cookie that told ad networks not to target them. Consumers' best bet, say experts, is downloading a powerful, free add-on like Abine's, which works on all major browsers and continually updates itself to protect users from new trackers.

3. " And 'Do Not Track' options won't stop us either."

In addition to "opting out," many web browsers now offer "do not track" options, which actually send a signal to data collectors telling them not to track users. Various web browsers have different default settings for tracking. Safari, for example, automatically blocks third-party cookies that track users. Firefox accepts cookies, so it is up to the users to go into the settings and turn them off.

Right now "opt out" and "do not track" are often the same in practice. In fact, recent privacy debates have centered on the ambiguous definition of the terms. Currently there is no industry-wide "do not track" standard. Studies show most web users interpret it to mean their data will not be collected, but the online ad industry interprets it to mean the same thing as opting out, Woolley says. Tracking companies will continue to collect information on web users, but they won't target them with ads based on their data.

Unfortunately not all data tracking companies comply with do-not-track requests, says Sarah Downey, a lawyer and privacy expert for Abine. "Right now, do not track doesn't necessarily stop data collection or development of profiles about you," says Downey. "And it doesn't stop your data from being stored, collected and sold to the highest bidder." According to Woolley, online advertisers continue dropping cookies on users who don't want to be tracked for their own internal purposes. "There are lots of operational reasons why data collection is needed," she says, such as fraud prevention and product development.

Currently the Federal Trade Commission is pushing browser makers to adopt do-not-track tools and encouraging online ad networks to respect users' do-not-track settings. In a report on digital privacy released by the FTC recently, the agency said it would support legislation that defines "do not track" as zero data collection.

4. "We know your secrets."

Data trackers may know a woman is pregnant even before she tells her loved ones. They figure it out based on the web pages and advertisements clicked on recently. Target recently came under fire for combing through customer shopping patterns to identify potential soon-to-be-parents. Like other retailers, Target assigns its shoppers with a personalized code that lets the company record their every interaction with the store, from e-mails to web browsing to physical store visits. (Target declined to comment.) True, this kind of data crunching is mostly innocuous, but many web users have a word to describe it: creepy.

Retailers have used predictive analytics for years to help parse customer buying patterns -- and consumers often benefit. After all, it's not the worst thing to see ads for bridal dresses just as one's planning a wedding. Browsing and purchase history tracking by retailers provide value to a customer they would miss if they weren't tracked, says Fatemeh Khatibloo, an analyst for Forrester Research who covers the consumer data economy.

The potential danger, say privacy experts, is data trackers' access to a new realm of information on the web. "It's not just your past purchase history," says Chris Conley, a technology and civil liberties fellow for the ACLU of Northern California. Online data collection could conceivably be troubling if web history is used against someone to deny a credit card, job or health insurance, says Babel.

Such practices would be against industry standards, says Woolley. "Marketing data should never be used to make those kinds of decisions. It should only be used for marketing purposes," she says.

5. "We don't know your name..."

As powerful as the data-tracking tools are, the one thing the software often doesn't know is: the user's real name. Instead, consumers' page visits are tied to a random string of numbers designed to keep personally identifiable information private. These unique IDs follow a user around the web, informing data trackers which ads he or she is statistically likely to click based on past web-browsing habits.

Data brokers like Acxiom say they screen collected information to make sure it was obtained according to their privacy standards. "Our program qualifies all of the data we bring in" to ensure consumer privacy is protected, says Jennifer Barrett Glasgow, the company's chief privacy officer.

6. "...but we can probably figure it out."

The more online data trackers know about you, the anonymous web surfer, the easier it becomes for them to tie it to you, the person. For example, if a user is the only 65-year-old grandmother in Ames, Iowa who belongs to a certain gym and went to a particular college, it's just a matter of time before companies accumulate enough information to figure out her name, experts say. From there, data brokers can easily take online information offline, where they can obtain information such as a residential address from public documents. That information also gives companies insight into user's income stream.

Joseph Turow, a University of Pennsylvania professor studying Internet database marketing, maintains it's easy for multiple data collectors to combine databases and identify users. "Eventually someone might get you to fill out a form containing your name," says, author of "The Daily You: How the New Advertising Industry Is Defining Your Identity and Your Worth." Prior to that "you were User 56765 based on your cookies. You were anonymous, and now you're not," he says -- and this lack of anonymity makes users more vulnerable to identity fraud.

Woolley, however, says people should "absolutely not" be worried that data collectors will waste resources identifying individuals. "Nobody has an interest in doing that," she says. "Advertisers are interested in aggregated data -- entire categories of people who are interested in a particular product."

But just because data trackers don't have the time to trace anonymous data back to individuals doesn't mean nobody will. In 2006, Netflix released customer movie-rankings as data sets in a contest without identifying individuals by name. But the company drew the ire of customers and the Federal Trade Commission after some users were able to figure out the names of people ranking the movies. The company reached a deal with the FTC and canceled the contest. A similar incident happened when AOL released its search logs in 2006, prompting an apology from the company. These cases show that not all data collectors and ad agencies take proper steps to protect sensitive personal information, privacy experts say.

7. "We control who sees the best discounts and deals."

The web does not treat all users equally. Because data collectors can infer things like one's income level and credit score based on sites visited, they can also influence which products people see advertised what prices they are charged, Turow says. Companies like Acxiom use high-powered analytics tools to group web users into like categories based on monetary indicators, media consumption, age and other factors. They can sell their clients access to specific audiences, letting marketers pinpoint customers with the highest value and bypass the users who'll never click on an ad.

Data collectors "affect what ads consumers see and what coupons they get," Turow says. When they categorize consumers, "it may affect the way we see the world and see ourselves," he adds. To be sure, categorizing consumers "has been happening in marketing for decades," says Khatibloo. "The best customers get the $10 gift card or a free gift and the ones who don't spend any money, don't," she adds.

8. "We're tracking your smartphone, too."

The smartphone revolution didn't go unnoticed by data trackers. Consumers now spend 94 minutes daily on mobile apps and 72 minutes surfing the web on their phones, according to Flurry, an analytics and advertising company. Smartphone users are gold mines for data trackers and ad networks, which are often integrated into mobile apps, experts say. These so-called ad libraries have "access to your contacts, geo-location, call records, and other information that's stored on your phone," says Conley. On a computer, by comparison, data trackers can only see what one does in a web browser window.

Mobile ad networks target smartphone owners by tracking actions tied to a unique device identification number, a cookie-like code specific to each smartphone. These IDs let ad networks know where the owner of a particular smartphone has been on the mobile web. And that allows app-makers and advertisers to better target phones with ads. They can track users as they move from app to app to learn more about their interests. Unlike cookies within the web browser on a laptop, the unique ID on mobile apps can't be erased. This is potentially dangerous because of the sheer amount of data people keep on their phones, says Conley.

In February, a mobile social-networking app called Path was discovered to be uploading the full names, emails and phone numbers of contacts stored in its users' phones -- without their permission. If Path had been hacked, Babel says, people's private information would have been free for the taking. Path recently said it will scramble data it collects from phones to protect sensitive information it gathers. Congress is now investigating the data collection techniques of 34 mobile app-makers, including Path.

After the Path incident, Apple stepped up efforts to phase out unique device IDs. But advanced tracking companies like Mobile App Tracking and BlueCava are prepared for the switch. They now use a technology called "digital fingerprinting" that creates precise digital profiles of users that will recognize the same person no matter what device they use. In other words, these companies can tell it's you whether you're surfing the web on a computer, iPad or phone. "We look for correlating pieces of data that might indicate it's the same user," says BlueCava CEO David Norris. He argues digital fingerprinting is actually safer because users can install privacy settings, such as "do not track," across all their devices. It's still unclear, consumer privacy experts say, if the new technologies will be any better for consumers than traditional unique IDs.

9. "The information we have on you could be wrong."

Just because data trackers try their best to know your every move on the web doesn't mean they always get it right.

Carole Sharwarko, a 33-year-old woman in Homewood, Ill., says the ads that pop up on her browser about pregnancy and babies -- likely aimed at her due to her age and gender-- make her anxious about still being childless. "All the ads I see are about enrolling my kid in some cutest baby contest or regaining my pre-baby body," she says.

Marketing mix-ups like these are perhaps more annoying than harmful. But where erroneous data on individuals can cause trouble, say privacy experts, is in the case of commercial data collectors. These sites gather information on individuals from publicly available sources into detailed dossiers available to anyone online for little or no cost. Many of these firms are unregulated. One data collection site, Spokeo, combines the data users willingly share online with public records mined from phone books, marketing surveys, real estate listings and other sources, according to its website. "It's basically an FBI background check for $3.95," Downey says. "They're profiting off you, and you're not able to do anything about it." A spokesman for Spokeo says the company makes no guarantee the information is accurate.

There's no one-stop shop where users can view and edit the digital profiles data brokers create for them. But the FTC targeted such companies in its recent consumer privacy report calling for legislation that would give consumers access to data collected about them and allow them to edit it when necessary.

Sites like Reputation.com already monitor and correct erroneous information about its users -- for a fee. Insurance companies and employers may vet potential applicants by searching them online, says Reputation.com CEO Michael Fertik, so scrubbing the web of this kind of data protects users from harm. Simple web browsing information collected by data tracking firms, however, wouldn't fall under Reputation.com's radar. So, for now at least, consumers like Sharwarko have no recourse but to ignore the misfired ads.

10. "Your personal data may be worth thousands of dollars."

In a report last year, the World Economic Forum called personal data the "new oil," a valuable resource of the 21st century that's fueling a new wave of economic activity. The online ad industry alone is expected to balloon to $34 billion this year, according to analysts. Though it's hard to put a dollar amount on the value of one person's data to a data broker or ad firm, estimates range from a fraction of a cent for a single piece of data to $5,000 for a full digital profile. Buyers of certain products, like luxury goods or expensive health-related devices, are worth more to advertisers, Fertik says, so ad networks will pay more to reach them.

What's more, Turow says, data collectors often lure users into handing over even more information with the promise of gifts and coupons. "You might think you're getting a free gift, but once you give out that information, your value goes up far more than the value of whatever they've given you," he says. People should be wary of handing over personal details like their names, addresses or birthdates to marketers, he advises.

US Internet Criminalization Now Pursued at State Level – Conn. Attacked

The Daily Bell | These bills are all about the criminalizing of the Internet. [ Yes, indeed! Consistent with and as set forth infra in this article, my direct experience is that connecticut is just a corrupt nothing state that’s a ‘go along to get along participant’ in the new york/new jersey corruption/mob axis. Virginia is similarly corrupt with government mob a dominant player with a parasitic/symbiotic relationship with mob as well as non-mob aka ‘sometimes politics’; and california is just out to lunch which is consistent with reputation which is reality; though still light years better than, ie., jersey, etc..

US Internet Criminalization Now Pursued at State Level – Conn. Attacked The Daily Bell
Tuesday, April 3, 2012

ACLU Blasts ‘Electronic Harassment’ Bill; Says It Criminalizes Free Speech … The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut is blasting a bill proposed by state prosecutors that would make “electronic harassment” a crime — including such acts as posting information on the Internet that “has the effect of causing substantial embarrassment or humiliation to [a] person within an academic or professional community.” The bill, which comes up for a public hearing by the legislature’s judiciary committee Thursday, “criminalizes speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution,” said Sandra Staub, legal director for the state ACLU. “It’s vague. It’s overbroad.” For example, Staub said, it contains “no standards for substantially interfering with someone’s academic performance.” – N Hartford Courant

Dominant Social Theme: Now SOPA moves to the states. Good.

Free-Market Analysis: These bills are all about the criminalizing of the Internet. Now that SOPA has been pushed back on the federal front, the action is turning to the states. The idea, in our view, is to whittle away at the Internet bit by bit. Create precedent at the state level and then move in again at the federal level.

The powers-that-be don’t like the Internet or what we call the Internet Reformation that has changed the context of the power debate in the US and throughout the world.

The Internet has exposed the memes of the elite, the dominant social themes that are used to promote world government by scaring people into cooperating with internationalist facilities like the UN.

The powers-that-be are using the same strategies as regards the Internet. They are trying to convince people that a series of organized electrons are as a dangerous as a dark alley on a bad side of town. The Internet needs to be seriously policed and criminalized.

SOPA itself was an attempt at this criminalization. Here’s something from Wikipedia on the bill, which has not passed thus far:

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Provisions include the requesting of court orders to bar advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with infringing websites, and search engines from linking to the sites, and court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to the sites. The law would expand existing criminal laws to include unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content, imposing a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A similar bill in the U.S. Senate is titled the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA).

Whether or not these bills are being written by well-meaning people, they have the result of turning a free-speech arena into a criminally patrolled environment. As a result, communication will suffer and the ability of people to explain to each other the Way the World Works will also degrade. Here’s more from the article excerpted above:

As the bill is written, someone could be charged with electronic harassment — and, theoretically, jailed for up to a year and fined $2,000 because the crime would be a “class A” misdemeanor — if he or she posted information about a person that was true, Staub said. For example, she said, even if a student posted accurate information on Facebook saying that a certain professor had committed misconduct in the past, and that professor found it embarrassing or humiliating, the professor could ask the police to arrest the student.

Civil statutes and long-established case law already deal with allegations of defamation — a person can sue for slander or libel if his or her reputation is damaged by untrue information — and there’s no need to criminalize the issue, Staub said.

The virtue of civil defamation law is that a person cannot be held liable for defamation if the offending statement is true, Staub said, noting that the “electronic harassment” bill, as written, even removes truth as a defense.

Besides, Staub said, in a free society citizens should be able to offer negative opinions that may not even be absolute fact. Students should be allowed to rate the performance of professors, for example, by offering criticisms that they are inept or seem to take their lectures right out of some textbook, Staub said. “We have a constitutional right to annoy, bother, and offend, basically.”

Whatever else the ACLU may be, they have moments when they perform a real service, as in this case. There is nothing on the Internet that needs another law to confront it, as Staub herself notes. “Moreover, there are already criminal laws under which people are arrested for threatening and harassing others, she said. These existing criminal statutes contain well-established standards for what constitutes a crime — such as making statements to a person that cause him or her to fear physical harm.”

Perhaps a key point made in the article is a statement by Staub that the bill, Senate Bill 456, “has emerged seemingly out of nowhere, relatively far into the legislative session … ‘I have no idea why this bill is here.’”

We think we do, though. The US is apparently in the grip of directed history. A small criminal clique has grasped control of the US and is driving the country and the world toward global government. The Internet stands in their way and they will destroy it if they can.

Who knows if the Connecticut bill will go anywhere. It is “overly broad,” to say the least. But its introduction in Connecticut – a fascist mess of a state – is notable.

It does seem, in our humble view, to mark another expansion of the elite’s war against the Internet in the US. Perhaps there are similar initiatives being pursued in other states as well.

Conclusion: They begin at the federal level. That’s the first and simplest option. But now they are likely starting to work their way down to state and even municipal levels if necessary. This is how the dialectic is pursued.

Sarkozy: Prosecute and Imprison Readers of “Extremist” Websites

Kurt Nimmo | French citizens visiting “extremist” websites would be treated same as those who look at child pornography.

 [ Little nicky is so pathetic and a testament to how far france has fallen. Former ‘mossady’, this pro-zionist incompetent has really pulled france down, including his affront by ejecting his French wife in favor of the ‘experienced’ italian carla bruni, while midstream in public office no less. Like obama, he sounded like the ‘old biddies’ they are in plaintively expressing their displeasure with the bloodthirsty incompetent war-monger netanayahu (that ‘leave the microphone trick’). How pathetic for the world to have such failed leadership. The problem is, as with Galileo, Copernicus, etc., what if the ‘extremists’ are right? All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.--Arthur Schopenhauer  And, who determines what’s extreme? ]

 

 

Drudgereport:

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was, true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US.

"Cybersecurity" Bill Is Broad Enough to Use Against WikiLeaks and The Pirate Bay

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011, introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, allows companies or the government free rein to bypass existing laws in order to monitor communications, filter content, or potentially even shut down access to online services for "cybersecurity purposes." Companies are encouraged to share data with the government and with one another, and the government can share data in return. The idea is to facilitate detection of and defense against a serious cyber threat, but the language is so broad it could be used as a blunt instrument to attack websites like The Pirate Bay or WikiLeaks. Join EFF in calling on Congress to stop the Rogers cybersecurity bill.

Why Are Millions Of Americans Preparing For Doomsday? http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com  http://albertpeia.com/preparingfordoomsday.htmAll over America, there are millions of Americans that are quietly preparing for doomsday.  They are turning spare rooms into long-term food storage pantries, they are planting survival gardens, they are converting their homes over to alternative sources of energy, they are taking self-defense courses and they are stocking up on just about anything you can imagine.  They are called "preppers", and their numbers have absolutely exploded in recent years.  In fact, you might be living next door to one and never even realize it.  According to a recent Daily Mail article, there are approximately 3 million preppers in the United States today.  Others believe that the true number is significantly higher than that.  This movement has become so popular that there are now even television shows being done about preppers.  The most popular is probably "Doomsday Preppers" on the National Geographic Channel.  This movement is still growing and is not going to go away any time soon.  In fact, as the world continues to become even more unstable it is likely that a lot more Americans will find themselves becoming preppers in the years ahead.

So what exactly are all these people so concerned about?  Exactly why are there millions of Americans that are feverishly preparing for doomsday?

Well, the truth is that you will never find two preppers that are exactly alike.  Some are deeply concerned about the potential for natural disasters and believe that we are now entering into a time when there will be catastrophic earth changes.  Other preppers believe that terrorism is the most significant threat to our way of life.  Killer pandemics, an EMP attack, World War III, martial law, solar megastorms, asteroid strikes and societal chaos are some of the other things that some preppers are worried about.

Of course an economic collapse is one of the biggest concerns for preppers, and without a doubt the U.S. economy is deeply troubled.  A collapse of the financial system would change all of our lives permanently.

But it isn't just preppers that are concerned about these things.

A recent survey conducted by National Geographic asked Americans the following question....

"Which of the following, if any, do you think might happen in the United States in the next 25 years? Please choose all that apply."

These were the results....

Significant Earthquake 64%
Significant Hurricane 63%
Terrorist Attack 55%
Financial Collapse 51%
Significant Blackout 37%
Pandemic, Such as From a Super-Virus 29%
Nuclear Fallout 14%
None of These 13%

Obviously there are a whole lot of people out there that feel as though we are heading for some really bad stuff.

So if hard times are coming, why not prepare for them?

After all, none of us want to end up like the poor people of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  Large numbers of people were herded into the Superdome and food and water ran out really fast.  There was rampant looting of stores and people were shooting each other in the streets.  It was mass chaos.

The following is what one Australian blogger experienced while staying in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina....

Last night was horrendous. I heard shouting, and drinks machines being smashed. There’s no sanitation and it’s so smelly. My hair is greasy and I feel a wreck. There are crack alleys among the maze of corridors. The lights are broken in the loos which, as well as being disgusting, have become dangerous, so we now only go as a big group.

More people are arriving, and the dome is like a refugee camp. I see two soldiers carrying a corpse and we hear there are more dead in the basement.

As an article in the New York Times from that time period detailed, food and water were in very short supply and those cramped into the Superdome were rapidly becoming impatient....

Desperation was in the air. Danielle Shelby tugged at a reporter's arm. "I have a handicapped daughter," she said. "She's over there with her wheelchair. She's hot. We don't have any water. I'm afraid she's going to have a seizure."

Others crowded around. "I've been in the food line twice, and every time I get to the front they tell me they don't have any left," said Juanita McFerrin, 80.

Later on in that same article, we are told that there were fights, rapes and at least one suicide in the Superdome during that time....

It got worse. Ms. Rousell recalled hearing a loud bang Tuesday afternoon as the body of a man slapped the concrete at the edge of the football field in a fatal suicidal plunge, after he apparently learned that his home had been destroyed. Others told of fights that broke out in food lines, and of a husband and wife who slugged each other in a wild argument.

Several residents said they had heard of children being raped, though it was not clear whether anyone reported such incidents to the authorities, and no officials could be found who could confirm the accounts.

To get an even better idea of what life in New Orleans was like in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, just check out this video.

Within just a few days food, water and supplies started pouring into New Orleans and things started slowly getting back to normal, but imagine what things would look like in this country if we had to deal with a national disaster that stretched on for months or even years?

Many preppers are not taking any chances.  Many are absolutely determined to be able to take care of their families and friends no matter what the years ahead may bring.

ABC News recently profiled one prepper named Tim Ralston....

Tim Ralston, a married father of two from Arizona, is one such "prepper."

"There's a lot of different things that could happen," Ralston said. "For me, I look at prepping as kind of like insurance. You have car insurance, health insurance, life insurance."

Call it Apocalypse insurance. Ralston turned his family's two-car garage into a staging area. Inside is a trailer, which he keeps packed and ready to go at all times, stockpiles of freeze-dried food, including cartons of canned chicken with a shelf life of 15 years, survival gear, such as a system for purifying polluted water, first aid kits and lots of weapons and ammunition. His son has his own AK-47.

Some preppers are going to the extreme and are spending huge amounts of money on their prepping.

CNN recently profiled one Australian prepper that has spent about $350,000 preparing for doomsday....

Bast has spent about $5,000 on stockpiles of food and water, and $11,000 on equipment including gas cookers, generators, batteries, water purifiers and solar power. He also purchased roughly an acre of land that's a 75-minute drive from Melbourne and 1,500 feet above sea level (in order to stay high and dry in case of a flood or tsunami). He has built a house there, as well as a bunker to serve as his "safe spot" in the event of an emergency. Together, the land, buildings and bunker have cost him a total of about $330,000.

He's also spent $10,000 on an 8-year old Toyota HiLux pickup truck to drive to his safe spot.

But the truth is that prepping does not have to be expensive.

The key is to start by focusing on the five basics....

·        Food

·        Water

·        Shelter

·        Energy

·        Self-Defense

There are some practical things that just about anyone can do even if you don't have a lot of money.

For example, when you go to the store try to pick up a few extra items that are on sale and add them to your supplies.  If you rotate your food supplies, they won't go bad.

In addition, just about anyone can plant a garden.  Often fruits and vegetables are some of the most expensive items at the grocery store, and so growing a garden can end up saving you a lot of money.

Get educated.  There are dozens of prepper websites out there where you can get an education in prepping for free.  The following are a few examples of some of the excellent prepper websites that are out there today....

*Survival Blog

*American Preppers Network

*The Survival Mom

*SHTFPlan.com

*Prepper Website

*Survival 4 Christians

*Backdoor Survival

*Off Grid Survival

The truth is that our world is becoming increasingly unstable in a whole bunch of different ways and we all need to learn how to prepare for the difficult years ahead.

As the economy continues to fall apart, America is going to become a very heartless place.  You don't want to be caught in the middle of societal chaos without a plan.

None of us should be relying on the government to save us when things hit the fan.  We all saw what happened after Hurricane Katrina.  Those that were depending on the government were deeply disappointed.

We should all try to become as independent of the system as we can, because the system is failing.  In the years ahead there might not be anybody to help you and your family, so you need to be working hard right now to ensure that you and your family will be taken care of.

Yes, as you may have guessed by now, I am a prepper too.  My wife and I moved to an entirely different state and totally changed our lifestyle to prepare for what is coming.

Hopefully this article will inspire many more Americans to prepare for what is coming.  A great economic collapse is on the horizon and time is rapidly running out.’

 

USA #1? 40 Embarrassing Things That America Is The Best In The World At  http://endoftheamericandream.com  http://albertpeia.com/40badthingsusa#1.htmIs the USA still #1?  Well, there are many things that America is still the best in the world at, but unfortunately a lot of those categories are nothing to be proud of.  Once upon a time the United States was the greatest nation on earth, but now we are a nation that is in a horrific state of decline.  Just consider a few of the embarrassing things that America leads the world in: obesity, crime, divorce, teen pregnancy, child abuse deaths and government debt.  The statistics that you are about to read below are incredibly disturbing.  Most people that write these kinds of articles about the decline of America hate this country.  But that is not the case with me.  I was born and raised in America and I love this nation deeply.  It is time to realize that we will never be able to start fixing our problems until we take a really good look in the mirror and realize just how far we have fallen.  America is not the country that it once was.  America is a complete and total mess and just "tweaking" a few things here and there is not going to return this nation to its former glory.  We have forgotten the things that once made us great, and if we do not return to them we will continue to fall apart as a nation.

With that being said, the following are 40 embarrassing things that America is the best in the world at....

#1 America has the highest incarceration rate and the largest total prison population in the entire world by a good margin.

#2 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.

#3 Of all the major industrialized nations, America is the most obese.  Mexico is #2.

#4 The average American drinks more than 600 sodas a year - the most in the world.

#5 U.S. corporations sell more fast food and more soda than anyone else in the world by a wide margin.

#6 Nobody watches more television per week (28 hours) than Americans do.  Although to be honest, people living in the UK are tied with us.

#7 The United States leads the world in credit card fraud.

#8 The United States has the highest percentage of one person households on the entire planet.

#9 The United States has the highest divorce rate in the world by a good margin.

#10 The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the world by far.

#11 There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.

#12 The United States has the highest child abuse death rate in the world.

#13 There are more "deaths by reptile" in America than anywhere else in the world.

#14 The United States has the most lawyers per capita in the entire world.

#15 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world.

#16 Americans take more prescription drugs than anyone else in the world.

#17 More is spent on prescription drug advertising in America than anywhere else in the world.

#18 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world.

#19 More people have been diagnosed with mental disorders in America than anywhere else on earth.

#20 The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire globe.

#21 There is more credit card debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#22 There is more mortgage debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#23 There is more student loan debt in America than anywhere else in the world.

#24 The United States spends more money on government schools than any other nation on earth does.

#25 U.S. citizens spend more time in school than anyone else in the world.  So why are so many of us dumb as a rock?

#26 Nobody in the world gets more plastic surgery done than Americans do.

#27 The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.

#28 According to nationmaster.com, the United States has the most total reported crimes in the world by far.

#29 Nobody has more airport security thugs groping women and children than America does.

#30 The United States spends much more on health care as a percentage of GDP than any other nation on the face of the earth.

#31 The United States has the most complicated tax system on the entire planet.

#32 The United States has the most laws on the entire planet.

#33 The United States spends more on the military than the next 12 nations combined, and yet the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent.

#34 The United States has the most foreign military bases in the world by far.

#35 The United States exports more arms to other countries than anyone else in the world.

#36 Americans spend more time sitting in traffic than anyone else in the world.

#37 Americans spend more money on elections than anyone else does in the world by a very wide margin.

#38 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the world by far.

#39 The U.S. government wastes more money than any other government on earth does.

#40 The United States has accumulated the biggest mountain of government debt in the history of the world.

So is the USA #1?

Unfortunately, the answer way too often is yes.

The goal of this list of embarrassing things is not to trash America.

Rather, the goal is to wake Americans up and to get them to realize what has happened to us.

We should be deeply humbled and embarrassed as a nation.  We were once the best in the world and the envy of the entire globe, but now the whole world is laughing at us.

America is supposed to be a beacon of liberty, freedom and prosperity for the entire planet.

Instead, we are rapidly turning into a horror show.

Wake up America.  The condition of our country is absolutely shameful, and every single day it gets even worse.

Please share this list with as many people as you can.  The American people need a massive wake up call, and it is up to those of us that are awake to share the truth while we still can.’

 

 

 

They Love Death  http://endoftheamericandream.com http://albertpeia.com/theylovedeath.htm

Have you ever known someone that loves death?  When someone truly is in love with death, it can take that person to a very dark place.  Unfortunately, there are a growing number of scientists, politicians and global opinion makers that believe that we must reduce the size of the human population for the good of the planet.  They are convinced that humanity is causing global warming, killing off other species and making this planet unlivable.  In their quest to save the future of the planet, they are becoming bolder and bolder with their calls for population control.  They love death because they believe that it will help save the earth.  They figure that with less humans around, there will be less carbon emissions, less pollution and more room for other species.  So how will this be achieved?  Well, as you will read about in the rest of this article, "after-birth abortions", "mobile euthanasia teams", "sperm-destroying ultrasound technology" and putting contraceptives in the tap water are just some of the ways that are being proposed to reduce current human numbers.  This hatred of life and love of death is being taught in colleges and universities all over the western world, and this population control philosophy is becoming increasingly dominant with each passing year.

I realize that the idea of "mobile euthanasia teams" may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but the truth is that this is not just a "pie in the sky" concept.

In fact, in the Netherlands six mobile euthanasia teams are now going door-to-door to help elderly patients end their lives in the comfort of their own homes.

The following description of this program comes from a recent article in The Independent....

The project, which has provoked sharp criticism from doctors, is the brainchild of the Dutch largely donor-funded Right to Die NL. It follows the government's 2002 decision to legalise euthanasia, making the Netherlands the first country in the world to do so. Walburg de Jong, a spokeswoman for the organisation said that since the ruling some 3,100 assisted suicides had been carried out annually. The mobile euthanasia teams, she said, operated free of charge and were designed to make it easier for patients enduring interminable suffering to end their lives.

Can you imagine your grandparents getting a visit someday from a mobile euthanasia team?

But it is not just the elderly that are being targeted for death.

Two scientists recently made headlines all over the world when they released a paper calling for the legalization of ''after-birth abortion''.

Alberto Giubilini of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and Francesca Minerva of the University of Melbourne co-authored an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics entitled "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?"

In their paper, they argue that a baby is just a "potential person" and that "killing a newborn should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled."

Giubilini and Minerva argue that just because a baby is human does not mean that it has any rights.  The follow quote is from their paper....

"Merely being human is not in itself a reason for ascribing someone a right to life. Indeed, many humans are not considered subjects of a right to life: spare embryos where research on embryo stem cells is permitted, fetuses where abortion is permitted, criminals where capital punishment is legal"

Giubilini and Minerva also believe that the "burden" placed on the family and on society by a new baby must be given precedence when it comes to matters of live and death.  The following is another quote from their paper....

"To bring up such children might be an unbearable burden on the family and on society as a whole…On these grounds, the fact that a foetus has the potential to become a person who will have an (at least) acceptable life is no reason for prohibiting abortion."

Giubilini and Minerva insist that "after-birth abortions" would have a lot of advantages.

For example, approximately a third of all babies with Down syndrome are not diagnosed in the womb.  After-birth abortions would take care of that "problem" by allowing mothers to "terminate" those children after they have been born.

Other scientists aren't just concerned about giving the elderly and new mothers more "choices".  Many are now advocating the implementation of strict global measures to reduce the human population for the sake of the environment.

For example, Colorado State University Professor Philip Cafaro recently released a paper entitled "Climate Ethics and Population Policy".  In that paper, Cafaro declared that humans are committing "interspecies genocide" and that therefore it is imperative to reduce our numbers....

"Scientists now speak of humanity’s increased demands and impacts on the globe as ushering in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. Such selfish and destructive appropriation of the resources of the Earth can only be described as interspecies genocide."

For Cafaro, simply stopping the growth of the human population on earth is not enough.  He says that in order to prevent "catastrophic global climate change" we are going to have to "significantly" reduce the size of the global population....

"Ending human population growth is almost certainly a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for preventing catastrophic global climate change. Indeed, significantly reducing current human numbers may be necessary in order to do so."

Unfortunately, a love of death is now widespread at U.S. colleges and universities.  For example, Professor of Biology at the University of Texas at Austin Eric R. Pianka once wrote the following....

I do not bear any ill will toward people. However, I am convinced that the world, including all humanity, WOULD clearly be much better off without so many of us.

Population control is something that Bill Gates has been putting a lot of funding into as well.  The following example comes from a recent Natural News article....

Mass vaccination is apparently not the only depopulation strategy being employed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as new research funded by the organization has developed a way to deliberately destroy sperm using ultrasound technology. BBC News reports that the Gates Foundation awarded a grant to researchers from the University of North Carolina (UNC) to develop this new method of contraception.

For their study, the UNC team tested ultrasound on lab rats and found that two 15-minute doses "significantly reduced" both sperm counts and sperm integrity. When administered two days apart through warm salt water, ultrasound caused the rats' sperm counts to drop below ten million sperm per milliliter, which is five million less than the "sub-fertile" range, and stay that way for up to six months.

Sadly, it is not just a few scientists and opinion makers that are obsessed with death and population control.

As I have written about previously, the United Nations continues to push Agenda 21 on the entire globe.  The following is how the United Nations defines Agenda 21....

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

The United Nations publishes report after report calling for more "global governance" over the environment.  The following comes from a recent Fox News article....

The report, “21 Issues for the 21st Century,” from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Foresight Process, is the culmination of a two-year deliberative process involving 22 core scientists. It is expected to receive considerable attention in the run-up to the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which will be held in Rio, Brazil, in June.

The scientists who wrote the report say it focuses on identifying emerging issues in the global environment, and that it is not about mandating solutions.

But its critics see an agenda lurking in its 60 pages, which call for a complete overhaul of how the world's food and water are created and distributed -- something the report says is “urgently needed” for the human race to keep feeding and hydrating itself safely.

But it isn't just food and water that the United Nations wants control over.

The truth is that the United Nations is absolutely obsessed with the number of people living on the planet.

In a recent report entitled, "Resilient People, Resilient Planet: A Future Worth Choosing" the UN warned about our "unsustainable lifestyles" and of the disastrous impact of population growth....

But what, then, is to be done if we are to make a real difference for the world’s people and the planet? We must grasp the dimensions of the challenge. We must recognize that the drivers of that challenge include unsustainable lifestyles, production and consumption patterns and the impact of population growth. As the global population grows from 7 billion to almost 9 billion by 2040, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially. By 2030, the world will need at least 50 percent more food, 45 percent more energy and 30 percent more water — all at a time when environmental boundaries are throwing up new limits to supply. This is true not least for climate change, which affects all aspects of human and planetary health.

We are constantly being told these days that the problem is that there are "too many people" and that if there are less people things will be better.

Members of the U.S. government are even preaching this philosophy.

Just the other day, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was publicly proclaiming that the new requirement that all health insurance plans cover sterilizations and contraceptives will be good for employers and health insurance companies because it will mean less births.  She argued that the savings from less people being born will more than make up for the expense of the sterilizations and the contraceptives.

Sebelius told Congress the following on Thursday....

"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception"

Other members of the Obama administration are preaching the population control gospel as well.  U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has even stated that population control will be a "centerpiece" of U.S. foreign policy from now on.

We even find a love of death in the White House.  Barack Obama's top science advisor, John P. Holdren, once wrote the following....

"A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.

The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births."

That quote should send a chill up your bones.

In America today, life is considered to be cheap, and that is especially true if you are "disabled" or "defective" in any way.

At one U.S. hospital, a 3-year-old girl named Amelia was recently denied a kidney transplant because she is considered to be "mentally retarded".

How would you feel if that was your child?

Unfortunately, society continues to move away from the idea that life is inherently valuable and deserves to be preserved.

In fact, many top global opinion makers are openly calling for a dramatic reduction in human numbers.

CNN Founder Ted Turner once said the following....

"A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal."

For many more shocking quotes about population control from scientists, politicians and top global opinion makers, just check out this article which I published previously.

The world is becoming a very heartless place.

Those at the top look down on the rest of us as if we were vermin that need to be exterminated.

Increasingly, this sick population control agenda is being preached at us in the mainstream media.  For example, just check out what the editorial page editor of The Detroit News says should be done in Michigan....

Since the national attention is on birth control, here's my idea: If we want to fight poverty, reduce violent crime and bring down our embarrassing drop-out rate, we should swap contraceptives for fluoride in Michigan's drinking water.

We've got a baby problem in Michigan. Too many babies are born to immature parents who don't have the skills to raise them, too many are delivered by poor women who can't afford them, and too many are fathered by sorry layabouts who spread their seed like dandelions and then wander away from the consequences.

Michigan's social problems and the huge costs attached to them won't recede until we embrace reproductive responsibility.

He is seriously proposing to put contraceptives into our drinking water?

How can people be so twisted?

Sadly, as I mentioned earlier, this philosophy is being endlessly preached at thousands of colleges and universities all over the world.

The sick adherents of this philosophy love death and are obsessed with controlling the population of the earth.

They are just going to keep pushing their agenda further and further and further.

They truly believe that they must reduce our numbers in order to save the planet.

But in their zeal to "save the earth" they may take all of us to a very, very dark place…’

Hazards of Digital Locks Provisions: Censorship Fears in Canada's C-11 Bill

While copyright owners claim that they need anti-circumvention laws to address copyright infringement, twelve years' experience with the U.S. DMCA provisions demonstrates that overbroad digital locks laws can wreak havoc on lawful, non-infringing activities, stifle free speech and scientific research, and harm innovation and competition. Small wonder that a broad range of groups in Canada have come out against the unforgiving nature of Canada's C-11 Bill, including librarians, content creators, rights advocates and others.

Encrypt the Web: Tell Online Dating Sites to Stop Slovenly Privacy Habits

For many years, EFF has been working to encrypt the Web, pushing websites to adopt better security and providing users with tools to protect themselves. This month, we're looking at online dating sites, which can be particularly negligent in safeguarding the sensitive data of users. Our analysis found these sites failed to implement even basic levels of security, but we were particularly concerned about the negligent security practices we discovered on the free dating site OkCupid. We've contacted the site and asked them to improve, but we could use your help. Send OkCupid an email today asking them to implement HTTPS.

Researchers Use EFF's SSL Observatory To Discover Widespread Cryptographic Vulnerabilities

Using data from EFF's SSL Observatory project, a team of researchers conducted an audit of the public keys used to protect HTTPS.

Six Heartbreaking Truths about Online Dating Privacy

Millions of people are using online dating sites to search for love or connection, but users should beware: many online dating sites are taking short cuts in safeguarding the privacy and security of users. Whether it's due to counter-intuitive privacy settings or serious security flaws, users of online dating profiles risk their privacy and security every day. We've put together six sobering facts about online dating services and a few suggestions for routing around the privacy pitfalls.

Comparing Privacy and Security Practices on Online Dating Sites

Concerned about your privacy when you use online dating sites? You should be. We found that the majority of the sites we examined did not take even basic security precautions, leaving users vulnerable to having their personal information exposed or their entire account taken over when using shared networks, such as at coffee shops or libraries.

A Better Path for Apps: Respecting Users and Their Privacy

Earlier this week, a Singapore-based iOS software developer made a startling discovery while working with the popular social-networking app Path: in the course of every new account creation, Path uploads the new user's entire iPhone address book to their servers. The strong user reaction demonstrates that even as norms of sharing evolve online and in the social networking space, users still value their privacy highly.

India's Downward Spiral

The world's biggest democracy is a formidable power in the IT sector. Despite playing such a role -- or perhaps because of it -- India has struggled to strike a balance between its security concerns and online freedom. Though the country's constitution guarantees the right to freedom of expression, the state is given the right to impose "reasonable restrictions ... in the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to an offence."

Iran Ratchets Up Its Internet Censorship

The Iranian government has not openly acknowledged these new measures. However, they are widely thought to be preliminary steps towards a nation-wide Halal Internet that would cut off a majority of citizens from the global web -- replacing it with one that would effectively block all foreign sites, allowing only state-controlled content to be accessed within Iran.

What the RIAA Won't Tell You: Users Matter

The New York Times published a lengthy screed from Cary Sherman, president of the Recording Industry Association of America, complaining about how "Google and Wikipedia" got in the way of efforts to ram through the Internet blacklist bills, never mind the massive collateral damage to Internet security, expression, and innovation those bills would have caused. The op-ed's really unfortunate message is that Hollywood still thinks the way forward is for a few executives to sit down together and make a deal.

The perpetual, invisible window into your Gmail inbox

Since Gmail added OAuth support, an increasing number of startups are asking for a perpetual, silent window into your inbox. While hugely convenient for both developers and users, OAuth may be paving the way for an inevitable privacy meltdown.

Wow I am appalled at the state of society and just as appalled at the racial tones thrown around in the comments. When i read this i didn’t even equate this to black or white. Although reading more about this most of this was people of color. Don’t get me wrong i am no liberal i just don’t see skin color as a judgement before character. This season there has been a far greater number of stories of blacks in shopping incidents. I am sure the we will do a 10 million dollar study funded by the government. My thought is the social issues are escalating due to the not phasing out of Affirmative action. It had a purpose initially but now there is a segment of society dependent on it along with providing a nanny state. It’s creating a racial divide and an attitude of oh i deserve this it’s taken generations. We now have a nanny state, which is by design to buy votes not to help long term by making us equal in anyway. We have now a group that is dependent and believes they are less than so they need this. This didn’t create equality, it created a monster and now we have a president who is using the divide it has cause as a weapon against whites. The facts are well know there is no evidence that supports this Affirmative action as a long term thing had help our society. We all have to stand on our own sooner or later. Please don’t read into this that i believe all blacks are in this whirlpool hell no. It’s very much becoming a Hispanic issue also, they can sneak into the US and get a free ride on many services. What the hell, i have been brought up if i can’t afford i don’t get it, including times where my cupboard was bare. I don’t go to the state, don’t have kids if you can’t afford them, don’t have sex if you can’t afford protection. Yet we provide food and shelter for people who do nothing for other peoples money distributed by the Government and stolen from the tax payer. We are at a tipping point the number of people on assistance is close to the amount not when that happens we have no chance of turning it around. This mess filled a need and works fine short term, long term dependence take incentive and personal drive away and creates a restless society that is given just enough to get buy and no satisfaction of achievement. This is a colorless problem of entitlements and Affirmative action. Now we are at a point if we change it there is going to be racial and class warfare. Thanks libs, thanks obama for the mastering us of the race card. Sorry about the rant.

The crowd supporters behind him chanted “Jordon! Fordon” as the Reverand went on to ask: “why didn’t Nike just give the shoes away to anyone that wanted them? This is an outrage”.

It has nothing to do with the color of their skin. This is what liberalism has done to the urban areas. They tell a group of people that they are not capable of providing for their families and that everyone else owes them, and they promise that the government will take care of them. Thus the people barely get by, have too much idle time on their hands, they are unhappy, want the same things as most families but they are dependent on the government, and they have been told their WHOLE LIFE that they are not capable of anything more, and the cycle continues. What liberalism has done to human beings breaks my heart.

Marilyn,
You have provided an excellent succinct explaination for this type of behavior. However, you have left out the fact that people’s sinful desires push them toward these actions. Because the people of whom we speak have too frequently not faced the consequences of their actions. they are often all too willing to act in very unlawful ways.

Liberalism and the Democrats have destroyed the black family structure and turned them into a taxpayer-subsidized crop of Dem voters. In 1940 – back before all the civil rights and welfare stuff began – 80% of black children were born into married, two parent families. What is that figure nowadays? 10% maybe? It is sure a small fraction of what it used to be.

That’s easy. Blacks are hostile and easily provoked because they feel entitled. Generation after generation teach their kids how to manipulate the system and they are experts at it. Most of them think that society owes them something and that it should provide for them.

At what point in society do we finally stop and admit that a certain race of people are different from all other races. A certain race of people are more violent and mean than others. When do we start seperating this group from others for protection of society in general. When a certain race costs everybody more because of their out of control lawlessness, should we make them pay instead of penalizing everybody for the actions of a few. Frankly, I’m tired of my taxes being higher to pay for more police, more prisons, more courts and additional defense attorneys because 12% of the population commits 70% of the crime. Food and clothing costs are higher because of theft, insurance is higher because of carelessness, stealing, vandalizism, drug use and virtually every other commodity and activity is more expensive because one race fails to raise their kids and fails to teach their children to follow and respect the law. It’s unfortunate and sad because there are a few members of this race who do what’s right but they are overshadowed by a large majority who act completely uncivilized. We’ve been allowing this to go on long enough. Something must be done and that doesn’t mean more free handouts or reparations. It’s time they started paying for what they take, use, destroy and what they cost the World.

Have your own food stored, cash on hand, and not only posses firearms but be proficient in their use. It will be a life and death situation that this group of society will only make worse. If you arent scared, you arent living in reality. Get over the “hater” taunts and racist shouts—if they’d do this over fashion sneakers imagine what they’d do to you in a true crisis.

Most of these comments are really horrible. This has NOTHING to do with the race of the people involved. This is what happens with 50 years of liberalism. This is exactly what the democrat party wanted. A segment of society that will ALWAYS vote for them. They have taken a group of people and for generations have told them that the rest of society owes them. They have told this group of people that they are NOT capable of taking care of themselves or their families. They have been pushed through school while learning NOTHING except what party to vote for. When a crime is committed they are often not made to pay for the crime but are given exuses for the crime. What did you democrat voters think would happen? That your stupid policies would work, even though you look back and see 50 years of failure.

This whole mentality was spawned by big government, but every intelligent man must think for himself and act as his own man or woman. Long after this event has passed, the bitter taste of welfare, drugs, booze and abortion on demand, and school systems that affirm lawlessness and immorality in the schools will be alive and well in the black community. An illiterate ebonics-speaking woman named “something-esha” is not gonna be at the top of the resume’ pile. Sadly, so many good black folks get painted with this brush, and it’s unfair. “Feral” blacks understand what they are doing wrong, but they don’t care. They have become uncivilized. Politicians like them because they 1) vote as a single block, 2) are easy to fool, 3) they don’t learn fast, 4)they just want “more stuff” which politicians love to throw at them in speeches, and bellicose repartee; but no action.

PHILADELPHIA — Mayor Michael A. Nutter, telling marauding black youths “you have damaged your own race,” imposed a tougher curfew Monday in response to the latest “flash mob” — spontaneous groups of teens who attack people at random on the streets of the city’s tourist and fashionable shopping districts.

“Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer,” Mr. Nutter, the city’s third black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.”

“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you ‘cause you look like you’re crazy,” the mayor said. “You have damaged your own race.”

What happened to the Civil Rights leaders and participants? If you look back at photos of those people, their heads were always held high, they knew there was a better America and they were helping to create it.

Then along came the liberal programs, blacks were given handouts and special treatment and this is the outcome. A bunch of animals fighting over ugly shoes. Shoes! sneakers! They aren’t even decent shoes, just sneakers–you’ll wear them untied so they flop around on your feet.

You can’t speak English, merely ghetto slur. You can’t pull up or zip up your pants, you can’t tie your shoes–you’re just not smart enough. And yes, your trashy president encourages this behavior. You’re much easier to manage when you’re just a bunch of animals to be poked and prodded as necessary.

Not Independents, as on a State or Federal level a vote THIS TIME for an Independent is a vote for the End of America as we know it. The debt piling up will kill us or the Taxes will.

ATTENTION: Blue Dog Democrats, the DNC/Obama has stated ‘YOU are NOT in our Future plans.’

Michael Jordan and Nike should be held accountible for this atrocity. If gun manufacturers are at fault for gun crimes, then Michael Jordan and Nike should be made to suffer for this chimpout. On a serious note, however, wouldn’t a statement from Michael Jordan go a long, long way toward reducing the violence. If he simply said, “Really folks, are you serious? You’re going to hurt each other over a pair of overpriced basketball shoes?” But no, MJ doesn’t have it in him because as long as there is an extra nickel to be drained from his peeps, he’s perfectly OK with the violence. Well done, Mike. Well done.

The big question is why isn’t OBAMA speaking out on this issue??? He manages to find time to speak out if a white police officer is ACCUSED of racism when he restrains a black “professor” from breaking into his house. Remember that? Without knowing the facts he JUMPS and gives a speech. But incidents like these teenage hoodlums who rob, beat up, and steal every day he says NOT A WORD about. This is Obamanation. I hope those of you who voted for him are happy now.

Rev Al Sharpton’s take on this news: “Da reason fo all deez people running amuck and fightin’ and actin’ unruly is because da white man and society, namely Republicans in da Congress, are gettin’ in the way of President Obama’s plan to hand out more free monies into the minority community. It’s also the blame of rich White communities across America who aren’t willing to spread more of their wealth and make sure it goes into da hands of inner cities and African-American communities. Think about it…if these fine, upstanding customers had more monies at their disposal, they could have paid some illegal aliens to stand in line for them to buy these items which they desperately need and wouldn’t have to get into fights in da first place.”

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s take on this news: “The EVIL corporations run by WHITE men are to blame for this terrible atrocity!! Therefore, with all my graciousness and good-will, I am planning to sue Nike shoes (for not supplying enough sneakers), Michael Jordan’s white lawyer (because I can’t sue a good brother like MJ!), the WHITE mall security who employed brutal tactics against these innocent customers, and last but not least… my Rainbow Coalition will make sure these businesses are not only selling enough items to African-American shoppers but will also ensure that they are hiring enough minorities in their stories. And I will say this, if our investigation turns up that they aren’t, we will take them over and my son Jesse Jr and I will make sure that they are run fairly. Plain and simple. It’s time to put an end to this WHITE tyranny in America once and for all!!!”

Black people are uncivilized savages. They are the only race that needs to be coddled and treated like little babies. It’s not a “white vs. black” thing – NO other race likes blacks. Disgusting beasts who belong in the freaking jungle, period. Thank you LBJ and all you other POS democrats.

Yes...it's absolutely, unequivocally true that blacks are inherently uncivilized and in evolutionary terms, only evolved to a point ( http://albertpeia.com/anthroindex1.htm ). They are themselves racist, intolerant, hypocritical [ UPDATE: MORE CLAIMS OF RACE BIAS AT HOLDER JUSTICE DEPARTMENT... (WP) ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims ' ], and prone to violence as with any feral animal. Moreover, I must admit that I find their simian look repulsive; and, even before totally realizing the foregoing reality owing to self-destructive egalitarian propaganda, never did and never would know a black female in the biblical sense (despite their ‘intrusively easy availability’ - not a matter of skin color inasmuch as I have ‘known biblically’ red-Indian, brown-Hispanic, yellow-Oriental women). Wobama the b for b***s*** is a typical, jive-talking 'n-word' and consequently an abject failure as president. I was fortunate to have no blacks whatsoever in my schools (schooling) through high school.

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, for no reason other than for the sake of killing (which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Wayne Madsen: Holder’s Fast & Furious was Designed to Destablize Mexican Government Infowars Nightly News | ‘Wayne Madsen has learned from his contacts within the Beltway intelligence community that Jared Lee Loughner is an “MK-ULTRA” programmed assassin and that US District Judge John Roll and Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords were targetted for assassination.The reason for the decision to target Judge Roll and Congresswoman Giffords has to do with their knowledge of the malicious and purposeful arming of Mexican drug gangs along the US-Mexico border by US intelligence agency assets in an effort designed to destablize the Mexican government.This towards the end of making Mexico more dependent on US military aid and protection from its private security contractors.A key quote from Wayne Madsen’s report follows:

“WMR has been told that in 2009, information about the CIA/Homeland Security/Napolitano smuggling operation came to the attention of three individuals, two members of Congress and a federal judge. The three were Arizona Democratic Representatives Giffords, Republican Representative Mike Conaway from west Texas, and Judge Roll. Giffords and Roll were working together on investigating the extent of the clandestine weapons and druigs smuggling operation and held some joint meetings with informants, one in north Phoenix, in 2009.Information on the investigation and informants was strictly limited to only a few trusted staffers and clerks for Giffords and Roll. In addition, Conaway was also being briefed by informants on the smuggling operation but since the death of Roll and the severe mental and physical incapacitation of Giffords from the shooting carried out by Jared Lee Loughner, said to be an MK-ULTRA-like trained assassin, he has gone silent in fear for his own safety.Loughner’s was declared mentally incompetent and there are reports, including one in Slate Magazine, that the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, where Loughner is being held, pending a determination of his mental fitness to stand trial, is being administered psychotropic drugs in his Kool Aid.In addition to receiving drugs to fund its off-the-books operations, the CIA weapons smuggling program is designed to arm the two main Mexican cartels — Sinaloa and Los Zetas — in order to destabilize Mexico.

Israel stole weapon-grade uranium from US, report will show Daily Star | Report will show evidence Israel stole weapons-grade uranium from nuclear reprocessing plant in Pennsylvania. Kristin Dailey December 8, 2011 WASHINGTON: A U.S.-based research institute will soon publish what it says is “indisputable” evidence that Israel stole weapons-grade uranium for its still-undeclared atomic weapons program from a nuclear reprocessing plant in western Pennsylvania. The Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) will release this month a 300-page report detailing the initial findings of a multi-year research project investigating the disappearance of highly enriched uranium from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (Numec) in Apollo, Pennsylvania in the 1950s and 1960s. Grant Smith, the director of IRmep, told The Daily Star that the report would include a broad range of newly declassified and un-redacted government documents from various agencies – including the Department of Energy, Atomic Energy Commission, FBI and CIA – that prove that nuclear material was diverted from Numec to Israel. “The story at this point is that there is no one smoking gun; there are many smoking pistols lying all over the place that we’ve painstakingly collected,” Smith told The Daily Star.’

 

 

DHS Shut Down Blog For A Year On False Pretenses Paul Joseph Watson | Homeland Security is seizing websites for “copyright infringement” with no evidence. Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com December 9, 2011

In a chilling illustration of how far Internet censorship has advanced, the Department of Homeland Security seized a popular music blog and shut down the website for over a year on charges it now admits were completely false.

 The website in question – www.dajaz1.com – was not some obscure, dubious blog – it was a popular platform for DJ’s that was once featured on MTV.

“Around Thanksgiving 2010, the Department of Homeland Security seized more than 70 domains with no trial, accusing them of copyright infringement,” reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Dajaz1.com was caught in the dragnet after DHS claimed four songs  the website were used without permission, when in fact the musicians and publicists concerned had sent the tracks directly to Dajaz1 with express authorization.

That didn’t stop Homeland Security from seizing and shutting down the blog for over a year, violating the law by refusing to tell its owner why the website was taken and subsequently missing the 90 day deadline for explaining why the owner should forfeit the property permanently.

“Or at least that’s what the owner assumed when he heard nothing. Then the court told him that the government got an extension.”

“But the owner couldn’t see the extension because all the filings in the case were sealed, and was not allowed to testify in court to ask for his property back, says TechDirt.”

The saga finally came to a close when the owner was handed back control of the website only yesterday.

The lesson to take from this is that Homeland Security can now just claim your website contains copyrighted material with no evidence whatsoever and seize it without any recourse.

“This whole thing has been a disgrace by the US government, starting with a bogus seizure, improper and illegal censorship, followed by denial of due process and unnecessary secrecy,” reports TechDirt.

 The DHS has already seized dozens of websites merely for linking to copyrighted material, despite the fact that such material isn’t even hosted on the website itself, a process the Electronic Frontier Foundation has criticized as, “Blunt instruments that cause unacceptable collateral damage to free speech rights.”

The targeted website, now finally back in the hands of its rightful owner, has become a poster child for the anti-Internet censorship movement. The front page of the site urges readers to oppose the Protect IP Act, legislation that will give the government even more power to block websites by creating an official blacklist.

As we reported back in October, the bill that has attracted bi-partisan support in the House will force Internet Service Providers to create a list of banned websites and prevent their users from accessing the sites, creating a Chinese-style ‘ban list’ that could easily be abused to silence free speech. Lawmakers like Senator Joe Lieberman have teamed up with Department of Homeland Security officials to push draconian legislation in an effort to mimic the Communist Chinese system of policing the Internet.

“A service provider shall take technically feasible and reasonable measures designed to prevent access by its subscribers located within the United States to the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) that is subject to the order, including measures designed to prevent the domain name of the foreign infringing site (or portion thereof) from resolving to that domain name’s Internet Protocol address,” states the bill.

Given the fact that the U.S. government is now ordering You Tube to remove videos that contain “government criticism,” the potential for this legislation to be abused to silence political free speech is clear. Add to that the fact that Verisign, the global authority over all .com domain names, is demanding the power to terminate websites deemed “abusive” when ordered to by government without a court order or any kind of oversight whatsoever, and the threat to web freedom is clear.’

Putin harks back to Cold War 20 years on AFP | [ Come on! Don’t be ridiculous! If this was one isolated incident, well, maybe. But the fact is this is unmistakably global american policy; albeit primative and yes, hearkening back to the cold war years, and conflicts, so longed for by the military industrial complex (and yes, the cia is part of that war mongering, chaos loving/creating nefarious entity – for maintaining/increasing budgets/corporate welfare).]  Accusations by Vladimir Putin that the United States is funding poll monitors to spark protests in Russia mark a return to the rhetoric of the Cold War.

 

Iowa Poll: Only Ron Paul Can Beat Obama Steve Watson | Congressman proves he’s a “big cat” in the fight for GOP nomination. [ This is true! Why? Because ultimately the realization will set in that the other republican candidates are just more of the same, except that they’ll be inclined to give even more breaks to the 1% and military industrial complex (warned against by the great but substantially underrated President General Eisenhower) that got us to this forlorn point! ]

 

Donald Trump Dismisses Ron Paul as “Joke Candidate” Kurt Nimmo | Millions of Americans support Paul’s call for ending foreign aid. [ Yet it’s trump who is the big joke (which makes america look like a bigger joke)! He’s a caricature at best, and the joke that keeps on giving (SNL, etc.), and a government-protected mobster. ‘When they’re losing, they can afford to be principled’ says corrupt mobster trump regarding the snubbing of his ‘less than moderation’ of an upcoming debate in Iowa by the remaining principled GOP contenders. In reality, it’s actually ‘when you’re winning, you can afford to be principled’. But, in trump’s corrupt, sordid, sinkhole habitat, the former is indeed his truth. If you’re principled, you’re losing in trump’s rather surreal unreality. After all, pervasively corrupt and unprincipled america is indeed losing; and, big-time at that. That trump is a megalomaniac, a narcissist, and, yes … a loser, there is no question. Indeed, anyone who ‘wins’ unfairly (corruption, etc.) at others expense (ie., as does himself, the frauds on wall street, etc.) is a loser. Unfortunately, such modus operandi, including that which is criminal, has been accorded protection and respect in defacto bankrupt america, much like the ‘protected’ (bribes, etc.) common drug dealer (america, see infra), pimp, etc.. Then there’s the endearing (to a dumbed down american public) hype! That cloyingly cutesy ‘the donald’ routine is nauseating; but, that’s the natural, visible concomitant to a nation in ineluctable decline! On a positive note, megalomaniac trump will not be able to retread the path of his role model / idol Adolf Hitler as head of state. He’s really quite a joke when you think about it; and a mentally ill one at that; ask Steve Wynn, he’ll tell you, he’s already said it.

 

‘Pizza with palin’, ‘town hall of fame with Bachmann’, trump purports to be at least ‘alcohol free’ (the alleged cause – I don’t think so – of mobster trump’s elder brother’s suicide); but is he ‘med-free’? … there must be something to account for his madness (he’s a psychopath who used to play Hitler speeches for inspiration).

Trump to moderate GOP debate This won’t end well. (Washington Post) [ Goes without saying… of all people to choose … Why not Jerry Springer?… ‘Non-celebrity Apprentice’, the new reality show, as in who scratches whose back for favors down the road, as in quid pro quo, as in trump’s continued ‘graduation’ from commonly mob connected, to new york/new jersey politically sordid sinkholes, to now failed washingtonian … ‘establishment’?

"He decided the ship, and I found out two hours before my plane left, I was woken up in the morning and I was sent to the ship for 'two weeks.' "Paris was born into a Scientology family, but her mother quit the group after her husband committed suicide, blaming Scientology for coercing him out of a self-made personal fortune of more than a million dollars.Instead of the promised two week stay, Paris found herself unable to leave the ship without an official Scientology escort and was often forced into hard labor on the lower levels of the ship for stretches as long as two full days. "It's hot, it's extremely loud, it's smelly, it's not nice.

30 Signs That The United States Of America Is Being Turned Into A Giant Prison The American Dream | If you live in the United States of America, you live in a giant prison where liberty and freedom are slowly being strangled to death. The American Dream Tuesday, November 29, 2011 'If you live in the United States of America, you live in a giant prison where liberty and freedom are slowly being strangled to death.  In this country, the control freaks that run things are obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording virtually everything that we do.  Nothing is private anymore.  Everything that you do on the Internet is being monitored.  All of your phone calls are being monitored.  In fact, if law enforcement authorities suspect that you have done something wrong, they will use your cell phone microphone to listen to you even when you think your cell phone is turned off.  In many areas of the country, when you get into your car automated license plate readers track you wherever you go, and in many major cities when you are walking on the streets a vast network of security cameras and “smart street lights” are constantly watching you and listening to whatever you say.  The TSA is setting up “internal checkpoints” all over the nation, Homeland Security is encouraging all of us to report any “suspicious activity” that our neighbors are involved in and the federal government is rapidly developing “pre-crime” technology that will flag us as “potential terrorists” if we display any signs of nervousness.  If you are flagged as a “potential terrorist”, the U.S. military can arrest you and detain you for the rest of your life without ever having to charge you with anything.  Yes, the United States of America is rapidly being turned into a “Big Brother” prison grid, and most Americans are happily going along with it. The sad thing is that this used to be “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.So what in the world happened?A fundamental shift in our culture has taken place.  The American people have eagerly given up huge chunks of liberty and freedom in exchange for vague promises of increased security.Our country is now run by total control freaks and paranoia has become standard operating procedure.We were told that the terrorists hate our liberties and our freedoms, and that we needed to fight the terrorists so that we could keep our liberties and our freedoms.But instead, the government keeps taking away all of our liberties and our freedoms.How in the world does that make any sense?Have the terrorists won?As a country, we have moved so far in the direction of communist China, the USSR and Nazi Germany that it is almost impossible to believe.Yes, turning the United States of America into a giant prison may make us all slightly safer, but what kind of life is this?Do we want to be dead while we are still alive?Is this the price that we want to pay in order to feel slightly safer?Where are the millions of Americans that still yearn to breathe free air?America is supposed to be a land teeming with people thirsting for independence.  For example, “Live Free or Die” is supposedly the official motto of the state of New Hampshire.But instead, the motto of most Americans seems to be “live scared and die cowering”.We don’t have to live like this.Yes, bad things are always going to happen.  No amount of security is ever going to be able to keep us 100% safe.We need to remember that a very high price was paid for our liberty and we should not give it up so easily.As one very famous American once said, when we give up liberty for security we deserve neither.

The following are 30 signs that the United States of America is being turned into a giant prison….

#1 A new bill that is going through the U.S. Senate would allow the U.S. military to arrest American citizens and hold them indefinitely without trial.  This new law was recently discussed in an article  the website of the New American….

In what may be a tale too bizarre to be believed by millions of Americans, the U.S. Senate appears ready to pass a bill that will designate the entire earth, including the United States and its territories, one all-encompassing “battlefield” in the global “war on terror” and authorize the detention of Americans suspected of terrorist ties indefinitely and without trial or even charges being filed that would necessitate a trial.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham is a big supporter of the bill, and he says that it would “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield”.

According to the PPJ Gazette, the following are three things that this new law would do….

1)  Explicitly authorize the federal government to indefinitely imprison without charge or trial American citizens and others picked up inside and outside the United States;

(2)  Mandate military detention of some civilians who would otherwise be outside of military control, including civilians picked up within the United States itself; and

(3)  Transfer to the Department of Defense core prosecutorial, investigative, law enforcement, penal, and custodial authority and responsibility now held by the Department of Justice.

#2 U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman is asking Google to install a “terrorist button” on all Blogger.com blogs so that readers can easily flag “terrorist content” for authorities.

#3 Most Americans have no idea how sophisticated the “Big Brother” prison grid has become.  For example, in Washington D.C. the movements of every single car are tracked using automated license plate readers (ALPRs).  The following comes from a recent Washington Post article….

More than 250 cameras in the District and its suburbs scan license plates in real time, helping police pinpoint stolen cars and fleeing killers. But the program quietly has expanded beyond what anyone had imagined even a few years ago.

With virtually no public debate, police agencies have begun storing the information from the cameras, building databases that document the travels of millions of vehicles.

Nowhere is that more prevalent than in the District, which has more than one plate-reader per square mile, the highest concentration in the nation. Police in the Washington suburbs have dozens of them as well, and local agencies plan to add many more in coming months, creating a comprehensive dragnet that will include all the approaches into the District.

#4 In some American schools, RFID chips are now being used to monitor the attendance and movements of children while they are at school.  The following is how one article recently described a program that has just been instituted at a preschool in California….

Upon arriving in the morning, according to the Associated Press, each student at the CCC-George Miller preschool will don a jersey with a stitched in RFID chip. As the kids go about the business of learning, sensors in the school will record their movements, collecting attendance for both classes and meals. Officials from the school have claimed they’re only recording information they’re required to provide while receiving  federal funds for their Headstart program.

#5 Increasingly, incidents of misbehavior at many U.S. schools are being treated as very serious crimes.  For example, when a little girl kissed a little boy at one Florida elementary school recently, it was considered to be a “possible sex crime” and the police were called out.

#6 But what happened to one very young student in Stockton, California earlier this year was even worse….

Earlier this year, a Stockton student was handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer. That student was 5 years old.

#7 In the United States today, police are trained to respond to even the smallest crimes with extreme physical force.  For example, one grandfather in Arizona was recently filmed laying unconscious in a pool of his own blood after police rammed his head into the flood inside a Wal-Mart on Black Friday night.  It was thought that he was shoplifting, but it turns out that he says that he was just trying to tuck a video game away so other crazed shoppers would not grab it out of his hands.

#8 Did you know that the government actually sets up fake cell phone towers that can intercept your cell phone calls?  The following is how a recent Wired articledescribed these “stingrays”….

You make a call on your cellphone thinking the only thing standing between you and the recipient of your call is your carrier’s cellphone tower. In fact, that tower your phone is connecting to just might be a boobytrap set up by law enforcement to ensnare your phone signals and maybe even the content of your calls.

So-called stingrays are one of the new high-tech tools that authorities are using to track and identify you. The devices, about the size of a suitcase, spoof a legitimate cellphone tower in order to trick nearby cellphones and other wireless communication devices into connecting to the tower, as they would to a real cellphone tower.

The government maintains that the stingrays don’t violate Fourth Amendment rights, since Americans don’t have a legitimate expectation of privacy for data sent from their mobile phones and other wireless devices to a cell tower.

#9 U.S. border agents are allowed by law to search any laptop being brought into the United States without even needing any reason to do so.

#10 In the United States of America, everyone is a “potential terrorist”.  According to FBI Director Robert Mueller, “homegrown terrorists” represent as big a threat to American national security as al-Qaeda does.

#11 Most Americans are not that concerned about the Patriot Act, but that might change if they understood that the federal government has a “secret interpretation” of what the Patriot Act really means.  U.S. Senator Ron Wyden says that the U.S. government interprets the Patriot Act much more “broadly” than the general public does….

“We’re getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says.”

#12 The FBI is now admittedly recording Internet talk radio programs all over the United States.  The following comes from a recent article by Mark Weaver of WMAL.com….

If you call a radio talk show and get on the air, you might be recorded by the FBI.

The FBI has awarded a $524,927 contract to a Virginia company to record as much radio news and talk programming as it can find on the Internet.

The FBI says it is not playing big brother by policing the airwaves, but rather seeking access to what airs as potential evidence.

#13 The federal government has decided that what you and I share with one another on Facebook and on Twitter could be a threat to national security.  According to a recent Associated Press article, the Department of Homeland Security will soon be “gleaning information from sites such as Twitter and Facebook for law enforcement purposes”.

#14 What you say on your cell phone is never private.  The truth is that that the FBI can demand to see your cell phone data whenever it wants.  In addition, according to CNET News the FBI can remotely activate the microphone on your cell phone and listen to whatever you are saying….

The FBI appears to have begun using a novel form of electronic surveillance in criminal investigations: remotely activating a mobile phone’s microphone and using it to eavesdrop on nearby conversations.

The technique is called a “roving bug,” and was approved by top U.S. Department of Justice officials for use against members of a New York organized crime family who were wary of conventional surveillance techniques such as tailing a suspect or wiretapping him.

#15 In some areas of the country, law enforcement authorities are pulling data out of cell phones for no reason whatsoever.  According to the ACLU, state police in Michigan are now using “extraction devices” to download data from the cell phones of motorists that they pull over.  This is taking place even if the motorists that are pulled over are not accused of doing anything wrong.

The following is how a recent article on CNET News described the capabilities of these “extraction devices”….

The devices, sold by a company called Cellebrite, can download text messages, photos, video, and even GPS data from most brands of cell phones. The handheld machines have various interfaces to work with different models and can even bypass security passwords and access some information.

#16 The federal government has become so paranoid that they have been putting GPS tracking devices on the vehicles of thousands of people that have not even been charged with committing any crimes.  The following is a short excerpt from a recent Wired magazine article about this issue….

The 25-year-old resident of San Jose, California, says he found the first one about three weeks ago on his Volvo SUV while visiting his mother in Modesto, about 80 miles northeast of San Jose. After contacting Wired and allowing a photographer to snap pictures of the device, it was swapped out and replaced with a second tracking device. A witness also reported seeing a strange man looking beneath the vehicle of the young man’s girlfriend while her car was parked at work, suggesting that a tracking device may have been retrieved from her car.

Then things got really weird when police showed up during a Wired interview with the man.

The young man, who asked to be identified only as Greg, is one among an increasing number of U.S. citizens who are finding themselves tracked with the high-tech devices.

The Justice Department has said that law enforcement agents employ GPS as a crime-fighting tool with “great frequency,”and GPS retailers have told Wired that they’ve sold thousands of the devices to the feds.

#17 New high-tech street lights that are being funded by the federal government and that are being installed all over the nation can also be used as surveillance cameras, can be used by the DHS to make “security announcements” and can even be used to record personal conversations.  The following is from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson for Infowars.com….

Federally-funded high-tech street lights now being installed in American cities are not only set to aid the DHS in making “security announcements” and acting as talking surveillance cameras, they are also capable of “recording conversations,” bringing the potential privacy threat posed by ‘Intellistreets’ to a whole new level.

#18 If you choose to protest in the streets of America today, there is a good chance that you will be brutalized.  All over the United States law enforcement authorities have been spraying pepper spray directly into the faces of unarmed protesters in recent weeks.

#19 In many areas of the United States today, you will be arrested if you do not produce proper identification for the police.  In the old days, “your papers please” was a phrase that was used to use to mock the tyranny of Nazi Germany.  But now all of us are being required to be able to produce “our papers” for law enforcement authorities at any time.  For example, a 21-year-old college student named Samantha Zucker was recently arrested and put in a New York City jail for 36 hours just because she could not produce any identification for police.

#20 According to blogger Alexander Higgins, students in kindergarten and the 1st grade in the state of New Jersey are now required by law to participate “in monthly anti-terrorism drills”.  The following is an excerpt from a letter that he recently received from the school where his child attends….

Each month a school must conduct one fire drill and one security drill which may be a lockdown, bomb threat, evacuation, active shooter, or shelter-in place drill. All schools are now required by law to implement this procedure.

So who in the world ever decided that it would be a good idea for 1st grade students to endure “lockdown” and “active shooter” drills?

To get an idea of what these kinds of drills are like, just check out this video.

#21 With all of the other problems that we are having all over the nation, you would think that authorities would not be too concerned about little kids that are trying to sell cups of lemonade.  But sadly, over the past year police have been sent in to shut down lemonade stands run by children all over the United States.

#22 The federal government has decided to invest a significant amount of time, money and energy raiding organic farms.  The following example comes from Natural News….

It is the latest case of extreme government food tyranny, and one that is sure to have you reeling in anger and disgust. Health department officials recently conducted a raid of Quail Hollow Farm, an organic community supported agriculture (CSA) farm in southern Nevada, during its special “farm to fork” picnic dinner put on for guests — and the agent who arrived on the scene ordered that all the fresh, local produce and pasture-based meat that was intended for the meal be destroyed with bleach.

#23 It is an absolute disgrace that all of us (including grandmothers and young children) must either go through body scanners that reveal the intimate details of our naked bodies or endure “enhanced pat-downs” during which our genitals will be touched before we are allowed to get on an airplane.

It is also an absolute disgrace that the American people are putting up with this.

#24 Invasive TSA security techniques are not just for airports anymore.  Now, TSA “VIPR teams” are actively conducting random inspections at bus stations and on interstate highways all over the United States.  For example, the following comes from a local news report down in Tennessee….

You’re probably used to seeing TSA’s signature blue uniforms at the airport, but now agents are hitting the interstates to fight terrorism with Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR).

“Where is a terrorist more apt to be found? Not these days on an airplane more likely on the interstate,” said Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons.

Tuesday Tennessee was first to deploy VIPR simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state.

TSA “VIPR teams” now conduct approximately 8,000 “unannounced security screenings” a year at subway stations, bus terminals, ports and highway rest stops.

#25 More than a million hotel television sets all over America are now broadcasting propaganda messages from the Department of Homeland Security promoting the “See Something, Say Something” campaign.  In essence, the federal government wants all of us to become “informants” and to start spying on one another constantly.  The following comes from an article posted by USA Today….

Starting today, the welcome screens on 1.2 million hotel television sets in Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday Inn and other hotels in the USA will show a short public service announcement from DHS. The 15-second spot encourages viewers to be vigilant and call law enforcement if they witness something suspicious during their travels.

#26 Certain “types” of American citizens are being labeled as potential threats in official U.S. government documents.  An unclassified Department of Homeland Security report published a couple years ago entitled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment” claims that a belief in Bible prophecy “could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons.”  The report goes on to state that such people are potentially dangerous.

#27 Back on February 20, 2009, the State of Missouri issued a report entitled “MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement“.  That report warned that the following types of people may be potential terrorists….

*anti-abortion activists

*those that are against illegal immigration

*those that consider “the New World Order” to be a threat

*those that have a negative view of the United Nations

#28 As I have written about previously, a very disturbing document that Oath Keepers has obtained shows that the FBI is now instructing store owners to report many new forms of “suspicious activity” to them.  According to the document, “suspicious activity” now includes the following….

*paying with cash

*missing a hand or fingers

*”strange odors”

*making “extreme religious statements”

*”radical theology”

*purchasing weatherproofed ammunition or match containers

*purchasing meals ready to eat

*purchasing night vision devices, night flashlights or gas masks

Do any of those “signs of suspicious activity” apply to you?

#29 Soon you may get labeled as a “potential terrorist” if you are just feeling a little nervous.  A new “pre-crime” technology system that is currently being tested by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will soon be in use all over the nation.  It is called “Future Attribute Screening Technology” (FAST), and it is very frightening.  The following description of this new program comes from an articlein the London Telegraph….

Using cameras and sensors the “pre-crime” system measures and tracks changes in a person’s body movements, the pitch of their voice and the rhythm of their speech.

It also monitors breathing patterns, eye movements, blink rate and alterations in body heat, which are used to assess an individual’s likelihood to commit a crime.

The Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) programme is already being tested on a group of government employees who volunteered to act as guinea pigs.

#30 The truth is that nobody puts more people into prison than America does.  The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world and the largest total prison population on the entire globe.

To read about some of the crazy things that the control freaks running things have planned for the future, just check out this article by Natural News: “10 outlandish things the ‘scientific’ controllers have in mind for you in the near future“.

Once again, despite all of this outrageous “security”, it is inevitable that a lot of really bad things are going to happen in the United States in the years ahead.

When there are incidents of violence, it is also inevitable that there will be calls for even more “Big Brother” security measures.

We are going to be caught in a never ending spiral of tyranny where the “solution” is always even tighter security.

Eventually, we will have lost all of our liberties and freedoms, and we will probably be even less safe than we are today.

Do not be deceived.  We could put a soldier on every corner, a video camera in every room of every home and an RFID chip in every citizen but that would not make us “safe”.

Every single lawmaker that is backing these laws which strip our liberties and freedoms away deserves to be voted out of office.

If you love the United States of America, please stand up and say something while you still can.

Please use this article and other articles like it as tools.  Share them with your friends and your family.  If we can get enough people to wake up, perhaps there is still enough time to turn the direction of this country around.

Will the final chapters of the history of the United States of America be mentioned in the same breath as communist China, the USSR and Nazi Germany, or will the final chapters of the history of the United States of America be the greatest chapters of all?

The choice, America, is up to you.’

Penn State Scandal: Mother of Sandusky's Adopted Son Speaks Out    By KEVIN DOLAK | Good Morning America http://gma.yahoo.com/penn-state-scandal-mother-sanduskys-adopted-son-speaks-091457912.html

 

 

The birth mother of Jerry Sandusky's youngest adopted child has come forward saying she believes the former Penn State coach led her son on a path of self-destruction and that she contacted authorities years ago about her son's safety.

Debra Long told ABC News in an exclusive interview that sharing her now 33-year-old son Matt with Sandusky had been a nightmare after the coach became the boy's guardian via foster care in 1995. Long says that she watched as her child became enamored with the local hero and then increasingly frightened by Sandusky's behavior.

"It was Jerry Sandusky, you know? Any 10-year-old kid is gonna be impressed by Penn State football," Long said. "And then it was the gifts. You know, money and clothing and whatever … It was as if Jerry owned Matthew."

Sandusky entered the lives of the Longs as a mentor when Matt was 10 years old, via The Second Mile charity for at-risk youth, which the former Penn State defensive coordinator founded. When Matt was placed in juvenile hall after he set fire to a barn in 1995, he soon entered the Sandusky home as a foster child. He was adopted by Sandusky as an adult at age 18.

Matt Sandusky, now 33, is not named as one of the 10 victims in the grand jury presentment outlining the charges against the coach. He insists he was not abused by his foster father.

But Debra Long says that the once-welcome Sandusky soon became a source of fear for her son, as he would take the boy out of school when he was 15 years old, unbeknownst to her.

"My son was afraid of Jerry. If Jerry said don't talk, he didn't talk. I would sit back and watch when Jerry would show up, how excited Matt was," she said. "And then, as time went on, I would watch the same kid hide behind the bedroom door and say, 'Mom, tell him I'm not home.'"

Long believes that exposure to Sandusky was what made her once-quiet son lash out, and eventually fall into the coach's hands.

"It wasn't until Jerry came into the picture that Matt started acting out in school. Matt ended up burning down a barn with another youth, you know -- it wasn't until Jerry came into the picture … that mentor turned him from the quiet, good kid into -- what Jerry could use to take him."

Four months after moving into the Sandusky's home Matt attempted suicide, along with another girl who was staying in the house, according to a report in the Patriot-News. After the suicide attempt, Terry L. Trude, a school-based probation officer, wrote a letter to a local judge asking that Matt's care at the Sandusky home be reviewed.

"The probation department has some serious concerns about the juvenile's safety and his current progress in placement with the Sandusky family," Trude wrote.

The adoption file for Matt Sandusky contains letters from Long to officials and a Centre County judge expressing concern for her son, who she was allowed to visit only one-half day per month while he was in Sandusky's care.

Matt Sandusky – who is one of five boys adopted by Sandusky and his wife -- still supports Jerry after he was arrested on charges of 40 counts of sexual assault with 10 minor boys over 15 years. Matt even brought his children to visit Sandusky after his Nov. 5 arrest.

But the mother of Matt's kids immediately went to court to obtain an order preventing Sandusky from being alone with her children. By court order Sandusky is now not allowed unsupervised contact or overnight visits with his grandchildren.

Alleged Victims Ready for Court

In the aftermath of Jerry Sandusky's unexpected interview on "Rock Center" with Bob Costas on Monday night, a number of witnesses are now ready and willing to testify in court that they were sexually assaulted by the coach.

A second boy has said that he is now ready to testify in court, according to Harrisburg attorney Ben Andreozzi, who is representing the boy. According to Andreozzi , the alleged victim called him after Sandusky gave the controversial interview on Monday.

"He has decided to dig in his heels. He's not going anywhere. He fully intends to testify," Andreozzi said.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Andreozzi said Sandusky "elected to re-victimize these young men at a time when they should be healing," and said his client was "disappointed" by Sandusky's comments.

"I think he would like Mr. Sandusky to assume responsibility for the horrible acts he committed on him," Andreozzi said.

Another boy known to be planning to testify is one known as "Victim 1" in the indictment; he is the boy who first came forward to authorities to allege abuse at the hands of Sandusky. The boy has already told his story to the grand jury and is anxious to tell it again in open court, according to his mother.

"He wants him to go to jail, and he wants him to pay for what he's done, and he doesn't want him on the streets where he can hurt somebody else," the unnamed boy's mother told ABC News.

Meanwhile, The Patriot-News reports that hearing Sandusky's interview broadcast on national television Monday has triggered more of the coach's alleged victims to come forward.

"They're literally processing it right in front of us," attorney Andy Shubin told the Patriot-News. "They have kept it from their families, moms, brothers and sisters ... The folks we talked to are largely folks in their 20s, who in a lot of cases have never told their story before."

Shubin has reportedly teamed up with Andreozzi, and along with a team of psychologists and social workers they plan to aid the alleged victims by providing seeking mental help and possible legal recourse. ‘

10 Reasons America Will Be Judged as the Most Brutal Empire in History  Activist Post | Good and evil doesn’t have a grey zone. Activist Post November 7, 2011

Good and evil doesn’t have a grey zone.  Killing and stealing is bad.  Violence is never “good” or necessary unless it is used to defend against killers and thieves. Indeed, that is the morality behind the “just war” principle as defined by international laws and treaties.

Yet, this simple concept of right and wrong gets muddled by differing ideas about religion, patriotism, economics and many other divisions.  The “just war” rule has crumbled under the ambitions of empires throughout history.  The American-led Anglo Saxon empire is no different.

This empire has been brutally conquering and colonizing territory since the fall of Rome.  However, it has only gained an American face in the last century.  The United States quickly emerged as the world’s “superpower” primarily through its economic might.  For some time, many believed the U.S. to be a shining example of economic freedom for other nations to emulate.  Indeed, America was eager to promote “economic freedom” globally to open new markets for U.S.-based corporations.

When foreign leaders refused to allow these corporate interests into their country, those leaders were replaced through a variety of covert actions.  The form of government that would be installed did not matter to the empire makers so long as the corporate interests were served.  In most cases these nations simply surrendered to the seemingly unlimited power of the almighty dollar, thus camouflaging the traditional method of forceful empire building.

However, some nations, especially in the last two decades, remained stubborn and have refused to alter their banking systems while also shunning Western companies.  Despite the empire’s best efforts to diplomatically bribe or sanction them into submission, they ultimately required an iron military fist to force their compliance.  Until recently, military action remained the last resort.  But now, preemptive military action seems to have become the preferred, and perhaps necessary, method to conquer the last resource-rich nations out of their grasp.

The empire’s populations cheered this strategy out of fear of being attacked by these rogue nations who never attacked or even threatened to attack them.  In the fog of fear, killing and stealing became acceptable. In fact, detention without charges and even torture became acceptable in the former capital of freedom. America has determined that the means justifies the end — which is more power.

As with all empires, these “means” have become increasingly violent and destructive in the face of resistance.  Yet, only a few more dominoes are left to knock over for America to complete a plan set in motion well before they were one of the colonies.  That is unless, of course, other world powers break ranks and attempt to stop the conquerors, which could lead to a large scale conflict.

Regardless, when the dust settles and moral history is written, America and her Western cohorts will likely be viewed as the most brutal empire in history.  Here are ten reasons why this is already the case:

 

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ziW0uRVXDeM/Trdbyofg0wI/AAAAAAAAMO4/aHNh5p76jQE/s200/rumsfeld+saddam.jpg


#1. Support of Dictators: For all the happy talk of spreading Democracy and protecting human rights, the empire has repeatedly not only supported dictators, but in many cases overthrew popularly elected leaders and replaced them with puppet tyrants.  Examples range from secretly funding the Nazis, to installing the Shah in Iran, Pinochet in Chile, supporting Musharraf in Pakistan, and their everlasting love affair with the brutal Saudi royal family, to name a few.  Actions speak louder than words to those who can navigate the storm of propaganda with a moral compass set to recognize good from evil.  Dictators and freedom cannot coexist.


#2. Preemptive Wars of Aggression: It could be said that all wars are preemptive in nature because so many entities benefit from war.  Yet, even before America’s latest crusades, they covertly and surgically attacked countries that never threatened them.  This allowed them to maintain the moral high road in the public’s eye while constructing the foundation of their empire.  That was until the Bush Doctrine; the use of preemptive military action to confront possible threats was unofficially adopted to be the new foreign policy for combating terror.  Since then, America has become the violent aggressors, having officially invaded two countries — Afghanistan and Iraq — without legitimate provocation.  Violent aggressors have always been judged by history as evil. But it gets worse….

 

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DFk3UwXUOkQ/TrdS5oSk70I/AAAAAAAAMOA/mQqATzs4Zrs/s1600/dees+waterboarding+bush.jpg

 

#3. Torture: Torture has never been acceptable by those promoting a high moral standing in the global community.  Nazis and Japanese soldiers were convicted and executed for engaging in the exact same torture techniques that America has redefined as ‘enhanced interrogation’.  “I was just following orders,” was not a justifiable excuse for such inhumane behavior, much like it wasn’t a good enough defense for the low-ranking patsies who took the heat for the sinister Abu Ghraib torture scandal even though their actions were approved at the highest levels.  Can state-sanctioned torture of prisoners held without charges ever be viewed as anything less than brutal?

 

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KxpFlJBhceI/TrdWSTR6itI/AAAAAAAAMOQ/OEHWeOqQW0g/s200/dees+activists.jpg

 

#4. Suppression of Dissent: All tyrannical regimes throughout history have suppressed homeland dissent.  As government oppression grows bolder at home and abroad, more citizens will naturally express outrage, resulting in even more oppressive controls.  This is happening in the United States through the all-seeing eye of the Department of Homeland Security with warrantless spying, arbitrary watch lists, citizen spy campaigns, and TSA molestation to travel anywhere.  Additionally, in an attempt to squash free speech, they arbitrarily seize websites and violently confront peaceful protesters.  Unfortunately, as awareness of the topics in this very article expands, the U.S. will likely become even bolder in their pursuit of stifling dissent.  In other words, the worst is yet to come, and history will judge the U.S. as not quite the beacon of freedom they have pretended to be.

 

#5. Elimination of Habeas Corpus: Say goodbye to the notion of being innocent until proven guilty, the right to face charges and your accuser, and the right to a free and fair trial.  Habeas corpus, considered the only humane path to “which a prisoner can be released from unlawful detention,” has been eliminated for those vaguely labeled ‘enemy combatants’ of the empire.  As Guantanamo prisoners rot under such pretenses, prominent lawmakers in the empire propose the exact same lack of rights for American citizens if they’re labeled an ‘enemy belligerent‘.  Similar to the Spanish Inquisition, now you’re guilty until you’re tortured to admit your guilt.  Can it get more evil? Why yes, it can. Read on.

#6. Assassinating Citizens: That’s right.  No judge, no jury, no conviction; just straight to execution. America has set another precedent in their tyrannical march toward empire when they openly assassinated an American citizen and government patsy, Anwar al-Awlaki, and his teenage son on the suspicion of terrorism.  Paul Craig Roberts laments “Now the US government not only can seize a US citizen and confine him in prison for the rest of his life without ever presenting evidence and obtaining a conviction, but also can have him shot down in the street or blown up by a drone.”  Isn’t this the reason America claims to be knocking off dictators around the world — the deliberate killing of their own citizens?

But Awlaki was a bad apple because the intelligence community said so. What’s most telling that America will continue this wickedness is that almost every US lawmaker turned a blind eye to the grotesque violation of Constitutional rights. Only Ron Paul said that assassinating an American citizen without charges is nothing less than an “impeachable offense”.  Too bad most of the country cheered the Awlaki killing as a “victory” in the war on terror, indicating that it is now an acceptable tactic.  Americans beware: you may be moved from a secret watch list to a secret kill list in this brutal empire.

#7. Unauthorized Drone Wars: Unprovoked wars without authorization, accountability, or independent oversight only seem to be escalating; and with little resistance. The US Congress no longer votes to “declare war”.  They simply give the Commander in Chief broad “authorization” to use force against specific nations. However, even that is not broad enough in the rapid pursuit of empire.  Now, joystick warriors directed by the CIA and Pentagon have targeted at least three countries with “unauthorized” military strikes; Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.  Even worse, they waged a full-scale war for regime change and resource plundering in Libya without any authority inside the United States.  Under the NATO flag, which is 75% funded by the U.S., they flew over 9200 strike sorties in Libya to illegally topple Gaddafi.  Drunk with success, the bloodthirsty empire marches on to their next preemptive targets, Syria and Iran.  Quick morality check: unprovoked killing and stealing as a first resort is still wrong, right?

 

#8. Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction: How ironic that the world’s policeman for weapons of mass destruction is the only one to use them on a mass scale.  The United States is on record using chemical, biological and even nuclear weapons.  From the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII, to Monsanto’s Agent Orange in Vietnam, to the depleted uranium used in Afghanistan and Iraq, America only condemns itself when speaking about the evils of WMDs. However, killers don’t appear to care how the killing is accomplished, so long as it achieves their goals.  The real firecrackers will likely be brought out in a confrontation with Iran, or if China and Russia are lured into the conflict.  It won’t really matter much what history says if the use of WMD escalates by either side, but the aggressors should rightly be blamed for the ensuing scorched earth, while the defenders against killers and thieves should be viewed as righteous.

 

#9. World’s Largest Drug Dealer: The American empire is the largest drug dealer in the world?  Say it isn’t so. Well, in addition to forcing legal drugs and genetically modified organisms on nations, usually under the cover of foreign aid, America also leads in the illegal drug trade.  In fact, many researchers reveal that the war on drugs is only utilized to control and monopolize the illicit drug trade.  The US government has been caught multiple times shipping in cocainecolluding with certain cartels to control the industry, and now openly protects and transports opium from Afghanistan.  In fact, Global Research points out that in 2001, “according to UN figures, opium production had fallen to 185 tons. Immediately following the October 2001 US led invasion, production increased dramatically, regaining its historical levels.”  This month, the U.N. announced that Afghanistan now provides 93% of the world’s opium production; up 61% compared to 2010 to a whopping 5800 tonnes.  Although the empire tries to keep it secret, they can’t hide the hypocrisy forever.

 

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uY_ZP5f24y8/TrdZ3Bs9HhI/AAAAAAAAMOo/FgB0_Ri48LU/s1600/pyramid.jpg

 

#10. World Reserve Currency Prison: Although using Weapons of Mass Debt is a non-violent form of expanding the empire, it’s perhaps the most brutal and effective form of control.  Requiring foreign nations to purchase oil and other imported commodities with US dollars wields immense power.  Because all nations must acquire dollars to purchase critical resources, they quickly become indebted to the US Federal Reserve, their affiliate central banks, and the IMF.  Before long, the entire world is colonized by debt.  It seems that only the nations that don’t need or refuse credit from Western banking institutions are the ones in danger of facing the wrath of the imperial war machine. Incidentally, most oil-rich nations in the Middle East have outlawed usury (lending money with interest), making them impossible to conquer diplomatically through debt.  Controlling the world reserve currency means controlling the tap of life itself, which is a dangerous weapon in the hands of an aggressive empire.  Debt is the ultimate WMD the empire uses to enslave the world, which leaves dissidents with two clear choices: slavery or death.

Although this empire is infinitely more powerful than Rome was, it will suffer the same fate.  For every negative action the empire commits, there’s an equal and opposite good reaction. And the goodness of humanity will always defeat tyranny when it goes too far.  However, an empire with so much to lose will go down swinging and slinging every weapon in its arsenal, thus putting the final stamp on their status as most brutal empire in history.’

 

 

 

 

Extreme Poverty Is Now At Record Levels – 19 Statistics About The Poor That Will Absolutely Astound You  According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty than they have ever measured before.  The Economic Collapse November 5, 2011

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a higher percentage of Americans is living in extreme poverty than they have ever measured before.  In 2010, we were told that the economy was recovering, but the truth is that the number of the “very poor” soared to heights never seen previously.  Back in 1993 and back in 2009, the rate of extreme poverty was just over 6 percent, and that represented the worst numbers on record.  But in 2010, the rate of extreme poverty hit a whopping 6.7 percent.  That means that one out of every 15 Americans is now considered to be “very poor”.  For many people, this is all very confusing because their guts are telling them that things are getting worse and yet the mainstream media keeps telling them that everything is just fine.  Hopefully this article will help people realize that the plight of the poorest of the poor continues to deteriorate all across the United States.  In addition, hopefully this article will inspire many of you to lend a hand to those that are truly in need.

Tonight, there are more than 20 million Americans that are living in extreme poverty.  This number increases a little bit more every single day.  The following statistics that were mentioned in an article in The Daily Mail should be very sobering for all of us….

About 20.5 million Americans, or 6.7 percent of the U.S. population, make up the poorest poor, defined as those at 50 per cent or less of the official poverty level.

Those living in deep poverty represent nearly half of the 46.2 million people scraping by below the poverty line. In 2010, the poorest poor meant an income of $5,570 or less for an individual and $11,157 for a family of four.

That 6.7 percent share is the highest in the 35 years that the Census Bureau has maintained such records, surpassing previous highs in 2009 and 1993 of just over 6 percent.

Sadly, the wealthy and the poor are being increasingly segregated all over the nation.  In some areas of the U.S. you would never even know that the economy was having trouble, and other areas resemble third world hellholes.  In most U.S. cities today, there are the “good neighborhoods” and there are the “bad neighborhoods”.

According to a recent Bloomberg article, the “very poor” are increasingly being pushed into these “bad neighborhoods”….

At least 2.2 million more Americans, a 33 percent jump since 2000, live in neighborhoods where the poverty rate is 40 percent or higher, according to a study released today by the Washington-based Brookings Institution.

Of course they don’t have much of a choice.  They can’t afford to live where most of the rest of us do.

Today, there are many Americans that openly look down on the poor, but that should never be the case.  We should love the poor and want to see them lifted up to a better place.  The truth is that with a few bad breaks any of us could end up in the ranks of the poor.  Compassion is a virtue that all of us should seek to develop.

Not only that, but the less poor people and the less unemployed people we have, the better it is for our economy.  When as many people as possible in a nation are working and doing something economically productive, that maximizes the level of true wealth that a nation is creating.

But today we are losing out on a massive amount of wealth.  We have tens of millions of people that are sitting at home on their couches.  Instead of creating something of economic value, the rest of us have to support them financially.  That is not what any of us should want.

It is absolutely imperative that we get as many Americans back to work as possible.  The more people that are doing something economically productive, the more wealth there will be for all of us.

That is why it is so alarming that the ranks of the “very poor” are increasing so dramatically.  When the number of poor people goes up, the entire society suffers.

So just how bad are things right now?

The following are 19 statistics about the poor that will absolutely astound you….

#1 According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of “very poor” rose in 300 out of the 360 largest metropolitan areas during 2010.

#2 Last year, 2.6 million more Americans descended into poverty.  That was the largest increase that we have seen since the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.

#3 It isn’t just the ranks of the “very poor” that are rising.  The number of those just considered to be “poor” is rapidly increasing as well.  Back in the year 2000, 11.3% of all Americans were living in poverty.  Today, 15.1% of all Americans are living in poverty.

#4 The poverty rate for children living in the United States increased to 22% in 2010.

#5 There are 314 counties in the United States where at least 30% of the children are facing food insecurity.

#6 In Washington D.C., the “child food insecurity rate” is 32.3%.

#7 More than 20 million U.S. children rely on school meal programs to keep from going hungry.

#8 One out of every six elderly Americans now lives below the federal poverty line.

#9 Today, there are over 45 million Americans on food stamps.

#10 According to the Wall Street Journal, nearly 15 percent of all Americans are now on food stamps.

#11 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps.

#12 The number of Americans on food stamps has increased 74% since 2007.

#13 We are told that the economy is recovering, but the number of Americans on food stamps has grown by another 8 percent over the past year.

#14 Right now, one out of every four American children is on food stamps.

#15 It is being projected that approximately 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives before they reach the age of 18.

#16 More than 50 million Americans are now on Medicaid.  Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid.  Today, approximately one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid.

#17 One out of every six Americans is now enrolled in at least onegovernment anti-poverty program.

#18 The number of Americans that are going to food pantries and soup kitchens has increased by 46% since 2006.

#19 It is estimated that up to half a million children may currently be homeless in the United States.

Sadly, we don’t hear much about this on the nightly news, do we?

This is because the mainstream media is very tightly controlled.

I came across a beautiful illustration of this recently.  If you do not believe that the news in America is scripted, just watch this video starting at the 1:15 mark.  Conan O’Brien does a beautiful job of demonstrating how news anchors all over the United States are often repeating the exact same words.

So don’t rely on the mainstream media to tell you everything.

In this day and age, it is absolutely imperative that we all think for ourselves.

It is also absolutely imperative that we have compassion on our brothers and sisters.

Winter is coming up, and if you see someone that does not have a coat, don’t be afraid to offer to give them one.

All over the United States (and all around the world), there are orphans that are desperately hurting.  As you celebrate the good things that you have during this time of the year, don’t forget to remember them.

We should not expect that “the government” will take care of everyone that is hurting.

The reality is that millions of people fall through the “safety net”.

Being generous and being compassionate are qualities that all of us should have.

Yes, times are going to get harder and an economic collapse is coming.

That just means that we should be more generous and more compassionate than we have ever been before.’

 

 

Lindsay Lohan gets 30-day jail sentence  http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-207_162-20129112/lindsay-lohan-gets-30-day-jail-sentence [ Boy oh boy … Talk about ‘going after the low hanging fruit’ … If only they were as diligent in going after the serious, real including very violent, criminals plaguing america generally and california particularly. After all, they are letting serious criminal felons out of jail. I do not think anyone could possibly say that Lohan is a serious threat to anyone. I’m glad that she got the ‘Playboy gig’ (I’ve always found Playboy to be a tasteful exposé of artistically beautiful vistas). Though glad to see this unreasonably and unrelentingly tortured (to the point tantamount to overreaching persecution / prosecution), talented girl get work in film, I must honestly say I’m less than enthusiastic that it’s for some new york (fiore/gotti), new jersey (mental case scientologist – scientology is total b***s***- john ‘tony manero’ travolta) guineas who likely will be inclined to glorify that which couldn’t possibly be glorified (Francis Ford Coppola openly expressed his own misgivings concerning same, initially refusing his ‘big break’ debut) and as well his antipathy for the mob; but, I also must say his films gave rise to the career of the great actor, Al Pacino –his lesser known underrated roles in ‘Panic in Needle Park’, ‘Scarecrow’, and especially the terrific film relatively few people saw, ‘Simone’, etc., along with Shakespearian theater, which ultimately justified the exception by creating ‘some good from bad’. I’d be lying if I said, ie., Godfather 1,2,3 were anything but masterfully done).

Indeed, my own sampling, though hardly random to be candid, is 5 for 5 (new jersey, new york, connecticut, virginia, california) pervasively and egregiously corrupt to the point where these costly, corrupt bureaucracies should be abolished and supplanted with alternatives as I’ve previously set forth in prior comments.   /  Though Assange’s arrest was on far more tenuous grounds owing to a CIA-linked girl, Roman Polanski was similarly targeted:BBC News - Roman Polanski triumphs at European Film Awards Dec 5, 2010 ...

Sheriff: Fast and Furious Bigger Scandal Than Watergate   http://www.prisonplanet.com/sheriff-fast-and-furious-bigger-scandal-than-watergate.html   Paul Joseph Watson | Over two dozen Republicans call for Holder to resign. Though heavily redacted, the documents directly discuss “Operation Fast and Furious” and how it involves “trafficking firearms to Mexico”. Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu joined over two dozen Republican lawmakers in calling on Attorney General Eric Holder’s to resign over Operation Fast and Furious, the gunrunning program that saw the ATF deliver some 2,000 guns directly into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, labeling the scandal worse than the Watergate cover-up that brought down the Nixon White House.

Noting that two of the guns involved in the program were found at the scene where U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was shot to death, Babeu warned that if Holder attempted to stay in power, he could bring down the entire Obama administration.

“I thought it was a telling sign when President Obama embraced him and gave him the Al Capone hug and the Scarface whisper in the ear that I support you. He did this publicly. I thought, `Wow, this is his last hours here, that he’s on his way out,” Babeu told KTAR News.

Holder is set to testify once more on the subject in front of a Democratic-led Senate committee on November 8.

By no means for the first time, if Eric Holder repeats his dubious contention that Fast and Furious only came to his attention when it became public knowledge, he will be knowingly committing perjury.

The head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, Lanny A. Breuer, Holder’s subordinate who first learned of Fast and Furious in April 2010, sent Holder briefings concerning Fast and Furious in July 2010, almost a year before Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, “I’m not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.”

Holder also received the same briefing from the head of the National Drug Intelligence Center, internal DOJ documents obtained by CBS News show.

“Internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious,” states the report.

The CBS News journalist behind the scoop, Sharyl Attkisson, was subjected to verbal abuse by the White House merely for asking questions about the controversy, and was warned not to pursue the story.

In addition, Holder himself gave testimony to Congress in May 2009 in which he spoke of efforts on behalf of the DOJ and the DHS to track weapons going from the U.S. into Mexico under Project Gunrunner, which was the umbrella program for subsequent operations like Fast and Furious.

It now appears as though Breuer is attempting to throw himself under the bus in an attempt to take the heat off his boss and be the fall guy for Fast and Furious.

Over two dozen Republican lawmakers have called for Holder to resign over his stonewalling on Fast and Furious, which is the subject of a congressional probe.

As we highlighted last week, Holder is not alone in his willingness to risk charges of perjury by lying in front of elected representatives.

Despite telling a House Judiciary Committee that she only learned of operation Fast and Furious in December last year when the controversy went public, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano actually helped launch the previous incarnation of the program, Project Gunrunner, at a White House press conference in March 2009.

“Napolitano, at one point likening the questioning to a cross-examination, said repeatedly she only learned of “Fast and Furious” after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December,” reported Fox News. “She emphasized the operation, conceived and run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, “was an ATF operation,” under the auspices of the Justice Department, not her department.”

However, as the video below illustrates, not only was Napolitano aware of the ATF program to put guns into the hands of Mexican drug lords, she actually helped launch the previous incarnation of it, Project Gunrunner, at a White House press conference alongside Deputy Attorney General David Ogden in March 2009.’

BOOK WARNS OF END... BOOK WARNS OF END
Fri Oct 14 2011 07:00:25 ET

**Exclusive**

"As the faith that gave birth to the West is dying in the West, peoples of European descent from the steppes of Russia to the coast of California have begun to die out, as the Third World treks north to claim the estate. The last decade provided corroborating if not conclusive proof that we are in the Indian Summer of our civilization."

So begins Pat Buchanan in his hardcore work, SUICIDE OF A SUPERPOWER.

"Will America Survive to 2025?"

Buchanan, set for maximum controversy, launches all rockets at introduction "Disintegrating Nation" -- and does not let up for 400-plus pages.

"America is disintegrating. The centrifugal forces pulling us apart are growing inexorably. What unites us is dissolving. And this is true of Western Civilization....Meanwhile, the state is failing in its most fundamental duties. It is no longer able to defend our borders, balance our budgets, or win our wars."

The books reads as if its been written to be left behind in the ruins, only to be found by a future civilization.

SUICIDE ranked #2,668 on AMAZON's hit parade early Friday. It streets on Tuesday.

Now only the DRUDGE REPORT can offer a look inside.



Chapter 1: The Passing of a Superpower

“We have accepted today the existence in perpetuity of a permanent underclass of scores of millions who cannot cope and must be carried by society -- fed, clothed, housed, tutored, medicated at taxpayer’s expense their entire lives. We have a dependent nation the size of Spain in our independent America. We have a new division in our country, those who pay a double or triple fare, and those who ride forever free.”

Chapter 2. The End of Christian America

If [Christopher] Dawson is correct, the drive to de-Christianize America, to purge Christianity from the public square, public schools and public life, will prove culturally and socially suicidal for the nation.

“The last consequence of a dying Christianity is a dying people. Not one post-Christian nation has a birth rate sufficient to keep it alive....The death of European Christianity means the disappearance of the European tribe, a prospect visible in the demographic statistics of every Western nation.”

Chapter 3. The Crisis of Catholicism

“Half a century on, the disaster is manifest. The robust and confident Church of 1958 no longer exists. Catholic colleges and universities remain Catholic in name only. Parochial schools and high schools are closing as rapidly as they opened in the 1950s. The numbers of nuns, priests and seminarians have fallen dramatically. Mass attendance is a third of what it was. From the former Speaker of the House to the Vice President, Catholic politicians openly support abortion on demand.”

“How can Notre Dame credibly teach that all innocent life is sacred, and then honor a president committed to ensuring that a woman’s right to end the life of her innocent child remains sacrosanct?”

Chapter 4. The End of White America

“[W]hite America is an endangered species. By 2020, whites over 65 will out-number those 17 and under. Deaths will exceed births. The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear.”

“Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being over-turned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution -- to “insure domestic tranquility” and ‘make us a more perfect union’? Or have we imperiled our union?” (Page 134)

Chapter 5. Demographic Winter

“Peoples of European descent are not only in a relative but a real decline. They are aging, dying, disappearing. This is the existential crisis of the West.” (Page 166)

“Not any Iranian weapon of mass destruction but demography is the existential crisis Israel faces....By mid-century...Palestinians west of the Jordan river will out-number Jews 2-1. Add Palestinians in Jordan, it is 3-1.”

“In a startling development of history, Russia’s population has fallen from 148 million in 1991 to 140 million today and is projected to plunge to 116 million by 2050, a loss of 32 million Russians in six decades.”

Chapter 6. Equality Vs. Freedom

“Those who would change society begin by changing the meaning of words. At Howard University, LBJ changed the meaning of equality from the attainable -- an end to segregation and a legislated equality of rights for African-Americans -- to the impossible: a socialist utopia.”

“Where equality is enthroned, freedom is extinguished. The rise of the egalitarian society means the death of the free society.”

“A time for truth. As most kids do not have the athletic ability to play high school sports, or the musical ability to play in the band, or the verbal ability to excel in debate, not every child has the academic ability to do high school work. No two children are created equal, not even identical twins. The family is the incubator of inequality and God its author.”

Chapter 7. The Diversity Cult

“The non-Europeanization of America is heartening news of an almost transcendental quality,” Wattenberg trilled.4 Yet, one wonders: What kind of man looks with transcendental joy to a day when the people among whom he was raised have become a minority in a nation where the majority rules?”

“Historians will look back in stupor at 20th and 21st century Americans who believed the magnificent republic they inherited would be enriched by bringing in scores of millions from the failed states of the Third World.”

Chapter 8: The Triumph Of Tribalism

America’s war of revenge against Japan was a race war. Newsreels, movies, magazines, comic books, headlines treated “Japs” as a repulsive race whose extermination would benefit mankind....Only well after the war was over was it re-branded a war to bring the blessings of democracy to...Japan.

We may deny the existence of ethnonationalism, detest it, condemn it. But this creator and destroyer of empires and nations is a force infinitely more powerful than globalism, for it engages the heart. Men will die for it. Religion, race, culture and tribe are the four horsemen of the coming apocalypse.

Chapter 9. ‘The White Party’

“Through its support of mass immigration, its paralysis in power to prevent 12-20 million illegal aliens from entering and staying, its failure to address the “anchor-baby” issue, the Republican Party has birthed a new electorate that will send it the way of the Whigs.”

Chapter 10: The Long Retreat

“We borrow from Europe to defend Europe. We borrow from the Gulf states to defend the Gulf states. We borrow from Japan to defend Japan. Is it not a symptom of senility to be borrowing from the world so we can defend the world?”

“Are vital U.S. interests more imperiled by what happens in Iraq where were have 50,000 troops, or Afghanistan where we have 100,000, or South Korea where we have 28,000 -- or by what is happening on our border with Mexico?...What does it profit America if we save Anbar and lose Arizona?”

Chapter 11: The Last Chance

“We are trying to create a nation that has never before existed, of all the races, tribes, cultures and creeds of Earth, where all are equal. In this utopian drive for the perfect society of our dreams we are killing the real country we inherited..’

SHRINK: Obama suffers from 'father hunger'...The abandonment by his father when he was an infant and by his stepfather at age 10 has left President Obama with a "father hunger" that influences everything from why he distances himself from pushy supporters, to his strong desire to compromise and bring people together, to his aggressive campaign to kill Osama bin Laden, says a psychoanalytic book out next week. In Obama on the Couch, George Washington University professor Justin Frank also reveals that Obama has spent much of his life seeking out father figures, but most, like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Vice President Biden, have disappointed him. "Obama searched for a father, for someone to relate to who could help him—a strong man who knew what to do," Frank writes.

[Check out photos of Obama behind the scenes.]

This is Frank's second psychoanalytical book about a president. While a sympathetic look at Obama, it follows Bush on the Couch, a sharply critical analysis that suggested then President George W. Bush was disturbed. In that book, he predicted that someone like Obama—"completely different," "someone not ... white"—would succeed Bush. What the nation ended up with, however, is "an almost tragic figure," Frank writes.

The general theme is that Obama has been affected both by being biracial and by the abandonment of his two dads during his childhood. The result is that he is overly protective of his own nuclear family, desires greatly to see national unity, and yet harbors anger that he took out on bin Laden. [Vote now: Will Obama be a one-term president?]

Take for example Obama's earlier willingness to compromise with Republicans, upsetting his liberal base. Here Frank cites the negative influence of his parents, especially his mom, who often pressed him to do better in school. "He hates being pushed by supporters who want him to make good on his promises of universal healthcare and care for the poor, something that represents his mother and how she pushed him to study harder," Frank writes. And when he ignores his base, he is emulating his father, expressing annoyance but not worried they will desert him.

As for bin Laden, Frank writes that Obama's inner anger emerged: "He was able to pursue his action against bin Laden in part because bin Laden offered a displacement figure for Obama's rage toward his own parents." [ I believe this is factually incorrect and was mere political desperation by wobama et als; see infra, “Bin Laden” Heroes Probably Murderered to Keep Them Quiet  ... Gordon Duff Veterans TodayFLASHBACK: 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? [See a slide show of 10 issues driving Obama's re-election campaign.]

Frank also calls Obama scared of the type of radical change he advocated in 2008. "He wants to be the father who makes change safe, the person he has waited for his entire life."

BUCHANAN: Is the New World Order unraveling?  October 13, 2011 ‘With Greece on the precipice of default and Portugal and Italy approaching the ledge, the European monetary union appears in peril.

Should it collapse, the European Union itself could be in danger, for economic nationalism is rising in Europe. Which raises a larger question.

Is the New World Order, the great 20th century project of Western transnational elites, unraveling?

The NWO dates back as far as Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations, which a Republican Senate refused to enter. FDR, seeking to succeed where his mentor had failed, oversaw the creation of a United Nations, an International Monetary Fund and a World Bank.

In 1951 came the European Coal and Steel Community, love child of Jean Monnet, which evolved into the European Economic Community, the European Community and the European Union. A European Central Bank and a new currency, the euro, followed.

The hidden ultimate goal of economic union was political union – a United States of Europe as model and core of the 21st-century world government.

Pat Buchanan's latest book -- the title says it all: "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?"

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the EU expanded to the east. And the New World Order, formally proclaimed by George H.W. Bush in 1991, was out in the open and seemingly the wave of the future.

Progress was swift.

A North American Free Trade Agreement, bringing the United States, Mexico and Canada into a common market that George W. Bush predicted would encompass the hemisphere from Patagonia to Prudhoe Bay, was signed in 1993.

A World Trade Organization was born in 1994. U.S. sovereignty was surrendered to a global body where America had the same single vote as Azerbaijan.

The Kyoto Protocol, brought home by Vice President Al Gore, set up a regime to control the worldwide emission of greenhouse gases.

An International Criminal Court, a permanent Nuremberg Tribunal to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity, was created.

A doctrine of limited sovereignty had been asserted. Elites claimed a higher law than national sovereignty; "a responsibility to protect" enabled them to intervene in countries where human rights violations were egregious.

Serbia, bombed by Bill Clinton for 78 days for fighting to hold its ancient province of Kosovo, was the first victim.

Suddenly, however, the progression has stalled. Indeed, the New World Order seems to be unraveling.

Emerging powers like China, India and Brazil are demanding they be exempt from restrictions developed countries seek to impose. The follow-up summits to Kyoto – Copenhagen in 2009, Cancun in 2010 – ended in failure. The Doha round of world trade negotiations ended in failure.

China refuses to let her currency float lest she lose the trade surpluses that have enabled her to amass $3 trillion in cash reserves.

Protectionism is rising. Americans chafe at a new world economic order that has led to deindustrialization of their country. Congress is talking of defunding the U.N. as anti-Western and anti-Israel.

Why is the New World Order suddenly going in reverse?

A primary reason is the resurgence of nationalism. Nations are putting national interests ahead of any perceived global interests.

A second reason is the decline of a West whose project this was. We no longer dictate to the world, and the world no longer marches to our tune. The deficits and indebtedness of Western nations preclude more of the big wealth transfers in foreign aid that once bought us influence.

A third reason is demography. Not one European nation has a birth rate sufficient to replace its population. Europe's nations are aging, shrinking, dying. A depopulating Germany cannot carry forever the deficit-debtor nations of Club Med. The oldest nation, Japan, is on schedule to lose 25 million people by 2050, as is neighbor Russia.

Militarily, America remains the most powerful nation. But Iraq and Afghanistan have bled the country and left us without the certain attainment of our goals. Old allies like Turkey go their separate ways.

Ethno-nationalism also explains a disintegrating world order. Aspiring nations like Scotland, Catalonia, Padania, Flanders, Ingushetia, Dagestan, East Turkestan, Kurdistan and Baluchistan seek a place in the sun, free of the cloying embrace of the mother country.

The desire of peoples for nations all their own, where their own language, faith and culture predominate and their own kind rule to the exclusion of all others, is everywhere winning out over multiculturalism and transnationalism.

Through history there have been attempts to unite the world.

The Roman Empire. Catholicism. Islam. The West that ruled much of mankind from Columbus to the mid-20th century. Communism, which conquered half of Europe and Asia but arose and fell in a single century.

With the death of communism and the decline of the West – in relative population and power – Islam has become the largest religion, China the world's emerging superpower and Asia the continent of the future.

Could this still be the Second American Century?  [ Absolutely, unequivocally NOT! ]

Not the way we are going.’

Maybe if these peaceful people in the confines of their homes (it’s a jungle out there on the lawless California ‘streets’) were to commit serious crimes they would get more empathy, understanding from the inmates / criminals running the asylum they call California! Outrageous! ] ‘This is what Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, discovered when they were fined $300 earlier this month for holding a Bible study class on their property.Officialdom in the county said the couple were singled out because it is considered illegal to hold “a regular gathering of more than three people” on private property. Officials stated that the Fromms require a license to hold meetings in their home.San Juan Capistrano authorities claim home Bible study is not allowed because it is a “church,” and churches require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in residential areas.The Fromms face additional fines of $500 per meeting for any further “religious gatherings” in their home, according to the Pacific Justice Institute.The city’s action is a brazen violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees free worship without government intervention.PJI and the Fromms plan to appeal a decision made by the city to uphold the fine and restriction to the California Superior Court in Orange County, according to KCOY 12 News, a Fox affiliate.Ironically, the city of San Juan Capistrano was founded as a mission in the late 1700s by Catholic priest Junipero Serra. A local chapel established by Serra is the oldest standing building in California.’

 

 

WIRELESS: Obama invested in Falcone-funded Co.... In ’05 Investing, Obama Took Same Path as Donors By MIKE McINTIRE and CHRISTOPHER DREW ‘Less than two months after ascending to the United States Senate, Barack Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors.

One of the companies was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu. In March 2005, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Mr. Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more federal spending to battle the disease.

The most recent financial disclosure form for Mr. Obama, an Illinois Democrat, also shows that he bought more than $50,000 in stock in a satellite communications business whose principal backers include four friends and donors who had raised more than $150,000 for his political committees.

A spokesman for Mr. Obama, who is seeking his party’s presidential nomination in 2008, said yesterday that the senator did not know that he had invested in either company until fall 2005, when he learned of it and decided to sell the stocks. He sold them at a net loss of $13,000.

The spokesman, Bill Burton, said Mr. Obama’s broker bought the stocks without consulting the senator, under the terms of a blind trust that was being set up for the senator at that time but was not finalized until several months after the investments were made.

“He went about this process to avoid an actual or apparent conflict of interest, and he had no knowledge of the stocks he owned,” Mr. Burton said. “And when he realized that he didn’t have the level of blindness that he expected, he moved to terminate the trust.”

Mr. Obama has made ethics a signature issue, and his quest for the presidency has benefited from the perception that he is unlike politicians who blend public and private interests. There is no evidence that any of his actions ended up benefiting either company during the roughly eight months that he owned the stocks.

Even so, the stock purchases raise questions about how he could unwittingly come to invest in two relatively obscure companies, whose backers happen to include generous contributors to his political committees. Among those donors was Jared Abbruzzese, a New York businessman now at the center of an F.B.I. inquiry into public corruption in Albany, who had also contributed to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that sought to undermine John Kerry’s Democratic presidential campaign in 2004.

Mr. Obama, who declined to be interviewed about the stock deals, has already had to contend with a controversy that arose out of his reliance on a major campaign contributor in Chicago to help him in a personal financial transaction. In that earlier case, he acknowledged last year that it had been a mistake to involve the contributor, a developer who has since been indicted in an unrelated political scandal, in deals related to the Obamas’ purchase of a home.

Senate ethics rules do not prohibit lawmakers from owning stocks — even in companies that do business with the federal government or could benefit from legislation they advance — and indeed other members of Congress have investments in government contractors. The rules say only that lawmakers should not take legislative actions whose primary purpose is to benefit themselves.

Mr. Obama’s sale of his shares in the two companies ended what appears to have been a brief foray into highly speculative investing that stood out amid an otherwise conservative portfolio of mutual funds and cash accounts, a review of his Senate disclosure statements shows. He earned $2,000 on the biotech company, AVI BioPharma, and lost $15,000 on the satellite communications concern, Skyterra, according to Mr. Burton of the Obama campaign.

Mr. Burton said the trust was different from qualified blind trusts that other senators commonly used, because it was intended to allow him greater flexibility to address any accusations of conflicts that might arise from its assets. He said Mr. Obama had decided to sell the stocks after receiving a communication that made him concerned about how the trust was set up.

The investments came at a time when Mr. Obama was enjoying sudden financial success, following his victory at the polls in November 2004. He had signed a $1.9 million book deal, and his ethics disclosure reports show that he received $1.2 million of book money in 2005.

His wife, Michelle, a hospital vice president in Chicago, received a promotion that March, nearly tripling her salary to $317,000, and they bought a $1.6 million house in June. The house sat on a large property that was subdivided to make it more affordable, and one of Mr. Obama’s political donors bought the adjacent lot.

The disclosure forms show that the Obamas also placed several hundred thousand dollars in a new private-client account at JPMorgan Chase, a bond fund and a checking account at a Chicago bank.

But he put $50,000 to $100,000 into an account at UBS, which his aides say was recommended to him by a wealthy friend, George W. Haywood, who was also a major investor in both Skyterra and AVI BioPharma, public securities filings show.

Mr. Haywood and his wife, Cheryl, have contributed close to $50,000 to Mr. Obama’s campaigns and to his political action committee, the Hopefund. Mr. Haywood declined to comment.

Within two weeks of his purchase of the biotech stock that Feb. 22, Mr. Obama initiated what he has called “one of my top priorities since arriving in the Senate,” a push to increase federal financing to fight avian flu.

Several dozen people had already died from the disease in Southeast Asia, and experts were warning that a worldwide pandemic could kill tens of millions of people. Mr. Obama was one of the first political leaders to call for more money to head off the danger, which he described as an urgent public health threat.

His first step came on March 4, 2005, when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved his request for $25 million to help contain the disease in Asia; the full Senate later approved that measure. And in April 2005, he introduced a bill calling for more research on avian flu drugs and urging the government to increase its stockpiles of antiviral medicines.

Mr. Obama repeated this call in a letter that Aug. 9 to Michael O. Levitt, the health and human services secretary. And in September 2005, Mr. Obama and Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa, succeeded in amending another bill to provide $3.8 billion for battling the flu.

Meanwhile, the drug company in which he invested, AVI BioPharma, had been working to develop its own medicine to treat avian flu victims. In a conference call with Wall Street analysts on March 8, 2005, the company’s chairman, Denis R. Burger, said the firm was “aggressively going forward” with its avian flu research and hoped to work with federal agencies on it.

The company, which is also developing medicines in a number of other areas, provided several updates on its avian flu research in 2005, including one on Oct. 21 saying the company was likely to develop a treatment for avian flu “in a relatively short time.”

Mr. Obama sold what appears to have been about 2,000 shares of the company’s stock a week later, when it traded at about $3.50 a share, or about $1 a share more than when he bought it. Company officials said they never talked to the senator about his work on avian flu. And while the company has received millions of dollars in federal money to develop drugs for treating ebola and other serious diseases, it still has not received any federal money for its avian flu research.

The company’s stock briefly surged to nearly $9 a share in January 2006 when it announced promising research findings on the flu drug. But the company still has not applied for federal approvals to test and market the drug.

Unlike his investment in AVI, which yielded a small profit, Mr. Obama’s stake in Skyterra Communications went in the opposite direction, despite a promising start.

He bought his Skyterra shares the same day the Federal Communications Commission ruled in favor of the company’s effort to create a nationwide wireless network by combining satellites and land-based communications systems. Immediately after that morning ruling, Tejas Securities, a regional brokerage in Texas that handled investment banking for Skyterra, issued a research report speculating that Skyterra stock could triple in value.

Tejas and people associated with it were major donors to Mr. Obama’s political committees, having raised more than $150,000 since 2004. The company’s chairman, John J. Gorman, has held fund-raisers for the senator in Austin, Tex., and arranged for him to use a private plane for several political events in 2005. Mr. Gorman declined to comment.

In May 2005, Mr. Abbruzzese, who was vice chairman of Tejas and a principal investor in Skyterra, contributed $10,000 along with his wife to Mr. Obama’s political action committee — a departure from his almost exclusive support of Republicans. Eight months earlier, for instance, he had contributed $5,000 to the Swift Boat group, and he has given $100,000 to the Republican National Committee since 2004.

Last year, Mr. Abbruzzese, a major investor in several high-tech companies in New York and elsewhere, emerged as a central figure in the federal investigation of the New York State Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno. The inquiry is examining Mr. Bruno’s personal business dealings, including whether he accepted money from Mr. Abbruzzese in return for Senate approval of grants for one of Mr. Abbruzzese’s companies. Both men have denied any wrongdoing. Mr. Abbruzzese did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Skyterra’s share price was lifted into the $40 range for a time on the strength of the F.C.C. ruling, but eventually drifted down into the low 30s, and was at $31 when Mr. Obama sold his shares for a $15,000 loss on Nov. 1, 2005. A few months later, it plunged into the $20 range, and today trades below $10 a share. A spokesman for Skyterra said the company’s top officials had not been aware of Mr. Obama’s investment.’

 

 

Joe McGinniss Sarah Palin Book, 'The Rogue,' Makes Controversial Claims About Former Alaska Governor  ‘Joe McGinniss's new book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, hits bookstores next week, but its controversial claims about the former Alaska governor are already making waves.

In the book, McGinniss writes that Palin had a one-night stand in 1987 with future NBA basketball player Glen Rice nine months before she married her husband Todd. He quotes a friend who said Palin "had a fetish for black guys for a while."

"She was a gorgeous woman. Super nice. I was blown away by her," Rice tells McGinniss in the book, NBC reports. "Afterward, she was a big crush that I had."

McGinniss's book also alleges that Palin had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner, Brad Hanson, in the mid-1990s, and snorted cocaine off a 55-gallon oil drum while snowboarding.

"An utter fraud. An absolute and utter fraud," McGinniss calls Palin in an interview about the book with NBC.

"At best, she's a hypocrite," McGinniss tells NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "At worst, she's a vindictive hypocrite."

McGinniss famously moved into a house next door to Palin's Wasilla, Alaska home to write his book -- prompting the Palins to accuse him of stalking them. They built a high fence along their property to protect their privacy.

In response to McGinniss's book, Todd Palin gave a statement to NBC saying that McGinniss "spent the last year interviewing marginal figures with an axe to grind in order to churn out a hit piece to satisfy his own creepy obsession with my wife."

"I'd ask the fathers and husbands of America to consider our privacy when one summer day I found this guy on the deck of the rental property, just 18 feet away next door to us, staring like a creep at my wife while she mowed the lawn in her shorts," Palin said.

McGinniss says that anything he learned about Palin by living next door did not make it into the book, but he does become a character in the story himself.

The New York Times writes in its review:

Soon Mr. McGinniss is settling in to enjoy the fuss his mere presence has created. "Normally, for a news story to continue beyond the first 24-hour news cycle, something newsworthy must occur," he writes loftily, but "The Rogue" is filled with proof to the contrary. What was his hate mail like? He quotes it. What did Glenn Beck call him? That’s here too. Who took umbrage at this venom and chose to help him? One man offered him a hideout, despite Mr. McGinniss's slight skepticism about his motives. "But you don’t know me," Mr. McGinniss protested.

McGinniss's book is scheduled to hit bookstores on Tuesday, Sept. 20.’

Bristol Palin Interview Accidentally Reveals Mother's 15 Abortions  www.theonion.comWASILLA, AK—Sarah Palin's political team was forced to do emergency damage control Monday after the former Alaska governor's daughter Bristol accidentally divulged on live television that her mother has undergone at least 15 abortions over the past 30 years. "She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

AMERICA FALLS TO 5TH PLACE...The U.S. has tumbled further down a global ranking of the world's most competitive economies, landing at fifth place because of its huge deficits and declining public faith in government, a global economic group said Wednesday.

The announcement by the World Economic Forum was the latest bad news for the Obama administration, which has been struggling to boost the sinking U.S. economy and lower an unemployment rate of more than 9 percent. Switzerland held onto the top spot for the third consecutive year in the annual ranking by the Geneva-based forum, which is best known for its exclusive meeting of luminaries in Davos, Switzerland, each January. Singapore moved up to second place, bumping Sweden down to third. Finland moved up to fourth place, from seventh last year. The U.S. was in fourth place last year, after falling from No. 1 in 2008.

The rankings, which the forum has issued for more than three decades, are based on economic data and a survey of 15,000 business executives.

The forum praised the U.S. for its productivity, highly sophisticated and innovative companies, excellent universities and flexible labor market. But it also cited "a number of escalating weaknesses" such as rising government debt and declining public faith in political leaders and corporate ethics.

The results of a survey of 142 nations comes a day before Obama is preparing to tackle jobs issues in a speech to the U.S. Congress, and just as U.S. polls show a clear majority of those surveyed say they disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy.

 

Switzerland held onto its top ranking, the forum said, because of "continuing strong performance across the board" with innovation, technological readiness, even-handed regulation and having one of the world's most stable economic environments.

Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse, was sixth, followed by the Netherlands and Denmark. Japan came in ninth, and Britain was 10th. France was 18th, and Greece, saddled with debt, fell to 90th.

The report looked at broader trends: While the U.S. slipped, emerging markets gained traction. China took 26th place, highest among major emerging economies; Brazil was 53rd; India was 56th; and Russia was 66th.

"Fiscal imbalances that have been building up around the world are really a danger to future competitiveness, in terms of the ability of countries to invest in those things that will be very important for competitiveness going forward, things like education, infrastructure and so on," said Jennifer Blanke, an economist with the forum.’

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. 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 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 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 blacks and 2 hispanics in an incident here in Los Angeles, CA.

The unassuming cheney, barely noticeable in his prior manifestations in one form / position or another, in trying so desperately to imprint himself on the administration of fellow war criminal and moron bush, has been nothing short of disastrous for the world and this country particularly. Clearly, the meds cheney’s had to consistently take have shaken up / messed up his body / brain chemistry to the point where cheney’s nothing less than psychotic in the most negative sense. Indeed, his ‘change’  from somewhat balanced to psychopathic was not lost on former supporter / endorser Gerald Ford who commented publicly, albeit euphemistically, on how mean cheney had become. Such is the way / demeanor of a psychopath upon that defining break from sanity. For those soldiers who were called upon to carry out his sociopathic obsessions, his message to them in explaining his 5 deferments when his nation called on him was that he had better, more important things to do (school deferments).

Play It Again Sam: Dave's Daily  [ As always, Dave is spot-on as an astute, knowledgeable, seasoned veteran of the markets. ] ‘ In our little village in New Hampshire (call it Whoville) there's a summer stock playhouse a block or so from us. They have many good plays but no matter the production or quality, they can't top Wall Street from delivering great performances. Thursday was another great show starring Jobless Claims, Warren Buffet, HAL 9000s, Steve Jobs and, of course, Da Boyz running the CRIMEX (COMEX and CME) on precious metals options expiration.   

The spin on Jobless Claims data was prior claims were adjusted higher making recent higher claims look not so bad especially when you add Verizon workers.

Warren Buffett entered from stage left with a $5 billion investment in Bank of America (BAC) giving him 6% interest tax-free (a "coddled" billionaire?) and making he and Berkshire (BRK) a new TARP program.

The HAL 9000s have been doing business as HFTs (High Frequency Traders) launching many buy or sell programs using complex algorithms which can drive prices on indexes higher or lower in dramatic fashion. One of their great acts is called "quote stuffing". It's another illegal activity which the SEC hasn't quite figured out. It's as futile for them as the illegal fee-driven recent end-of-quarter price jam-job. One of these actions was featured courtesy of our friends at Zero Hedge and depicted below as it occurred Thursday afternoon. The first chart features the quotes per second (NOTE: one instance exceeding 800 quotes per second). The next chart shows the market's simultaneous reaction. 

http://www.thestreet.com/tsc/daves/082511/image002.jpg

Steve Jobs sadly is retiring from his leading role as Apple (AAPL) CEO but the stock hardly budged given the products and brand are already well-known and his retirement was much anticipated.

Last, but not least certainly, was the performance of Da Boyz production of gold price manipulation. The first bear raid occurred Tuesday as The Shanghai Gold Exchange raised margins putting pressure on prices Wednesday in the U.S. Not so secretly evidently, Da Boyz met in Chicago and determined to raise gold margins after the close of trading on Wednesday--this being done with prices already down $100. This action was obviously leaked to those in the options pits and the impact enhanced with options expiration Thursday. So we gapped down lower with this event no doubt triggering more stops. This made the strike price hunt down profitable for those on the floor. Once those cleared we rallied back and closed slightly higher on the day.

Meanwhile, back at Wall & Broad stocks fell sharply because evidently there's some concern Ben will do nothing in launching another round of QE from Jackson Hole. Bond prices were higher as was the dollar while commodity prices overall were mixed.

Volume was higher once again on selling and breadth per the WSJ was quite negative putting more life back into the roller coaster ride…’

 

‘Play it again Sam’  http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/284700.html   ‘ORIGIN

Bogart's supposed line from Casablanca. This is well-known as one of the most widely misquoted lines from films. The actual line in the film is 'Play it, Sam'. Something approaching 'Play it again, Sam' is first said in the film by Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) in an exchange with the piano player 'Sam' (Dooley Wilson):

Ilsa: Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By."
Sam: Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...
Ilsa: Sing it, Sam.

The line is usually associated with Humphrey Bogart and later in the film his character Rick Blaine has a similar exchange, although his line is simply 'Play it':

Rick: You know what I want to hear.
Sam: No, I don't.
Rick: You played it for her, you can play it for me!
Sam: Well, I don't think I can remember...
Rick: If she can stand it, I can! Play it! ‘

Yep, that's where we stand these days -- of the 157 million Facebook users in the United States, these are the ten locations they frequent most. Not the restaurants they frequent most.

Just askin'. ‘

 

Buchanan: The view from Martha's Vineyard... Patrick J. Buchanan ‘As he and his daughters bicycle around the summer playground of the Northeastern elite, Martha's Vineyard, President Obama is steadily bleeding away both the support of the nation and that of his most loyal constituency. Several times, his approval rating in Gallup's daily tracking poll has sunk to 39 percent, with disapproval reaching 54 percent. Support for his handling of the economy has dipped to the mid-20s. Only 11 percent of Americans, says Gallup, are satisfied with the way things are going. Unemployment remains at 9 percent, as it has for two years. The Dow has lately lost 2,000 points, or $3 trillion in wealth wiped out. All that money the Fed pumped out is now being reflected not only in the price of gold, silver and Swiss francs, but in rising consumer prices – inflation. One in five U.S. children is living in poverty.

Middle America, some time ago, decided the "hopey, changey thing" was not working out for them. Now the patience of African-Americans with a president for whom they voted 24 to one is wearing thin.

At a Black Caucus confab in Detroit, Rep. Maxine Waters told an angry audience that if and when Black America demands that they confront Obama, the caucus is ready "to have the conversation."

A collision between Obama and his base seems inevitable. For Black America's situation, though tough today, seems certain to get tougher. Why?

First, black Americans held a significant share of the subprime mortgages that went sour when housing prices went south, and are thus overrepresented among those who lost homes.

Second, black Americans, with a higher rate of poverty, depend more on the entitlement and social programs that Obama cannot avoid hoisting onto the chopping block in any "balanced" plan for dealing with the deficit-debt crisis.

Third, African-Americans are overrepresented among the 22 million who work for local, state and federal governments. And while government workers came out best in terms of job security and salary hikes in the stimulus days of 2009 and 2010, in the austerity days of 2011, they are getting their fair share of pink slips. It is almost a truism: Whenever Middle America goes into recession, Black America flirts with depression.

Consider the U.S. Postal Service, with 600,000 employees, running a deficit of $8.5 billion and facing layoffs of 120,000. According to William Burrus, ex-president of the Postal Workers Union, 21 percent of all postal employees are black. When the cuts come, minorities will take a big hit.

That African-Americans favor a powerful federal government is understandable. After all, it was the federal government that crushed the Confederacy, freed the slaves, sent troops to integrate the South, enacted the civil rights laws, imposed affirmative action on companies and colleges, and created the Great Society that provided trillions in wealth transfers and welfare benefits and employs a share of the black population that is nearly twice its representation in the labor force.

That African-Americans would see states' rights conservatives and small-government Republicans as hostile to the one powerful institution most friendly to them should come as a no surprise.

Here we come to Barack's dilemma.

The nation he leads is facing a deficit-debt crisis that comes of an inescapable truth: Whether we are talking about commitments to go to war to defend scores of nations or commitments to entitlement and Great Society programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, earned income tax credits, food stamps and Pell grants, we Americans have handed out promissory notes we no longer have the means to meet.

We can no longer deliver what we have promised.

We are running deficits of 10 percent of gross domestic product with a national debt over 100 percent. We are on the path that Italy is following, which is the path that Greece pursued.

We are an overextended empire and commonwealth facing strategic and fiscal bankruptcy. If Obama is to lead the nation out of the crisis it confronts, he has to preside over a downsizing of the welfare-warfare state – the same state that sustains his base.

Not to worry, we are told. When the lazy days of summer are over, Obama will present Congress with his big plan for resurrecting the economy and ensuring the long-term solvency of the nation.

Obama's September program – indeed, any credible plan to revive the economy and bring our books into balance – has to include a rollback of U.S. commitments at home and abroad.

Yet, domestically, this cannot be done without reducing future Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, and cutting and capping the social programs of the Great Society. Moreover, half the nation cannot freeload forever, as is the case today, contributing nary a dime in federal income taxes.

And such reforms must adversely impact most Obama's political and personal base.

If he proposes new taxes, tea-party Republicans fix bayonets.

If he proposes downsizing the government and cutting and capping social programs, his most loyal constituents rise up against him.

Enjoy the Vineyard, Mr. President. Read more: The view from Martha's Vineyard http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=335265#ixzz1VQWOeKDx

SEC accused of destroying files Former agency official says SEC violated federal law by destroying records of enforcement cases in which it decided not to file charges. (Washington Post) [ Duh, ya think? The frauds on wall street et als should be criminally prosecuted, jailed, fined, and disgorgement imposed!     SEC destroyed documents, senator says 17 Aug 2011 ‘The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement case ...   Grassley: Agency may have got rid of Goldman, Madoff documents   Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. “From what I’ve seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agency’s chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law.” Agency staff “destroyed over 9,000 files” related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past year’s work. Flynn alleges the SEC destroyed files related to matters being examined in important cases such as Bernard Madoff and a $50 billion Ponzi scheme he operated as well as an investigation involving Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS +0.33%   trading in American International Group credit-default swaps in 2009. Flynn also alleged that the agency destroyed documents and information collected for preliminary investigations at Wells Fargo & Co. WFC +1.34% , Bank of America Corp. BAC +0.81% , Citigroup C +0.13%  , Credit Suisse CS +0.38%  , Deutsche Bank DB +0.79%  Morgan Stanley MS -0.06%  and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers. The letter goes into particular detail about Deutsche Bank, the former employer of current SEC enforcement chief Robert Khuzami as well as former enforcement chiefs Gary Lynch and Richard Walker…’

Grassley:   Report: SEC lawyer exposed FBI informant (WP) [ Clearly, the sec liar (sic – lawyer) is one of those typically with a ‘pre or post’ arrangement, whether implicit or explicit; you know, that ubiquitous ‘bribe thing’ in pervasively corrupt, defacto bankrupt, fallen  america. Indeed, the scenario typifies that national drain / sinkhole new york (new york / new jersey metro) where, for example, FBI informants were routinely exposed by ‘italians’ in the new york d.a.’s office over the objection of the FBI, and were promptly ‘dispatched’/assassinated / hit by mafia / organized crime [ this was documented with authority in the book ‘Goombata: The Improbable Rise and Fall of John Gotti and His Gang’ Cummings / Volkman  ]

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

In euro crisis, signs of German fatigue  Politics keep the chancellor from putting full weight of Europe’s largest economy behind a solution (Washington Post) [ Yeah … ‘square pegs in round holes’ is definitely not Germany’s style. European economies brace as Germany slows Discouraging news about the pace of growth came just hours before German and French leaders called for new steps to impose discipline on governments whose lax budget practices prompted the debt crisis. (Washington Post) [ First, let’s call this economic scenario what it is; viz., the ‘d’ word … ‘depression’. For those who find that term unutterable, then ‘double-dip recession’ is the term for you. All the dollar debasement (over-printing, etc.) for the benefit of the frauds on wall street et als to the substantial detriment of everyone else can’t change and has exacerbated and obfuscated this fact.

Yet, let’s not kid ourselves to the point where virtual survival is threatened and at stake as is so for the EU.

In this society, ordinary citizens have fallen into a passive stupor of complacency, blind to the insidious growth of a rampant, violent youth culture. The protagonist of the story is Alex, a fifteen-year-old boy who narrates in a teenage slang called nadsat, which incorporates elements of Russian and Cockney English. Alex leads a small gang of teenage criminals—Dim, Pete, and Georgie—through the streets, robbing and beating men and raping women.

This cinematic adaptation was produced, directed, and written by Stanley Kubrick. It features disturbing, violent images, to facilitate social commentary about psychiatry, youth gangs, and other contemporary social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian, future Britain.Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the main character is a charismatic, psychopathic delinquent whose pleasures are classical music (especially Beethoven), rape, and so-called 'ultra-violence'. He leads a small gang of thugs (Pete, Georgie, and Dim), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian друг, "friend", "buddy"). The film tells the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via a controversial psychological conditioning technique. Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured, contemporary adolescent slang comprising Slavic (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.A Clockwork Orange features a soundtrack comprising mostly classical music selections and Moog synthesizer compositions by Walter Carlos. The now-iconic poster of A Clockwork Orange, and its images, were created by designer Bill Gold.

Meyer: Why aren’t Americans rioting?   (Washington Post) [ It really is quite surprising inasmuch as they’re getting quite a royal screwin’ from the so-called ‘powers that be’.

Will: Kennedy’s Berlin blunder  (Washington Post) [ Oh come on Mr. Will! I’d say Kennedy’s  blunder was, as Caesar and the ides of March, not heeding warnings concerning that Dallas ride. A bit of a reach though factually accurate are the implications, consequences of those highlights which in terms of results were foreseen years before by ‘Warrior-General Patton’. Indeed, for the rising military industrial complex, one way or another, conflict whether hot or cold, requiring substantial defense spending was fait accomplis. I’m disappointed to hear of Kennedy’s unfounded criticism of the last great leader / president, the substantially underrated but great President General Eisenhower which I would attribute to Kennedy’s own insecurity regarding such matters and possibly in psychiatric terms, a form of displacement. Krauthammer: Our political system is working well  (Washington Post) [ Wow! 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 Mr. 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).

"She's always telling me how special I am, especially considering the five or six babies she aborted before I was born," Palin, 20, said during a CNN interview in which she was asked if she thought her mother would make a good president. "Then of course there were the twins she aborted shortly after having me, another four abortions after Willow somehow survived hers—but anyway, she's a wonderful mom. She just gets pregnant a lot and doesn't always want to have the baby." Palin also commended her mother's strength in carrying three babies with Down syndrome to term, and then even choosing not to give Trig up for adoption like the others.

“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.). 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   The powerless president  Obama remains indecisive, and ignored, as larger forces bring down the country.  Robinson: S&P downgrades the GOP   (Washington Post) [ Riiiiight!

White House turns attention to blacks Focus comes amid a growing concern that economic conditions might hamper black voter turnout. (Washington Post) [ As if we couldn’t see that coming. Yet, the ‘make-work, make-shift’ jobs already extant in the federal, state, local ‘public service’ sectors along with the otherwise unemployable at, ie., the u.s. postal service, etc., are uneconomic and overly costly (Drudgereport: Obama Economists Admit: 'Stimulus' Cost $278,000 per Job... ) at best and downright wasteful at worst, the latter being the most prevalent scenario. Moreover, despite the rhetoric, blacks will always ‘back the black’. No criteria. No analysis. ‘Back the black’ their despoiling cry.

Apple is the Nasdaq (40% weighting) and quite more, that now was! That’s past tense. Steve Jobs goes out a big winner as indeed he should!

[ .. (the following incident is my personal experience: black perps, white victims)‘.. 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 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 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 blacks 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). ]

Orol, MarketWatch WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Securities and Exchange Commission may have destroyed documents and compromised enforcement cases involving activity at large banks and hedge funds during the height of the financial crisis in 2008, according to allegations made by a lawmaker on Wednesday. “From what I’ve seen, it looks as if the SEC might have sanctioned some level of case-related document destruction,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a letter to the agency’s chairman, Mary Schapiro. Sen. Chuck Grassley  “It doesn’t make sense that an agency responsible for investigations would want to get rid of potential evidence. If these charges are true, the agency needs to explain why it destroyed documents, how many documents it destroyed over what timeframe, and to what extent its actions were consistent with the law.” Agency staff “destroyed over 9,000 files” related to preliminary agency investigations, according to a letter sent in July to Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and obtained by MarketWatch. The allegations were made by SEC enforcement attorney, Darcy Flynn, in a letter to Grassley. Flynn is a current employee, and according to the letter, received a bonus for his past year’s work.

Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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://albertpeia/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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Experts: Recovery might take a while If this crisis follow the pattern of similar ones, it may be one of the most difficult in U.S. history. (Washington Post) [ Duh! Ya think! Dow/Gold Ratio Lowest Since 1987 Crash   Forbes   Adrian AshToday’s gold buyers might still get to look early birds as this depression wears on… GROWTH or defense…stocks or gold? Intra-day noise aside in summer 2011, Mr.Market’s choice looks plain.

The Dow/Gold Ratio – a measure of the U.S. stock market’s valuation in ounces of gold – has sunk as equities have plunged but gold prices have jumped so far this summer.

Dropping through 6.0 ahead of Friday’s New York opening, the Dow/Gold Ratio hasn’t been this low since early 1989, back when world equity markets were recovering from the Great Crash of Black Monday 1987.

http://goldnews.bullionvault.com/files/DowGoldviii11.png

That slump itself had taken the Dow/Gold Ratio all the way down to 3.6, with gold prices rising to nearly $500 per ounce as the Wall Street index sank to 1776 points. Growth, of course, was only taking a pause in late 1987 – a quick breather before the real race to perfection of the late 1990s. Today, in contrast, the Dow/Gold Ratio could still go a lot further down. Or so says history.

Trading a little over its century-long average of 10.0 today, the ratio bottomed during the 1930s Great Depression at just below 2.0 ounces of gold for one Dow unit. At the nadir of the next global depression – the inflationary depression of the early 1980s – the Dow/Gold Ratio sank even lower, down to 1.0.

Whatever flavor of depression we’ve got at the start of this decade – and it is a depression, as Western jobs data continue to show and as the Dow/Gold yardstick will confirm if it goes much lower (keep an eye on the underperformance of gold mining equities, too) – a growing flow of private savings is choosing defense in gold bullion rather than choosing business-risk in listed stocks.

That choice might sound self-fulfilling if you work in psychiatry or government, a kind of “clinical disorder” open to curing with medication, zero interest rates or perhaps a third round of quantitative easing – most likely aimed at risk assets, we guess, rather than the “risk free” Treasury bonds targeted by QE1 and QE2 – and which institutional investors are all-too keen to hold anyway.

So far, however, investors choosing to buy gold only account for a tiny portion of the money fleeing equities.

From here to a true depression low in Dow/Gold (if such a level is reached), today’s gold buyers will need to find many more friends. They’d also look early-birds compared with the rush out of stocks – and into gold – needed to reach that 2.0 or 1.0 mark.’



 

BlogPost : Jon Stewart attacks Fox 'class warfare' ...Warren Buffett (Nati Harnik/AP) After Warren Buffett’s New York Times Op-ed called for a tax on the.. (Washington Post) [Ignore Buffett's Advice, Don't Buy Stocks at Forbes Bert Dohmen [ Yeah … this is really good advice. As a shill for fraudulent wall street, they may have given him some ‘stellar performances and cash to boot’; but, the homespun bumpkin senile buffet’s analytical abilities, if ever really extant, have certainly passed the point of no return. You may recall how the clintons, with a mere $1,000 or so, were revealed as ‘commodities trading wizards’ (turned into in excess of $100,000 or so), but as written up in the Wall Street Journal ‘someone was giving them money’. In fairness, that they were singled out (was) is a bit arbitrary inasmuch as that’s going on all the time on wall street, and now with greater precision owing to greater computer programming capabilities, to everyone else’s detriment. Remember, in a manner of speaking, there are two sides to every trade, viz., winner and loser (in relative terms).] ‘The markets plunged going into August 8. On that day, the DJI closed with a loss of 629 points. My indicators signaled that a brief bounce would commence the next day. According to the charts, the first target for the S&P 500 was 1205. The target was hit exactly a few days later. That was followed by a renewed plunge.

I have been looking for a serious crisis to start in September. It appears that we have seen the prelude for that. The big smart money has been preparing for the past five months.You can see the “distribution pattern” on the charts since mid-February. The rush to the exits is now accelerating and the smart money has been selling short in large amounts.

The extreme bullish sentiment that prevailed until the latest plunge was first replaced by complacency, then by concern. However, the “fear” stage is still missing, except at hedge funds that were forced to sell because of margin calls. In fact, during the severe plunge in the first week of August, investment investors became even more bullish according to Investorsintelligence.com. That is not good for the markets.

The market negatives are increasing in numbers. The IPO window is now shut. There are signs that credit is once again vanishing. Loans are being called in, some companies appear to have difficulties rolling over their Commercial Paper, junk bonds yields are soaring, European banks may stop lending to each other, and the European crisis is spreading out across the globe. It’s my view that this will cause another credit crisis, just as in 2008.

What’s worse is that contrary to 2008, the big players learned to read the signs from their 2008 mistakes. They are now wide awake, although in the media, their minions still repeat the same bullish fairy tale. This means that this crisis could develop much faster than the last one. (Read my book, Financial Apocalypse, which is the 2008 roadmap, one which can be used very well for what is now happening.)

The words “possible recession” suddenly is being mentioned a lot in the media, although economists still strongly deny that possibility. Our rule is that the stronger their denials, the more certain and the deeper the recession will be. In fact, I declared in our May 9 issue of the Wellington Letter that the recession had started.

Morgan Stanley lowered its global GDP growth forecasts for 2012 from 4.5% to 3.8%. My forecast is for 1%-2% or less. It would be negative growth except for the fudged inflation numbers.

The European politicians are not any smarter than those in the U.S. Merkel and Sarkozy had a meeting in Paris and did nothing. That day I called the outcome “Disastrous” for the markets. It took the markets a day to digest the consequences and then the selling avalanche started. Many of the markets in Europe, led by the banks stocks, went into virtual free falls, losing from 4%-7% in one day. Such losses indicate an approaching crisis.

Now we see some of the well-known Wall Street figures appearing in the media, telling investors all the reasons why stocks are a good buy. One appeared with a long list of bullish factors. Well, that list didn’t prevent the global stock market from losing an incredible $6 trillion over the past several weeks. He did the same cheerleading on national TV in 2007 before investors lost 50% of their wealth.

Warren Buffett is also once again the cheerleader saying he is buying stocks. He did that in 2007-2008 as well, and then the meltdown started later in 2008.

I would not fall for this self-serving advice. Words cannot rescind a recession that we already have, it cannot stop the insolvency of entire countries in Europe, it can’t change the fact that major profit downgrades will appear soon, and it can’t stop the China crisis that is now starting.

Gold is soaring, but the mining stocks look terribly weak. There is great danger now with the gold stocks getting hit hard by less developed countries, including South Africa, to nationalize gold mines. This is too lucrative for them to resist.

I would get out of all money market funds unless they are “U.S. government only.”  The MMFs have big exposure to European banks. We believe that lending between banks in Europe may seize, which means that the whole structure will start shaking. You will start hearing the word “contagion.”

In my opinion, the danger period is approaching. What we have seen until now is just a “preview.” The main feature is likely to be worse.

Dollar down against major currencies Global investors are becoming antsy about the dollar’s role as the currency at the core of the world’s financial system.  (Washington Post) [  Antsy?

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.

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).

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.”

 (Washington Post) [ As if we didn’t know and needed them to tell us.

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.”

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

 ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.

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.

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Krauthammer: Our political system is working well  (Washington Post) [ Wow! 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 Mr. 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).

SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE DEBT LIMIT
Dear Congresswoman Roybal-Allard:

The following is my comment to an LA Times article regarding a Justice Department cover-up! As for your inquiry, all I think about day and night is a long overdue resolution to the RICO litigation as set forth therein:

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:

Federal Bureau of Investigation, USDOJ

Los Angeles, CA 90024

 

 

Dear Sir:

 

I enclose herewith 3 copies of the within DVD rom autorun disk (which will open in your computer’s browser) as per your office’s request as made this day (the disk and contents have been scanned by Avast, McAfee, and Norton which I’ve installed on my computer to prevent viral attacks / infection and are without threat). I also include 1 copy of the DVD as filed with the subject court as referenced therein (which files are also included on the aforesaid 3 disks in a separate folder named ‘112208opocoan’). The (civil) RICO action (as you’re aware, the RICO Act is a criminal statute which provides a civil remedy, including treble damages and attorney fees, as an incentive for private prosecution of said claims probably owing to the fact that the USDOJ seems somewhat overwhelmed and in need of such assistance given the seriousness and prevalence of said violations of law which have a corrupting influence on the process, and which corruption is pervasive). A grievance complaint against Coan was also filed concurrently with the subject action and held in abeyance pending resolution of the action which was illegally dismissed without any supporting law and in contravention of the Order of The Honorable Robert N. Chatigny, Chief Judge, USDC, District Connecticut. The files below the horizontal rule are the referenced documents as filed. (Owing to the damage to the financial interests of both the U.S. and the District of Congresswoman Roybal-Allard, viz., Los Angeles, the Qui Tam provisions of the Federal False Claims Act probably would apply and I would absent resolution seek to refer the within to a firm with expertise in that area of the law with which I am not familiar).

 

 

The document in 5 pages under penalty of perjury I was asked to forward to the FBI office in New Haven is probably the best and most concise summary of the case  RICO Summary to FBI Under Penalty of Perjury at Their Request (5 pages)      [  ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf   http://albertpeia.com/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf          ].

 

 

The correspondence I received from the Congresswoman by way of email attachment (apparent but typical problem with my mail) along with my response thereto is included on the 3 disks as     fbicorrespondencereyes.htm     .   With regard to the calls to the FBI’s LA and New Haven, CT offices: There was one call to the LA office and I was referred to the Long Beach, CA office where I personally met with FBI Agent Jeff Hayes to whom I gave probative evidentiary documents of the money laundering which he confirmed as indicative of same (he was transferred from said office within approximately a month of said meeting and his location was not disclosed to me upon inquiry). The matter was assigned to FBI Agent Ron Barndollar and we remained in touch for in excess of a decade until he abruptly retired (our last conversation prior to his retirement related to the case and parenthetically, Rudy Giuliani whose father I stated had been an enforcer for the mob to which he registered disbelief and requested I prove it, which I did – he served 12 years in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter? – and no, there is no Chinese wall of separation – Andrew Maloney’s the one that prosecuted gotti).

 

 

In contradistinction to the statement in said correspondence, there is a plethora of information including evidence supporting the claims set forth in the    RICO VERIFIED COMPLAINT    (see infra). Such includes and as set forth in the case, inter alia,

 

 

  • 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, 3rd 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’.

 

 

There is applicable insurance / surety coverage and neither LA, nor creditors, nor I should continue to have been damaged by this brazened corrupt and illegal scenario, which should be resolved in accordance with the meaningful rules of law apposite thereto.

 

 

Sincerely,

Perry attack puts pressure on Fed ANALYSIS | The central bank is supposed to make its decisions based on economics, not politics. Perry takes aim at Bernanke   (Washington Post) [ When you’re right, you’re right. Can’t take that away from him. 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.”

.. 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

 ..  The standard unemployment rate most often used by the Fed is currently at 9.1%, up 90% since Bernanke started.  The more inclusive (realistic) U6 number stands at 15.8%, up 75% in the same period.  The Civilian Participation Rate has declined 2.87% to 64.2%.

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.

Obama issues first explicit call for Syrian president to resign The rhetorical escalation was backed by sanctions designed to undermine military operations. (Washington Post) [ The reply: right after you wobama for gross incompetence, for harboring war criminals bush and cheney et als, for unconstitutional exercise of war powers alluded to by congressional members, for fraud in the inducement and factum (false campaign statements/promises), and as soon as you return that ridiculous thing called the ‘nobel peace prize’ belied by your actions, etc..

I don’t think so; nor does the overwhelming, including the unpolled, majority! Is Obama’s fate written in numbers?

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).

“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).

“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.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ 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). ]

200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ 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). ]

Black Serial Killers Not So Uncommon http://www.amren.com/news/news04/03/03/blackserial.html
200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Niggers are a scourge wherever they are; a black plague, if you will. The reality is that in this nation, having been overrun by niggers, americans have become the new age dinosaurs. As for tyson, the ugly little monkey that no one wanted, now full-grown angry ape, his IQ is well below the average 100. Ape tyson is just a disgrace, period. He’s a typical ignorant, violent ape/nigger.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ 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). ]

No, he’s not moonlighting as an agent.Vice President Joe Biden last year earned $20,900 in rental income from the Secret Service, which is paying him to host agents on his property so they can protect him.Most high-profile people in need of protection pay people to keep them safe. Government officials are allowed to have taxpayers pick up the tab. Biden is unique in that he actually gets paid by his bodyguards for the right to protect him.Biden’s tax records list rental income of $20,900 from a “cottage” on is property, which is reportedly being leased by the Secret Service and paid for at a rate that could earn him even more money next year.Biden took deductions for mortgage interest and taxes that allowed him to report only $12,653 of the amount on his federal tax return.Of course, the Bidens badly need the money. They only had an adjusted gross income of $379,035 last year. This probably also explains why they gave less than 1.5 percent of their income to charity.Among the $5,540 in charitable donations were $1,000 to the UN World Food Program; $1,080 to the Northern Virginia Community College Alumni Scholarship Fund; $1,000 to the Diocese of Wilmington; Delaware; $360 to a breast health initiative launched by Dr. Jill Biden; and $50 to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Would it have been preferable for her to have been a working wife as michelle obama to con-man, sometime gayster obama who was about to be disbarred when she surrendered her law license; or, hilarious hillary clinton who conducted séances on the roof of the whitehouse purportedly with Eleanor Roosevelt?

SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

POLICE: Black teenagers light 13-year-old on fire; 'You get what you deserve, white boy'...
Typical n*****s! Come on! People are tired of making making up excuses for the blacks. It’s always the same story with them, no matter where. http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical!  For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders: http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical n*****s! Good thing there are food stamps; otherwise they’d be reverting to their inherent proclivity for canabalism (send them back to africa … even give them a lump sum for an irrevocable repatriation incentive … a huge cost-saving beyond the first year with substantial salutary effects for the nation, the economy, and the remaining civilized non-blacks). The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ 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).

Black Serial Killers Not So Uncommon http://www.amren.com/news/news04/03/03/blackserial.html
200 Involved In Fights At Mall Of America After Rumors That Rappers Are There...

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Shooter of Florida teen not a racist, lawyer says...
SECRET WITNESS: Self-defense... [Witness: Martin attacked ZimmermanUpdated: Monday, 26 Mar 2012, 2:57 PM EDT
ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Detroit Preacher: 'Isn't The Mood In This Nation That White People Are Better Than Black? [ That’s not the mood, that’s reality; the plain, raw, unvarnished truth! And, not just whites; viz., Asians, Hispanics, real American Indians,  etc., and most feral beasts except dogs are better than blacks who are at best their equals, though some dog owners/lovers may dispute that. Niggers are a scourge on civilized society wherever they are. Just look around, worldwide, wherever they are, in concentrations particularly; it’s the same nigger story. That’s the way they are. That’s what they are. They are a blight on any neighborhood. They are a blight on any society and an insurmountable burden. They bring any society down. Some will argue, how ‘bout sports?, to which one may reply, ie., just because you go to horse races, doesn’t mean you want to live with horses, or, just because you have monkeys in zoos doesn’t mean you want to live with them, etc., much less cede control and affect over society to them.  ] '

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

Typical n*****s! Come on! People are tired of making making up excuses for the blacks. It’s always the same story with them, no matter where. http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical!  For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders: http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical n*****s! Good thing there are food stamps; otherwise they’d be reverting to their inherent proclivity for canabalism (send them back to africa … even give them a lump sum for an irrevocable repatriation incentive … a huge cost-saving beyond the first year with substantial salutary effects for the nation, the economy, and the remaining civilized non-blacks). The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ 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.

ORLANDO - A witness we haven't heard from before paints a much different picture than we've seen so far of what happened the night 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed.The night of that shooting, police say there was a witness who saw it all.Our sister station, FOX 35 in Orlando, has spoken to that witness.What Sanford Police investigators have in the folder, they put together on the killing of Trayvon Martin few know about.The file now sits in the hands of the state attorney. Now that file is just weeks away from being opened to a grand jury.It shows more now about why police believed that night that George Zimmerman shouldn't have gone to jail.Zimmerman called 911 and told dispatchers he was following a teen. The dispatcher told Zimmerman not to.And from that moment to the shooting, details are few.But one man's testimony could be key for the police."The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: 'help, help…and I told him to stop and I was calling 911," he said.Trayvon Martin was in a hoodie; Zimmerman was in red.The witness only wanted to be identified as "John," and didn't not want to be shown on camera.His statements to police were instrumental, because police backed up Zimmerman's claims, saying those screams on the 911 call are those of Zimmerman."When I got upstairs and looked down, the guy who was on top beating up the other guy, was the one laying in the grass, and I believe he was dead at that point," John said.Zimmerman says the shooting was self defense. According to information released on the Sanford city website, Zimmerman said he was going back to his SUV when he was attacked by the teen.Sanford police say Zimmerman was bloody in his face and head, and the back of his shirt was wet and had grass stains, indicating a struggle took place before the shooting.’ ] Trayvon Martin shooter: Teen went for my gun

Suspended THREE times for drugs, truancy and graffiti and 'caught carrying a burglary tool': New picture emerges of Trayvon Martin (and did he attack a bus driver too?)

  • The teen was suspended from school three times
  • He was on suspension when he was shot in February, after officials caught him with a 'marijuana pipe' and a baggie with drug residue
  • Trayvon was kicked out of school in October for graffiti after he was allegedly caught with a 'burglary tool' and a bag full of women's jewelry
  • Officials also suspended him once for skipping school and tardiness

·        Trayvon Martin was suspended from school three times in the months before he was shot dead by a neighborhood watchman, it emerged today.

·        The facts, revealed in a leaked report, paint a different picture of a teenager who frequently found himself in trouble with authorities.

·        It was also revealed that he might have attacked a bus driver, according to a Twitter account that it is claimed belonged to the teen.

·        The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a 'burglary tool' - a flathead screwdriver - and 12 pieces of women's jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.

People have become weary of making up excuses for blacks (like obama, holder, etc.). At some point, as now, people should not be timid about relating the cold, unvarnished truth statistically / factually about blacks and, ie.,  black on white violent crime, etc..

 From Pat Buchanan: As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse? We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena. And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Marine sergeant faces discipline for FACEBOOK critique of Obama...
APNewsBreak: Marine critical of Obama faces charge [ This one caught my eye. While it is true that good soldiering requires absolute discipline by definition, oaths should be taken seriously, honored, and given effect. That said, burning Qurans was the product I assume of orders reflecting even more than just stupidity; hence, whoever gave the order should  pay the piper. If no order, and stupidity as with urinating on the bodies of the dead, can and should the actors be held accountable for such gross stupidity? Absolutely! However, one must be mindful of the reality that marines invariably have ‘skin in the game’ when it comes to consequences of commanders in chief incompetence, unlawful acts, poor judgment particularly as impacted by questionable mental states (arbitrarily taking the last three presidents as illustrative, viz., clinton, bush, obama certainly reflect this reality and concern coupled with the unnecessary murderous results of their actions). There has been a longstanding rebuke of the ‘just following orders’ defense accorded soldiers since particularly the nazi regime as an example. As such, Stein certainly should be lauded for saying what all soldiers should already know; namely, the unlawful detention of americans, among other constitutionally barred activities should not be among those orders they are willing to follow. The proscriptions of posse comitatus should also serve as a guide. This is particularly important given the fragile mental state of americans generally, and america’s leadership especially. No longer is it, if ever it was true that americans can be trusted to do the right thing. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Wobama is a desperate and incompetent failure as president whose invariable breach of campaign promises is a testament to his unsuitability for the office he currently occupies; and, one can only thank Stein for recognizing what could devolve into a much more serious and devastating scenario for the nation owing to wobama’s ever increasing political desperation. Broadly and generally, murky areas as this, even involving the military, should be resolved in favor of free speech, first amendment guarantees and against censorship.  Guest Post: The Ascendence Of Sociopaths In US GovernanceHow did we get here? An argument can be made that miscalculation, accident, inattention and the like are why things go bad. Those elements do have a role, but it is minor. Potential catastrophe across the board can't be the result of happenstance. When things go wrong on a grand scale, it's not just bad luck or inadvertence. It's because of serious character flaws in one or many – or even all – of the players. So is there a root cause of all the problems I've cited? If we can find it, it may tell us how we personally can best respond to the problems. In this article, I'm going to argue that the US government, in particular, is being overrun by the wrong kind of person. It's a trend that's been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it's institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the US is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate. The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual and psychological/spiritual fabric of the US. ]

Typical n*****s! Come on! People are tired of making making up excuses for the blacks. It’s always the same story with them, no matter where. http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm   Islamists kill dozens in Nigeria Christmas bombs [ Blacks’ black Christmas! Typical!  For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders: http://www.albertpeia.com/whitesvictimizedbyblacks.htm  Drudgereport: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... [ Typical n*****s! Good thing there are food stamps; otherwise they’d be reverting to their inherent proclivity for canabalism (send them back to africa … even give them a lump sum for an irrevocable repatriation incentive … a huge cost-saving beyond the first year with substantial salutary effects for the nation, the economy, and the remaining civilized non-blacks). The other major crimes they do anyway. It’s their nature. You’ll never change the nigger … they evolved only to ‘a point’ and no further.  ] Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'They were just going after white people'...  Heightened security...  [ 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). ]

Newt Gingrich promises to build a moon colony by 2020; make it a U.S. state  Wow! Absolute proof that the slimy newt’s not dealing with a full deck. Say anything? This takes the cake! The ‘idea man’? Sure, all he needs is Aladdin’s lamp and infinite capital! Oh yeah, reality nothwithstanding, nasa boondoggles sell well in Cape Canaveral, Florida (and Houston, Texas). Note, he couldn’t just ‘go to the moon for the first time’ (that fake video with the flag waving in the moon’s windy atmosphere yet another example as on fraudulent wall street of that pervasively addictive hopium) America’s debt woe is worse than Greece’s News (CNN) — ‘Our government is utterly broke. There are signs everywhere one looks…The government’s total indebtedness is $211 trillion . How pathetic and desperate, that slimy newt! ]
NECK-FOR-NECK…[moon can wait, indeed; clearly a lucid moment for Romney, yet when asked about the 2-state solution, like a gumball machine he regurgitates the neocon/israeli line that the Palestinians want to eliminate israel when the truth is that the converse precedes and is truer; that is, that israel wants to eliminate palestinians and has with american fed military might acted accordingly…typical, total hogwash!]...

For ‘self-defeating / self-destructive’ ‘political correctness’ or otherwise, I believe the under-profiled black serial killer is also the consequence of their proclivity for and love of killing, random, wanton savagery for no reason other than for the sake of killing (as, ie., rabid dogs, which distinguishes them from and positions them below other feral beasts) and otherwise, and an historic predisposition toward canabalism. After all, the contra-indicated mainstream ‘politically correct’ view (tv and otherwise) calls for a white perp in terms of ‘profile’ which is of course, ridiculous. I believe the under-reporting is owing to multiple killings by blacks being classified as something other than ‘serial’; ie., gang, gang related, ‘typical’, etc.. Moreover, the anti-white bias of the black perps is also a reality that’s under-reported. Take a look at the following brutally uncivilized black on white violent rapes/murders:

Jews still try to segregate Israel buses...
By AMY TEIBEL [Yeah … they’re anti-women, anti-gentile, and … no surprise to me , they’re anti-semitic … you heard it … anti-semites … Arabs are semites! Could you imagine if such a thing happened to a jew or a black in america? You’d never here the end of it! ] JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's political leaders and chief rabbis on Sunday condemned persistent efforts by ultra-Orthodox Jewish men to shunt Israeli women to the back of public buses, a year after the country's Supreme Court outlawed the practice.The outcry came in reaction to an Israeli woman's experience of being asked to move to the back of a bus, which was  Facebook and became a cause celebre in the Israeli media on Sunday. The case even drew public comment from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who deplored gender segregation.Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who make up about 10 percent of Israel's population of 7.6 million, have become increasingly aggressive in their efforts to impose their norms in public spaces. The ultra-Orthodox have segregated bus lines and some walkways in their neighborhoods.In Jerusalem, billboards depicting women have become a rarity because ultra-Orthodox vandals rip them down. The issue also has seeped into the military, where religious soldiers walked out of a military event several months ago because women were singing - which extremely devout Jews believe is contrary to Jewish law.In the past, ultra-Orthodox Jews have confined their strict practices to their own neighborhoods, alongside occasional attempts to pass restrictive legislation banning sale of pork or opening shops on the Jewish Sabbath.Recently the extremist Jews have been trying to impose their norms outside their own enclaves, but the effects are scattered. Most of Israel's secular majority is not directly affected.The Supreme Court was forced to wade into the controversy last year, when it ruled on the segregated buses and sidewalks. Although activists say harassment on buses has diminished since the court ruling late last year, some fiercely devout are persisting with their efforts to block the mixing of the sexes in public.Tanya Rosenblit, a 28-year-old woman from the southern town of Ashdod, discovered this last Friday, when she boarded a bus to an Orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem. Shortly after she sat down behind the driver, a man wearing the black garb and flowing sidelocks of the ultra-Orthodox boarded the bus and asked her to move. She refused, and the man then blocked the bus from driving, she told The Associated Press. She held her ground - even after a male police officer dispatched to the scene asked her if she was "willing to respect them and move to the back," she said….’

Indeed, post-Eisenhower, and certainly post-Kennedy-assassination / coup d’etat, NASA was all military / military industrial complex (moreover, someone knowledgeable about such matters said essentially that in explaining to my surprise the transition to the shuttle program it was said there was greater military application in same). In any event, Russia’s been doing quite a bit of ‘heavy lifting’ vis-à-vis the space station, but not inordinately so. All I can say with certainty is that the universe beyond this solar system is forever protected / insulated.

It’s the pervasive corruption, really, in america, which in China is dealt with harshly, but in america, is rewarded substantially. Crime pays and pays well in america, and is protected by even more crime (bribery, quid pro quo, etc.) among mob (including government) groups, which encourages even more crime (the highest crime rates by far in the world).

Hi Al,
 
I know of you from my old wrestling coach, Ron Pollack.  I know that you wrestled at NYU, and that you won the Met Championships.  I am writing a book about my own experiences in wrestling, judo, and ju jitsu.  I wrestled in the Met championships in 1984 when they were held at NYU, and I remember seeing an old newspaper article they had on display that talked about you winning the Mets in '72 or '73.  You beat Pollack in the finals.  Pollack's coach was quoted in the article as saying that Ron "gassed out", I'm assuming from nerves.  I am really interested in the phenomenon of "choking" in a sports event due to being nervous.  I was wondering if you had any memories you could share about this particular match?  I know it was a long time ago, but if you do remember anything I would appreciate whatever you could share.
 
Regards,

Hello Ethan:

The mother of one of our team mates worked with Ron Pollack's dad who kept telling her how badly Ron Pollack was going to beat me (some others played him up saying he consistently beat his team mate stu pruzansky by substantial margins and other such things). In fact, he took an early lead with a take-down that he was quite good at and I was looking for (something between a firemans' carry and a barrel role)[1972]. However, by the end of the match, he was quite haggard, in tears, and I actually had to hold him up on the podium. My tougher match was the semi's where I met two-time defending Met Champion Ed Rufrano (he got a special trophy for scoring the most team points over a period of time). He was quite strong and although I won, I had slipped a cervical disk (for which I ultimately needed traction - I couldn't even do a push-up after a couple of days which is very humbling when one relies so much on will-power). I had also beaten Ron in the finals of the Freshman Met Tournament. I was injured by the end of the season in the two prior intervening years (interestingly, the neurologist for the herniated disk pointed out that my bones were relatively small compared to my musculature/body-mass). I was fortunate to have a great coach in Roger Saunders (Roger and his brother Richard, a former CIA Agent/Mechanic, were both National Champions). I couldn't imagine Roger saying one of his wrestlers "gassed out", even if true. Ron certainly didn't "choke" in the first period, if at all.

I really appreciate your insights about this.  I never got a chance to speak to Ron about his own college wrestling days.  I only knew him when I was in  high school, where he was coaching a bunch of local high school wrestlers on a part time basis.  He was also helping out at his alma mater
(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Roger Saunders was my coach at NYU and clearly, a great one at that, who subsequently went to Bloomsburg where he was ultimately Athletic Director on last info. Bob Metz had quite a few winning teams at FDU, but he was not Saunders whose brother's wrestling success I alluded to so as to emphasize his wrestling prowess as no fluke. The last I heard of Dave Pruzansky he was diving out of a window of his house to evade police who had busted his drug-dealing operation. As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest. I included reference to pruzansky because they developed a very curious, bizarre, and almost gang-like mentality within their "wrestling click". Upon information, many (if not all) of their clique "amped up" on amphetamines before their matches. Very close to their clique was the very weird and corrupt ref spike israel. The very quiffy spike israel had a "little buddy" jim fiore and had recruited David and his little buddy (among others) to Temple University to which he had some connection, and actually attempted to recruit me to same. I didn't take him seriously; firstly, because he told everyone he had been a state champ (bull s**t); secondly, because he had screwed me in a high school match wherein I had pinned leonard pruzanzky in the first period (I had him on his back almost the entire first period and israel gave me no back points, 2 or 3 for near fall, let alone the pin, and just the takedown and I lost by a point on riding time-leg ride). In an open tournament (I think Stroudsburg?), I was looking at the seedings/pairings/chart and David came up behind me pointed to my entry and said to the guy he was with that I had beaten his brother leonard. Roger required our team during one Christmas break to compete in my first and only free-style tournament. I was up two weight classes and David won quite handily. That was the third time I had beaten Ron and frankly, I did grind him into the mat and kick his ass for the late balance of the first period and the remainder of the match.

 

The following is a reply on facebook to someone who said I beat him in wrestle-off and

completes my wrestling story.

Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Al Peia

Howard:

Thank you for your gracious and overly humble comment. Over time, such things become less and less important and I can't say that I actually recall that, per se. As we both know, wrestling was never a pleasant undertaking and although I respect(ed) the sport, I made it a point never to set foot on a mat off season. You may also find it somewhat ironic that I actually had made the basketball team (Hubie Brown for whom I had high regard was varsity coach and Richie Szura the J.V. coach), which sport I enjoyed; and in a meeting arranged by Dan Deluca (I had won a tournament in junior high and the match against the rival Thomas Jefferson Junior High) with Coach Szura wherein Szura nicely but candidly told me that although I had made the team, "that I wasn't the tallest of angels" (which I thought was very funny and we all laughed) and essentially I'd be warming the bench while Deluca guaranteed me a varsity letter for wrestling the easy matches since varsity wrestler Richard Zocco was having difficulty making weight (he never made weight). As trite and cliched as it sounds, it was the varsity letter guarantee that sealed the deal (and in my mind, the prospective "help with the babes therefrom" - actually, it was only the pretty sophomores with whom it ultimately paid dividends so to speak - how very high school). I had a great Coach in Roger Sanders who recruited me to NYU (Roger and his brother Richard, a CIA agent/mechanic, were both national champions). Wrestling has always been an important learning experience for me. Such a kind and humble remark as yours deserved a greater explanation.

Truly, thanks for all your info.  Interesting that you should mention Spike Israel.  I am assuming that the word "quiffy" is code for "gay".  Spike was coach at Tenafly High when I was in high school, and was known to "like boys".  Apparently he taught the Tenafly guys only one move, the Granby roll, which they were all quite good at, but very little else.  Besides Ron in the early '70's and Steve and Dave Yale in the later '70's Tenafly basically had no decent wrestlers during that period.  Not really sure if this was a coaching issue or recruiting issue.  Our high school (DMHS in Englewood) had former state champ Bob Hurley (Bergenfield) as our assistant coach and former state runner up Reggie Williams (Hackensack) as head coach, and we also fielded very few good wrestlers during those years.

(?FDU) assisting a guy he used to refer to as "Metz" or "Metzy".  By then he was a fairly un-assuming guy and never even told me that he had taken a 2nd at the Mets when he was in college.  By the time I went off to NYU Ron had left town to go to chiropractic school, and I don't think we ever saw each other again.
 
I now remember what struck me so much about that article that was posted at NYU.  It was accompanied by a picture of three guys on the podium.  You were holding Ron up and he was crying.  It's really a classic picture, even more so because unless you know the "back" story you can only imagine what is going on in the wrestler's heads at the moment the shot was taken. I saw this picture once about 25 years ago and it still sticks in my head.  I was wondering if you could clarify:  I am assuming your coach was named Saunders.  He wasn't the one who spoke of gassing out.  Like I said above, I thought Ron was coached at FDU by a guy he used to refer to as "Metz".  It was either Ron's coach (whoever he might have been) or perhaps Ron himself that stated in the article that Ron had "gassed out".  I also remember now that there was some suggestion that he had come down with a flu, which might explain his reaching a state of exhaustion by the end of the match.  Or perhaps you just kicked his ass in in the last 2 periods.
 
Speaking of Stu Pruzanski,  I never met him , but I knew his brother Dave a bit.  Dave owned a gym in the early '80's and our Judo club used to work out there for a while.  This was another guy who never really told you much about himself.  I only found out years later that he once wrestled Gable to a tie.  He was also the only guy to ever win US National championships in Judo, wrestling, and Sombo, all in the same year.  (?1972).  Years later, maybe 1985 or so, he decided to make a comeback in Judo.  He cut a shit load of weight and ended up fighting me in the finals of a small regional tournament.  I beat him by decision, but really got no satisfaction out of beating a guy who was so out of shape.  Can't remember if this was before or after one of his kids committed suicide.

Ethan:

"As a wrestler he was no joke and you did well to beat him and are too modest."
To reiterate: you are far too modest!

 Good luck to you in all your endeavors.

REUTERS: Christie faces White House decision this week...
[ To be president of the now disunited states like no time since the civil war, one really must want to be president. Governing new jersey is probably the easiest political position in the world inasmuch as the same is totally controlled. New york is a close second to jersey in those terms, complicated only by the arrival, politically like never before, of the wall street frauds (the fraudulent goldman era, beginning more serious than ever politicking with rubin, paulson, etc., probably owing to their far larger frauds for which they needed ‘protection’ in the form of ‘political muscle’ – which they got.). The gangs of jersey, new york have a history that’s endured in terms of impact longer than the political parties themselves; proximity to and control of the local vote multiplied many times by the controlled localities ‘they serve’. In jersey, you can’t get elected without the mob; in some areas the mob controlling both parties. [ brendan byrne, who brought the final take-over / scourge / quid pro quo, viz., the casinos, james florio, mario cuomo (progeny andy cuomo), etc., had publically known mob ties. Less conspicuous would be the likes of old money play-along tom kean, whose desperation to breathe life into the moribund political career of his son is evident to all; including his cover-up report on the 911 incident which was probably the worst of its kind since that other non-jurist, politician / former governor of California warren report / cover-up of the coup d’etat / JFK assassination. Just who are these so-called ‘conservatives’ holding back funding while urging jersey christie’s run ‘for the gold’. No … I couldn’t care less about his girth, the goodyear blimp / humpty dumpty jokes, etc.. Yet, one has to wonder why a prior decision, given even further consideration upon God knows who’s self-interested prompting, is suddenly firm today yet malleable tomorrow. Forbes, (and hannity I suspect), of jersey himself (themselves) seems close to this yet one still must wonder ‘what the deal is’. More importantly, for jersey (n.y.) candidates, ‘with whom’. That wobama, as a black man realistically / potentially viewed as the ultimate outsider, would make promises that got him elected, yet renege on nearly all of same is a testament to how totally controlled these gutless politicians are and proving how such lack of courage spells not only their own unequivocal failure (wobama as bush failure 3, et als), but certainly for that of the nation as well ( Cases against Wall Street lag despite Holder’s vows to target financial fraud  WP | Obama has promised to hold Wall Street accountable for the meltdown.’THE OBAMA DECEPTION’ http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv  ). Quite simply, there is really no good reason why a jersey politician should change his mind about something that should be at one with the person himself. After all, we all must at least assume jersey governor Christie is a man of reason who previously made an unequivocal, publically announced, widely covered decision for what must be assumed a good reason. ]

Buchanan: The view from Martha's Vineyard... ‘As he and his daughters bicycle around the summer playground of the Northeastern elite, Martha's Vineyard, President Obama is steadily bleeding away both the support of the nation and that of his most loyal constituency. Several times, his approval rating in Gallup's daily tracking poll has sunk to 39 percent, with disapproval reaching 54 percent. Support for his handling of the economy has dipped to the mid-20s. Only 11 percent of Americans, says Gallup, are satisfied with the way things are going. Unemployment remains at 9 percent, as it has for two years. The Dow has lately lost 2,000 points, or $3 trillion in wealth wiped out. All that money the Fed pumped out is now being reflected not only in the price of gold, silver and Swiss francs, but in rising consumer prices – inflation. One in five U.S. children is living in poverty…’

[ 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. ]

Princess Diana Conspiracy Movie Headed to Theaters...  [ British queen arrives in Ireland Queen Elizabeth II’s visit overshadowed by security scares. (Washington Post) [ ‘How sweet she is’ … that ‘sweet liz’ … that is …   Diana film causes stir at Cannes  “Unlawful Killing” has a combination of celebrity, controversy and canny hype-mongering. (Washington Post)  [ Let’s not kid ourselves … and, Dodi Fayed’s father was no dope and knew the score. Indeed, it’s not coincidental that William’s the over-riding favorite of granny Liz II; after all, Harry’s the bastard son of Hewitt (don’t buy into their DNA proffer which they did buy – you know, that ‘bloodline thing’). Moreover, it was reported that Diana had another ‘potential challenger in the oven’ at the time of her death and we all know how dicey such english affairs of state can be (ie., Henry VIII, Richard III, etc.). Then there’s the contempt of Diana for having brought the son of her bosom, Chas, down. Do I think she said flat out ‘kill Diana’. No … more of a ‘do what’s necessary’ to mi6 et als. Ultimately, William will require some substantial therapy to sort out this looming conflict. After all, Diana was his mother.   Drudgereport:  British woman decapitated in grocery store; killer flees with head...      Cannes: Diana doc slams UK royals as 'gangsters'...  ]

Larry Sinclair (from affidavit: 1.

Obama is just another Banksters' moll prostituting himself .., and that's why he supported the grotesque bail-out of the banking system and why he will always put their interests before the people. ] http://albertpeia.com/obamadeceptionhighqualityversion.flv
