Stacy Summary: I didn’t seek these headlines out, they found me! The headlines are just filled with the same old stuff of the past hundreds or thousands of years! The more stuff happens, the more stuff stays the same. What else are you reading??
The scale of credit rot in the Russian banking system exposed by Fitch Ratings this week is truly staggering. The report is yet another cold douche to those betting that the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) can pull us out of our mess.
Updates:
Stacy: Remember that U3 only captures those who haven’t fallen off the unemployment rolls after the 9 months one is allowed on. U6 is the broader measure that was used before Clinton and is better to use if you want to compare this Depression to the 1930′s. The U6 number must now be at about 20% is now over 20%. Wait for a new band called U6 to be the new UB-40.

Many people here reefer to Canada Day(july1) as Cannabis Day. BBC World recently did a report on Cannada cannabis culture,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCCBLvUsorI
also National Geographic did an show on the subject, Marijuana Nation.
The Union, the business behind getting high. Is another documenary, focusing on BC bud industry.
If you have not watched the Run From the Cure: The Rick Simpson Story. It is a must. Do not pass it up!

@Tbone
Good post.
In Re: A ‘cold douche’ to those betting on Brics?
Since the fall of the Soviet Union, when the state owned the country’s only bank, over two thousand banks have sprung up, and more than 95 percent of them are believed to be owned by, or at least controlled by, Russian organized criminal groups.
Professionally trained and highly qualified former KGB agents have become Russia’s most capable drug traffickers and laundrymen.
Russia boasts to having one of the lowest bank robbery rates in the world, but the contract-killing rate has soared: Mostly legitimate bankers and prominent businessmen, as organized crime usurped legitimate money.
Between 1992 & 95, Swiss authorities admitted that at least $54 billion had been deposited into Swiss Banks by Russia. Much Russian money was laundered into financial vehicles such as tax-exempt Italian bearer bonds; and into other world banks.
In summary, Russian banks are solely run for the benefit of criminal enterprise; and, legitimate International Russian businesses have largely opted out of that system. So Russian banking balance sheets have less to do with the over all health of International Russian enterprise than you may think. In fact, Inter-Bric trading is very much alive and well. For instance, unlike their Euro-American criminal counterparts who attenuate fuel supply, the Russians have developed new refineries, and currently opening up a great deal of Inter-Bric fuel trade.
Moreover, the Brazilians have a clever economic man, Guido Mantega, who was a party to the authoring of the terms & conditions of TARP. Even his daughter here in NYC is working to supply their banks with some extremely advanced world currency trading software.
Clearly the masters of the Amero-European race have managed to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Meanwhile, Bric has many resources, including people power, upon which it relies; and, it has learned from the mistakes of others. The future of these two groups is as utterly divergent as it is obvious.
@ ispice,
Thanks for that, I will ask around to see if I can get any.
Cannabis day in Canada? Brilliant. I thought about moving to Canada and that’s made me think again. Problem is getting a visa as I understand they’re quite strict.
@sharon
Cannabis is an amzing plant no two ways about it, more like several ways. The seed is often touted as being, “The most nutritionally complete food source on the planet.” Its fibre is the longest most used fibre in our history. The wiki lays it out better
Its medicine is as you have researched, very powerfull, with wide application, curing/preventing cancer at the pinnacle.
Aquiring some high quality cannabis is the difficult aspect, growing it can take too long in many major medicinal cases.
Im not sure what to suggest, the internet imo is not a good place to find any. If you have any friends or family that indulge, I would suggest asking them for help.
Welcome to the world of the insanity that is prohibition.
I guess another bonus to GB’s offer to others to come to come to Canada. We just celebrated Cannabis Day here, we’ve replaced our Countries birthday for our unofficial plant.
peace
@Mr Supergeek – I may have mistaken you general trend observation to be some more addressed to my post, I am sorry for that.
@Palantíri
Look that’s the second time I’ve spelt your name correctly…..cool huh.
I made an obsevation about a general trend, I was a little bit sarcastic well…no duh…hardly political opression, so please don’t be hypersensitive or paranoid, talk about whatever you like, have an opinion never hold back, please don’t feel persecuted…….unless you that is you enjoy feeling that way in which case carry on….but c’mon even you must see the humour in the fact that a lot of the ‘illuminated’regulars who comment on this site openly admit to being unhappy or angry about the way society/the world is heading, see themselves as outsiders or would like to live outside or above the staus quo or even develop new strategies for a alternative better future…fine good for Y’All…But what immigrants are supposed to be happy citizens want to join in adapt and accept something we are leaving behind and like to spend hours dismantling complaining about or trying to repair….I think mankinds problems and malaise/ illness call it what you like runs a lot deeper than what country you find yourself in, don’t mistake symptons with the illness and that applys to nationals and immigrants.
Peace,Love and Power
@GD
Cheers for the invite ‘come to canada’ now that might be the funniest thing you’ve ever written…….of course you aint got any problems with immigration….frikkin canada for gawds sake…virtually one way traffic my canadian friends would live in remotest parts of scotland, australia/nz anywhere it seems just not canada….which probably will work in your favour one day soon and you will have the last laugh…but for now…ha, ha..canada.what streets that on…peace
@Mr Supergeek – immigration is a good thing, when people come for the reason of better work, economic, opportunity and so on. People seeking asylum is also welcome, if the nation has the capacity to take care of the real troubled ones that need to flee their own country to a safe haven. In large most immigrants blend inn perfectly and with some time they contribute back to the country as well. On the other side, there are ghettos of people unwilling to adapt to their new country, learn the language and so on, famously in the extreme case of Malmö, the same pattern is to be seen in many cities. I don’t care too much about that. It is a subject that should be talked about, I feel like you Mr Supergeek closes an eye to the situation ignoring it as best as you can while trying to discredit others that do talk about it (sarcastic illuminated people crap). One does not have to be an extreme right wing person to have an opinion or to express a feeling about this. Be realistic, as Gerald Celente always says: I look at the things for the way they are, not the way I want them to be. (the quote is just to make me look smart ha-ha)
@Mr. Supergeek
I don’t have a problem with immigration…
Come to Canada…
we have plenty of room UP NORTH…
although our welfare system isn’t as good as Sweden’s
And you’ll likely have some problems with the frost-bite and Wild-life, but it’s all good…
RE:Italy’s shiny new Anti-illegal immigration law
Italy has a problem with the “boat-people”
so to see Berlusconi’s Coalition gov’t (note that LEGA NORD is instrumental there) passing a bill against it, is no surprise…
Back in the winter, when I was there,
L’Unita (a communist/Socialist newspaper)
had an article detailing where and how the illegal immigrants would enter Europe…
Italy is one of the main gateways…
apparently it costs the EU 5000Euros per person to send these poor unfortunate souls BACK to their countries of origin…
and that seems to cause some people to get upset…
If Italy is sprouting new “Camice Nera” squads
it’s probably coming from the Forza Nuova political group….
they are the Neo-Fascists, and even though they claim to not be racist, their actions and propaganda would suggest otherwise…
@S.herbert
Yeah…(I’ve seen red indians only twice in england aboriginees even less moaris quite a few of I use this as an indicator of how efficient the racism in a country has been)
Freedom of travel is an issue but it would be nice if people could make a better life without tavelling half way around the world and being an ‘economic refugee’
Sometimes it seems between the lines people are saying ‘why don’t they send us any rich immigrants happy ones who arent just here for quick money ‘
all these illuminated people with immigration problems should get a grip and realise who the real victims of the bankers and western domination really are…and always have been…the underclass of slaves that do most of the low paid jobs when nobody else will…every big capitalist country needs a turnover of fresh willing slaves to continue operating…
And, as if on cue, Italy passes law today allowing citizen patrols to keep out illegal immigrants:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8132084.stm
and . . .
I might add, however, that I am watching the Ken Burns series, The West. And, despite the portrayals of Indians being violent, the Native American Indians were rather welcoming to the new immigrants. It is only later that there was so much conflict and even then it was like a tribal group of 200 versus an army of 600.
the unemployment in the inner city among young black males must be somewhere around 30 percent by now. If not more.
@Mr Supergeek – jepp, you are going too far! its like alcohol, a drink or two could be a rather good experience, but whole barrel in one belly in a short time…well… I let your mind go from there.
@Mr Supergeek – yes, I have noticed across most finance blogs a growing number of this kind of stuff in the comments section; but you also see it in the real world news from Italy where the Roma are being violently chased out to the far right wins in Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands; to the recent anti-immigrant violence in Northern Ireland and the two relatively unreported white supremacist planned attacks thwarted in UK . . . this sort of response obviously favors politicians and bankers who run things as it is not only ugly and therefore unsympathetic but it perpetuates the situation of the peasants killing each other rather than changing the system; as I have said before freedom to move should be allowed for humans if for capital and, again, to mention the book I am reading, The History of Trade, most of history was this way. Individuals were free to move from location to location and trade along the way (mind you, there was massive, insane risk in any long distance travel at that time). And not to say that there weren’t crazed killings of outsiders any time a plague or some sort of societal meltdown took place.
@ all,
Many thanks for coming back to me on the Hemp oil. I think ispice is right, the only way to get it is to grow the cannabis and then remove the oil as per the phoenixTears website. The reason being that actual hemp oil (not hemp SEED oil) is illegal. I can’t help thinking that its illegality has something to do with the fact that it is an incredible cure for many illnesses (not really surprising given that it is a natural plant that grows in abundance through much of the world – mother nature put it there for some reason). Clearly, it would be a huge threat to the profit-making schemes of the pharmaceutical industry.
Anyway I was hoping I could buy some rather than buying the plants and growing it at home, you’d think someone, somewhere on the internet would be selling this even if it is illegal but I guess not. Anyway, thanks again.
anutha regular with immigration issues wow….quite common for this site, does it come free with ‘illumination’…Damn if anymore own up to being Reagan/Thatcher or bnp supporters we may need a breakaway/splinter group we could call you ‘The MK Ultras’ get you some uniforms or am I going too far…maybe just little lapel badges.
@Giuseppe – well Sweden has a good reason to whine about immigrants, you would be surprised by the huge ghettos there is and people there are not all that friendly. It is a shame because we all should have immigration but when it turns out like that it’s not good at all.
@Phil
I know the place your at cause I’ve bin there and somtimes it gets to me too. That is a good sign that you are in the know and that makes you very angry.
But to reach out to other people who are not yet in the know we are writing and blogging and making great TV and Radio shows like Max & Stacy, Alex Jones, Bob Chapman. Peter Schif and others.
Somtimes we’ve gott take a step back from the helicopter view cause otherwise people don’t understand us at all so we gotta be patient with them and start at a level they can comprihend instaed of bouncing them back for the horror truth which we know it is.
I’ve been studying the planet X-story but havn’t found conclusive evidence yet. There are a lot of amateur astronomers out there and they didn’t see anything, it’s being asked again cause I have spoken to one of them. I do know that NASA is bussy, as we speak, classifying all incoming metorites and their potential danger but if we find a dangerous one we can’t do anything about it so knowing or not knowing the result is the same.
What is more actual worrying is the LACK OF SUNSPOTS which didn’t happen for more than a hundred years. Ouer track record of sunspots goes back before the Industrial revolution. Those who keep an eye on the sun say this is the quietest sun in almost a century. So, what does this all mean? http://tinyurl.com/cnkmlv You didn’t know this? Well thank your and mine mainsteam media again.
There are some scientist who take about changing magma streams inside the Earth. There are scientist talking about sudden explosion of sunspots causing a lot of radiation.
They are planning to detonate a bomb on the moon. The large Hadron Collider in Bern tries to find stranglets – small black holes. Matters which are in our reach which planet X isn’t even if it existed we can do nothing about it. Can go on for houers here but getting pretty off topic and we elaborate later on.
Hopefully this was somewhat of a help.
Maybe we’re all missing the point ?
When you see what seems to be all the BLATANT corruption and destruction of our financial system , it is really almost UN-believable; except it’s fact.
Remember the missing Pentagon Trillions in 1999 & 2000 ? … that was “forgotten” quickly now wasn’t it !
You hear about seed-banks, FEMA camps and coffins, and Obama says nothing about such “rumours”.
Then there’s Biden’s BIG warning “in 6 months, mark my words” etc. etc.
Keepig my feet-on-the-ground, I agree 100% with everyone here that the US Finiancial System is one massive Ponzi-scheme .
OTOH … maybe there’s a “bigger cause” behind it all ?
e.g.
# does planet-X really exist ?
# were those “missing” Trillions used for preparations ?
We have …
# 2012 – planet-X
#2029 – meteor pass, returning in 2036 maybe too closely?
Thoughts ?
Good morning all.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM ARTICLE: http://tinyurl.com/nrjp3t
The mission: unwind AIGFP’s portfolio of 44,000 often complex, long-dated derivatives with a notional value of $2 trillion,
Paris-based Societe Generale got $16.5 billion in collateral and other payments from late 2007 through 2008; New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. received $14 billion; Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank AG, $8.5 billion; and Merrill Lynch & Co., $6.2 billion.
The payments were triggered by the credit-rating downgrades of AIG and declines in the market value of the assets protected by the swaps. The most volatile of those assets were collateralized-debt obligations, or CDOs, which are agglomerations of subprime mortgages and other debt that are divided up and sliced into tranches, each of which has a different risk and income stream.
“There was no reason to pay the contracts in full,” says Janet Tavakoli, founder of Tavakoli Structured Finance Inc. in Chicago and author of “Dear Mr. Buffett: What an Investor Learns 1,269 Miles From Wall Street” (Wiley, 2009). “We’ve run roughshod over the interests of the American taxpayer; we’ve bailed out the Wall Street creditors; we’ve used AIG as a huge slush fund.”
“They didn’t understand the meaning of risk management.”
That left derivatives with a notional value of some $1.8 trillion for Pasciucco to deal with at year-end.
The report that Pasciucco brandishes shows that the value of the derivatives still to be unwound had fallen 16.7 percent to $1.5 trillion as of May 12.
The blowup happened only because AIG couldn’t come up with the collateral on fewer than 200 CDO swaps
One of Pasciucco’s priorities when he took over was to get out of a $7 billion derivatives business called power reverse duals, or PRDs. These were essentially bets against the consensus view on the yen’s strength versus the U.S. dollar. The derivatives are extremely long dated, expiring 30 years or more in the future. The PRDs were costing tens of millions of dollars a year to hedge, which is done by constantly adjusting a variety of offsetting put options, call options and futures.
Greenberg agreed to the setup with a key condition: that Sosin and his crew do nothing to imperil AIG’s AAA credit rating, according to Sosin. They didn’t, taking care to minimize risk, according to Sosin and former colleagues. All trades were hedged. The average counterparty was rated AA. Any bond falling below BBB was immediately sold.
In addition to interest-rate swaps, the firm wrote currency swaps — which let a buyer insure against volatility in the foreign exchange market — and moved into equity derivatives, which are instruments tied to the price of an underlying stock or index. AIGFP helped finance its operations by selling guaranteed investment contracts, or GICs, which provide municipalities a place to park cash in exchange for a guaranteed return.

The PRDs were costing tens of millions of dollars a year to hedge, which is done by constantly adjusting a variety of offsetting put options, call options and futures.
In 1998, Savage and Cassano oversaw AIGFP’s first foray into CDSs. The swaps it sold are sometimes referred to as regulatory capital trades because they’re designed to reduce a bank’s obligation to hold capital against its loans, according to AIG’s 2008 annual report. By buying credit insurance on those loans, banks could reduce their capital requirements, the report says.
The first AIGFP CDSs were sold to European banks through AIG’s Banque AIG subsidiary in Paris. Greenberg deemed them sufficiently safe that he considered it unnecessary to hedge them, according to his congressional testimony. By Sept. 30, 2008, AIG had $250 billion in net notional CDS exposure to such loans, and has had no material losses on them, Pasciucco says.
AIG’s potential CDO exposure rose to $40 billion under Greenberg.
they were mostly unhedged, and by the time the subprime crisis began to gather steam in 2007, it would have been prohibitively expensive to hedge them, the employees say.
The swaps’ terms required AIG to post billions of dollars of collateral if its credit rating was cut.
“The people at AIG were basically the laughingstocks of derivatives desks around the country,
some of the people who wrote those swaps had campaigned to start shorting the subprime mortgage market as early as 2006, only to be overruled by Cassano, Pasciucco says.
Dealers also agreed to make public all derivative trades in the CDS market by July 17.

@Sharon (and the rest of the confused)
Hemp Oil is the FATTY oil extracted from SEEDS
when you see “cold pressed” they are referring to the seed-oil (which has several health benefits of its own)
HASH-oil, is probably what you are referring too…
and last I checked, it is illegal in most parts of the “free” world
best way to make it is extraction with ETHANOL (i.e. grain alcohol)
Don’t fuck around with ISOPROPANOL (alters the chemical structure somewhat),
or Butane (strange process where you “soak” the weed in the freezer, and then bring it out into the open air after filtering to evaporate the filtered liquid… potentially carcinogenic)
ETHER is actually an excellent solvent as well (it doesn’t extract the chlorophyll which is how most alcohol methods work and winds up making it GREEN)
The ideal colour is GOLDEN… although RED OIL is also quite potent…
and yes…
1/10th -1/8 of a GRAM of Hash-oil will be MORE than therapeutic…
(The first time I ate some oil cookies, I was flying high for 6+hours… scared the shit out of me, actually)
but even simmering Ganja in butter for 15-30 minutes and then making Banana Bread or some delicacy is a wonderful way to ingest it…
@Max !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for that . . . fricking hilarious. What a cool bird.
#1 strategy (from comments on zerohedge)
(1) As seen from the following data, even if small percentage (say 1%) of financial assets is converted into physical currency or gold, it would bring down the whole corrupt financial structure. (I have done this for myself.) It is so easy to blow this “Washington-Wall Street Axis”. You do not need any guns, you do not need to convince your senator, you do not need to count on regulators. Just convert your wealth into physical currency or gold and watch the show from sidelines!
Total financial assets in US are $140 Trillion (Source: Z1 release Federal Reserve)
Currency in circulation is $ 1 Trillion
Gold at Federal Reserve is $250 Billion
(2) Elections are useless. It’s time to vote with your feet/wallet. Money is the only language these bastards understand.
So Max is to appear on Radio paranoid schizophrenia……………………Mmmmm Enjoy.

@Giuseppe – the book is called A SPLENDID EXCHANGE: HOW TRADE SHAPED THE WORLD” by William Bernstein. A listener of our show from Canada sent it to us as a gift and it is awesome.
The interesting thing for me is just how OLD free trade is. It’s been around for literally thousands of years. And reading the book makes the politicians and neo-libs running around shouting so much and so constantly as if they had discovered something new when it seems to be the way men/humans naturally behave.
Oh and the stories of just how dangerous it used to be to be a trader are real fun to read. It’s amazing that trade ever happened at all.

Uninsured face stiff penalty in Senate health bill

… “WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans who refuse to buy affordable medical coverage could be hit with fines of more than $1,000 under a health care overhaul bill unveiled Thursday by key Senate Democrats looking to fulfill President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the fines will raise around $36 billion over 10 years. Senate aides said the penalties would be modeled on the approach taken by Massachusetts, which now imposes a fine of about $1,000 a year on individuals who refuse to get coverage. Under the federal legislation, families would pay higher penalties than individuals. “….

Hemp oil is essentially hashish. It is produced by extracting the active compounds in cannabis.
If you have not watched “Phoenix Tears: The Rick Simpson story” Do so asap.
Then aquire some high grade ganja and extract the medicine from the flowers, with a pure alcohol preferably.
A pound extracted, taken over 3 or less months is the ammount recommended to cure. It is required to ingest not inhale to acheive full results.

@ all,
Some of the earlier posts on this topic refer to some sort of catastrophe in the next 6 months, poss an nuke. I’m wondering if this ties in with the recent story about US gov having told all their embassies to go out and get lots of local currency. If so, does anyone know why the UK pound (sterling) has been excluded? Could it be that the nuke is heading for Britain and that’s why sterling is not required or am I just way too paranoid?
Also, does anyone happen to know where I can get Hemp Oil (not Hemp Seed oil). I need to get some for my mom who is terminally ill and I’ve heard that hemp oil is a brilliant cure for many ills.

re Alex Jones
Max, you are highly entertaining, smart and creative. However, sometimes your mind moves too fast and may get in the way of getting a clear point (for a broader audience). I like your style and have listened to most of what you have put out there. I am worried that people do not have the education and cannot connect the dots on some these more salient issues, such as GS, program trading and the current state of finance. (schiff does a pretty good-excellent job on economics).
You can either:
(1) just be Max — which is excellent, informative, entertaining
(2) focus on GS — as jones focuses on bilderberg — that will tie in tightly with his interests
(3) focus on 1 core issue in depth — eg program trading and its current state (June-July 09)
(4) sweep through some specific points that paint a picture for people
eg, people do not know about U6 and cannot wake up to the fact that they have to learn about this data themselves and look to somewhere to get their information and not depend upon msm. this is like learning the abc’s to what is going on with the economy (and the implications of bureaucrat as agent). yet we cannot read!
eg, people need action points — most people need to be shown what to do. that is why some lead and everyone else follows. anyone bringing “hope” wins in this game. you are highly creative and karmabanque and piratemyfilm are sort of esoteric for a broader audience, i believe.
I think you have strong populous appeal and in that way “just being Max” …just saying anything works. But my fear is that people are not “investing” the time to appropriately understand what are the root issues going on with the “elite” forces (financial, msm, political, agency) and need some 10k feet exposure to what are the problems and where to go and find out more…and some motivation.
We all need a kick in the ass.
glad the U6 is being referenced to. what a scam by politicians to augment the data so that employment looks more favorable. sadly, we don’t have the critical thinking skills in the ol’ USA to understand these implications. let’s compare apples to apples. or at least make the appropriate associations as now is not the 1920s and we have a different economy and a different populous. but let’s reason and understand the differences and the implications of those differences.
the USA is going to continue to suck in relative competitiveness if we cannot understand what is happening to our economy — via both the financial elite AND the bureaucratic elite.
how are we going to survive much less thrive if we cannot see THE real story of what is going on. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE EMPLOYMENT NUMBERS. and the MSM suckkkkks and needs to die.

Just got back from the Adirondacks, where I lived in the good kind of tent city for a week. Am catching up on news now, b/c the few ways to get Internet access there are to use the computers at the community library (extremely slow connection speed and only 3 computers), drive to Tupper Lake and pay to use the Wi-Fi connection at McDonalds, or sit around somewhere in Tupper Lake using the iPhone’s slow 3G network.

@Youri,……was only kidding with ya,…I’ve an open mind
The German Finanzminister Peer Steinbrueck has been laying into the british government again, accusing them of taking on wholesale the demands of the city (of London), and thus reenging on deals made at the finance summit in April:
http://www.sueddeutsche.de/finanzen/567/477064/text/

9..5%! 9.5%! Higher! More! Break the system. Even this sanitized number feels too soft.
Anyway, it seems to me that more people unemployed means more cocktail parties for Obama. What a fun that idiot has. I hope he chokes on an olive soon (he isn’t the sort to eat pretzels, I think).
Stacy….The U-6 number stands at 16.5 %, not over 20%, but the stats are still grim….this is from Mish’s site
Grim Statistics
The official unemployment rate is 9.5% and rising. However, if you start counting all the people that want a job but gave up, all the people with part-time jobs that want a full-time job, all the people who dropped off the unemployment rolls because their unemployment benefits ran out, etc., you get a closer picture of what the unemployment rate is. That number is in the last row labeled U-6.
It reflects how unemployment feels to the average Joe on the street. U-6 is 16.5%. Both U-6 and U-3 (the so called “official” unemployment number) are poised to rise further although most likely at a slower pace than earlier this year.
Looking ahead, I expect the service sector to continue to weaken. Mall vacancy rates are rising and a huge contraction in commercial real estate is finally started. There is no driver for jobs and states in forced cutback mode are making matters far worse.
Unemployment is likely to continue rising until sometime in 2010.

The posting was only briefly frontpage news. There were no assisting editorials against the deployment of US troops for a war that is fabricated nonsense.
An antiwar movement would bring to light the hypocrisy of the Obama dictatorial regime. Here is a brave press reporter asking about “change” in the White House:
http://www.infowars.com/media-grows-a-spine-grills-gibbs-over-prepackaged-questions-for-obama/
An antiwar movement would save lives, here and abroad. It would focus press attention on the backdoor arms deals fueling further conflict. It would rescue a complacent and apathetic American youth from unquestioning compliance with the war machine.
An antiwar movement would shift public opinion, cut off financing for outrageous wars backed by falacious claims, and starve the beast thoroughly. An antiwar movement would call to question the slavering unspoken rule of loyalty to the Obama administration and the US federal government advancement at the back of media and public opinion in the US. What is good for our country is not what is good for Washington nor it’s corporate sponsors.

During the depression U6 reached 37%. They didn’t count people that worked on farms which 21% of Americans did back then. The Government is so full of it don’t add in Food and Fuel to inflation and don’t add part time or discouraged workers.
Just remember the Bilderbergers are advocating a world population limit of 275,000,000 souls. This would represent a 95% reduction from our present population of six billion. Should their nefarious plans come to fruition, rotting corpses would be clogging the thoroughfares. Also, these “leaders” have found some way to live almost forever. David Rockefeller is still kicking at 94 years of age; Henry Kissinger is 86; Prince Philip is 88; and Prince Bernhard made it to 93 at the time of his demise in ’04. It seems if Vampires can avoid exposure to sunlight and wooden stakes, they can take a-licking but keep on a-ticking.
It’s probably past time to mount any effective political protest against the depopulation goals of the global elitists. I fear the only viable solution to long-term survival for the masses rests in becoming familiar with the following work:

Mr. Keiser spoke yesterday about an inequality strengthening: risk and loss to taxpayers, capital and gain for insiders (TBTF banks and monopolies). What is happening in America is exactly as Max describes. Please realize that after PPIP, America will change entirely. The banks-police state-corporations-media-government machine will rise up as one body. It is the Hegelian state come to life.
One of the worst offenders in the looting and obfuscation of illicit actions has been, IMHO, Mr. Bill Gross, a first-in-line contender for PPIP contracts, and a weasel operative for Allianz Group, a German insurance company that owns PIMCO.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/business/21gross.html?_r=1
Mr. Gross has a recent essay which accurately predicts what the elite have achieved in America. Here is the link:
http://www.pimco.com/LeftNav/Featured+Market+Commentary/IO/2009/Investment+Outlook+July+2009+Gross+Appetit.htm
The title “Bon Appetit or No Appetit” relays to the average American investor that the pie has now been divided unfairly, and Mr. Gross describes the slice left for the American citizen:
“But to add to the woes of the investor class, one has only to observe that their share of the pie is shrinking.”
Mr. Gross, fortunately, has been “shaking hands with the government.”
http://www.pimco.com/LeftNav/Featured+Market+Commentary/IO/2009/IO+Gross+Jan+09+Andrew+Mellon+vs+Bailout+Nation.htm
Mr. Gross can be assured that his slice of the pie will continue to grow: he hypocritically relays that Americans, used to “gorging” at the capitalist trough, will now have to become accustomed to, “a ‘new normal’ where growth is slower, profit margins are narrower, and asset returns are smaller than in decades past.”
The reason for the demise of the average American’s slice of pie? Mr. Gross, the ulimate insider, reveals that now we Americans can expect the spigot to be turned off, as in the hose has a kink:
“based upon the delevering and reregulating of the global economy, which in turn should substantially inhibit the “gorging” of goods and services that we grew used to in decades past.”
So in a reregulated system, the criminals will have the pie and the average Joe a crumb. Looks like capital obesity in America will be over, but the obesity of the elite share of capital has only just begun.
It is the understanding of the elite that the American consumer is no longer a viable source of capital outlay, as Gross advises:
“Consumer Cuisinart consumption is a relic of the past”.
Instead of following a ‘movement,’ advised by a leader to certain economic strictures, as though we are children, we Americans should get off our duffs and begin civil protest against the war machine in this country. That would take a dose of honesty that the flag-waving jingoists marching to the consumer “starve the beast” music refuse to swallow.

WND Exclusive BORN IN THE USA?
‘Proof’ of Kenyan birth twice scrubbed by eBay
But seller of ‘Obama’s birth certificate’ dodges administrators to post 3rd time
© 2009 WorldNetDaily
Editor’s note: Since publication of this story, the auction item has been removed for the third time. None of the item identification numbers in this article remain valid.
An eBay seller who previously promised to deliver a certified copy of President Obama’s actual birth certificate – from a hospital in Mombasa, Kenya – has twice had his listing removed from the popular auction website.
In a third listing, however, the seller calling himself “colmado_naranja” has explained why the birth certificate was twice yanked by eBay administration.
“The first cancellation was done in what eBay describes as being in the interests of keeping my account safe,” the newest listing claims, referring to the now scrubbed item # 160344374585. “eBay was under the impression that a third party had accessed and compromised my account, that this third party put up the Barack Obama African birth certificate auction and that I had no knowledge of the said listing.”
Original eBay offer for Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate
As WND reported, colmado_naranja’s original listing claimed, “President Barack Hussein Obama II was born in The Coast Provincial Hospital at Mombasa in Kenya at 7:24 p.m. on August 4, 1961.”
The seller, who according to the eBay rankings has completed dozens of transactions on the behemoth auction site without difficulties, further said this birth certificate is the real deal, obtained while he was traveling in Kenya.
“Kenyans were amused at how gullible Americans could be when it came to obvious things like the fact that Kenyans overtly admit to Barack Jr.’s Kenyan birth, yet the Americans continue to believe that they know better,” colmado_naranja wrote. “I delved further and found that a birth certificate was on file at The Coast Provincial General Hospital at Mombasa.”
According to the third, and newest, listing, however, even after calling eBay customer service and restoring the original auction under a new item number, the birth certificate sale was scrubbed again, a second time, for another reason altogether.

Yah the shooting star (or morning star as well, which is like the former without the long tail)
it’s a Candle-stick chart formation, which usually indicates a pullback or consolidation…
(This website has plenty of good info on the basics of Candlestick Chart Analysis)

The Problem with Candlestick patterns (and Technical Analysis in general) is they don’t really work without VOLUME!!!!
if no one is trading (other than Market Makers)
the Mass-Psychology component goes out the window…
And even if a pattern is setting-up,
you still need to see some confirmation
(in the case of a shooting star, I’d look to see the next Candle pulling back at least halfway into the previous candle’s range)
@Stacy
I guess Russia is going for the REAL GULAG CASINO then…
BTW, what was that “Corporation” book Max was talking about on the previous TAMLondon??? Who’s the Authour ???
(and if I’ve double posted this, sorry….)
Fitch is owned by Fimalac, whose founder and principal owner is Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, a billionaire and occasional attendee of the Bilderberg meetings of the Western Establishment. His financial interests are centered in Europe, with companies such as L’Oreal, Casino and Renault. He keeps one foot in the art demi-monde. Forbes lists his fortune as “self-made”. You got to chuckle at that.
“A member of France’s former nobility (who, although stripped of their aristocratic status after the French revolution nonetheless remained influential in the country’s political and financial circles), de Lacharrìere was something of a maverick in his youth–after founding, then selling the highly successful teenage fashion magazine Mademoiselle, de Lacharrière joined the Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA), the breeding ground of France’s political (and financial) elite. Yet de Lacharrière soon surprised his peers, who included future political leaders and economic kingpins, such as Louis Schweitzer, later named as head of the government-owned automaker, Renault, by refusing to join the French civil service directly upon his graduation–something unheard of among ENA graduates.
Instead, de Lacharrière rejoined the commercial world, first joining the banking industry, with the Banque de Suez (later the Banque Indosuez). In 1976, de Lacharrière left the Banque de Suez to become financial director of French cosmetics powerhouse L’Oréal. De Lacharrière went on to a brilliant career at L’Oréal, rising to the number two position in less than ten years, when he was named vice-president in 1984.”
And so on.
