Obama’s DOJ And Wall Street: Too Big For Jail? Forbes | Why has no one on Wall Street been charged with financial fraud despite Obama’s Financial Fraud Task Force? ,  The Countdown To The Break Up Of The Euro Has Officially Begun  http://albertpeia.com/countdowntoeurobreakup.htm  , Dave’s Daily http://etfdigest.com TWO WAY TUESDAY MARKET ACTION 5-8-12 ‘Markets were selling off hard most of the day on lingering doubts about the fate of the eurozone amid Greece, France and Spain. After hitting some support levels markets rallied sharply into the close led by (ahem) the reliable 2:15 PM Buy Program Express. I should add that our friend Steve Hammer at HFT Alert tweeted that most algos were selling into the late day rally. Beneath the nonsense of sorting out the Greek situation, the real troubles on the front burner are Spain’s banks. Large institutions (Bank Santander & BBVA) have been tarred by the poor perception of bailouts taking place with their smaller peers as noted…’ , Guest Post: The Emperor Is Naked ZeroHedge.com We are in the last innings of a very bad ball game. We are coping with the crash of a 30-year–long debt super-cycle and the aftermath of an unsustainable bubble. Quantitative easing is making it worse by facilitating more public-sector borrowing and preventing debt liquidation in the private sector—both erroneous steps in my view. The federal government is not getting its financial house in order. We are on the edge of a crisis in the bond markets. It has already happened in Europe and will be coming to our neighborhood soon. The Fed is destroying the capital market by pegging and manipulating the price of money and debt capital. Interest rates signal nothing anymore because they are zero. Capital markets are at the heart of capitalism and they are not working…’ , Europe Breaks Again As EURUSD Dips Under 1.3000 , America Will Have Negative Unemployment In January 2022 Taking current trends across all employment indicators, using 12 Month trailing averages in the changes of those employed, unemployed and dropping out the labor force, we can predict, with IMF-level precision, that at the current surge of those leaving the labor force, the US unemployment rate will hit 0.0% in December of 2021 and finally go negative, or -0.1% in January 2022. So there you have it: maybe the BLS can just fast forward us to the end of this thought experiment when everyone will be so fat they couldn't look for a job if they wanted to (recall by 2020 75% of Americans will be obese), but at least the Propaganda Times will be blasting in 24/7 red flashing headlines that, for the first time ever, America's unemployed are now somehow negative, and we can all rejoice while collecting all those welfare stamps bought on negative interest credit funded directly from the uber politburo of the USSA located in the Marriner Eccles building. , Guest Post: Why the Job Market Will Continue Shrinking The paradox of an advanced post-industrial economy is that the number of jobs needed declines even as the cost of living rises. The fundamental dynamic of America's job market is simple: we need relatively few workers to provide the absolute essentials of life even as the cost-basis of the economy inexorably rises. In other words, there are fewer jobs even as the costs of maintaining a "middle class" life rise. The solution to the post-industrial decline of labor is not unproductive "make-work" jobs and borrowing trillions of dollars until the system implodes, it's lowering the cost basis of the entire economy and culture, which means eliminating all the systemic sources of unproductive friction. , China's Government Self-Immolation Progresses As We Expected , Guest Post: The European Union Is Destroying European Unity , European Credit Risk Surges Near 4-Month Highs , Santelli On The Encumbered Youth Of The US , Is EURUSD 1.20 In The Cards? , Biderman Sums Up Europe's Problem In 30 Seconds After an extended and detailed rant against the BLS and their ineptitude, which is worth watching in its own right, Charles Biderman (CEO of TrimTabs) sums up Europe's troubles and hopes in 30 seconds. Towards the end of the clip, Biderman notes that Monsier Hollande is saying that governments should borrow more money so they can give more money to more people and THAT will create economic growth. Instead, Charles sees Europe sliding down a slippery slope faster and faster with no end in sight. , As China Buys, Sellers Push Gold Down To 4 Month Lows , Greek Stocks Plummet To 20-Year Lows , Fitch Sets The Stage: "Greece Leaving The Euro Would Be Bearable" , On Europe's Phantom Austerity Spending Cuts , Economic Alert: If You’re Not Worried Yet…You Should Be , Greek Left Coalition Leaders Says Bailout Accord "Null And Void", Demands Greek Debt Moratorium , The World from Berlin: ‘Germans Won’t Pay for Greece’s Vacation from Reality’ (Der Spiegel) ,  The Way The Pentagon Is Predicting Your Potential To Become A National Threat Is Frightening Business Insider | Tom Cruise made “pre-crime’” a futuresque and controversial method of law enforcement in the 2002 movie Minority Report. { The business of war … now you know, along with the frauds on wall street, where all your tax dollars went and how the nation’s insurmountable debt-load and defacto bankruptcy came to be… http://albertpeia.com/wherehaveallthetaxdollarsgone.htm  , Officials: Al-Qaida underwear bomber worked for CIA ,  After The Government Microchips Our Soldiers, How Long Will It Be Before They Want To Put A Microchip In YOU   http://albertpeia.com/governmentchippinaway.htm

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) 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 GlobalIn 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. This, despite the fact that nearly $1.6 billion of customer funds remains “missing” or otherwise partially accounted for, yet beyond the reach of those customers, perhaps forever, since before the firm declared bankruptcy on October 31, 2011... ,
