Stacy Summary: If they want online donations, they have to give something in return! Like a blog or a podcast! Anyway, take this as a jibber jabber thread . . . as if you needed encouragement . . . 
(As an additional read, for those that missed it, here is Ellen Brown’s HFT article on Huffington Post now).

my tax is my donation.
consider the entire rigged system a donation … hehe!
I saw that a few weeks ago, it is sad and outrageous..Everybody is fixated on the virtual baby, and the real one is starving..PErhaps we live in an age in which we created addicitons we couldn’t control and couldn’t survive, nr. 1 being credit consumption..
Stacy!

The government is stupid and perphetic
An example if the relationship between a pimp and a whore the government is the whore the banking cartel that has access to fractional reserve system is the pimp.
Anyone who donates is a moron, the government had abundant funding because we granted it the authority to access our wealth via the mechanism of taxation, it need not go to some private corporation to borrow, simply monotize its own bonds backed by the tax payer.
In the future any government seen to go in debt to any external source would be deemed unlawful.
If that’s not insult to injury. And people aren’t angry?
And NPR and PBS do the same thing to us. They ask for donations making us think that they are reporting news on behalf of the people. Pl- ease.

not a farthing
I give my students questions on paying back the national debt to give them practice with large numbers. Here’s a question for you. Suppose you are a very lucky person and won the lottery ($300 million) and used all the money to pay off the national debt, would that help much? I know most of you here at MK.com know that this would only be a tiny dent… so try this harder question:
What if you won $300 million EVERY DAY (yes that’s very lucky). Then after 100 years, how much of the US national debt would you have payed off? 100% ? 50% 10% ? Answer below.
…answer:
NONE! $300 million PER DAY isn’t even enough to pay the interest on the debt! (Over $1 billion/day) The national debt would actually be higher than when you started!!!!!!!!!!
@Chris
What percentage of that billion is owed to foreigners? It would indeed magical to assume hunderds of millions worth of assets would be created in the US each day for those foreigners to buy, so that interest is indeed 100% inflation is it not?
Are these HFT programs stand alone ? is it possible for someone to access them illegally ?…I mean like hack into the computer fraud itself and commit fraud ? lol That would put a bug up their collective azz.

@Mother Earth 100% of all debt for every country is owed to foreigners, because the banking cartel is foreign to the public.
people get this idea that if they are in debt to another country then citizens of that country are collecting your tax, not at all, it isnt like that.
I’ve just donated £200,000 ,…well if you take out, you must put back in,.is my motto : )
Think not what your country can do for you,…..wahahaha lol,..
This is the twilight zone…
I donated to a government today, the SNP government of Scotland is rasing a legal case against the public broadcaster the BBC for not giving as per their charter equal and unbiased platform for the forthcoming election, as has been seen by the Lib Dems rise in the polls, the free publicity has certainly helped, yet the Beeb see fit to act as the Westminster governments plaything
just because the telly and the press decide it is a two or three horse race, why are all of them not given an equal platform, because it is not democracy without it
How about doing a story on this Max n Stacey,
rasing is how Inspector Clouseau would say it, what I meant to say was raising

US banks closing accounts on non-US resident citizens due to current US anti-terrorism law :
More American Expatriates Give Up Citizenship
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/us/26expat.html?src=me&ref=general
[...]
The Federal Register, the government publication that records such decisions, shows that 502 expatriates gave up their U.S. citizenship or permanent residency status in the last quarter of 2009. That is a tiny portion of the 5.2 million Americans estimated by the State Department to be living abroad.
Still, 502 was the largest quarterly figure in years, more than twice the total for all of 2008, and it looms larger, given how agonizing the decision can be. There were 235 renunciations in 2008 and 743 last year. Waiting periods to meet with consular officers to formalize renunciations have grown.
[...]
Stringent new banking regulations — aimed both at curbing tax evasion and, under the Patriot Act, preventing money from flowing to terrorist groups — have inadvertently made it harder for some expats to keep bank accounts in the United States and in some cases abroad.
Some U.S.-based banks have closed expats’ accounts because of difficulty in certifying that the holders still maintain U.S. addresses, as required by a Patriot Act provision.
“It seems the new anti-terrorist rules are having unintended effects,” Daniel Flynn, who lives in Belgium, wrote in a letter quoted by the Americans Abroad Caucus in the U.S. Congress in correspondence with the Treasury Department.
“I was born in San Francisco in 1939, served my country as an army officer from 1961 to 1963, have been paying U.S. income taxes for 57 years, since 1952, have continually maintained federal voting residence, and hold a valid American passport.”
Mr. Flynn had held an account with a U.S. bank for 44 years. Still, he wrote, “they said that the new anti-terrorism rules required them to close our account because of our address outside the U.S.”
Kathleen Rittenhouse, who lives in Canada, wrote that until she encountered a similar problem, “I did not know that the Patriot Act placed me in the same category as terrorists, arms dealers and money launderers.”
Andy Sundberg, another director of American Citizens Abroad, said, “These banks are closing our accounts as acts of prudent self-defense.” But the result, he said, is that expats have become “toxic citizens.”
[...]
Relinquishing citizenship is relatively simple. The person must appear before a U.S. consular or diplomatic official in a foreign country and sign a renunciation oath. This does not allow a person to escape old tax bills or military obligations.
Now, expats’ representatives fear renunciations will become more common.
“It is a sad outcome,” Ms. Bugnion said, “but I personally feel that we are now seeing only the tip of the iceberg.”
I donated $0.01
Everyone should. The cost of administering the proceeds would far exceed the donations. Get to donating and spread the word.

For my Canadian friend stuck in the USA, his cost to government is 25m USD.
The spreadsheet is here, and all university students should compute a spreadsheet to determine their cost to government :
http://cbc.am/Total-cost-to-goverment.xls
http://cbc.am/Total-cost-to-goverment.ods
If “The Treasury” (of a US state, or federal) gave my Canadian friend 400,000 SDRs (in USD) he could leave the USA and have no further cost to government.
Yes, this sounds boffo — but it is actually cheaper for the US government(s) to do this.
I believe that for 600,000 SDRs his exit could be totally permanent — and that this is the most optimal outcome.
It is illegal for my Canadian friend to work in the USA, or for that matter marry anyone.
US Citizenship — having or not having it — in this case is totally irrelevant.

we live in scary times were the working classs americans are the enemy
remmeber bush after 9 11 you dont worry just go shop dum sheeple
americans have become morons led by idiots who want collapse

meanwhile they say evrything is fine
now you know how the jews were trick and the germans
this is a repeat of history and is no joke
It would make sense to assign every citizen a piece of the non bailout debt and make bond issues conditional on a public referendum..That would erode public support for a lot of wastefull nonsense pretty quickly, and it would make people realize they have to do more for less..Financial democracy, that is lacking!
Why the nerve of them.
You know what? I’m liking this new direction the adminstration is taking. This is some Change I can get behind. Just think of all the possibilities. Myself? I’d love to see Geithner host a tele-a-thon with a bunch of b-list actors.
Or maybe Obama himself can go down to the local fair in his skivvies and sit atop a tank of water and have drunk high school kids toss softballs at a target to dunk him.
Hell, the entire adminstration can throw their stuff on the back of a pickup truck and revive the Carnivale! It’ll be just like the first Depression!

Each American resident owes at least 700,000 USD in {Cumulative Debt Per Person}.
Even handing over 10% of that number (some 70 k) would by my guesstimates force 50% of the US populous into filing legitimate bankruptcy.
At 20%, 70% bankruptcy rates would be expected.
At 30, 90% bankruptcy rates would be expected.

An excellent article looking back at the collapse of the Russian economy in 1998, and the follow-on LTCM collapse:
http://www.safehaven.com/article/16545/trading-lessons-from-the-1998-russian-debt-default
We have more than a few aspects which are so similar to that time, with the exception that leverage in the market has to be an order of magnitude larger. (Not predicting a Ruble collapse, but looking at the Asia Pacific region with its housing bubble and perhaps the rout of emerging markets.)
Well when your dealing with a dude that has a drug and gambling problem and is also a mass murdering rapist what did you expect would happen.

If people donate to me I can’t vouch for it having the same influence on the deficit, because I might do something usefull with it..
Here’s another article, which I think points out the heavy bias to the short term that’s in the market, which is a leftover of the onset of the financial crisis.
Short term rates were, at one time higher than long term rates for a period of 16 months, which began to reverse in 2007, which then led to the burst of the oil market-corner, and the collapse of Lehman. (although the same conditions for short term interest rates persisted prior to the Nasdaq crash, which I consider to be the start of the world financial crisis.)
Now, the legacy is a very unbalanced short term market based on treasuries.
http://www.safehaven.com/article/16323/now-start-watching-interest-rates
Its a strong argument for higher interest rates, but I’m thinking that despite the size of the treasury auction this week, the discount rate remains stubbornly lower than the policy rate by a good margin, so we’ll see discount rates decline once again.

Wouldn’t this type of logic be the same as trying to put out a fire with gasoline? Making the debt holders pay off the debt by adding even more debt to the debt…. Very odd logic, but hey, what should I and all of us expect from the Treasury…….
Oh, and here’s a nice clip of William K. Black showing congress how a real Financial hearing should go, not these sad pathetic attempts, that are instead just little talks and ‘show hearings’.

Hey, Here’s a thought: Somebody tell Bernanke about this! He’s sitting on $1 trillion in MBS bonds he’s holding as collateral for the banks. If he gives that to the Treasury (at face value of course!) then we’d at least have payed down 1/10 of the debt.

Why does the usa have to pay any interest to the FED if it is just part of the usa. Wouldn’t that be like making yourself pay interest to yourself.

MOVING TO MEXICO
Dear President Obama:
I’m planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We’re planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico , and we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I’m sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I’m on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don’t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won’t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I’ll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I’ll need Income tax credits so although I don’t pay Mexican Taxes, I’ll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov’t pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I’ll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U..S. From Mexico . I am sure that President Calderon won’t mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help. You’re the man!!!

Not sure if this has been covered here.
Bullion Banks charging customers for precious metal storage of paper gold.
“In 2007 Morgan Stanley settled a class-action lawsuit in which Morgan Stanley was selling silver to customers and charging them for storage. It turned out that Morgan Stanley was selling and storing silver that didn’t exist.
http://truthingold.blogspot.com/2010/04/comex-and-fractional-bullion-system_15.html
And…..
“The issue specifically concerns whether Morgan Stanley and many other large financial organizations who claim to hold and store silver for their customers, actually possess the silver.
http://news.silverseek.com/TedButler/1193161018.php
Sorry, Silver.
I wonder is Goldman have shorted themselves now.
It would make sense. They must have before the SEC news came out.
Or maybe the SEC shorted them, thats why they didn’t tell them.
Get them at their own game.
Anyway, looks like long IMF and World Bank from here.

HERE’S YOUR CHANCE
all you people out there that love a big, bloated government.
enough with the hypocrisy, here is your chance to do more than you are already forced to do.
i want to see it.
i am always hearing about how we need more government.
well, we got it. we have too much. more than we can afford.
get it.
we CANNOT afford this size of government.
instead of being passive aggressive – which runs rampant among those who want government and complain and blame others…
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE!
don’t let yourself down
here is your chance to not be hypocritical…and donate
donating already to a charity, you say?
too bad – your government needs more of your money
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE
just give away…
keep giving
don’t you believe in your government?
i am sure after you give, someone will write to you with a nice card!

Jim Rogers says we should buy agriculture if Katla erupts. What he means is that if that happens a lot of people will find themselves in dire need of food and that need can be exploited. I like Jim, but the inhumanity of his attitude is quite obvious. I assume that if Katla erupts the affected countries will ban commodity speculation.
We must be happy there where no Wall Street bankers on the titanic, because they would have used the calmity to make a fortune speculating on the life boat seats, taking transaction fees from everyone and perhaps even allowing the seats to remain empty to avoid litigation from the people they squezed pennyless..
