Comments on: J’accuse! Paulson says Darling ‘grin-f*****’ the US http://maxkeiser.com/2009/10/29/jaccuse-paulson-says-darling-grin-f-the-us/ Financial War Reports Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:58:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: mthomas http://maxkeiser.com/2009/10/29/jaccuse-paulson-says-darling-grin-f-the-us/#comment-41622 mthomas Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:54:16 +0000 http://maxkeiser.com/?p=3479#comment-41622 There can only be a free lunch for so long, eventually we'll have to pay the piper for these decisions. And I feel that until the govt addresses the basic structural problems in our financial system of too much debt, we will not have a sustainable recovery. So while the stock market can stay irrational in the shorter term, in the long run I believe it will go back to reflecting the fundamentals of our boom and bust economy. And that's why I continue to feel that for long term investors a better portfolio allocation is in cash and gold. I think the gold price will continue to rise due to a lack of faith in central banks' policies and in fiat currencies. I recently read some very interesting articles on these topics at <a href="http://www.goldalert.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.goldalert.com/</a>, which discuss the relationship between the dollar, the gold price, and gold mining companies given the Federal Reserve's monetary policies. I thought the article titled "What Gold Bubble? Setting the Record Straight?" was especially helpful for investors to read to get a better sense of the relationship between these asset classes in these uncertain economic times.

No one has time or energy enough to care.

DeTocqueville in Democracy in America:
“When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown more rapidly than their education and their experience of free institutions, the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint at the sight of the new possessions they are about to obtain. In their intense and exclusive anxiety to make a fortune they lose sight of the close connection that exists between the private fortune of each and the prosperity of all. It is not necessary to do violence to such a people in order to strip them of the rights they enjoy; they themselves willingly loosen their hold…These people think they are following the principle of self-interest, but the idea they entertain of that principle is a very crude one; and the better to look after what they call their own business, they neglect their chief business, which is to remain their own masters. “

The Lehman failure was British financial warfare on the US, Tarpley also accuses Robert Fisk of being a British intelligence officer who planted the story of the US dollar being replaced for a basket of currencies by opec in 2018. I don't agree with Tarpely on everything, such as islamic terrorism, while much of islamic terrorism has been exaggerated, USED and channeled for British-American interests it still does exist and can be lethal as history tells us. http://www.tarpley.net/29crash.htm This all fits in with Webster Tarpley’s analysis.
