My brother sent me an email to tell me that our old parish priest had been defrocked! I sat their for a second, stunned trying to figure out what atrocity he could have committed?? Well it turns out he was shacked up with the school secretary. Both of them were in their 70′s. And I looked at the sky and proclaimed, “Thank God we got the heterosexual priest!” So, shacking up with an adult consenting female is a crime. But, buggering little boys is condoned by a total lack of enforcement. And they wonder why the faithful are leaving in droves.

Max, very nice.
That was a funny show. Thanks.
Don’t know if anyone’s read this yet, but it’s entertaining, reads like a Hollywood movie ! : )

Haha, I like your virtual currency facebook credit analogy Max, it’s so very true. There’s another form of this very happening in a online game called “Second Life” that a whole ton of people seem to play. They even held a real life congressional meeting and a bill passing in it. Each congress person was logged on to a computer, given their second life character, conducted their congressional process from that computer along with all the other members doing the same. I’m pretty sure that the second lifer’s will join in on this virtual currency deal (if they have not already) and then, not only can people partake in neo feudalism like daily routines in real life, but also on the web in cyber life. Love the show Max Stacy.
Whistleblower to CFTC in JPM Silver Manipulation Struck by Hit and Run Car In London
http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2010/03/whistleblower-in-silver-manipulation.html
I’m reading
THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT
by Reinhart and Rogoff
(I’m about 1/3rd through it)
And in it, they point out how SOVEREIGN DEFAULT is too normal…
For instance, GREECE defaulted 6 times since its independence 1826, 1843, 1860, 1893…1931… and 1991-1995
For them, it is NORMAL!!!!
in the system we live under where P<P+I (Principle, Interest), these situations will just keep happening again and again…
When coupled with EXPONENTIAL factors of monetary obesity, these cycles are going to happen quicker and harder each time…
Solution? thus far, nothing…
Identify the indicators of looming crisis, and decouple yourself as best as you can before the busts hit…
The one factor they point out in the book is the concept of Capital Flows…
when a Nation suddenly sees a large increase of Foreign Capital coming into it, that is usually a warning sign that crisis is pending…
To which, I am worried about Canada…
There has been an increasing amount of capital flowing into Canada since many consider it "safer", currency-wise, than other nations, and that leads me to believe something is going to breakdown here…
With Real-Estate over-bloated in several areas across the country, while the actual economy is not keeping pace (e.g. employment, wages, tax receipts, etc) I can only conclude the bubble is on the verge of popping…
Perhaps I am just overly-concerned, but looking at the patterns in history, it becomes hard to deny…
Anyway… Great book for Econo-geeks… pick it up!!!
I couldn’t believe this story as I read it on my phone…
Fed’s Sack Says Financial System Needs Leverage
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601068&sid=alQl8wcLoMwA
Brian Sack, head of the markets group at the New York Fed, said the financial system can’t operate well without leverage and signaled that he supports the return of a “properly” structured securitization market.
“Securitization is a powerful vehicle that should play an important role in the intermediation of credit in the economy,” Sack said in a speech delivered by video conference from New York to an audience in Sydney. “We should also understand that a reduction in leverage to near zero in the financial system is not desirable.”
…
Derivatives are also “integral” to the functioning of financial markets, allowing risks to be redistributed, Sack said.
So he says the market is rigged (i.e. properly structured???)
And thinks that having the credit blow it self up again is normal…
WOW!!!!
@ The Roach
I have checked out the various links you and others have provided on peak oil and earth resources in general and it does look like game over for current energy rich lifestyles barring some totally new cheap and easy to get at source of energy.
Tea Party lack direction and leadership so Palin steps in to fill the gap. The same way mafia steps in when government is weak.
And the house buying frenzy continues in Australia. We will follow China as Jim Rogers says there is a similar thing happening there.
This is despite interest rates rising and the Reserve bank makes no secret that they will continue to rise. Maybe they know that all debt will be forgiven everywhere or something.

AGENT 86
Heart of Darkness
Classified
The Chairmans methods have become unsound. He has crossed the Rubicon with his army of followers that worship him like a God and follow all orders no matter how ridiculous. He is out there operating without any decent restraint – totally beyond the pale of any acceptable economic conduct.
There is a conflict in every human heart between the rational and irrational, good and evil, and good does not always win. Sometimes the ‘dark side’ overcomes the ‘better angels of our nature’. Very obviously, the Chairman has gone insane.
Your mission Max (agent 86) is to travel up the Chesapeake Bay, enter the Potomac and follow it to Quantico – There you will pick up Stacey (agent 99) and proceed to DC. Pick up the Chairmans trail there, infiltrate his command by any means neccesary, and terminate the Chaimans command.

“Is it not amazing how air head Palin, FOX news latest celebrity politico has changed the tea party movement from a grass roots groupings to a new addition to the GOP.”
Depends on what you expect. This is expected.
That is the GOP MO. – Lie, distort, propagandize, steal, extort, cheat, accuse others of what they are doing or will do shortly, scare, threat, co-opt, coerce, buy out, infiltrate, stage things that are not real. They are the masters,
I am sure I missed dozens perhaps 100′s of others.

Max, there is no such thing as “fiat” currencies, the whole idea is completely absurd. If the value of money as a medium of exchange was not determined by any physical resource then there would be no such thing as recession or depression, just infinite economic growth.
As long as a nation continued to increase the monetary supply in excess of the debt liabilities owing, this could go on forever and would only require us to hack some zero’s from the face value of the currency every 50 years or so. I challenge anyone to prove that fiat money has no value or claim on any finite resource.
But ‘fiat” money does not exist, never has and never will. All money has ever been and ever will be is a physical representation (unit of account) of the energy surplus available for purchase and consumption in an economy. You are really beginning to lose me with the facebook credit jibberish.
Todays money is given its value by the supply of energy resources man can utilize to increase net energy gains. Most important of which today is by far oil.
Tomorrows money will be given its value by the limit and price placed upon global carbon emission units that will drive the creation of net energy gains through energy efficiency and supply sustainability.
Cap and trade, ever heard of it or spared more than one minutes thought to understanding what all the fuss is actually about? Time to get real Max, anyone who believes in the existence of “fiat” money is about to get slapped in the face by decreasing net energy gains. Or to put it into terms that may be easier to understand today, a decline in the rate of production and therefore consumption of oil energy resources. Energy resources that are required to sustain and increase economic activity, that is required to allow the credit expansion that is needed to service the debt liabilities already owing in the system. Game over.
Is it not amazing how air head Palin, FOX news latest celebrity politico has changed the tea party movement from a grass roots groupings to a new addition to the GOP. Challenging the Powers That Be is going to be a lot more difficult than most think

The sooner they move the folks from israel to south america someplace the sooner we’ll have piece. Its looking more and more like the only purpose of israel is to cause trouble in the middle east.
Before the west made israel an offical military state the middle east was a pretty peaceful place. But the west discovered large amounts of rich crude oil there and thus israel was implanted to keep the middle east in turmoil and the oil companys rich.

This is how the IMF represents its gold holdings:
“The IMF acquired the majority of its gold holdings prior to the Second Amendment through four main types of transactions.
First, when the IMF was founded in 1944 it was decided that 25 percent of initial quota subscriptions and subsequent quota increases were to be paid in gold. This represents the largest source of the IMF’s gold.
Second, all payments of charges (interest on member countries’ use of IMF credit) were normally made in gold.
Third, a member wishing to acquire the currency of another member could do so by selling gold to the IMF. The major use of this provision was sales of gold to the IMF by South Africa in 1970–71.
And finally, member countries could use gold to repay the IMF for credit previously extended.”

Gambling.
Betting on ‘The Comeback’.
Now we are able to bet throughout, say, a rugby game. Not just before it, but during it.
If a team starts slowly and look like they might lose, their odds lengthen obviously.
You put your bet on at better odds and by a miracle they end up winning!
The referees, might even get a cut – No, that would never happen, especially in Australia where the people naively believe that we don’t do that sort of thing (I think we rank as the most scammed by Nigerian emails in the world).
You can still only bet on a horse race before they jump. I wonder if that will change. Odds changing per nano second depending on how each horse is travelling. I’s sure some Goldman mathematician could come up with that.
You could even call it ‘Front Running’.
I have some funds in Sprott Gold and Precious Metals funds. Sprott wanted to taunt the IMF and catch these corrupt buggers. He wanted to see if they really have the physical gold. The truth. THEY DON’T. What a smart cookie this Sprott.
Jumping Jehosaphats! Jim jeering jangles just joust jelly.
@Mini US
You probably right ! It’s VIRTUAL gold. The IMF gold was lent to the bulliion banks a long time ago and it has dissapeared ! Interesting hypothesis. I am sure your are correct about that. The IMF has no gold !
actually i wish i had not mentioned @Snoot. hahahaha. LOL.
If IMF Gold are promises from states to contribute, then the IMF sells it back to them as sdr’s. Then the states are buying their own gold back in a weird twist of rediculousness
Just like the rest of our financial system.
Max’s Facebook scenario is already with us. Next step is for the masses to participate.
The IMF saying it will help the poor with gold sales is exactly what Max is saying. When the ‘people’ need it, they with throw us some more credits.
Brilliant forward thinking explanation.
I have been paying more attention to gambling since Max first talked about Farmlife (or whatever its called) and the casino gulag.

“If monetary authorities add non-monetary gold to their holdings of monetary gold or release monetary gold from their holdings for non-monetary purposes, they are deemed to have monetised or demonetised gold, respectively.”
Demonetised gold? Are they referring to assets denominated in gold units or some other unit (sdr)? I wonder. How does the sdr unit correlate to this odd gold denomination that is demonitised when taken off their books?

Soros said the IMF ‘gold sales’ would be used to ‘help the poor’ with their utilization of the sdrs (paying down the interest). Well that seems to be this beast:
Deposits, securities and loans denominated in gold are treated as financial assets other than monetary gold and are classified along with similar financial assets in foreign currency in the appropriate category.
“Non-monetary gold swaps, that is arrangements involving the temporary exchange of non-monetary gold for deposits, are treated as collateralized loans (see paragraph 5.81. e).”
So is there actual gold involved. It seems yes, but in a way that is not physical delivery or retention but collateral for the interest loan for the sdr use.
Keynesian liquidity.

I think, ronron, that IMF gold is an accounting unit like sdrs: with no actual corresponding liability.
It’s called “monetary gold” on their books. But the IMF acts as intermediary to facilitate liquidity transfer between sovereign banks.

Had to fix my fence today as the little daschund of mine decided to squeeze under the fence and visit the large pitbull mix next door. Lucky I came running (she sent a psychic text-message), leaped the fence (I’m still rather ahtletic) and saved the pip from the slavering fiend (well, I don’t like that dog anymore).
Made me think about games, dogs, and fences. Seems fractional reserve banking is a way of fencing people off from each other where the dogs (capital managers) run along barking at the boundary (demarcation lines). Well, what happens when the fences come down?
Mind you, the vet told me it is a Bad Game. But try to stop a dog from playing. And the first thing to shoot over the line of demarcation is toast.
But my pip is doing well. She did run straight-a-way to the fence to bark and challenge the pitbill (named King funnily). The pip didn’t know size matters.

Those images you see on TV of security men stacking gold are like the images of the $US printing press.
They were filmed 20 years ago and are the only images the news outlets have in their libraries.
We are led to believe that actual paper money is printed and gold is stacked.
I don’t believe that the IMF shipped 200 tonnes of gold bullion to India from ‘IMF Land’ so the Indians could get more pics of security guards stacking gold bars. It just goes on some dodgy sovereign balance sheets.
Jack. he does it every time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kwmeXowsRQ
I think that the IMF can’t sell gold to REAL customers because it doesn’t exist in the real world.
It is just gold promised by states. They are selling something they don’t even have. Its been leased many times already and now they are saying they are selling it.
Since when do these organisations need to possess gold to sell it on? If a real customer bought this gold the IMF may have to hand it over.
I think that is why Brown, Costello, etc sold gold. They were convinced that it was no longer relavent. It will need these entities to be shown up for the system to collapse, starting with the comex.
The IMF is a fictitious entity, like the Facebook world Max is talking about.

FACT
The total number of all priests accused of sexual abuse of minors is less than 5% of all Catholic clergy. That means more than 95% of Catholic clergy have never been accused and are doing their jobs correctly, living quiet and holy lives in service to their parishes.
FACT
In the overwhelming vast majority of cases where sexual abuse was reported in the Catholic Church, the alleged victim was a male between the ages of 12 and 18. Victims younger than 12 were almost never reported, and sexual abuse of females was also rare. This is not the clinical definition of pedophilia. It is however a type of predatory homosexuality that seeks to take advantage of underage young men. Therefore the term “pedophile priests” is a misnomer and not based on hard statistical data. A more accurate term should be “predatory homosexual priests.”
FACT
Homosexual men are not allowed to become priests in the Catholic Church. In order for a homosexual to become a priest he must lie about his homosexuality just to get into seminary and remain “in the closet” indefinitely. If he is ever discovered to be gay, he would be fired and laicized (defrocked).
FACT
Sexual abuse of minors is slightly higher in Protestant churches according to data released by insurance agencies that underwrite them.
FACT
Sexual abuse of minors is significantly higher in non-religious institutions that deal with children, particularly public schools, where according to a U.S. government report, a child is literally over 100 times more likely to be molested in a public school than in a Catholic church.
FACT
No other person in the Vatican has done more to defrock abusive priests and curb abuse in general than Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. He was a hawk on clerical discipline and hunting down predators. When he became pope he instituted a zero tolerance policy not only against abusive clerics but against homosexual priests in general. So it’s ironic this pope would find himeself under scrutiny for this reason.
Didn’t Salem Bin Laden also die in a similar plane crash? I wonder how much the Trillion dollar sovereign fund is really worth. A trillion of toxic cr@p maybe?

Celibacy was introduced to prevent the “priests” family from looting & retaining the assets of the “parish”
Ascetic groups practiced celibacy since time…believing that the body corrupted the soul…and that things of “this world” were “evil.
These offenses are against “males”….not females. Thus, marriage(females) are obviously not the concern.
Adult sexual offenses against “children” is & has been rampant in the world since time. In many places it is nearly Cultic.
Check out Guv. juvenile services….then check out our Public Leaders.

You don’t need to carry it. Gold can stay in storage and a certificate of ownership(digital, or paper) passed between people when they by and sell goods. When people start pricing commodities in gold, those commodities tend to stay stable in price or sightly depreciate over time, so any fungible commodity which is relatively liquid can be used to extend credit or be issued as a right. This should allow it to be used as “indirect” barter, which is how money works now. The only difference is that money, now, is non-substantive, can disappear and go to “money heaven” when the books of a bank fail to make any sense, after a bank run or when people lose faith in it. Gold won’t make an economy grow, it’s just a numeraire. Trying to plan for business with out a suitable numeraire is like trying to sculpt the the statue of David on rowing boat in the middle of the Atlantic. The casino economy is the result of a casino numeraire.

Somewhat tangential to the discussion of virtual currencies, but fascinating none-the-less.
Cultivated Play: Farmville
http://www.reddyeno5.com/afeeld/notebook/cultivated-play-farmville
‘Farmville is popular because in entangles users in a web of social obligations. — Citizens must educate themselves in the use of sociable applications, such as Wikipedia, Skype, and Facebook, and learn how they can better use them to forward their best interests. And we must learn to differentiate sociable applications from sociopathic applications: applications that use people’s sociability to control those people, and to satisfy their owners’ needs.’

@ Max and Stacy
great show but have a query for you
Even though Facebook (or other social networking organizations) are the most popular engagement on the internet….its reach is still drastically limited….collective social illusions which Money is, needs more than a majority to “buy” into the arrangement, the percentage that is required to move a collective belief into a Social Fact is uncertain but it is substantially more than what ever could be hoped for by the current social networking systems ….or truthfully what they are ever capable of producing
so why the certainty you express for this being the next bubble
hope that made sense….I do believe we all are currently awaiting the next bubble or crisis to spur development/engagement…but don’t see this social networking as being large enough
Holograms have a Bandwidth Issue right now
