Stacy Summary: Lots, including us, have been warning that sovereign debt crises will be the second leg of this crisis, now that all the private debts of bankers have been transferred to governments around the world. Germany, of course, are the savers of Europe, but they spent hundreds of billions last year after all their banks were wiped out by CDOs sold to them by all the usual suspects. Johnson mentions Italy and UK coming up next after Greece, Portugal and Spain. And, what about Switzerland? Their banks were very much behind the global financial crimewave and hold debts many, many times their nation’s GDP.

Yo!
What should be done as a solution?
What can we personally do to save our standard of living?
“What are the stronger European countries, specifically Germany and France, doing to contain the self-fulfilling fear that weaker eurozone countries may not be able to pay their debt – this panic that pushes up interest rates and makes it harder for beleaguered governments to actually pay?”
Does Johnson write for French interests, EU interests, or IMF interests? Johnson was an acting head of the IMF bank:
http://www.imf.org/external/np/bio/eng/sj.htm
Because France is not in a strong position at present:
“Our concern isn’t so much for the PIIGS (Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Greece), ironically though. Ireland has taken some smart steps; Spain has a lot of room that they can raise taxes should they need to. Italy is probably too big to fail; Portugal simply too small. Our concern is actually for France and Belgium. These are countries that are core eurozone members, but their debt by almost every measure is just as bad as it is in Southern Europe.
To date, the Europeans have chosen to push all of the blame and all of the focus on the PIIGS. But if we get to the point that Greece actually fails, it’s not just going to be Spain and Portugal and Italy that are going to be following. It’s going to be some very big, very serious countries.”
http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/4307
This sentence is rather telling:
“Does the IMF really have enough resources to backstop all the PIIGS?”
I think Mr. Johnson should tone down his rhetoric else some reader might find him a bit of a racist pig.
This is a bit off topic, but I just looked up pictures of the bustling metropolis of Iqaluit, Nunavut, on Google Earth. Iqaluit is the “city” where the finance ministers of the Group of Seven are meeting this weekend to discuss whatever these guys discuss when they meet.
Iqaluit has got to be the saddest, sorriest piece of Earth I have ever seen. It is a long way from being even a modest fishing village. The beaches are strewn with junk, collected over the years. The whole area served as a dump site for the USAF in the 1960s, and there’s plenty of crap left to rust.
I was appalled that such squalor is to be found in Canada – the scene looks a lot more like a snapshot of a Gulag in Siberia. I strongly recommend either visiting the place on Google Earth or otherwise googling up pix.
This choice of venue seems to serve a dual function – exiling the Finance Ministers to a Siberia-like end-of-the-world, albeit for a weekend; and, of course, escaping the wrath of the peasantry that would greet such a meeting had it been held in Toronto or Montreal.
At last, the beleaguered baltics finally come up better, despite it all.
All their big banks are scandinavian (swedish), and they can actually leave them holding the big bag to bite.
Lithuania has even been offering nice bonds to avoid the IMF monster creeping around it’s door.
did anyone see on the nbc sunday morning news show today with Hanky panky paulson and ex fed ruler greenspan on. And they both said that taxes will need to be raised and social security and other government handouts will have to be cut down.
Its coming goverment and corporate pensioners and other welfare recipients. Better wake up. Quit being sheeple.

Hey, doesn’t Holland play any role? Where is our debt crisis!
@Snoot
The IMF, created by and agency supossed to be in service of participant countries, should be the first thing to go as an extraneous market participant.
Personaly, I can’t wait for an EMU member to fail,
Us piigs here in Ireland can then pull out of the EU/ EMU, Go back to the punt , devalue then take back our fishing areas.
Then we can close our boarders and truffle hunt for ourselves. Oink oink….
@MotherEarth:
Do you wish for suprasovereign agency to end, or only the IMF?
How about the GRAB countries?
Germany, Russia, Austria, and Belgium?
hey just saw Hank Paulson & Alan Greenspann on Meet The Press .. kinda weird
alistar, thats what I mentioned. Did you hear them advocating having to raise taxes and cut services to help pay for the financial crisis.
That they helped create on purpose. I hope they do rasie taxes and make massive cuts on services so the stupid slovenly average american will maybe finally wake up.

Meanwhile…
CDS prices are going up for Europe
Prices of credit-default swaps tied to European companies with stronger credit ratings, including banks, also rose on Thursday, with the cost of insuring the debt of Spanish and Portuguese banks jumping in particular. Even banks like the U.K.’s Barclays PLC and Germany’s Deutsche Bank AG saw their debt-default insurance costs rise.

I thought the lesson about these derivatives was learned???
Oh those wacky Financial Terrorists… they’ll never stop…
@Snoot
The plural of agent is agents and of ageny is agencies. The IMF is not suprasovereign, it is an agent of the US. It is an instrument for oppertunistic destructive impulses which it was not intended to be. Imho in a fiat system risks should be exactly that: risks. With a down side. There are insurance companies, but beyond that there is no justice in leveraging the future to satisfy ‘needs’ now.
Once again the dis-information continues, while Greece may represent less than 5% of the EU GDP, California which represents a far larger portion of USA GDP is actually in worse shape than Greece. People rushing to prop up the US$–frying pan fire anyone??

Hi Stacy and Max, how are you? Just wanted to give you some information that you might find interesting. Today, I tried to do more research on The Movement in Iceland so that I could get involved and I wasn’t able to access their official website…I’m based in Italy at the moment and I wonder if Berlusconi’s people/government has done something to the internet connection…cause I can’t log on to their website…unless of course I do have the wrong address:
http://www.islandshreyfingin.is
I tried accessing through two different computers.
I was able to sign the petition to save the people of Iceland through Facebook but I hate Facebook. Anyway, thought I should let you know.
“Europe’s current share of 23% of quotas is roughly equal to its share of the world economy. The US, on the other hand, represents 30% of the world economy but only 17% of the quotas.”

EU is looking to get a seat on the IMF council. The region has more representation by quota than the US.

@Snoot
“I did not indicate that IMF was suprasovereign at this time. I asked if you were against suprasovereign agency. Are you?”
You did, but you used agency in the wrong way and forgot to qualify which agencies when you said
“Do you wish for suprasovereign agency to end, or only the IMF?”
Compare “Do you wish for life on earth to end or only your own?”
your own is included so you did indicate that IMF was suprasovereign at this time..
Semantics snooty boy..
or juxtapoetry of course.
@g7enn … Lindsey Williams has heard from the El
If he’s anything like his book, Max will never get an answer out of him until 2 days later !

Never gets there !
OK .. I finally got to the last chapter of his book .. interesting read … but who is his “Deep Throat” ? …. A PTB member ?
This is how dumb the news is
“Middletown blast: ‘Mass casualties’ at US power plant. A huge explosion has rocked a power plant in the US state of Connecticut, with US media reporting at least two people killed and many more injured.”
‘Two casulaties’ is not ‘mass casualties’, but as the news is carried without criticism it has to remain obviously inconsistent.

@G7enn:
Isn’t the inclusion of Lindsey Williams on the site you link a bit incongruous? Lindsey believes in the inherent word of god, the Bible, which recommends spanking of children.
Also: why doesn’t Lindsey just give us the names of the criminals behind our suffering so we can put the guys in jail? Are we supposed to thank Lindsey for his godly act of enabling the criminal’s actions by concealing their identities?
Further: the sdr reweight is most likely the ‘event’ that will trigger the dollar devaluation. If the yuan is included along with other trade currencies, the dollar should see a major dilution. Why doesn’t Lindsey just speak sensibly and talk about this item? Is he unaware of the sdr’s contribution to the value of trade-weighted currency? Or does he also seek to protect the interest of those sovereign wealth functionaries which have access to the sdr-denominated assets through the IMF banks activities?
How does he believe gold will retain value in a hyperinflationary environment when it is priced in dollars? Won’t the ETF market collapse as well?
@Dan II
Casulaties? Many accidents?
@Snoot. yes the paper gold will collapse. gonna be hard to prop up paper gold. real gold will be really shiny then. i know i can’t eat gold but if you cash out and pay debt at the right time you may have a better time in this coming nightmare. i could be wrong of coarse.
@MotherofEarthlywisdomandRhetoricalprowess:
What?! I do believe the IMF is acting in a suprasovereign way, but they still have to lie about it. I guess the only change would be this one:
“Do you wish for suprasovereign agency to end, or only the IMF?”
To this: Do you wish for suprasovereign agency to end, or just the IMF?
In which case I would like to mention that the IMF is not the only agency working to overstep their administration through bullying. Of course one might add: the WHO, the UN, the EU, Norad, The North Pole (who gave Santa the right to shimmy down chimneys without a warrant?), the World Bank, the Girl Scouts (I mean we have to buy those cookies so we don’t look ‘mean’), NATO, et.al.
It reveals, really, that the nature of man is one of a surfeit of individual agency in collusion with the tribal spoils.
What about those Habsburgs?!

@Henrique Oliveira
While you are google-earthing our country, you may want to note its size. Canada occupies 1/16th of the planet’s total land mass. And considering we don’t have roads going to every last outpost in the nation; it’s sometimes a little difficult to keep every last square inch of it as tidy as your double-standards might dictate.
“I was appalled that such squalor is to be found in Canada”
If you really want to see squalor in this country, take a look at the conditions forced onto natives by their racist chiefs, corrupt casino bosses and their unsustainable reserve system. I should also note that until receiving its 15 minutes of fame, the overwhelming majority of Canadians probably didn’t even know Iqaluit existed nor cared that it did. Yet on the other hand, your criticism of Canada would be viewed by almost all as disdainful and stereotypically arrogant.
BTW, your observation that this meeting was held at the ends of the earth to avoid protesters and limit accessibility by media is likely correct. Cheers.

Im sorry but i see no issue with disciplining a child, and if that means a smack so be it.
ITs no coincidence that since a bunch of morons decided to play god and divinly say smacking a child to be wrong that we have created a few generations of self centered, brain dead idiot kids who think all that they want is there right. No resposibilty for there actions.
Now i hear these do good idiots saying you should not stop the childs pocket money or ban them from watching TV but should talk to them………YEAH RIGHT, and the break up of the family structure continues as planned.

Bob Chapman cites a Harvard fund manager in his latest report; the man he cites lost Harvard millions:
One solution: Don’t even try, just hand over all of the endowment to outside money managers. But Mr. El-Erian insisted on keeping things intact. He talked of the “structural advantages” of investing a big endowment backed by an AAA-rated university, such as allowing you to borrow at low rates when making leveraged bets. The former Pimco emerging-market superstar also believed that the developing countries offered big profits to smart investors like HMC because they had become less risky thanks to ample dollar reserves and a growing middle class.
So Mr. El-Erian upped HMC’s exposure to emerging-market stocks, which rose from 6% of assets when Mr. Meyer left, to 11% two years later. He also used total return swaps to bet on developed world stocks and commodities on the cheap, freeing up money for other investments. Tapping former Stanford endowment staffer Mark Taborsky (an “important hire,” Mr. El-Erian would later write in a book), Mr. El-Erian also took money from hedge funds he didn’t like and redirected it to ones he thought were winners, putting hundreds of millions into funds in Latin America, Asia and the Middle East.
The moves looked brilliant. For the year ended June 2007, Harvard returned 23% versus 17.7% for 151 other big institutional investors (and 20.6% for the S&P 500). Fearing all markets could soon fall, Mr. El-Erian injected what he referred to as “Armageddon insurance” into HMC’s portfolio for the first time by buying interest rate floors, or a wager that rates would fall, and betting, via credit default swaps, that companies could soon struggle to pay their debts.
For the following year, through June 2008, Harvard gained 8.6%, versus a 13% fall in the S&P. Mr. El-Erian’s insurance accounted for much of HMC’s outperformance. Hedge funds, however, were sucking up cash — HMC had increased investments in those areas to 19% from 12% a year earlier. The returns were flat. It’s unclear how much of the results –good or otherwise — were Mr. El-Erian’s doing. He left at the end of 2007, six months before the results came in, citing a desire to move back near his wife’s family in California and return to Pimco as heir apparent to founder Bill Gross.
Since July, emerging-market shares have been a disaster, falling 50%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, worse than U.S. stocks. Another problem: Mr. El-Erian’s insurance has been partly taken off since he left, leaving HMC vulnerable when markets plunged this fall. The total return swaps, which easily could have been terminated, were left alone. The EFG-Hermes Middle East North Africa Opportunities Fund, a hedge fund launched in September 2007 with some US$200-million of HMC cash, was down 35% in 2008. Mr. El-Erian’s big hire, Mr. Taborsky, left HMC in September. He’s since joined Mr. El-Erian at Pimco. Messrs. El-Erian and Taborsky decline to comment.

Contagion seems to be the word of the day.
It is obvious after seeing the poor control on the H1N1 epidemic’s spread that the UN and most national governments are poor at controlling contagion.
It looks to me like the only nation that really did a great job at containing the spread of the disease was China.
Irony of all irony is that the EU did a poor job of containing the contagion even when the French and Germans were producing vaccine.
If you can’t innoculate your people against a killer influenza virus, do you really think the governments can innoculate against the soft-killer of financial derivatives exposure?

@ronron
my flu shot was jaegermeister,

All I know is my supposedly very smart brother a teacher at a big high school and his wife a doctor in san diego never spanked or backed up any punishment on his two kids. They just sent them to their rooms as punishment. And the kids knew the routine. A half hour in thier rooms and they came out. And because their was no punishment that taught the kids perimeters both kids went to prison for all sorts of crimes they committed. Because they never had punishment that worried them. They’re in thier late 20′s now and finally making a life for themselves. And I’ve heard this story many times from parents who never spanked or punished their kids enough that it would set perimeters.
Of course you can over do it. THose are the kids that are police and military people now. Those types are sicko’s.

Raising kids is a life challenge, as a parent , you are up against a system that is programming kids for failure. I, believe in tough Love. My kids think I am really off the edge sometimes. BUT, I see results with time. They come back to you a couple weeks later after being drubbed by Dad. They chatter bout how they see situations. You know when your successful when you smile inside after they respond in a way that you as a parent know is right.
The system is fucked up, all about the stinkin dollar.

OK then. What happens when UBS goes bankrupt. Switzerland goes bankrupt and all bondholders and savers get a nice indefinit bank holiday Argentina style ?
Ok. So what does that mean for the savers ? the bondholders ? and for the system ? for the pension plans ? for you insurance policies ? in general. A country specific paralysis or european and american paralysis ? It’s frustrating. Could you at least find articles describing what would happen if tomorrow this scenario happens ?

Seems to me this graph is as accurate as the ones who made it. It also contains a lot of subjective risks like terrorism. For me the risk of terrorism is 0.1% but the risk of state organized terrorism (False Flag) is 99.9%. Don’t even see it mentioned in here.

Well, Eileen?
Yes, I have been pursing together what he’s been uttering for the last few days. Here it is, Doctor:
“LOVEY DOVEY, MOMMA, got enough balls, MOTHEER and SON relationship”, oh and he keeps mentioning someone named Rhonda, although he often calls her Ron.
Hmmm. Interesting. Is he a bed-wetter?
No, Doc. He spends an inordinate amount of time listening to odd music, but he has a normal social life. He only exhibits the ‘latent maniacal tendencies’ when he spends time on the internet. He tends to pepper his posts with periods, A LOT OF PERIODS, and a strange penchant for CAPS.
Eileen, I’m afraid there is not a lot we can prescribe for the poor lad. Fresh air, more fruits and vegetables, and water might help. He seems preoccupied with a lack of some quality ingredient: did you say if he attended college?
No, Oh Doctor! Don’t get me started on that! He thinks higher education is the mark of the beast! Why he insists that college graduates are losers fit for nothing except perhaps floating about like jellyfish. He often picks on someone named Snoot.
SNOOT?! Is that a Christian name or a surname, Eileen?!
Well, the snoot character answers to: Snoot, Noot, Snootch, Fanny, Frank, and Frances. She also seems to be a bit odd, but not dangerous. My goodness, Doc! SG can barely tolerate her: one wonders what she could possibly post to aggravate him so highly!
Eileen, I’d diss that file. The young man is just ‘finding his wind’ so to say. He will surely grow out of this obsessive muttering. All in a day’s work, Eileen. I think we need to concentrate on that other file: what was the man’s name?

Stacy, Thanks for the link. it’s an interesting article. It seem like Euro Zone countries are in stalemate. In the article, he mentioned about the financial crisis in Korea in 1997 and Imf. During the crisis in 1997, IMF forced korean government to privatise Heath Care System, but they refused it. Actually korea has a very good Heath Care System.Of course, korean govenment had to privatise a lot of govenment enterprises.
Korea suffered from the financial crisis due to the lack of US Dollar holdings. the japanese govenment did try to lend dollars to Korean government due to the fear of the ripple effect. Then what happened?. Cliton steppend in and said ” no, no Nakamura san, this is my game. Step back”.
According to one of the articles from Joesph Stiglitz, the American govenment gaind $80 billion within a year and then $200 billion between 1997 and 2002 as a result of the financial crisis in Asia.
Everyone knows that the financial crisis in Asia strenghed US dollar.
The Country’s economic system has been completely changed since then.
Destrction of the middle class.

If sovereign debt crisis looms won’t GOLD be used to pay some of this debt off, thus cleaning out countries of their gold holdings in central banks?
Where will this gold go?
To China or will it end up with the IMF?
If it ends up in China they are the next super power, if it ends up with the IMF then they have Gold backing their new world currency.
Just an idea, IMF and world bank play the ownership of Africa and South American countries via debt, now they maybe they will own the world via debt.
Its like a massive mafia, you cannot leave the system once you owe money. You must play by the creditors rules.

I am sure that your site Max and Stacy is on their priority list to be closed and censured. Sure. Enjoy freedoom while it last because Obama is the real mean stufff. The enemy of liberty is the US government. More and more. It has nothing to do with “security”.
It’s about assasinating liberty, murdering democracy and killing the soul. The wholesale destruction of not just the economy but liberty as you know it. One day you will wake up and you will be effectively in Nazi Germany. Naturally the trick is to implement everything gradually. It’s working like a cinch. “It’s for your security.”

The free spirit of open discourse is the ultimate threat to those who operate in the dark.
In the past when Rep of Ireland was under Uk control speaking the Irish language was punishable by prison and any organising or gathering was again punishable by very
strong measures. Any speech critiscising the system To get past the bans people wrote poetry and songs wher ethey replaced the word Ireland Eireann with a girls name eg An Chulainn etc. The escaping slaves of the American South also had a series of songs which was used to map out the underground railway.
So shall it be Max and Stacy The Musical?
Hope you have a game plan to fight. This country will soon be hell on earth. As scary as Nazi Germany or the USSR. Hope you have a game plan.
Marc authier, don’t know what to say. But “don’t tread on me”.
Max and Stacy The Musical is definitely a runner,we already know max can sing now it ‘s your turn Stacy!I can give Max a few singing lessons.
Remember the old Irish rebel songs and the ones where they replaced the word Ireland Eireann with a girl’s name so they wouldn’t be executed or deported for subversive behaviour!
‘Come all ye folk and listen to my tale. Goldmann’s greedy bankers are too big to fail…..because the people wont enter the fray, they’ll rob them blind day after day,
next verse please someone?
The “don’t tread on me” was what the fathers of the constitution made a point of.
Obviously the facists have taken control of the usa. Most americans don’t have a clue. Just give us cheap gas so we can drive around and we’ll accept anything the facists want from us. Sad , very sad.
The problem Jon is that it’s your own government that intends to “thread on you”. It has nothing to do with long bearded terrorist in a cave in Afghanistan. It’s about threading on you and treating you as a “potential terrorist” to protect the Wall Street, the FED crooks, the media monopolists, the big business, and all the parasites feeding upon the taxpayers. And the treason is coming from your elected offiicials. It’s about totally destroying and raping ALL of your Constitution. Just to give as a pretext that’s it’s for national security and you can rape, torture and even kill US citizens. It’s a nice formula but the danger is YOUR GOVERNMENT. Your democracy and your constitution and YOUR righys are being destroyed by YOUR government, not by a foreign enemy. It’s exactly the same context as in Nazi Germany. No diffierence. Really. As the economic crisis deepens, you can be assured that Nazi Germany is the Pentagon and the CIA game plan. Remember this film.
THE SIEGE.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Siege
That’s what your rullng class Republican bastards and Democrat bastards have in mind for you Jon. This film is scary. It’s almost Copy of the last 10 years of hell in the USA and the rest of the world. The scenario is almost the same. More subtle and slow in the real world but if the scenario seems familiar, it is.
Your US constitution is just a piece of used toilet paper for your ruling class. They wipe the ass with it on a regular basis. Just read the supreme court judgements and all the neo-nazis HR laws voted EACH week.
You are under siege Jon, and it’s the US government that is the enemy of the people in 2010. Ben Laden that joke is US government employee. Always was.
marc authier, most folks know that. but the usa govenment is now owned by the banksters and nazi facists. It actually has been for decades now. But they now are starting big time their agenda of world domination.
I just wish some nicer folks were gonna take over the world.
@MA__it’s your own government that intends to “thread on you”.
I have to agree with you, they watch everything they can. From what I am learning this has been going on for a long time, but with technology, the gov can see where the money is. That is what they really want to control. I feel like America is sliding down a sewer hole.

Maybe you will be put on the anti-bankers hate list. It will soon be strictly forbidden de denounce or critizise bankers and the finance crooks ruining the place. Check if they have started shutting you down.
Here’s the ballad of the Banksters
Come all ye folk and listen to my tale,
Goldmann Banker’s are too big to fail,
Because the people wont enter the fray,
They’ll rob them blind day after day.
They borrow the money at zero percent,
to play the markets is their intent,
Sure they get bailed out when the money’s all spent,
And when you’ve lost your home they’ll charge you to rent.
Now those bankers are a wily lot
If you pas s the door sure you’ll smell the rot
Of illegal, bloody wars and a central plot
To rule the world and steal all you got.
Come on more verses folk!

Fricken Max said this s@#t would happen. He’s right more than he’s wrong.
For our friends outside the US and as an retrospective for MaxKeiser devotees:
There is a special place in my heart for great marketing campaigns. These marketing campaigns often reflect the times and era which spouts the advertisement.
Youtube seems to have become a wonderful repository for these commercials.
Since Reagan seems to have come up tonight, I would like to remind those who were not following the campaign of 1984 of the two ads which brought about his landslide victory. One was the Bear Ad and the other was called Morning in America. Both commercials were stunningly successful in their propaganda value. Not only did the commercials remind Americans of the struggle but it also set up the victory scenario of the Cold War.
The Bear Commercial was to set up the Soviet Union and Russians as the “enemy”.
Bear Commercial – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpwdcmjBgNA
Morning in America was to play off of the fears from the 1970′s inflation. Reagan’s early first term was an economic disaster but military spending put the nation on a war footing.
Morning in America – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU-IBF8nwSY
Take a look at the Reagan Campaign commercial from 1984 called “Train” – “Leadership that’s working”.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwahxXNDrrI
And, here’s a commercial on inflation-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O364Qnwd7v8
The stark contrast between this particular era of political commercials and the current global economic destruction is stunning.
Tonight, on Bloomberg TV in the US, the Japanese finance minister was shown making a comment at the G7 summit. He says that before leaving Tokyo the opposition party was asking difficult and tough questions. And, upon concluding the meeting, he is looking forwards to going dog sledding and getting as close to the North Pole as possible.
ROTFL
I guess he must have felt decidely cold at the meeting. LOL… It’s hardly an economic thaw or morning in America.
@Dan II – South Carolina Subversives.
Since the state requires subversives to register, does “subversive” include AWOL governors who flee to Argentina for sex with his mistress?
ROTFL… the entire legislature, all judges, and all state officers should be the first to register. After all, their inability to appropriately reflect the spirit and intent of the US constitution is obvious when Argentinian interests are placed ahead of Americans.
@es lyrics, here’s the best i’ve heard
“Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It’s nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home:
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Gonna
Kill kill kill kill Kill the poor:Tonight
Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate’s gone
Feel free again
O’ life’s a dream with you, Miss Lily White

Convinced the liberals it’s okay
So let’s get dressed and dance away the night
While they:

Seems that even with New York State going the way of California, Gov. Paterson couldn’t keep it in his pants and is expected to announce his resignation. How embarrassing for NY.

Subversive is secret by nature. Goldman’s open declarations do not qualify. No doubt Goldman’s seek to mold the world to their benefit. It is the agenda that they pursue quietly that I worry about.
@ Dan
It must be called the “Subversive Activities Registration Act” because the “Sedition Act” was already taken.
@ Dan – I saw it as them being subversive in their language; advising ordinary Americans to invest in foreign markets is just another way of advising that they abandon ‘merica. Pretty funny when you think about it: they’ve rigged and fucked the markets so badly that they, themselves, are advising people to invest elsewhere. You’re right, though; I worry about what they’re doing in the shadows, too.

Is Ben Laden and the people from the Mossad and the CIA registered there ?
They should. Anyways your bosses will finish by being all from China. I am surprised that Obanana hasn’t sold the White House to a communist general from the red army ? China has now 2500 billion reserves. Quite a phenomenal atomic bomb to yiels against the USA. You can thank Bushie and naturally Obanana for this terrible situation.
You can see this 2500 billion dollars as mega White House bunker blaster. If for example the US tries to cut oil access from Iran boom ! The 2,5 trillon can be dropped anytime. It’s much more effecient than an army when you think of it.
Most US agencies should register. Ouuppps I forgot the FED.

@ Y’all – And about Coke – they are an international entity which lacks any nationality. Therefore, they have no allegiance to any nation. Their goal is to cooperate with all and Make the World Drink a Coke.
For those anti-Coke folks on this blog – you can spout anger, but unless you can figure a positive image that beats this stuff, you will lose your propaganda campaign. I’m not saying the facts are wrong, but the American people need to be swayed using a “positive” and “loving” approach.
Here’s the start of the Coke campaign that changed the minds of the world.
America’s soul and the soul of the planet will move upon universal messages which sharing experiences. The reason this “Hill Top Ad” commercial is so powerful is that it was released during the height of the Vietnam War while the US was lobbing bombs on the peasants of Vietnam and Cambodia and in recent memory of Korea, WW2, and WW1 veterans in old age.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8H5263jCGg&feature=related
Coke then followed about ten years later with this Christmas remake around 1980 (ten years later):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zCsFvVg0UY
Ten years after that, Coke redid the original Coke Hill Top Ad. This commercial has to handle the public relations debacle that Coke created for itself when it tossed out the “Original” recipe and created New Coke. The brand was attempting to match the smoother taste of Pepsi on taste tests. Instead, it found out that it killed its own sales and needed to bring back the “old” coke. The commercial was done in 1990.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1SCYBgBUyE
Lest you think I’m being jingoistic with this posting and the prior, take a look at this Coke Ad from China. The theme doesn’t need an English translation. The label says it all and so does the scene. Most guys and girls have been in this specific situation, regardless of where you are on the planet.
BTW, the word “wei” is “hello”, but you can already figure that out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANfFwFqTS9o
OR, this one from the Phillippines – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ourx95ng5uk
This one from the United Kingdom –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_uq20yeuig
What is particularly poignant of this commercial is that it was released in 1986. Basically, the children in this commercial are likely to be the very people who have been tossed from their flats, homes, and apartments in the international capital destruction. The future of the world and nation has been squandered by the bankers who have destroyed that future in their own mountain of debt.
This blog is testimony to the mythology of capitalism in its former incarnation.
But, we need to move to not only close out control by groups like Bildeberg and their corporate arms. These arms have hands which strangle us financially and choke our futures while we eat their foods and drink their mass produced canned goods.
@Stacy – You may want to consider linking creative talents internationally to move an international populist agenda which is encourages personal liberty, economic liberty, freedom of expression, and shows great heart and promise.

Try crossing the boarder with $10,000 in cash in any direction and you will find that your govt. is paying close attention to all movement. What’s so illegal about immigration, they don’t hire themselves, and to think of all the businesses that do and pretend they don’t, and pocket the tax. And what services are these ‘illegals’ getting, emergency rooms, oh our nuclear shield? Did you say you lived in San Carlos, or was it San Ramon, Martinez?
I can’t remember, San Diego, San Francisco, San Pedro, Ignacio, Corte Madera,
Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Pescadero, Santa Cruz, San Anselmo, San Leandro
San Juan Batista, La Jolla, Santa Barbara, San Mateo, Palo Alto or was it Paso Robles? Qutoas doc? You seem like a constitutionalist but I don’t remember any immigrant quotas in THAT document. They came latter with the alien sedition act and earlier with the chinese prohibitions. Slavery was replaced by ‘illegal immigration’, that is why you were able to go to medical school, had your parents had to pay a living wage to famers for you to grow up on vegetables, you would have gone to vocational school. The whole new world economy has been based on slavery of one form or another since it’s discovery by the west. Illegal employers are a reality, illegal citizenry is a concept of radical statism. And I thought you hated the govt. doc.

China has notin to do with Copenhagen and again they just struck a coal deal for two decades. If you gonna deny that you exactly prove what I’ve said. Your delusional…IF.
Youri:
After the dollar dies, the international clearing union will direct emission standards and coal will die as well. That is why the Chinese are divesting so much capital in nuclear now.
The yuan, the dollar, the euro–the demise of currency will herald the hegemony for the nuclear standard.
China and the US won’t choose to continue coal consumption for energy. There won’t be a choice.
Copenhagen directed the new hegemony through resource control and away from currency. Retooling the international financial system will introduce the ‘green initiative’, or post-industrial export/import control of a global regulator.
It is delusional to ignore the movement by the world’s power brokers towards this goal.
The yuan is not owned by the Chinese. They are screwed.

Indeed the goal of the Globalists is to kill the dollar but more and more I am beginning to doubt if they will really succeed? The dollar seems stronger than they’ve and we’ve anticipated cause of it’s reserve currency status, lack of alternatives and very deep markets.
I do think that the dollar decline will continue but that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be keeping using it as trade coin. It just means you need even more of them dollars to get the same value and to make up for the dollar decline. And nowadays you can insure everything also a dollar decline so that’s maybe the reason those derivative markets are growing like crazy, an other 20% lately. And at the same time money is made on the dollar decline in the dollar carry trade which also could function as a dollar decline hedge.
This could be a huge mistake of the NWO thinking they could easily destroy it.

China aims to diversify out of U.S. Treasuries into other assets and commodities. The question that governments are grappling with is which markets are deep enough to absorb China’s riches? Gold? Oil? Euro-area debt? The Madoff family’s next Ponzi scheme?

@Youri:
Remember when Fisk said that the GCC would peg their currency, perhaps, to a basket of currencies + gold? Why suddenly the amnesia, Youri? Ya’d think people would acknowledge the role of the central banks and the BIS/IMF in coordinating the international financial system. Indeed, the G20 recently approved the 250+B fiat allocations of sdr for member nations in the IMF. The system is in place; the system is functioning; the system is moving away from the dollar as reserve and into an sdr/reserve system.
The new system will not tie the reserve to a nation. The nations will be cut, therefore, from international trade profit. The deficits/surplus will be managed by the same guys who now own the yuan.
It’s a racket that is being ‘helped along’ by the press. The press ignores the reform of the system that is now an ongoing reality. The press indicates that gold may be a component of the sdr basket in 2010. But no one speculates on this inclusion, because the press may not speculate on the sdr basket.
We, the common folk, are not to know about the choices being made for our future outside a cooperative stance we might take in our soon-to-be-instituted ‘communities’.
Coal is not within the hegemony of the NPT treaty, so coal will not be advanced as a resource. Coal will become unprofitable due to sanctions or regulations.
The same system is relegating securitization as unprofitable and ignoring the affect on the US economy.
Here’s a discussion from October 2009 which includes a video from MaxKeiser. Max still hasn’t cited his sources who indicated then that gold would be included in the sdr basket: why not?

One may talk of this this this but not that. Screw this this this I want to know about THAT!!!
F–k Morgan Stanley. It’s a kind of reasoning that prevails to explain the apparent strengh of the dollar. In reality ALL paper is condemned. It would be very interesting to see a US $ 50% higher and no exports anywhere. This is the type of reasoning that ressembles a lot what occurred during the 20′s. Europe and Japan in sum will try to export ALL their troubles to USA which is ALREADY in the house of pain. I don’t think so. Except if you believe Americans will accept a 40% unemployment and a total implosion of their export markets ?
@Youri
That’s funny, calling the reserves a bubble. It wasn’t a bubble when these countries worked and shipped tangible goods to the US and got payed in them. It is quite a mindbend to now turn around and accuse Asia of holding a lot of worthless cash. It is worthless because the US is not keeping their promises to provide something to buy with them.
Is this what Lindsey Williams was referring to in his dollar devaluation warning?

Gold, most probably, will not be included in the basket. The gdp (including subjective hash like gross national happiness as decided by the ‘wise ones’) most probably will.
If we do nothing to stop the criminals, the criminals will proceed to ‘drive their wagons’ round the loot and then ‘kill the natives’.
The circle will be all those excluded from participation in the sdr trade. Got elite friends? I bet a lot of the press do or are getting ready to suck like baracles to the ship that flies the right ensign.
I pledge allegiance to the flag: the corporate federal!

The demise of the dollar is the demise of the nation/state IF we allow the criminals to lead us by the nose into a global governance system whereby we all get to play-act at being Bangladeshi natives.
Think about it: if the reserve currency is not tied to any nation, who has the power?
We are allowing the BIS/IMF to pretty much enact a bloodless coup over all nations through the sdr unit of account which is the unit of the BIS/IMF. Who owns that bank? My guess is the royals and certain elite banking families who’ve all agreed to certain parameters in their new visionary utopia: parameters within the agency of the few and outside the choice of the majority.
This is not about the end of empire! Asia won’t profit from their trade!
Think about it.

Dont worry guys Dollar is not depreciating as per Bloomberg article rather its worth more than it was in 1975 ……………..LOL what a sham this MSM is
“For all the concern over the $1.6 trillion U.S. budget deficit and record debt load, the dollar is as valuable now as 35 years ago.
Measured against a basket of currencies from the Group of 10 nations proportioned by how they trade against each other, the greenback is up about 3 percent since 1975, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency Indexes. That was four years after the Bretton Woods agreement, set up in 1944 to link currencies to the price of gold, collapsed. The U.K. pound has dropped 34 percent and the Canadian dollar has fallen 6 percent.”

“As a matter of sound economics, the well being of the world should not depend on the management of a single currency.”
What does Stiglitz offer us as an alternative? Oh, the management of everything by a single bank. (Literally everything)
His reasoning is faultly for he cedes control of the well-being of the world to the worst criminals the world has ever known.
These men feel necessity requires a mass culling of humans.
@frances snoot
Well talking bout amnesia, remember what I wrote a while ago on your SDR piece. Trade is based on confidence and to build up trust in the SDRs takes a long time. I don’t think it will replace any currency soon and only will play a side role for countries who’ve got not much choice cause their in the hands of the IMF. What could happen, but I am just speculating here, is that they lure China into SDRs by giving them a deal to exchange their dollar hold in SDrs but the advantages would be minor and there are disadvantages. Only when giving China more power in the IMF this could happen but still this is al speculative for now.
In fact Linsay Willams is not saying that he just repeats what he has heard from some member of an elite branche, to be clear. His call of oil going to roun $50,- was 100% accurate and was confirmed by leaks of the Bilderberg meeting.
Latest dollar rally will be tempered by U.S. debt concerns. Geithner is only performing lip service by stating that U.S. debt will be decreased in the future. Moodies can’t be taken seriously anymore and they know that so that’s why they begin talking about degrading U.S. triple AAA position but again this will prove to be an other lip service game.
So to summaries it all : Loads of talking this and that but little change.
@frances
I would start by mass culling the same people proposing the mass culling. It’s not very difficult you know Snoot. We all know the names. It will eventually happen.
“Central banks that disclose breakdowns of their reserves bought a record $60 billion worth of euros in 2009’s second quarter, more than half of their new cash in the period, based on International Monetary Fund data adjusted for exchange-rate changes using methodology developed by Barclays Capital.
They then reversed course, putting 15 percent of new reserves, or $17.8 billion, into euros in the third quarter, the smallest share of any period in which their reserves grew since early 2008. Central banks put 45 percent, or $52 billion, into dollars, up from 36 percent.”
Do we trust Bloomberg on this? Whom are they citing?
Remember Bloomberg was the man that got a big chunk share of Lehman from SirEvelyn Rothschild’s table. He ‘stayed on’ as mayor even though there was a term limit. He stands to profit from the sdr/reserve beyond his wildest maniacal dreams.
@Marc:

Marc, these guys are the authors of shock and awe. We will be surviving, not running about with pitchforks.
Pitchfork time is NOW. But all are trying to save their gold, their trickets, their lives within the corrupt system which plays men like a cat plays with a mouse.

Guess Lin-say is going to heaven for all his goodness! It’s easy to know things if one knows whom to ask! Winkey, winkey. And we can throw in a bit of a pantomime concerning the old paradigm: you know, godliness, be subject to authorities, feed the preacher, et.al.
Guess what? We heard the same thing from Stiglitz when he indicated that the sdr/reserve might happen in a year. I prefer a man that doesn’t need to rearrange his dentures with every other word.
On a provincial Irish note – George Lee former chief economic commentator on the state broadcaster who left his postion last summer to run for a seat in Parliament has resigned from his party and seat after only 9 months .
He states that he has been ignored completly on economic matters and has been sidelined by his party
While there is probably personnel jealousies within the party , it should be noted that Mr Lee was very much against the NAMA project and was in favour of bank bondholders getting a haircut
This was the policey of its economic team early last year but now it has gone very quiet on the subject
My own theory is that the Mandarins of Dublin Castle who are chiefly Jesuit educated are following the instructions of their masters in Frankfurt and Brussels and this understanding has flowed down to the Fine Gael elite.
Malcontents such as George have been silenced through a policey of isolation and he seems to have had enough.
Speaking on Irish radio he seems to think that he can get his old job back but that is now impossible as he is now a political animal within the state broadcaster – at best he will be put out to pasture or given a foreign assignment.

“At the U.N. this week, Stiglitz was clear that the U.N. panel believes that regulation must be comprehensive.
“You actually have to do something,” he said.
Asked by CBS News about a preferred and realistic timetable for phasing out the dollar, he answered, “My preferred timetable would be that it could begin to be phased in next year. We have a framework which is the SDR, right now, [the currency that the International Monetary Fund uses] and that could be done right away so in that sense we even have an institutional framework.” That, in essence, he said, was the China proposal.
Stiglitz added, “It could be done within a year. Realistically, I don’t think it will happen that fast. Some of my more cynical friends think that it is only after the economic slowdown moves into a malaise of several years that we will figure out that we have to do something more fundamental – and that would mean after 2013 that the world will be more ready for this.””
