‘THE
FED VS THE WORLD 1-18-13 Inside this
massive building is a mega-Kinkos machine
printing billions of dollars each day. ($4.77 billion just on Friday which by
month’s end should total $85
billion.) These dollars are bombarding stock markets with fresh liquidity
feeding bulls against all odds and logic.Our job is to go with this despite
misgivings and all manner of poor news. As a strategist first and technician or
timer second, we and most investors, must recognize the dynamic at work and
adjust to it. Worrying about debt will be for another day and until its forced
on politicians, bankers and markets. In the meantime, ain’t we got fun! And, until this money printing activity stops, this will be
the underlying theme until either confidence in the activity is lost or bulls
have to proceed without a net.Believe it or not there are pundits today
discussing that retail sales increased .5% in November-December. Well, it’s the holidays and what would one expect?Other news
like Consumer Sentiment plunged (71.3 vs 75 expected & prior 80.5) but not
much was discussed about that.Intel (INTC) earnings were dreadful and the stock
fell over 6%. Since this is an important stock, and its health is a sign of
robust economic growth and demand, it’s
hard to understand it can be so isolated. Also left on the ice-floes this week
were two of the country’s
largest banks, Citigroup and Bank of America. But with memories short bulls can
quickly transition to General Electric (GE) and Morgan Stanley (MS) where
earnings were well-received.The primary good news on the day was that China’s growth was better (7.9% vs 7.8% expected and prior
7.4%). This news helps Asia and emerging markets primarily where we have our
largest exposure.Headline writers had the ability to spin more headlines as
markets were now at their highest levels since December 2007. This is quite an
accomplishment and just shows what printers ink can do. This commentary is
deliberately short as what is written here is expressed or featured in every
equity chart on the planet to one degree or another.Volume increased
substantially on options expiration. Breadth per the WSJ was modestly positive…’

The
hyper-correlation of Japanese stocks (Bass - The people that buying
Japanese stocks, are picking up a dime in front of a bulldozer) and the
JPY have led many to believe that Abe's miracle promise will be just the ticket
to bring the nation's two-decade slump to an end - a 2% inflation target is
all you need. However, in a brief CNBC interview, Kyle Bass explains that
not only are 99.9% of people wrong about the crisis (explaining the critical
aspect of the abrupt turn of twenty years of the 'procylicality of thought' -
that deflation is the norm), but Abe's actions have actually brought
forward the date of the "detonation of Japan's Debt Time Bomb. Bass
goes on to discuss the US Housing stabilization, European stress, and China's
economic opacity (and tensions with Japan), but leaves us with the clear and
present danger in Japan that the clock has started on the qualitative shift in
participants' minds that the situation is untenable (signs are already among
the elite with recent JPY-extricating M&A deals) and "All of
the components for this [bomb] to go off 'all of a sudden' are in place." Must
watch.

On
August 17, 2007, the Fed's Board of Governors announced a key change to primary
credit lending terms, whereby the discount rate was cut by 50 bp — to 5.75% from 6.25% — and the term of loans
was extended from overnight to up to thirty days. This reduced the spread of
the primary credit rate over the fed funds rate from 100 basis points to 50
basis points. News of the emergency measure was supposed to be kept secret from
market participants as it was substantially market moving. It wasn't. And
just when we thought our opinion of the outgoing Treasury Secretary and former
NY Fed head Tim Geithner, whose TurboTax incompetence is now legendary,
couldn't get lower, it got lower. Much lower.

The
Fiscal Cliff theater was great 'off Broadway' drama, but the real show for
traders took center stage Sunday December 16th in Japan. The curtain went up
for the newly elected Prime Minister of Japan as the star actor in the
unfolding global fiat currency drama. In the last 90 days the US, EU
and now Japan have announced "unlimited", "Uncapped"
monetary policy with UK's soon to be bank of England Governor, Carney
indicating he wants inflation & growth targeting also when he assumes the
reins. The goal has been to get interest REAL interest rates as low as
possible, and the expected duration to be as long as possible. Market have
reacted to this strategic and obvious debasement by stampeding, relentlessly
into the Bond Market and creating a disturbing potentially destabilizing bond
bubble. However, remember, Financial Repression is at work here and US
Bond Yields and Interest Rates must be further reduced. We presently
expect the 10 Year US Treasury Bill to eventually break below 1% and Equities
will fall on the re-pricing of credit and risk, earnings revenue and margin
issues and slowing real global growth.

Following
the recent fall of the Swiss franc against the euro, there were paradoxical
comments on the opportunity on both moving the Swiss National Bank’s floor lower (say to
1.25 for example) or on abandoning it altogether (or moving it higher). We
believe both options are very unlikely, at least in the coming months. Moving
the floor lower would be a bad idea in our view. As we have seen, the
extent of the franc’s overvaluation is quite debatable and the lower the
floor, the quicker a monetary policy dilemma may emerge. Moreover, in the event renewed upward pressures on
the franc occur once again, a lower floor may prove more costly in terms of FX
interventions.

The
recovery since the 2008 financial crisis is just an illusion
created by the papering-over of our insolvency by central-bank printing. Doug Casey adds
that the current state is akin to being "in the eye of the hurricane
thanks to this 'cover'" and believes the printing which will ultimately
lead to very high inflation once bank lending starts to pick up again. This
excellent interview moves from Casey's view of a looming loss of
confidence in the dollar (and the impact of mass repatriation) to what
must the Keynesians be thinking as the "apparency of
prosperity" remains all that we have to lift animal spirits. With
an eye to gold (and non-western central banks behavior towards it as they
realize "the USD is just an unsecured liability of a bankrupt
government"), he evaluates the likelihood of a western economic
collapse in 2013 and what that would imply for an implicit gold standard in the
world. From Austrian economist Hans Herman-Hoppe's view of a
post-Keynesian-crash era to his potential triggers for this collapse (such as
gold-energy barter and non-dollar blocs), Casey succinctly reminds us that
there is not just one asset-class bubble but that "we are living in the
middle of the biggest bubble in history."

The
USD ends the week up over 0.6%, Treasury yields down 2-4bps, Silver up 4.6%,
Oil 2%, and Gold 1.4%; but it is VIX that rules the waves of unreality this
week as it collapsed from this morning's unchanged on the week, played catch
down to stocks (from yesterday) and then led stocks on a vol
steepening/compression extravaganza down to 12.31% - its lowest since June 2007
as the 'contingent' extension of the debt-limit appeared the initial trigger
and nothing at all the secondary trigger. AAPL wavered below and tested up to
$500 (amid very large average trade size) but was the distinct loser once again
with size sellers as S&P 500 futures surged (yet agin inferring the unwind
of the long-AAPL, short-ES trade continues). Once the fire was lit, there
was no stopping the stop-chasing momo run in stocks as ES chased all the way up
above the week's highs. VXX was crushed (as the curve also compressed)
and high-yield credit and stocks tracked each other in the rampapalooza. Of
course the moment the day-session close, ES cracked back lower but for now no
one cares (ending up just 5 points in the S&P cash). Average trade size
was high once again in the S&P as the USD, Bonds, and Stocks were bid.

It
is no secret to anyone that as we said some
3 years ago, the world is now engaged in all out currency warfare whose
sole goal is destroying one's own currency faster and more brutally than
"the other guy" can. Because while devaluing one's currency is
imperative in order to return to a viable debt load, about $40 trillion less
than where it is now (as per BCG) by pushing monetary inflation upon one's
people and inflating said debt away, just as important is to stimulate one's
economy and exports which, all else equal, can only be done by making them
cheaper to one's trading partners. It is, after all, a zero sum world. This is
precisely the tug of war that the developed world is caught in currently, where
every attempt is made to talk down one's currency, and when that fails, to
dilute it by printing more of it (the Fed), to backstop it with collateral of
every lower quality (the ECB, although in Europe's case it is more of an
involuntary phenomenon), or just to talk, and talk, ant talk (Japan). Yet while
every country with a self-respecting central bank (i.e., currency printer)
hopes that they will be the ultimate winner of the currency debasement export
race, what has become obvious over the past 30 years, is that when it comes to
specializing in exports, there is just one true winner: a winner which is
self-evident from the chart below.

destroying legislation like the Patriot Act & NDAA, approval of pork barrel
spending to the tune of hundreds of billions, rule by Executive Order, using
ZIRP to extract hundreds of billions from senior citizen savers and give it to
criminal Wall Street banks, forcing the American people at gunpoint to
replenish the Wall Street banks with $700 billion after they had committed the
greatest financial fraud in history, and a continuing trampling of the U.S.
Constitution, the American people continue to remain willfully ignorant of the
truth. The American Dream is dead. We’ve allowed a rich,
privileged, elite few to achieve hegemony over our economic

financial markets. They will collapse the country because they will never be
satisfied with the amount of wealth and power they’ve accumulated. Their
voracious greed will be their downfall.

Sometimes
it is useful to reflect back more than a nanosecond to check one's anchoring
bias. With US equities back at 2007 levels, we thought it may be instructive to
look at what the Fed was thinking - and what the FOMC was looking at - to be
better able to judge their 'forecasts' now. To wit Q4 2007, FOMC... "Economic
growth was solid in the third quarter, and strains in financial markets have
eased somewhat on balance." The reflexivity of the use of
market-based measures to preempt their actions is very clear from the
presentation materials, as, just like now, there was falling current
year EPS expectations but a phoenix-like resurrection due in 2008 based on
analyst's expectations. Furthermore, the expectations for rate
changes from Q4 2007 to Q4 2008 was remarkably modest (even as they
had all the data on subprime delinquencies soaring and monolines collapsing) -
and of course, turned out to be absolutely and utterly incorrect. And yet, we
listen intently to every forecast word they utter?

The
so-called recovery is built on sand, and as stock markets climb and climb, and
more traders and investors turn bullish, we come ever-closer to a new
2008-style collapse. Soaring markets, and soaring speculation. Big finance
using loopholes to speculate bigger and harder. Mainstream financial
journalists becoming more and more complacent about the “recovery”. We’ve been here
before. Isn’t repeating the same behaviour and hoping for
different results the very definition of insanity?

The
most talked about story of the last week was undoubtedly the relentless chatter
about that massive $18 billion in equity fund inflows as reported by Lipper (not
ICI), which tracks primarily institutional and ETF flow of funds, and
which, as
we explained even before the Lipper data came out, was driven exclusively
by a surge in bank deposits into the year end, to be recycled for risk
investment purposes by the commercial banks' own prop desks. The details,
however, were largely ignored by the mainstream media which took that inflow as
an indication that the tide has finally turned and that the great rotation out
of bonds into stocks is on. Turns out that just as we expected it was a year
end calendar asset rebalancing. As Lipper reported earlier, the enthusiasm for
US stocks appears to have abruptly ended, with a whopping $4.2 billion pumped
out of domestic equities, offset by some $4.5 billion invested in non-domestic
equities. The blended flow? Just $286 million going into equities. Now
our math may be a little rusty, but $18 billion followed by $0.2 is not really
indicative of an ongoing rotation out of bonds and into
stocks, and is more indicative of a one-time, non-recurring event, just the
opposite of all the Bank of America addbacks.

This is a very wise, rational move by Germany which should be lost on no one.

area by a "shared sacrifice" instead of going the
default route and demanding even more deficit spending - something that would
naturally saddle the next generation with even more pain, not the current, far
more entitled one - but in this country that is an absolutely ludicrous
proposition. Below is a clip of the entire Christie performance which is a must
see for sheer indignation entertainment value alone.

street (as they cash out worthless paper for bucks/hard assets and
churn-and-earn at lightning/computerized algo program speed) which continue
unprosecuted and unabated and at everyone else’s expense! Everybody’s paying
for the wall street QE/frauds/froth! Huge unaffordable debt increases to mask
the obama failure. Threats by the niggers to step up their already substantial
violence against whites and riot if no obama ‘re-election’ … that’s terrorism!
Unprecedented domestic terrorism! Then the widespread, documented voter fraud
favoring obama … not a peep from the ‘status-quo, don’t rock the boat, happy to
be there’ republicans. Why bail out wobama? Nothing will be solved by
satisficing here! This last minute cramdown is what they’ve opted for by
unreasonable, unaffordable, politically motivated intransigence! The nation’s
broke! The niggers are pulling down their unaffordable freebies like never
before. The extended unemployment benefits are so rich, who’d ever want to
work? Time to say no to the niggers! A bit of intestinal fortitude required!

rationally strategic ‘undoing’ of various ‘fiscal cliff’ unpleasantries can be
undone after the fact of the ‘obama 4 years in the making failure’ with sound,

violent rapes on the rise along with other serious violent among other crimes

On
this lackluster Boxing Day dominated by illiquid moves in every asset class, we
thought a few succinct minutes spent comprehending the US and European
government policies of social welfare and their outcomes was time well spent.
Canadian MP Pierre Poilievre delivers a rather epic speech destroying the myths
of US and European 'wealth' noting that "Once the US citizen is in debt,
the US government encourages them to stay in debt,"
noting that "the US government encouraged millions of Americans to spend
money they did not have on homes they could not afford using loans they could
never repay and then gave them a tax incentive never to repay it." His
message, delivered seamlessly, notes the inordinate rise in the cost of all
this borrowing, adding that "through debt interest alone, soon the US
taxpayer will be funding 100% of the Chinese Military complex." From
Dependence to Debt to the Welfare State and back to Dependence, this
presentation puts incredible context on the false hope so many believe in the
US and Europe. Everyone takes, nobody makes, work doesn't pay,
indulgence doesn't cost, money is free, and money is worthless. Must
watch.

Minutes
before Michigan Governor Snyder signed the 'Right-To-Work' bill into law,
Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa appeared on CNN,as seen in the clip below,
warning that: "This is just the first round of a battle that's going
to divide this state. We're going to have a civil war,"
as the bill to weaken unions' power is passed.
{ There is an exception
to the hearsay rule known as a dying declaration; the rationale being that a
person would not ‘go to his maker’ with a false statement/declaration to ‘taint
his soul’. Interestingly, I had occasion to know a very intelligent, learned
man who was indeed dying, in a death spiral if you will. A lawyer by
profession, he had taken an interest in another lawyer’s history; none other
than Abraham Lincoln himself. Curiously I thought at the time, though even
then, some decades ago (long before the internet), I realized that you were
never getting the whole, correct, true story from american media, history as
written, etc.. ( I was fortunate in sixth grade to have had a great teacher,
James Bresnahan, who allowed for ‘expansive’/accelerated learning in what he
took the time and trouble to provide as an advanced reading group. Among the
subjects was that knowledge/thinking tainting phenomena known more commonly as
propaganda). After all, a long dead president; and, one who famously suffered
from recurring bouts of severe depression could hardly be the object of, from
my view, intense intellectual interest and scrutiny. Yet, he was fixated on
what he deemed a somewhat surprising revelation; viz., from his intense study,
Abe was not ‘Honest Abe’ but rather, was a thief. I was aware that in fact,
Lincoln found niggers somewhat appalling and initially opposed ending slavery
as well as those who favored same, viz., the abolitionists, etc. (niggers are a
same old old story of lazy, unproductive, inherently very uncivilized criminal
people who are fun-luvin’ for games, partying, and getting high only. Even the incisive Shakespeare
euphemistically referred to the ‘typicality’ of the inherently untrustworthy and
without sense of honor, ‘noir’ [french for black]). The ultimate consummate
politician (as a lawyer, Lincoln famously took a contrary position not long
before saying he thought he then was right but now taking the opposite position
now knew he was right … riiiiight! ‘Honest Abe’), Lincoln ultimately did, in
rallying his ‘stalwarts’, back the abolitionist cause. I personally feel the
people of the south were foolish in bringing vanquished niggers, sold into
slavery by other niggers who vanquished them, to this already now recently
blemished land. Moreover, as today, the niggers (and the abolitionist cause)
had provided fodder for politics of all
sorts, including that of Lincoln. Indeed, even today, spielberg who is famous
for his pro-jewish ‘politicking’/propaganda (even the first Indiana Jones movie
was heavy on the Arab/Nazi transference propaganda) has found a way to make
film-making pay for him and the democratic party by way of the misguided,
inaccurate view of Lincoln as the anti-slavery icon he is speciously depicted
as. Civil war? Hoffa, like his mob-connected, then disconnected (permanently)
father is old news. The truth is that their own done them in (as was so of
hoffa’s father) with NAFTA, etc., as they themselves foolishly laughed at their
real would-be saviors, ie., Ross Perot, etc.. The reality is, there is
literally nothing that can’t be produced better and cheaper and without paying
the shake-down bribe from the teamsters et als for doing absolutely nothing (as
is true with the other niggers, et als, entitlements, etc.), elsewhere.

Eleven
states made Forbes'
list of danger spots for investors including California, New York,
Illinois, and Ohio. They warned (and with the cliff it is even more
critical), if you have muni bonds in these states - clean up your
portfolio; if your career takes you there - rent, don't buy! Two factors
determine their list of 'fiscal hellholes'. The first is whether there are more
takers (someone who draws money from the government) than makers (the gainfully
employed). The second is a state
credit-worthiness score (via Conning) based on large debts, uncompetitive
business climates, weak home prices, and bad trends in employment. Conning
rates North Dakota the safest state to lend money to, Connecticut the most
hazardous. A state qualifies for the Forbes' death spiral list if its
taker/maker ratio exceeds 1.0 and it resides in the bottom half of Conning’s ranking. See below for the 11 states to avoid...no matter
what Bob Toll, Larry Yun, Bob Pisani, or Alexandra Lebenthal tells you..
Between 2010 and 2011, New Jersey’s GDP contracted by 0.5% — more than all but three states. The state’s median household income and poverty rate both ranked third in the nation. On the other hand, the state’s tax burden on its residents was second highest in the U.S. in 2010. Residents paid 12.4% of their income in state and local taxes — higher than any other state except neighboring New York. The state has budget problems, as well, according to the 24/7 Wall St. analysis. New Jersey’s debt as a percentage of revenue was 91.6%, the fifth-highest of all states.

a few months back we noted the
FBI's arrest of Tony Mack, the Mayor of New Jersey's salubrious capital
Trenton. Today, via AP, the mayor and his brother have been indicted on eight
counts of extortion, bribery, and mail and wire fraud. The Mayor has continued
in his position - even since the September arrest - but the federal
indictment relates to an alleged scheme to accept $119,000 in bribes in
exchange for his influence in the development of a garage on city-owned land.

little real significant results (an example would be the brutalizing of Martha

trillions by the biggest players have gone unprosecuted). I believe reasonable
diligence requires self-reliance more than ever before in this nation’s

calling a spade a spade to the substantial detriment of law enforcement! ]
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…’

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. [ website archived links http://albertpeia.com/uscocainedistributionfiles.htm

Guest Post: The West Has Just
Become A Giant Banana Republic
ZeroHedge.com by Tyler Durden { Yeah! This really is too true for words!
It’s been my direct experience
for quite some time now and is quite a pathetic scenario! } Legal precedent means nothing. Rule of law means
nothing. Free speech means nothing. Their own treaties mean nothing. It’s
unbelievable. Anyone in the west who honestly thinks he’s still living in a
free society is either a fool or completely out of touch. If that seems
too radical an idea, consider that ECUADOR is now the only nation which
stands to defend freedom and human rights against an assault from the
United States, the United Kingdom, and their spineless allies. The west
has just become a giant banana republic. Have you hit your breaking point
yet? If not now… when? { { I’m really constrained to
interject my own direct experience with the FBI here; and, I must say I do so
lamentably. If you want no real results vis-à-vis organized crime which now
extends to the upper reaches, highest levels of the corrupt u.s. government, go
to the FBI. I discounted the new jersey FBI as just typical corrupt, mob
infested jersey which thinks in terms of discos/casinos. But, truth be told,
they never ask the ‘tough’ questions of the biggest criminals; ie., the biggest
wall street frauds, cia connected illegal ‘drug ops’ (ops…riiiiight), federal judges ie., trump barry, shiff,
alito, etc.; but, they did go after Martha Stewart in a very big way over a
$45,000 transaction. Wow! You can’t make this stuff up. I also don’t believe their
(understated) crime stats for even a second. I’m beginning to feel
foolish for having even put my full faith and trust in them, much less the ‘federal (judicial) system’ who share the ‘same employer’; and, despite my
antipathy for the mob, probably would have fared ‘more fairly’ with the mobsters
directly who seem to have at least some sense of the magnitude of the fraud
involved and the pervasive corruption of the system and government and maybe a
semblance of honor in this nation of protracted decline. It never would have
occurred to me back when for me, such a choice/decision was clear-cut and
simple. Such a course as mine I no longer could recommend inasmuch as there is
little difference between state/government sponsored crime/corruption and that
perpetrated by other criminal elements, from my direct experience with both,

Lindsay Lohan and Snooki, some federal workers reflect our culture all too
well. (Washington Post) [ Lindsay Lohan? Come on Mr. Milbank, hands off the low
hanging fruit. She’s totally harmless. Jersey ‘italian’ snooki? In mob infested
new jersey, who knows (one of the properties in my proceedings for which
surplus funds are unaccounted for was a top floor balconied 2 bedroom 1 and 1/2

held close to vest
EXCLUSIVE | Documents and interviews show FBI and Justice Department officials
took steps to control information uncovered by a task force designed to examine
cases involving discredited agents. Many defendants were never notified of
flaws in cases. ‘Simply unconscionable’ (Washington Post) [ Well, I really have to say this.
I’m
awaiting word from the FBI as to resolution, one way or the other, concerning the
RICO matters which have been systematically and corruptly covered up by the
government (executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the pervasively
corrupt, defacto bankrupt u.s. government http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/PeiavCoanetals.htm
) . Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed
the level and extent of corruption and criminality within the ranks of the u.s.
government before embarking upon this costly quest for justice and simple
fairness consistent with clear law (infra, regarding the u.s. government’s direct involvement in
the illegal drug trade). In this civil RICO matter, there are no innocent
bystanders; but rather, perpetrators, accomplices, and co-conspirators. When
the fbi agent initially assigned to this matter (Connecticut) abruptly
resigned/retired shortly after a conversation, though not central to my case,
wherein I had said that rudy giuliani’s father had been an (convicted) enforcer for the mob
(served 12 years? in prison, aggravated assault/manslaughter?) and then sent
him documentation owing to his disbelief. Though ultimately ineffectual
vis-à-vis my case, he was a likeable guy for whom I had and still have regard.
I then spoke with FBI Agent Jeff Rasey upon the aforesaid agent’s departure who somewhat
plaintively (‘my
call being a burden’) told me that ‘he was a Ford, and I was a Ferrari’, which he didn’t explain further. Could
anyone tell me what that means? Initially, at new jersey’s FBI office, I was ‘greeted’ by an FBI Agent who
sarcastically asked me whether I was ‘going to the disco that night’ (the documents including
sworn statements delivered to then u.s. attorney sam alito’s office in the same
building disappeared twice along with the initial assistant u.s. attorney
Jonathan Lacey with whom I had reviewed the documentary evidence, documents and
their probative value http://www.albertpeia.com/112208opocoan/ricosummarytoFBIunderpenaltyofperjury.pdf . We all can infer sam alito’s reward / quid pro quo
for his cover-up by his current position on the u.s. supreme
court. There was never a question as to maryanne trump barry’s interest in corrupting
the judicial process as related to her brother’s (trump) casinos. Jersey
city boy louis freeh, labeled by former Prosecutor Larry Klayman as the most
corrupt FBI director ever (see infra, mueller seems no different, and certainly
holder’s
impeachable actions and corrupt behavior/cover-ups fit the mold, ie., fast and
furious, race bias favoring blacks, etc.) apparently covered up the RICO
violations as sent to him, and, with italian citizenship and lucrative insider
deals fits the bill. The FBI Agent Jeff Hayes of the Long Beach Office with
whom I reviewed the RICO documents and confirmed same as indicative of (drug)
money laundering was transferred shortly after meeting with him, as has been so
of FBI Agent Bill Lewis (promoted to Washington FBI headquarters) with whom I
discussed the RICO matter and case disks/dvd’s sent to the LA FBI
office (they printed the documents thereon, as per Agent Lewis), Steven
Martinez, ADIC, here in Los Angeles (see infra). So, as regards FBI flaws,
coverup, etc., I have to believe it based on my own experience and reasonable
inference. I’m
currently being ‘stonewalled’ by the LA FBI office since the departure of FBI
Agent Bill Lewis.
[ .. (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

First
Ohio; Next 'The Moon'? Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 11/08/2012 While
markets are digesting the probabilities of a dramatic rise in taxes and cut in
spending as we approach the fiscal cliff, it appears that behind-the-scenes
there has been a secret plan that we can only imagine is designed to
rocket-boost us over the cliff - new manned missions to the moon. As Space.com
reports, NASA is serious about sending astronauts back to the moon's
neighborhood and will likely unveil its ambitious plans soon now that President
Barack Obama has been re-elected, experts say. They go on to comment that
"The space agency has apparently been thinking about
setting up a manned outpost beyond the moon's far side, both to establish a human presence in deep space
and to build momentum toward a planned visit to an asteroid in 2025. The new plans have
probably already been cleared with the Obama Administration but have been kept
under wraps in case Republican candidate Mitt Romney won Tuesday night's (Nov. 6) presidential
election." While the claims are that this will not increase the budget, we
suspect out-of-this-world manned outposts cost a little more than the $17.7bn
budgeted for NASA in 2013... someone is clearly eating space-cakes.
Ironic
really given our earlier post... {
Riiiiight! Sounds like a plan! After all, the new mooney gold and mooney
diamond mines on the mooney moon will pay for themselves and the mission … The reality though is a
new boondoggle to fleece the treasury/taxpayers…
Astronauts' tracks, trash seen in new moon photos
[ The easiest thing in the world to contrive (don’t forget they can with some
precision today send robotics to ie., mars, etc.) and doctor so don’t be taken
in by their fraudulent b***s***! They’re probably desperately looking for some
money / budgetary consideration for their continued boondoggles. No man has
ever set foot on the moon to date. 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

FLASHBACK: Obama's Sordid High School Past...
By Ben Shapiro ‘While the Washington Post has been diligently
digging into relatively innocent high school pranks
by Mitt Romney, they’ve spent the last few years diligently ignoring President
Obama’s far more controversial high school days.Obama, by all accounts, was a
habitual drug user in high school. He tried cocaine, he admits in Dreams
From My Father; he “tried drugs enthusiastically.” The Chicago Tribune
reported back in 2007 that Obama thanked the “Choom Gang” in his high school
yearbook; “chooming” was Hawaiian slang for smoking pot. The Honolulu
Advertiser reported that Obama’s senior portrait “prominently displayed …
A package of ‘Zig-Zag’ rolling papers and a matchbook.” One of Obama’s close
friends was arrested for drug possession during high school.In his memoir,
Obama talked about routinely getting high. “Junkie. Pothead,” he wrote. “That’s
where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man.”
But, according to Obama, he only got high because he was contemplating deep
matters: drugs could “push questions of who I was out of my mind.” Obama told
students in 2007 that this activity constituted “goofing off” and “wasting
time”:"I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof off in high school
as my mom reminded me," Obama said. "I went to high school in
