@California doctor
I don’t quite buy the Narcissim thoery to explain our leaders’ straight faces – I would expect to see other give-away signs of Narcissim.
You have not answered my gold standard question. You’ve just spouted on about yourself and oil.
Nobody makes this stuff really ( make sense:)
the best understanding comes from max and stacy’s programs.
My conclusion is it doesn’t make any. It is a distillation of craft and illusion, like magic, an ancient artform.
We who remember a time when things were more clear, you work, you get some pay. Production of goods and services was all the rage. Butcher, baker, candlestick maker… lived side by side, it was idillic.
Tricksters were a thing that came through town and left in a hurry, like.
So, fast forward: it is now: upside downs ville. The tricksters sheisters and scallywags, (not to leave anybody out,) run things and everybody else is on the run.
Finance is the lions share of the economy, right down to my neighbors, and their 3 car garage, that I couldn’t ever afford. All I saw when I was commuting to work was all these brand new expensive cars. I worked 60 hrs, a wk. so how the heck, is it that. “Finance, Charlie. “You gotta make yo money work for ya… everybody’s doing it. ” I know a banker here’s his card. tell him Ed sent ya.”
They lived it up and you know the story. Of the little guys.
Corporations are all leveraged out into bonds and stuff, they’re hollowed out and are part of it. Cities, counties, and states too. The government too. everything.
Now they’re sort of just fighting over paper, or even just electrons at this point. I looks that chaos is around here somewhere, when all this make believe value unravels.
@ joe shmoe –
I agree with your point and with the point fsnoot was making in the other thread about IMF.
Easy answer:
I can boil down my observation to this string of facts:
The US government gives the banks the opportunity to charge interest. Some people on Earth are charging interest for these “investment” grade papers (bonds, securities, etc).
These paper contracts are really not stable in value because (1) the currency valuation is fluctuating minute to minute and (2) the collateral may not exist.
Why are we citizens in the United States permitting the wholesale destruction of our freedom and liberty by these thieves?
Complex answer:
Most Americans who are said to be in “financial” trouble are in that situation because they did not understand that the mortgage debt obligation was transferrable to a party who could literally undermine the owner.
In the case of residential or commercial mortgage backed securities, Goldman Sachs and their counter-parties had an interest in killing the value of the notes because AIG was going to become subordinate to Goldman et al on the basis of the default obligation.
And when the CIA organized “revolution’ is done, the sale of hard drugs 100% of the time explodes. No coincidence.
@california doctor
CIA incites revolutions internationally. It seems to me that foreign intelligence agencies are inciting revolutionary change in the United States. One clear point of foreign influence is in the money which sent directly from foreign sources …
@frances snoot
“At the heart of the institutional structure of global financial governance is the IMF, with virtually universal membership and a mandate to create rules that govern cooperation to ensure the stability of the international monetary system. At the same time, the IMF has also the mandate to promote–through its surveillance …
So maybe your both on to something. The foreigners are taking over and… the IMF are taking over…
How’s that square with the US Constitution? I don’t remember voting for any o dat stuff. And like I say if it’s too complicated to say in a few words, ” sompin’ aint right. ”
All the self righteous posing as the worlds premiere self governing democracy and all it does, is get more and more incomprehensible and unfathomable for… mortal man… (the populace, voters.)
Things that help demystify are much appreciated, especially less style and more exposition. Can’t be pattented you say?
Thanks
@Febo – on the Great Depression and gold standard
The use of fiat paper currency correlates to the peak of per capita crude oil production.
Check a graph of crude oil production. Divide annual crude oil production by estimated world population. You find that the crude oil production in the USA peaked in the early 1970′s. Since that time, the US has been importing more and more oil.
I am an amateur economist, but have first-hand micro-economic experience in this community. I have compared the BLS.GOV inflation datatables and noticed an increase in slope of the curve in around 1972.
There is a correlation between the crude oil production and cost of energy. Therefore, the United States economy began falling in productivity by the late 1970′s. Unless the US economy can begin generating more domestic energy, the US economy can not sustainably grow without a huge influx of people.
However, the domestic economy of the USA is impaired because small and medium sized businesses have been targetted by socialist politicians and their ilk, by foreign interests who want the US to import their goods and services, and by government who want to tax and steal money.
So, the end result is that the US domestic productivity is falling badly due to the confluence of factors.
I raise the crude oil and population size as factors in our domestic economy because it is entirely possible that the nation could have been much stronger in the past ten years had we factored gold and oil as a backing for the finances of the federal and state government.
Instead, our very system of government, which is supposed to be protector of our freedom, is held ransom by bankers in the Federal Reserve.
@Febo -
They are chosen to be “communicators”. Good communicators become good actors in front of the cameras. They need to think quickly, select phraseology quickly, and then deliver the words in correct tempo, speed, timbre, and pitch. If done correctly, they can be like Alan Greenspan… move lips and sink no ships.
But, putting on my physician’s coat, they may also be narcissistic, and therefore so focused on their own needs that the lies are justifiable in their own minds. If they are sufficiently brainwashed, then the lies can be told with total belief and not one hint of remorse.
It’s called pathological.
Another issue, while I’m at it.
Do you study the faces of our leaders? Do you study Bernanke’s face, Geithner’s face, Darling’s or Brown’s face?
Do they look like they are lying?
To me, they don’t and I find this very very odd, because if the crisis really is as bad as, say Denninger has shown it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1VbGcaVvFM
… then how can our leaders not show traces of this knowlegde in thier demeanour?
@California doctor
Yeah, I’ve read Armstrong, I’ve listened to Schiff/Keiser/Faber & Co about a thousand times, I read a lot of the articles on TheMarketOracle, I know the austrian, I know that Keynes is a witch doctor and that fiat money out of thin air is the devils brew but I’ve never heard any of them rebut this theory.
I *think* the overall idea is that the gold standard restricted a recovery in the monetary base – in which case I guess it’s coming from a Keynesian “spend your way out of deflation” perspective, but I’m not sure.
If you look at the Great depression topic on wiki you’ll see that there is an imputed correlation between nations coming off the gold standard and coming out of the depression.
@Febo – I think you answered your own question.
If you do not understand the logic in the report, then probably the report is NOT logical.
Right?
You’re not dumb. The MSM is trying to pull a Bernanke-surprise over you and it doesn’t make sense logically.
The causes of the Great Depression are complex, but that is the reason I posted the link to Martin Armstrong’s essay on the debasement of the Roman Currency and the fall of the Roman Empire.
You do not need someone else to tell you what to do and what to think.
You have already answered your own question by asking for another person to explain the BBC’s report to you.
The gold standard could NOT have caused the Great Depression because economic cycles are subject of so many variables that you can not pin the cycle’s existance on any one item.
Martin Armstrong’s work on this was superb reading because he compared the cycles in the Roman Empire to various timings.
Others have attempted similar cyclical analysis (Kondratiev).
Correct – the economics editor of the BBC (not BBS)
@MEP – you didn’t answer my question. The economics editor of the BBS believes that the gt depression was caused by the gold standard. She says that Bernanke has demonstrated this to be so, so I think its important to evaulate this position.
She goes on to say:
“It was the gold standard – in effect, a fixed exchange rate system anchored by the price of gold – that led the world’s leading economies into a deflationary spiral. That was because the only way for deficit countries to stem the resulting flow of gold – money – out of the country was by shrinking domestic demand, which led to a further downward spiral in prices and incomes.”
I don’t understand this. I need some expertise here.
Prediction. The next company to make massive layoffs in the low low paying jobs in the USA will naturally be McDonald’s.
When even the low paying shittie jobs are going down the drain in a country, you know it’s not a recession but a depression. But don’t worry. The real big prostitutes from the media will keep on taking how things are looking up, and the “recession” is finished. “Prosperity is just around the corner.” says God’s envoy Lloyd Blankfien. Smile and have a nice acid bad trip.

@snoot
Brainless and agressive macho with a big manshion, a Ferrarii and big bank account is usually very popular with most women.
Sorry. It’s the truth. Takes two to tango snoot. For a Perone you always have an Evita. For a Ferdinand Marcos you always have a Imelda. Brains are the monopoly of nobody. For a Clinton you have a Hillary. For a snake you always have a lizard.
@snoot
Hey. Not all us are like that. Anyways most of you ladies, yes yes yes, have the biological bad tendency to be captivated by brainless machos. That prick Clinton is still very popular with a lot of brainless females. You see what I mean ? Obsession about sex ain’t a male monopoly. Sex has a tendency to make you dumb. I would to add that a lor of women like these type dominant agressive smashers. You can’t how germand profoundly loved Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler.
You’ve got it wrong Max. The capitalists are communists and the communists are capitalists. When the collapse of the West is complete, China will save them and fill the void. The future is red.
hey @ max sorta keiser your excretion By Now or is it Buy Now
is it time ?
Max, you are right. UK is a fucking shit hole.
Monoculture factory farming is easy credit.
Take now, pay later.
mep et al I always heard the depression was caused by easy credit. Buying assets with nothing down i.e. infinite leverage. Kind of like buying houses with nothing down or banks getting bailed out of all trouble for fear of nothing.
@ Febo – I’ll give my short and sweet answer: whenever you take money out of hands of the majority of the people, you get a depression. Back in the 20s, economic inequality was as bad as it is today. (Well, it’s actually worse today, but still . . . . ) And it lead to the same shenanigans: risky business practices, mergers, and rampant speculation. Another equivalent between now and then is that prior to now, the only other time in our history where total household debt was = to annual GDP was during the Great Depression.
Max/Stacy, one of the controversies today is what caused the Great Depression.
I like the Paul/Shiff/Austrian view that govt stimulus slowed down the recovery.
However, there are other theories – the BBC’s Stephanie Flanders believes that “Bernanke, Barry Eichengreen and other distinguished economists have established pretty convincingly that it was the gold standard that helped turn a mismanaged US stock market crash into a global slump – by causing a prolonged and devastating period of falling prices.”
Can you comment on this theory?

Re: Citibank Plutonomy Report

@ Rastaman – The CBC Whitewashed 9/11 on the Fifth Estate, but I guess since Max holds up Obama as being genuine ( dunno if Max actually believes that or presents that as a means to an end ) it’s possible. Which show would he be on, or do you mean his own show? I can’t think of any existing shows that have both the format and authenticity/balls/free agency to interview / feature Max. But the CBC are striving to stay just this side of believability so they can keep delivering their toxic culture shaping advertisements (programming or the programming called ads, take yer pick), so who knows?
@MEP

BAE only bribe foreigners. In the UK, its the revolving door, jobs for the boys- less vulgar dont you know- that greases the wheels. Re. getting neked, ze Germans and Scandinaivians are much worse/ better (depending on the body concerned).

Personnally I am not an alien. I am an alienated form of life. Get it ? California Doctor ? Just kidding. Sometimes you read about what is going and you really think that the USA the UK are really runned by a bunch sado-maso nut case.
hey probably practice necrophilia and eat the brown stuff for breakfast. Hey California Doctor. You should rent the last fiml by Passolini SALO. It’s about what the USA is becoming. I don’t know who has the mental age of moronic adolescent ? USA is just becoming a big dirty violent snuff film. A real bad trip on acid.
The cold war was a war against the people, as Max pointed out it was an existensial threat, capitalisim for the communists plebs and communisim for the capitalist plebs.
As for running out of fear? Dude? The fear of some form of hell when you die has been going strong for at least 2 thousand years.

RE: the Supreme Court ruling, I’m reminded of the Citibank Plutonomy Report that Michael Moore revealed in his film. Anyone remember the part about the oligarchs worrying about/seeing 1 person = 1 vote as a RISK to their continued parasitism?
RISKS — WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Our whole plutonomy thesis is based on the idea that the rich will keep getting richer. This thesis is not without its risks. For example, a policy error leading to asset deflation, would likely damage plutonomy. Furthermore, the rising wealth gap between the rich and poor will probably at some point lead to a political backlash. Whilst the rich are getting a greater share of the wealth, and the poor a lesser share, political enfrachisement remains as was — one person, one vote (in the plutonomies). At some point it is likely that labor will fight back against the rising profit share of the rich and there will be a political backlash against the rising wealth of the rich. This could be felt through higher taxation on the rich (or indirectly though higher corporate taxes/regulation) or through trying to protect indigenous (home-grow)] laborers, in a push-back on globalization — either anti-immigration, or protectionism. We don’t see this happening yet, though there are signs of rising political tensions. However we are keeping a close eye on developments.
ON your private show, Max can use all his words

@ bonn – This is interesting:
Haiti Disaster Relief Scenario Was Envisaged by the US Military One Day Before the Earthquake.
@Bonn – we have to deny the existence of similar states of being among animals lest we face the truth about our own nature in terms of how we treat them and each other. Boiling Lobsters alive is okay in part because university students couldn’t find what they understood to be pain sensors in them. Even when we get specific we get in trouble. We are always at odds with our own intelligence I suspect because to be wise would weaken the chain of reproduction that is needed to carry genetics conducive to wisdom forward. So the intelligent yet lacking in wisdom, inherit the earth.

“It seems to me that this last item is the most problematic. Because the US Dollar is an international trade standard, the internationals do not seem to have a plan to replace the USD. Instead, they watch US domestic politics in the hopes that someone corrects the Federal Reserve problem.”
No, this is not the case. The IMF is working to substitute sdr for dollar as new reserve currency. There is a plan.
“At the heart of the institutional structure of global financial governance is the IMF, with virtually universal membership and a mandate to create rules that govern cooperation to ensure the stability of the international monetary system. At the same time, the IMF has also the mandate to promote–through its surveillance function, policy advice, financial support, and technical assistance–policies necessary for domestic financial stability and sustainable growth. No other multilateral organization within the global financial structure has the legitimacy of the IMF. Even when other powerful multilateral organizations press for global rules, they tend to channel them through the IMF in order to benefit from its legitimacy. Efforts to fight money laundering and the financing of global terrorism are only two recent examples.
Up to the mid-1980s, the IMF and the World Bank had, by today’s standards, relatively clear and distinct mandates. Since then, however, globalization and the dynamic changes fueled by technological innovation in increasingly open markets have forced the two institutions into unprecedented patterns of adaptation. At present, the World Bank is primarily concerned with poverty alleviation, economic development, debt relief, and transfer of financial resources; while the major concerns of the IMF are economic and financial stability in the domestic economy of member countries as well as in the international financial system. Thus, both institutions face a much-expanded agenda of responsibilities that are broader and deeper than their original mandates of monitoring macroeconomic performance and making specific loans.”

“The International Monetary Fund said it’s possible to take the “revolutionary” step of creating a new global reserve currency to replace the dollar over time.
The IMF’s so-called special drawing rights could be used as the basis for a new currency, First Deputy Managing Director John Lipsky told a panel discussing reserve currencies at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum today.”

We shape that which is least directly observable, the most abstract, to suit our desires and fears. So the universe becomes infinite to compensate for our fears of death and irrelevance. A God is tailor made to us in a way that reflects our limited understanding at the time of his creation. And we evolved without interference to become the first intelligent life here.
But for all we know, a particularly nasty form of life was scraped onto the earth’s mantle in the form of the micro organisms that took hold and started it all here. For all we know we’re a dominant mold growing in an alien’s petri dish.

@Jim – Marc sounds like he is in his 20′s. He is angry and with good reason.
Revolutionary change can not come from the top-down because by definition those at the top are being deposed.
The renewal of the United States can not occur if the federal government and state governments are bankrupt. In many ways the state governments and the federal government is bankrupt.
May I suggest that there are several factors which are in place when modern revolutions occur?
CIA incites revolutions internationally. It seems to me that foreign intelligence agencies are inciting revolutionary change in the United States. One clear point of foreign influence is in the money which sent directly from foreign sources through various local agents/citizens to federal campaigns. The Supreme Court’s decision to open the federal campaign process to unlimited campaign contributions from any corporation is outrageous.
When I review the history of the American, French, and Russian Revolutions; there are several elements which were in place. These elements are lacking in the current situation (which appears more analogous to the Roman Empire).
Each revolution included control of the media (newsprint, TV, Radio), control of weapons (military support), and had international support.
It seems to me that this last item is the most problematic. Because the US Dollar is an international trade standard, the internationals do not seem to have a plan to replace the USD. Instead, they watch US domestic politics in the hopes that someone corrects the Federal Reserve problem.

As Cixous writes:
“It is not a question of appropriating their instruments, their concepts, their places for oneself or of wishing oneself in their position of mastery. Our knowing that there is a danger of identification does not mean we should give in. Leave that to the worriers, the masculine anxiety and its obsessional relationship to working they must control–knowing “how it runs” in order to “make it run”. Not taking possession to internalize or manipulate but to shoot through and smash the walls.”

…I guess I had a point to make somewhere along that trail…
…Remember the saying; ‘Luck o’ the Irish?’
To wit, I’ve always lived by one guiding principle. Whenever you see theose jack-booted coppers, [aka: control freaks] walk quietly down the other side of the street. Consequently, I live with a clear record and I only have to imagine what it would be like to live your life in shackles. Equally important, those of us who do know freedom–primarily the freedom to be poor as a dog and to live in a virtual campground along the edge of an increasingly polluted drinage-ditch, like the Siene, or the Rhine, or the (sic) LA River….
@Stacy – And Hepatitis and HIV. Class action lawsuits would make sense imo.
In another area of legal disconnect, I think a corporate person should be sued for punishment in keeping with that an actual person would suffer. As it is they’re getting the protections, but not the consequences real people get. If an offense would put a person in jail, then a monetary punishment for a corporation while it is free to act as usual in society, is unjust. Nobody says a man convicted of murder can’t go to prison because his family or other parties will suffer. So a corporation convicted of murder should “go to prison”. For example, have all of it’s operations suspended for a sentence and most of it’s assets frozen or handled through a state-appointed trustee. Too bad for the investors and other parties, it’s a convicted murderer. Pardon me, he or she. Unless of course the investors, financiers etc, want to be tried as co-conspirators. If corporations got punishments related to those that individuals get, that would be the end of corporate personhood’s usefulness.
That must be mostly free from thinking.
Where are these American Christians who care so much about a life before it is born, after it is born and being sexually assaulted, tortured, or murdered in an American prison because it had a little herb in it’s pocket or was born with the wrong skin color or in the wrong country?
Where were these antiabortion Christians when largely Christians elected Bush Jr. to fight an illegal war of aggression to kill so many people who were once fetuses? Were the people murdered in the massacre of Fallujah any less helpless than fetuses? Men in Fallujah had the choice of staying to be murdered or leaving and risking a pass through the (largely Christian) American gulag meat grinder.
Where are these antiabortion Christians for the born fetuses in Abu Ghraib now?

@Marc – the empowerment of the weak at the expense of the strong is an essential part of the current slavery model.

The abuse syndrome is reflected in the military and prison culture’s of dehumanization via sexual assault and threat of violent death, being reflected in the language of young Americans. In competitive situations many use phrases like “Let’s rape these bitches!” They’ve not only stopped reacting to the abuse but timidly get on board and nudge others to do the same, like the minions of a psychotic alpha male.
When the masses finally explode and take over the elites control structure. The PTB will reinitate their infiltration tactics, and take over the system again (slowly but surely). People are easily bribed. This was the case in France during their revolution.
The only answer going forward for humanity is a resource based system. Where Gold,Silver, fiat currency and any other form of trade must be banned.

The Real War is only & always…Power vs Non-Power. Specifically, Amerikan STATE vs American People…Russian STATE vs Russian People…..Chinese STATE vs Chinese People….British STATE vs British People….etc. ad nauseum.
Welcome to Miami!!!
Max,
In your last show you pointed out that the US needs to default on its debt., clear the books then start over.
This time you predict a war with China. I think these 2 scenarios are related. If the US declares war on China (whatever the pretext) this will justify non-payment of US indebtedness to China (treasuries, etc,) which is how many $ Trillion now?
Lastly….the Invasion of the ME by the US was the start of WW3…but this time they decided not to announce the World War just to prosecute it….that no historian has picked up on this is beyond in-comprehensible.
The War of Terror obviously has a strong Generational Component….similarly deemed necessary to this generation as the Cold War was to the Boomer group. Now all should understand that the Atomic Bomb & the Cold War was CONTRIVED needed to “scare the shit out of them”—Arthur Vandenberg….keeping ALL on the Reservation once again. Some got under the US tent…some got under the Russian tent…Conspicuously, those under the US tent(Iraq & others) were Betrayed & those under the Russian tent(East Germany & others) were Betrayed: then the two betrayers MERGED( the Wall came down). This is Mssrs Rothschild & Rockefeller at their very BEST.
Note the Amerikan has taken the Russian position in Afghanistan(absent the Stingers)….with not a word from anyone, anywhere.
This is Chess and we are mere spectating, speculating Pawns….Pathetic.

No, I am not. The US economy is headed for a complete breakdown. There will be social chaos worldwide. The criminal bankers who engineer the fraud called “banking regulation” are using the scheme to consolidate monopoly interest for those who consider ‘human’ in different terms than I do. These new terms will be foisted upon the world. The wars will not cease: they are fought with the sanctimony of our ‘global peace agency’. The colonization will not cease; it is to be perfected with the introduction of the ‘international clearing union’. The genocide will not cease: Africa is under a pernicious ‘humanitarian’ umbrella.
Those who are able now to fight against this future tyranny instead prefer to run to Mama Nostalgia and suckle at her large and preposterous bosom. Enjoy!

The Wall came down in Europe….so that it could Electronically be put up around the Developed World a la Israel. Amerikan Totalitarianism was preferred as an easy, softer, gentler more humane SELL than the Russian Version. The World STASSI STATE is now in place.
The NWO depends on those entrenched self-serving layers of Technocracy to provide the Buffer between the Revolt of the Plebes & Power. The Buffer is intended to take the hit….and commit the MURDER.
The Overall risk to Power is not from the Revolt of the Plebes…as they are totally dispossessed. Rather, the Risk is from the Merc Technocracy either turning or “rebelling” against Power; either for the benefit of the Plebes(most unlikely)…..or Blackwater writ Large decides they want to be POWER. The other factor is a traditional split in the Military…as the Military hates the Mercs( a pay dispute)…..Remember ALL wars are Civil…they are Rivals; not Opponents. The History of Rome &Greece is actually one Roman//Greek General fighting another Roman//Greek General for control of the Tax//Debt Issuance-Collection Ability.

Naturally they think that they are more intelligent than the Communist. A couple of yeat ago, in the 70′s, even in the 80′s, a lot of people in Polang has the impression the Soviet Union would las another 200 years. Why would it be different now ? I don’t see their “plans” lasting 1000 years or even 100 years.
The Soviet Union only lasted 70 years. There is almost nothing left of the old russian empire today. Things don’t last and even the meanest plans for world control flop. It won’t be different.You are to pessimistic snoot.

America’s Impending Master Class Dictatorship (Jan. 22, 2010 – Kitco)
excerpt:
According to the Federal Reserve’s most recent report on wealth, America’s private net worth was $53.4 trillion as of September, 2009. But at the same time, America’s debt and unfunded liabilities totaled at least $120,000,000,000,000.00 ($120 trillion), or 225% of the citizens’ net worth. Even if the government expropriated every dollar of private wealth in the nation, it would still have a deficit of $66,600,000,000,000.00 ($66.6 trillion), equal to $214,286.00 for every man, woman and child in America and roughly 500% of GDP. If the government does not directly seize the nation’s private wealth, then it will require $389,610 from each and every citizen to balance the country’s books. State, county and municipal debts and deficits are additional, already elephantine in many states (e.g., California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York) and growing at an alarming rate nationwide. In addition to the federal government, dozens of states are already bankrupt and sinking deeper into the morass every day.”

The so-called anticipated confrontation with the Chinese has already occurred. You would do well to take in the history of the Korean war, and prior to this, the development of the Japanese A-bomb in Northern Korea near the end of WWII.
This would have things fall into place for you.
@Marc Authier
Chinese is a difficult language most part because it’s a “sound language”. One tone wrong and they can’t understand you or you say something completely different. That’s also the problem with the language, you can’t actually sing Chinese. If you spend your time learning the language and go to China you’ve got an other problem if you are not in a mandarin speaking Province, your Chinese is useless.
Still a decide years ago to study Chinese but couldn’t get on the University cause of the numerix fixus (Come from the sixties baby boom – too many people) so that plan was never fulfilled and forgot about it later.
Still it is an interesting language culturally speaking with all those characters and children are able to pick things up much more quickly. Children can learn more language easy though I admit Chinese is a special case.
Until then we cannot contribute to the solution, we can only contribute to the noise.

We can only assume that this is because it does not, in fact, reflect the public good, but rather reflects the wish-lists of the copyright industry…”

To be effective, we must deal with the real world.
Paul ignores the structure of the international financial system. He ignores the importance of the sdr, the IMF, and the G20 to American productivity and growth. He belies the necessity for a strong currency to be tied to world trade, instead doling out ‘stories’ of American forefather’s honest money and that tied to some competitive ‘hope’. He denies the role of the UN in Afghanistan by ignoring the mandates and the role of the US troops within the structure supporting European elite interests.
He is from Texas: the land of American hyperbole, cowboys, big oil, and retentitive delusion.
China as an adversary is even more implausible then Russia. The russian threat was made up by the Neocons (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz).
Without the bank bailouts last year, savers would have lost their savings, due in part to the deflation in housing prices and in part due to the practice of fractional reserve banking and long-term lending on short-term deposits.
The deflation in housing prices was curtailed in part by the support of TALF Fed programs to become the proxy shadow banking system for securitization of mortgages. QE helped save the bond yields.

The ‘banker bailout’ was a gift to European banks and to the IMF. TARP is a credit line through which the Treasury may continue to direct profits to the same group of international elites who siphoned the cream from American productivity. It did nothing for the American people.
@Youri Carma
De la poudre aux yeux.The problem with all these courses is that Americans, a litte bit less the case fot the British, stay unicultural. I doubt it that the number of Americans watching mandarin TV or films will increase.
The rest of the world is bi cultural or tri or quadri cultural. Most of these efforts are based on a fad. Learning a difficult language like mandarin and their 54,000 ideograms seems to me a little bit phoney-baloney California fad.
It you want an interesting language to learn still important, I would chose russian, Spoke it a little bit in the pasr. Naturally I already speak french. Still important in Africa (and Haiti). Most of the chineese learned will be forgotten in 5 years. If you want to learn chineese and russian Vladibostok is a quite a fascinating place.

Thoughts on a post from a Ron paul site……….
So, while I am in agreement with many of the criticisms that are made of our current government, I find the solutions proposed here to be naive and impractical. They are made by people who either lack experience in governance or who are unable to benefit by their experience.
Dr. Paul has been in the U.S. Congress for nearly twenty years. In all that time, has he convinced the Congress to take action to correct the problems he rails against? Even his innocuous bill “to reform the manner in which the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is audited by the Comptroller General of the United States and the manner in which such audits are reported” — something 75% of the House has paid lip service to (co-sponsored) — what has the introduction of this measure actually achieved? Why, as we approach a year after its introduction, is it not law?
I agree with the view that our economy is far from healthy, and that the centrally managed socialism which guides our government is a philosophy which is unlikely to improve things in the long run. However, most of the short-term actions taken in the past two years have been attempts to undo the damage caused by earlier attempts to manage the economy.
In the current environment, we are driving on ice, and while Dr. Paul might think it would be best to drive in a straight line — generally a wise approach to getting where you are going — perhaps he has forgotten that the best policy on ice is to steer in the direction of the skid. The fact that others agree with him — and argue for letting the skid continue until we are in the ditch — this will seem wise only to people who are not in the car. Most people are in the car.
Behind Dr. Paul’s reasoning there are facts. Dr. Paul observes that the value of the dollar has dropped 32% against other currencies over the past 37 years — then tells us that this really doesn’t tell us anything. He shifts to argue that the change in the price of gold (97% since 1971) is the real measure.
No, it isn’t. The price of gold in 1971 was fixed by law, not by any market. Nixon’s decision to abandon the promise to pay other countries (not individuals) with our limited gold supply (too little to pay all the claims that other nations might make) led to spectacular inflation in the U.S. What seemed quite reasonable to Nixon (and others) proved quite disastrous to the economy.
During the 1970s it was very easy to increase one’s wealth. Knowing that inflation was running at high rates, an intelligent person borrowed money and invested in highly leveraged tangible assets. I bought residential property and made enough money to retire.
Dr. Paul whines that “The dollar, mismanaged by the Fed, has not been a benefit to the savers who sought to responsibly take care of themselves. They’ve been cheated by a rotten system and are just beginning to understand exactly how the Federal Reserve has been responsible for the swindle.”
Those who are just beginning to understand should not blame others for their ignorance. While there are certainly foolish people who save dollars and do not invest them in productive assets, such people surely should not be described as seeking “responsibly to take care of themselves.” It would be more accurate to say that they are ignorant people who were unwilling to pay attention to reality and too lazy to learn about the financial system or the value of currency.
Those familiar with the parable of the talents in the Bible will understand that if you bury your money in the ground (or stick it in a bank), you deserve to lose it. We have had inflation, as Dr. Paul knows, for more than 70 years — and inflation has been a characteristic of every national currency since the beginning of recorded history.
Savers who are not investors are fools. Had they invested wisely at any point in time, they would have all their savings and more. A fool and his money are soon parted. This is the way it should be. We have no need for rich fools.
As for the relationship between the dollar and gold since 1971 (down 97% by Dr. Paul’s calculation), this is meaningless. No individual could buy gold at the artificial price fixed by the US government. It had been just over $20 an ounce for a century before FDR raised it to $35 for paying dollar debts to other countries.
Counting from any such point should remind us of the old joke — bananas are 5 cents a bunch, but, yes, we have no bananas.
As for the market price of gold, historically it fluctuates around the point described some decades ago by Professor Roy Jastram at Berkeley as one ounce of gold being the price of a good men’s suit. The purchasing power of gold today is less than half of what it was at its peak in 1980, when fears of inflation (there had been considerable inflation in the previous decade) produced very high prices.
Today, while people fear inflation, anyone who looks at the price of housing or commercial real estate — or even stocks (today they are where they were a decade ago) might more reasonably fear deflation. Deflation is a terrifying prospect — businesses close, people lose their jobs, and creditors (savers) do not get back the money they have loaned to others (including banks). Those who hold cash (not buying anything, not hiring anyone) destroy the economy — and increase their wealth.
Without the bank bailouts last year, savers would have lost their savings, due in part to the deflation in housing prices and in part due to the practice of fractional reserve banking and long-term lending on short-term deposits.
So, while I admire the theory behind much of what is said on this site, I reject the impracticality. Dr. Paul is a smart guy. He should know after nearly forty years of active participation in politics and twenty years in high office that the solutions he proposes are unworkable.
To be effective, we must deal with the real world.
Until then we cannot contribute to the solution, we can only contribute to the noise.

The non-USSR states of Eastern Europe, like Hungary — are not so sentimental of the USSR era.
However, there was a kind of stability and predictability in that era that is gone now … and will not return any time soon.
The USSR was created out of the mess of 1914, and only after 1989 did Eastern European borders begin to resemble in some form the revised world of 1914. The outcome of 1914 was a lot of new nation states, and the outcome of 1989 was more of the same. However, where Europe ends and where it begins is by no means clear.
It must be said that Russia, like the USSR is neither East nor West — and the Western ideology of Marx is for the moment gone. However, if one is looking for some Slavic reformed post Byzantine Empire to return … I do not see it.

Good find Max :
Under such regime “names”, the “enemy” is easily identifiable … thus the people group together in “solidarity” and are socially much happier. You saw the same in the two WWs.
Something I observed personally when the Berlin Wall fell, was that the “Ossies” ( East Germans ) that migrated to the West became pretty unhappy with their fellow “Wessies”.
The cultural change from a (Ossie) society where there was a clearly defined “them and us” to a complex Wessie society where everyone is effectively each other’s enemy = “elbow society” / egoistic people that compete with “each other” to get more (money). Quite a few Ossies have since gone back to Eastern Germany , despite the economic mess there.
