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 Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/25/2012 } ] { 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 bs 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.’ Dave’s Daily: http://www.etfdigest.com BIG WEDNESDAY FOR MARKETS 4-25-12 ‘The set-up for the day began with last night’s spectacular earnings news from Apple (AAPL) and continued with Ben’s news conference. 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. Did you know during the 2008 bear market nearly 50% of earnings reports beat estimates. This game continues. Volume was modest especially given the dynamic news background. Breadth per the WSJ was positive…’ , Overnight Sentiment: Overbought, Underconfident Tyler Durden 4-26-12 , European Confidence Tumbles To November 2009 Levels, Euro-Wide Double Dip Inevitable 4-25-12 , Germany Folding?

Simplifying the dilemma to: the Fed cannot raise rates as the dramatic implications for the huge debt load (and implictly the interest expense saving the budget deficit) of the US Government are untenable while at the same time inflation (in the things we need - not just want) is rising notably…’ , Which Came First - The Spending Or The Debt? , Just As Predicted, Initial Claims Miss Huge, Yet Magically Improve Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/26/2012 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.

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. ]

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.

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., Guest Post: Money from Nothing - A Primer on Fake Wealth Creation and its Implications (Part 2) ZeroHedge.com 3-14-12 Only in a debt-based money system could debt be curiously cast as an asset. We’ve made “extend and pretend” a quaint phrase for a burgeoning market for financial lying and profiteering aimed toward preventing the collapse of a debt- (or lack-) based system that was already doomed by its initial design to collapse. , Guest Post: The Audacity of Bonuses At MF Global Durden 3-12-12 In the spirit of George Orwell’s Animal Farm commandment: “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal then others” comes the galling news that bankruptcy trustee, Louis Freeh, could approve the defunct, MF Global to pay bonuses to certain senior executives.
