Stacy Summary: Feel bad for all the Irish out there because it used to be real easy for you to travel through the Middle East where the Irish are considered good people for standing up to the British empire. Now obviously, you’ll have to go through deep interrogation like everyone else.
- UK inflation jumps by 3.5% (that’s not a deflation I can believe in!)

2importance of long-term debt
3destabilizing effect of income equality
4stabilizing effect of government

Here’s the JSTOR link…
http://www.jstor.org/pss/4538470
I obviously didn’t go to a cool enough school to be able to access the papers…
It’s Steve Keen’s paper on Minsky’s “Financial Instability Hypothesis”
when I tried accessing it, I went deeper down a rabbit hole…
It was like a test…
@Mr. Bagoshite:
I can get info out of JSTOR.
Could you relink the article you mentioned? I’m keen to read it.
Gold update : Im betting that we have one more correction in gold, in the first quarter of this year. Test 1050 US level , from there we head upwards and away +$1600 US.
One last buying opportunity on the horizon , watch for it and for a huge Silver run up later this year. ( Also Farmland and related trading products are the verge of a huge Bull Market).
@Youri Carma
Faber knows who runs the show, up front and behind the scenes (economic and politically). He has always been very careful with what he says , about conspiracies, especially those concerning Zionists. His deepest thoughts are not for media consumption. Anytime , anyone brings up TPTB, or their puppets Goldman Sachs or any other cabalist front, he will chuckle and avoid the question.)
He does however, make no bones about the end game, telling all who will listen, that this economic system as we know it will end badly.( His time line, is 2, 5, 10 years). But not tomorrow.
@Max
And there is nice vicious kicker with all this debt load. Greece is a good example. When interest rates move much much higher all the debts contracted by the UK government will become unservicable. Let’s assume that rates go up 50%, quite possble ? The UK government goes belly up in a couple of weeks. It”s even more truer for Ireland. The inflation will accelarate the bankruptcy of UK.
What are the interests rates offered again to lenders on the UK debt ?
It means that real interest rates in the UK are negative.
A good example of silly expenditure is useless wind farms based on the MMGW lie.
Or huge expenditure on useless health computer systems. Or drugs for make pretend health scares. Unhealthy people are great for the current money system. As is lots of consumption on items with a short life.
All to keep a system afloat where the non wealth creating entities (banks and bankers etc) have most of the wealth. And everyone else is happy to watch and accept this.
Max
Isn’t all money borrowed in this debt based money system. Including Govt money in excess of what they collect in taxes
The debt money system needs borrowing to stay afloat and as the public have too much debt to continue borrowing the Govt must do this. By wars for example or silly expenditure.
Or change the system. My understanding is that the BOE is buying Govt bonds at present even though this is not allowed but there is no choice.
Until the huge debt is decreased the problems continue but it’s like a huge ship with drunk captains that can not be stopped. And the bankers do not want to stop it as it will impact on their bonuses.
so-called inflation was financed by the UK with more borrowed money.
the interest on the debt is increasing, not decreasing so the primary trend of a debt deflation spiral is still very much intact.
Will the UK raise interest rates to fight this “inflation.” No, because it’s not inflation, it’s a debt rat passing through a debt snake.

As crazy as it seems, it’s absolutely correct. Welfare checks going to buy mostly junk MADE IN CHINA with slave labor in terrible environnemental situations. And who represents 9% of the GNP of USA ? Wal Mart. It’s probably the same thing for China. Scary. I never NEVER NEVER shop at Wal Mart. NEVER. No illusion on the welfare check. It will soon be completely eaten away by inflation or even hyper inflation. The famous ONE WORLD (in Europe and USA) will much more to the image of China or the ex USSR. Not pretty.

marc authier, so true, china and india and other very populated poor countrys make the products. What I can’t figure out is. The folks in the usa buying the stuff made from this slave labor at walmart and such. Where do they get thier money. NOne of them look like they have jobs. Is it all welfare money buying the slave labor products.
These Irish instead of killing people from Hamas should concentrate on killing their local terrorists. No I am not talking about the IRA. I am talking about the other irish terrorists. Besides that, since Obanana the elected dictator now allows the assasination of its own american citizens abroad, murder is quite fashionable for the Obananatalibanana Republic of USSA. Irish monkey see USSA do, irish monkey do.
These greek terrorists can’t get anything right. They bombed JP Morgan instead of Goldman Sachs. These terrorist have reading problems and clearly lack any focusing or sense of priority. You have to be dumb today to be terrorist. It’s much better to be a bankster. You get to bomb countries and kill whole nations without any risk.
Soros is indeed the SCUM of the earth. Mind you. He not the only SCUM. Goldman Sachs too likes to do that to its very very very very very very very very stupid clients. There is only ONE way to solve this of problem. Acquire a brain.

Apropos of Nothin’..
There’s no one on the scene.. by which I mean the so-called Internet.. who is doing what Max Keiser is doing. No one is actively, directly, and boldly standing up and telling the thieves that they are thieves and that we are on to them. We are not fooled.
Many there are who tamely criticize the “system” but none of them are getting in the faces of the scumbags and telling them “you are scumbags.. and we are on to you!”
Even to the President of the United States, supposedly the most powerful man in the world, Max Keiser speaks in a loud, raw voice: “Are you friggin’ STUPID, or what?” “What’s WRONG with you?”
There’s only one Max.

Interesting observation
LA Area Port Traffic in January
Exports recovered somewhat in the first half of 2009, however export traffic has essentially been flat since last summer. Export growth was one of the key drivers of the economy in 2009, but it now appears – based on traffic – that export growth has stalled.

Pierre Lassonde (Ex Newmont mining) on KWN.
He has a great analogy for the inflation/deflation debate.
Pierre likens the situation to a bath tub where the drains in the bathtub are the deflation, meanwhile the US Govt are pouring in $$$ via the taps. So Both are happening at the same time. Question is will the bath completely drain with deflation or will it overflow with inflation?

Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.
Oh my, live avatar role playing!.
@Youri,….Great clips bud’,..: )
To complete the thought it is unwise for a smart person to warn a dumb person, as it unfairly gives evolutionary advantage to the dumb people, thus increasing the threat to the smart people. If you see danger, never warn anybody. Don’t interfere with evolution. I’m not that strict personally though..
william engdauhl. never hear of him. http://www.youtube.com/user/russiatoday?blend=1&ob=4
@Dedo
Yep, relevant Clip indeed. For people who don’t know Ayn Rand was of big influence on Alan Greenspan’s extreme laissez faire way of thinking, for the bad I may say.
Being smart may save you, but you’ll be few. Being dumb might kill you, but those dying will warn the others. Biggest challenge to dumb people is a stealthy threat. I guess that is the whole reason why there are smart people at all..
Lesson learned : People seem to learn the hard way, but actually people never learn.

He may get adopted or arrested: I wouldn’t take a guess on either.

I am going to keep living off credit as long as you keep buying my debt repackaged by the banks as a bond. The more you buy, the more the banks are going to offer me credit cheaper and on easier terms. Can you really blame me? Who should know better? Little ol’ negative-net-worth me or super-producer giant you?
You see, by buying my debt from the banks you have become my enabler. You are feeding the dynamic that will bury me in debt until I hit the mathematical limit of my ability to pay. Eventually it will become clear that life is simply not long enough for me to pay back the principle I have borrowed. And ultimately it will be impossible for me to even pay the monthly interest. But can you really blame me? I have always had an out. Have you? I have always had the option to default and declare bankruptcy! I know this, and even though I am not the sharpest tool in the drawer, at least I know where my escape route lies. Do you know where yours is?

“Started around 1980″.. ie., Thatcher, Reagan –> Milton Friedman (good buddy of rapist-butcher Pinochet).. “Libertarian” –> Kojeve (arch communist) and Synarchy.. the secret rule by secret cliches (bankers) .. The aim of “Libertarianism” is to deregulate even more.. resulting in even more slavery for more people.. the “Libertarian” answer is to hand all power to the few big psychopaths.. I suppose hoping that they will garner a few crumbs from the groaningboard of loot for their treason.. as has certainly been the case since 1980.. the rats have indeed profited at the expense of all..
For “Libertarians” to pretend that they are now against the rape of the country by the big bankers is simply laughable.. or would be if it wasn’t so tragic for millions. “Libertarianism” is a sort of nut religion like fundie-mental-ism.. instead of counting on Jeebus to fly down and “rapture” the righteous off to a land of milk and honey, they have been promised the 72 virgins of “trickle down” and other such goofy gibberish. They remind me of that schmuck in that movie who was bent for bears.. loved ‘em.. hung out with ‘em.. etc. Of course they killed him and his girlfriend.. and ATE them. There you go. You serve Satan, and by Jeebus, he rewards you by raping you and cutting out your guts and strangling you with them.

The Euro as a Currency
Fundamentally, applying standard economic principles, the Euro makes no sense whatsoever.
I thought this at its inception, but over time – given its apparent success – was lulled into thinking otherwise.
I am no fan of Milton Friedman (cited below), but any economist could proffer the same reasons why the Euro is a fatally flawed concept, not a genuine currency.
As a ‘networked’ currency, it is only as strong as its weakest link(s).
This is only the beginning of the Euro’s problems.
Finally, reports of the Greenback’s demise are greatly exaggerated.

“If all global fiat currencies are shuffling chairs on the Titanic. Binding them together and calling them the Lusitania won’t matter. You need something solid to stop the sinking.”
The sdr maintains ‘exorbitant privilege’ in a reserve system with sdr as unit of account. The core will be solid: as with the old-European core countries. The core feeds off the weakness of the periphery. The demonetization of assets will proceed like a planned demolition for those connected: and they retain privilege through the rule of law and the deed to title. Sdr-denominated assets will retain value: all else will lose value proportionate to the weakening denominated-currency. It’s about control.
The assets will be easy picking for the connected, and the people will be bound by gratitude for their very survival. How else could Sarkozy be so cock-sure in that speech?
What will the reweight mean for the sdr?
” The creation of an international currency unit, based on the Keynesian proposal, is a bold initiative that requires extraordinary political vision and courage. In the short run, the international community, particularly the IMF, should at least recognize and face up to the risks resulting from the existing system, conduct regular monitoring and assessment and issue timely early warnings. Special consideration should be given to giving the SDR a greater role. The SDR has the features and potential to act as a super-sovereign reserve currency.
Further improve the valuation and allocation of the SDR. The basket of currencies forming the basis for SDR valuation should be expanded to include currencies of all major economies, and the GDP may also be included as a weight. The allocation of the SDR can be shifted from a purely calculation-based system to a system backed by real assets, such as a reserve pool, to further boost market confidence in its value.” –Zhou

Inflation goals all wrong – IMF call to lift target to 4pc
David Uren From:The Australian February 15, 2010 7:14AM 6 comments
THE International Monetary Fund has called for the overthrow of inflation targeting as the central goal of economic management, and urged that inflation be allowed to rise to 4 per cent to give governments a better ability to manage downturns.
In a radical paper calling for far-reaching economic reform, the fund says too much reliance has been placed on interest rates to control the economy, and budget spending and direct regulation of banks should play a greater role, The Australian reports.

Well, considering we have some 25,000 Cos., 50 resignations is not really a lot . Interesting all the same !
Here’s what Zhou had to say about a new world currency:
“Finally, the reform of the international monetary system should be advanced. Currently, U.S.
dollar is used in most international trade and financial transactions, and is also the most
important reserve currency. The IMF data showed that the U.S. dollar accounted for 63.9%
of the total foreign reserves by the end of 2007. When countries increase savings and if
these savings are in the form of dollar denominated foreign reserves, capital will inevitably
flow into the U.S.. In the short run, the U.S. may need more capital inflows to deal with the
financial crisis; over the long run, large capital inflows are not in its best interest of making
adjustments to its economic growth model. Moreover, the over-concentration of foreign
assets in one particular currency may bring about undesired consequences. Therefore, in
addition to upgrading regulatory cooperation and rationalizing savings allocation, the
international community should move forward in reforming the international monetary
system. Efforts should be made to strengthen the surveillance on the economic and financial
policies in major reserve currency countries and to enhance the status of the SDR, so as to
advance the international monetary system towards diversification over the long run.”
@danny:
Here’s an interesting take on what has influenced Chinese savings written by the head of the China’s central bank, Zhou. He also advances what he deems solutions:
http://www.bis.org/review/r090327b.pdf
“The Chinese authorities have a clear policy intention to reduce savings ratio. Since 2005,
boosting domestic demand and encouraging consumption have been important components
of the national economic policies. These policies would eventually bring down the savings
ratio. Yet, in-depth studies are needed to identify factors influencing the savings ratio, its
elasticity with respect to these factors, and the specific adjustment measures to take.
Besides, the incomplete reforms in some areas have affected the adjustment of savings
ratio. Although private enterprises in China are already market-driven and free of cost
distortion, the reforms of the public sector are incomplete despite considerable achievements
in reforming SOEs. The lack of clearly-defined and fully monetized cost structure hampered
the adjustment of savings ratio. It is therefore important to expedite the reform of the public
sector and the transformation of the government functions…
The time series show that this round of low savings and high consumption in the US
commenced in mid-1990s. In contrast, the savings ratio of East Asian countries only surged
after the Asian financial crisis and China’s savings ratios did not begin to increase until 2002.
The difference in time distribution indicates that there is no significant causal relationship
between the two…
First, a comprehensive set of prescription is needed. Although the U.S. can’t sustain the
growth pattern of high consumption and low savings, it is not the right time to raise its
savings ratio at this very moment. It needs to strike a balance between stimulating
consumption and facilitating the economic recovery.”
China is a command-centralized economy: Zhou does speak for the power vector.
@youri
Inflation peaked in 1981 to be crushed by high interest rates and a strong USD. That was the end for US industrial production. Foreign producers gained a currency advantage. This was the same time that the derivatives started…
Here is the interesting part…
The same group that engineered the crushing of inflation also supported the non regulation of OTC derivatives including the smearing of Brooksley Born. They claimed that regulation would bring down the financial system and I bet they were right. The massive expansion of OTC Derivatives was an intentional defacto currency expansion kept off the books and official data. The highest real wages were in the 70′s, why? what changed? Now families needed two incomes, real inflation was hidden but the effects were real. Since then, wages have declined in real terms and costs risen.
The first OTC Derivatives transaction was in 1981, a coincidence? The year official inflation peaked…
Where would the gold price be today without those derivatives?
Now, what would happen today if the OTC Derivatives collapsed?
Massive deleveraging? Money rush into hard assets from financial? A nightmare for Governments and the Fed.

Well that’s a very good point Junior! Never ever thought of that. Have to think about that first.
SDR questions are for snoot. She’s really ino that area.
@frances,
Yes, I know inflation figures and GDP data are entirely corrupt rendering them practically useless. Inflationists and deflationists disagree based on their own definition of those terms. Just like Democrat and Republican debates.
If the Fed/Gov/Central Banks succeed, we will have inflation, if they fail we will have deflation, simple….
If money printing fails they just revalue against gold ala 1930′s, done, global fiat devaluation. They have complete control. Deflationists are betting against them. The system is corrupt and these people are not stupid. I would not bet against them.
Gold hits record high in Euros….
@youri
Exactly, it is all in your definition
Do you include rising taxes, increased fees or reduced services…
Do you include SDRs, Derivatives, gold, oil, gov rebates, increased government debt or obligations?
Austrian Economists would include all exchangeable instruments while Keynesians use money supply to determine inflation. My view is that the massive growth in derivatives since 1981 is a defacto unofficial currency expansion….

A cyber attack on the internets is easily skirted by adding a few nameservers (where http://www.maxandstacy.com turns into 128.9.23.122. Important systems and networks have double or tripple backup (I used to spec those). The whole idea behind it was to be robust under attack. HTTP and HTML came later.

“Those who manipulate the unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. In almost every act of our lives whether in the sphere of politics or business in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind”
