The U.S. Dollar Is Now Officially In Trouble
In an article published Sunday by the Telegraph-UK in London, and the content of which was not to be found anywhere near the mainstream media in the U.S., a former high level Chinese Communist Party official spoke quite candidly about the steps China is taking to protect itself from the catastrophically reckless fiscal and monetary policies being executed by the Fed and the Obama Administration:

Good Russia Today interview Keiser
@Phil – that’s awesome that you saw the Russia Today interview! I am still waiting for the Youtube version of it . . . will post it as soon as I get it
@Sharon – I think the spam guard throws anything to spam that has more than five or six links
Also I think for some reason the spam guard has tagged ‘gold’ and ‘China’ as a spam word? Hard to tell though
@sharon
Perhaps. A few more people will take a look than would have otherwise. From the few items I have read, the bigger story seems to be the ‘hoax’ perpetrated by Alex. Although it is claimed that the disclaimer was accidentally left out of the original version, I find that a bit hard to swallow. It was presented as an exposive event. A fictional letter is not an explosive event. Charlie Sheen seeking an audience (audience, like Obama is the pope – sheesh) is not an explosive event. Recall that Alex said that anything happened to him, this information was set to get out regardless. Alex misjudged the reaction to this stunt.
I hope you are right and some good will come from this and that he has not harmed the growing consensus calling for a new investigation into the events of 911.
@stacy
I posted the youtube link to the RT interview earlier, around comment 50 I think.

The romanisation, the translation system, of the city formally known as Peking, changed not the city. Or did I miss the joke?
Excellent show by the way. I like to hear a little bit of trading talk personally.
Good show, a marked improvement of the weirdness of his Alex Jones hit last week.
My continued struggle in the inflation debate, check this out, this is the Virginia Tech radio station listserv, I am the only one that isn’t buying this guy Daniel’s wild claims and outrageous premises for them:
For the hundred and first time, the money supply, look at it, yet note that it
hasn’t been injected into the economy yet!
“But the rule of thumb is that money added to the money
supply by a central bank starts to have it full effect about six months after
being added.” – This is what I said to you a year ago, however, the trillions
added to the money supply haven’t seen the light of day yet, look at the senate
hearings grilling the Fed people on the whereabouts of the money. THe banks
have hoarded the money, not increased lending or liquidity. You can’t say just
because it’s a year later there won’t be inflation. Yes, there is wage
deflation and in commodities, but that doesn’t have anything to do with the
point about money actually being injected into the real economy, as opposed to
sitting on banks’ secret balance sheets no one can see. And the POINT IS – at
what point the money gets injected into the real economy!!!!!
You’re ignoring quite a bit while pointing to things like the CPI like it’s the
only thing worth looking at, and we can go on ignoring these other
insignificant things like 20 tril, unknown amounts of money that are worth
knowing.
“But where did that money come from? You didn’t have it
> before and neither did the bank, the merchants or the rest. The answer is
> that
> within the group of you, you all have created $500 and added it to the money
> supply.”
Yes, where did the money come from? You’re correct in later saying that the
gov’t didn’t create it. Private banks did. Under the name of the Federal
Reserve. They are loaning it to us at interest. This is a big reason we
parted with England (the Bank of England) when we fought the Revolutionary war.
Then in 1913, after a lot of struggle since that time, the Bank of England wins
back control of our central banking system through the illegitamite Federal
Reserve Act, written by bankers, not legislators. So we stop having a truly
national central bank – in the Constitution it says that only Congress has the
authority to coin and regulate money. This was a big deal since the founding
of this country. But go ahead and continue to defend the private bankers.
Just because gold mining is bad for the environment? or is there another
reason?
People are going back to work? Things are going to be OK? Read the headlines?
YOU are the wingnut!
By the way the unemployment figures in the US are fudged in a major way. They
leave out the people who were already unemployed the month before, things like
that.

Hi,
I live in the USA. I’m not happy at all with what wall street et al have gotten away with. I don’t think I’m a complete idiot or have no idea of what is going on here.
I would appreciate Max not talking about how dumb down we Americans are or that we don’t know whats going on. Many posts on blogs, articles, and forums are removed if they don’t support the insanity.
I’ve been to UK and Paris and have a lot of nice people as well as a number of people who are … truly stupid!
Have a good day
