2012 PREDICTIONS...TEN MAJOR PREDITIONS WE SHOULD KNOW...!

THIS YEAR WILL BE DIVIDED UP INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT CRISIS SITUATIONS...

1. THE EUROLAND CRISIS...A DEPRESSION IS ALMOST INEVITABLE IN EUROLAND...AND THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS...THEIR BANKING CRASH COULD TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE GLOBAL BANKING SYSTEM...

2. THE CHINA RECESSION...CHINA IS A BUBBLE WAITING TO POP...REAL ESTATE IS BLOATED...AND THE GROWTH CAN NOT CONTINUE...THAT COULD TAKE THE WEST DOWN EVEN FURTHER...AS GROWTH DISAPPEARS IN ASIA...

3. THE DOLLAR-GOLD CRISIS... IF THE DOLLAR GOES DOWN VIS-A-VIS GOLD...NOT THE EURO...GAS COULD HIT $4 IN THE US...THAT WILL CLOSE DOWN THE US ECONOMY IMMEDIATELY...JUST LIKE IT DID IN THE SUMMER OF 2008.

4. THE BOND BUBBLE AND THE PARADOX OF ZERO RATES... ZERO INTEREST RATES ARE LIKE AN OBJECT APPROACHING THE SPEED OF LIGHT...STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN...AND IN THE CASE OF ZERO RATES...THEY HAVE DISTORTED THE BOND MARKET BADLY...AND ANY REVERSAL OF ZERO RATES WILL LITERALLY TEAR THE GLOBAL BOND MARKETS APART... WE ARE ENTERING A MONETARY "BLACK HOLE" NOW... AND ITS TOO LATE TO COME BACK...

5. ZIONIST-IRAN-ARAB SPRING DEBACLE... THIS IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION...ARABY IS GOING FUNDAMENTALIST....AT THE SAME TIME THE US IS PULLING OUT OF THE REGION... THIS COULD BE A TRIGGER FOR THE $4 GAS...OR WORSE...IF ISRAEL DOES SOMETHING STUPID.

6. THE US ELECTION...OBAMA SHOULD WIN...ESPECIALLY AGAINST THIS REPUBLICAN FREAK SHOW...THAT WOULD SETTLE THE MARKETS GREATLY...BUT IF OBAMA LOSES IT ALL HITS THE FAN ON WALL STREET...AS THE WORLD AWAITS THE REPUBLICAN FREAK-O-NOMIC POLICY SHIFT...! TOTALLY BIZARRE SINCE THEY REALLY HAVE NO NEW POLICIES...

7. THE SUPREME COURT DUMPS OBAMACARE... THAT WILL BE A MAJOR DISASTER... HEALTH CARE WILL BE THROWN INTO CHAOS...BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE A PLAN...AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE NOW...THIS THING IS TOO FAR ALONG FOR THE SUPREMES TO TRASH IT NOW...

8. SOME AMERICAN BANKS COULD COLLAPSE ...IF ONE OF THEM IS PULLED DOWN BY "OFF THE BOOKS" ACCOUNTING OR MORTGAGES THAT HAVE NOT BE REVEALED...US BANKS ARE IN THE ICU...AND THAT IS NEVER A GOOD SIGN...

9. IF REPUBLICANS "SWEEP" THE ELECTIONS IN CONGRESS...EVERYTHING COULD COLLAPSE OVER NIGHT...AS REPUBLICANS REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO SAY...ITS JUST FOX RANTS AND NONSENCE... THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR BLOW TO THE US AND GLOBAL ECONOMY ....

10. SOME UNSEEN EVENT...NATURAL, ECONOMIC OR MAN MADE...THAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS THING OF ALL...A YEAR IS A LONG TIME...AND HAS WE KNOW...MORE OFTEN THAN NOT..."SOMETHING" UNFORSEEN HAPPENS...

KRUGMAN ON HIGH SUICIDE RATE IN IRELAND...

KRUGMAN CONTINUES TO WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF ST. MAYNARD...

AND THAT IS FINE AS FAR AS IT GOES...

BUT WHAT I DON'T GET IS THAT IF OBAMA GIVES ME $600 TO SPEND...AND I BUY A CHINESE MADE FLAT SCREEN TV...HOW EXACTLY DOES THAT HELP THE AMERICAN ECONOMY...?

OK...THE TRUCK DRIVERS AND BEST BUY GET A ONE SHOT BOOST...BUT THEN WHAT...

THE POINT IS THAT KEYNES WAS TALKING ABOUT BUSINESS CYCLES...NOT STRUCTURAL COLLAPSES OF THE MACRO ECONOMIC EQUILIBRIUM...!!

KRGUMAN NEEDS TO TALK ABOUT THAT ISSUE FOR A WHILE...

AND SHOW ME WHY I'M WRONG ABOUT MY CHINESE TV...!

GOLD AND SILVER BEST BUYS FOR 2012

Virtually every macro economic indicator shows that the world economy is running on fumes...

But the glue sniffing will end in 2012...

There will be massive economic shocks in China and Euroland... But now America will not be able to respond...when rates are at zero...and the printing presses never stop...

Whats next.... The monetary and fiscal tools will be used...and used big time...

Austerity is always good for the other guy...

GOLD AND SLIVER FOR 2012...

WHY RON PAUL WILL SWEEP IOWA...

THE REPUBLICANS PARTY IS NOT REALLY A POLITICAL PARTY ANYMORE...

ITS A PRIMAL SCREAM FROM THE "LEFT BEHINDS"...THOSE IN "FLY OVER" AMERICA

REPUBLICANISM HAS BECOME A MENTAL ILLNESS...A REFLECTION OF THE ECONOMIC HOLLOW SHELL THAT IS AMERICA TODAY...

ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW...or, DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK...?

Republicans want to make this election a question of : "Are you better off now that before Obama took office"... For most Americans the answer is no...but many realize that they would have been worse off without Obama... The Bush Depression and Economic Collapse was that deep...

Obama needs to argue..."DO YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE BUSH ERA POLICIES"....

Curiously the Republicans have not changed A BIT since Bush...they are exactly the same...more tax cuts more wars...nothing has changed...

But people are smart enough to require some changes in Republicans' failed policies before they are put back in power...

Republicans have the BURDEN OF PROOF... And so far they are not carrying that burden.... Just HATING OBAMA WILL NOT WIN...

WHY?

HATE IS NOT A POLICY...ITS A DEMENTIA...

Ron Paul Supporters on Jews and Blacks....?

The typical Ron Paul supporter wants to :

1 . STOP BLACKS FROM CONTROLLING THE GOVERNMENT

2. STOP JEWS AND ZIONISTS FROM CONTROLLING WALL STREET AND THE ECONOMY.

These are the real goals of the Ron Paul supporters...

These notions are very common and popular in "Fly Over" America...and in parts of the urban South...

Nation awaits end of Iowa Freak Show...

It will be a relief to be rid of the Freak Show in Iowa...

Iowa has proven to be mostly wrong or irrelevant in the selection of candidates for President...

Ditto with NH...

The big primaries in the South will determine the Republican candidate...since the Republican Party is really a Southern Regional Party...supported by the Fox Network...

ONLY THE SOUTH COUNTS with Republicans...and the Fox Network is merely a shill for that constituency... For that reason...Romney will not be the candidate...or if he is he will lose badly to Obama in 2012...

REPUBLICANS BATTLE TO BE : "OBAMA HATER IN CHIEF"....!

NO NEW POLICIES... JUST THE SAME OLD BUSH BULLSHIT...THAT CRASHED THE ECONOMY IN 2008!

WHAT A BUNCH OF FLAMING ASSHOLES...!

NO WONDER NONE OF THEM WANT TO PUT IN THE TIME MONEY AND EFFORT TO GET THE NOMINATION...

IN 2012...THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION AIN'T WORTH SHIT...!

PREDICTIONS 2012...THE WORST IS YET TO COME...

STAY TUNED FOR THE GLOOM AND DOOM PREDICTIONS FOR 2012...

HINT : THE WORST IS YET TO COME...

FROM IRAQ, TO THE ECONOMY...TO THE HEALTH CARE DEBACLE...AMERICA IS IN FOR ANOTHER HORRIBLE YEAR...PERHAPS THE WORST IN HISTORY...!

OBAMA COULD ACTUALLY LOSE THIS ELECTION...AS AMERICANS EMBRACE THEIR INSANTIY...AND THE FAILED POLICIES OF DUBYA WILL BE RESTORED...!

AS THE INEVITABLE COLLAPSE AND DEPRESSION DEEPENS...THERE WILL BE PRESSURE TO PRINT EVEN MORE MONEY...

2012 WILL BE AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER...THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN YEARS OF "LIVIN ON FUMES"....AND HAPPY TALK..

THE MONEY PRINTING AND THE BORROWING HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THE EXISTENTIAL STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS AND TRADE DEFICITS OF AMERICA...

YET...THE FURTHER IMPOVERISHMENT OF THE PUBLIC SEEMS UNTENABLE...EVEN AS THE "REAL" ISSUES LIKE CHINA...ARE TOTALLY IGNORED.

WHAT TO DO...? HOW TO SURVIVE ...?

STAY TUNED...AND BOOKMARK THIS PAGE NOW...

ARAB SPRING DEVOLVES INTO A WINTER OF DISCONTENT...!

THE SURGE IN IRAQ UNDER DUBYA, THE WAR CRIMINAL, ,...WAS INTENDED TO SEPARATE THE TWO FACTIONS...SHIA AND SUNNI...

IN EFFECT WASHINGTON "HIRED" THE SUNNIS TO "BE NICE" TO THE SHIA GOVERNMENT ...THAT AMERICAN SHOCK AND AWE EMPOWERED...

THAT LASTED UNTIL THE RECENT PULL OUT...

NOW THE SUNNIS HAVE LOST THEIR POST WAR PATRON...NAMELY THE US WHO WERE KEEPING THE SHIA "DEATH SQUADS" UNDER CONTROL AND OUT OF SUNNI NEIGBORHOODS...AND PAYING OFF THE SUNNIS LEADERS TO STAY CALM...

BILLIONS IN US $100 BILLS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO SUNNI LEADERS...LITERALLY BY THE PALLET FULL...! IT WAS EASIER TO BUY 'EM THAN TO FIGHT 'EM...

NOW THE ARAB SPRING WILL BECOME A WINTER OF DISCONTENT ALL OVER ARABY...

EGYPT AND LYBIA ARE ON THE VERGE OF CHAOS...WORSE STILL BECAUSE THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC DEPRESSION MAKES THE LIVES OF EVERYONE POORER...

THUS IT ALL BECOMES A TOXIC SOUP FOR POLITICS AND POLICIES...

KRUGMAN : CAN REPUBLICANS WIN WITH LIES ALONE...?

THE REAL QUESTION IS CAN THEY GOVERN WITH BIG LIES ALONE...!

Republicans on Xmas Holiday with Chestnuts roasting in an open fire...

THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS...CHARLEY BROWN

Christmas is really all about Christ's teachings...and Christianity...

Christianity teaches us that the rich are better than the poor...and that there is "something wrong with" poor people and they are undeserving...and should be made fun of and ignored...

Christianity also says..."Hit the other guy before he can hit you"...

Hence the need for a Perma-War Budget...and the constant search for more people "not like us" that we can bomb...

Preferably little brown poor people living in remote huts...so serious property damage can be kept to a minimum

During this season we must all try to be better Christians...

And Vote Republican like Jesus would do...

That's the real meaning of Christmas, Charley Brown...

MSNBC SHOULD FIRE CHRIS MATTHEWS...HERE'S WHY

Chris Matthews is really a very stupid "liberal"...if you listen to him...He doesn't make good arguments for the Progressive cause... He is not really a thinker...its all rants and "bomb throwing" with Matthews...much like Fox does on the right... I don't know why he has his own show...perhaps they think he appeals to the less informed white people that Fox wants to dupe...Matthews is really much like The Newt...an old guy who no one would listen to unless they make bizarre comments... Both are pitiful really...a bit unzipped.My view is dupes are not needed... The facts speak for themselves... The elites looted the economy and shipped it to Asia...end of story.As to the Fox "contributors" they are pitiful freaks...actors who couldn't get real acting jobs... Its all lip gloss and stupidity on Fox 24/7... Fox just makes it up as they go along... Now many Republicans in office are realizing that the "Fox Echo Chamber"...can not defend them all the time... ( eg the payroll tax debacle...)Progressives could destroy Fox in a fair debate... I would love to see a well prepared Obama go after the "Genius" Gingrich in a debate... Obama's problem is that he can't really go for the jugluar...like the conservatives do...mainly because his Goldman handlers are holding the money bags... So real Progressives have to "fill in the blanks" on their own veiw of what Progressivism really is...or could be.

PUT DRONES ON THE MEXICAN BORDER...

Unarmed drones could solve the Mexican border question quickly and cheaply... No need for Hadrians Wall...no alligators in moots...!

An eye in the sky...with infrared for night vision...would pin point EXACTLY where the illegals are...and "patrolling" would become obsolete over night...! Just a matter of pick up and detention... Arming drones with stun grenades and a loudspeaker...could deter many and force them to turn back...with no use of manpower on the border...it could literally be done from anywhere...

But of course...this is all too logical to even be considered...!

GOOSING THE ECONOMY....?

Obama is facing an economy in near total collapse...similar to what FDR faced...only much worse...

In the 1930's America was the factory floor of the world...when the rest of the world collapsed in the face of failed colonialism...and the aftermath of WWI....

The collapse now is domestic, STRUCTURAL....and very serious...because its caused by the looting of the American elites and the off shoring of American productive capacity to Asia...

THIS IS FAR MORE SERIOUS THAN ANYTHING FDR FACED...

WE ARE BROKE BECAUSE WE DON'T PRODUCE ANYTHING...NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE "TOO MANY" ENTITLEMENTS...! ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE POORER NOW...THAN EVER...!

So far Obama has been following the old Keynesian playbook...with more and more stimulus... Never mind that the stimulus only stimulates production of TVs in China...!

NET NET... THE AMERICAN ELITES HAVE DONE WELL WITH THEIR CHINA INVESTMENTS...VERY WELL...

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE NOT...!

WALL STREET HAS KILLED THE MIDDLE CLASS GOOSE THAT LAID THEIR GOLDEN EGG...

BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FEED THE GOOSE ANYMORE WITH LIVING WAGES AND BENEFITS.....

RATHER...ONLY KEEP THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE GOOSE WHERE THE GOLDEN EGG COMES OUT...

Postscript:

Remember this every time you hear the ranters on cable TV...They simply are not talking about the real problem...!

IRAQ CIVIL WAR.....!!

BOY THAT WAS QUICK...NO SOONER HAD THE US OCCUPATION ENDED THAN THE IRAQ CIVIL WAR RESTARTS...

BASICALLY THE AMERICAN OCCUPATION...AND THE TRILLION SPEND AND THE LIVES LOST WERE ALL IN VAIN...

AMERICA HAS LOST THE IRAQ WAR...!

THE REAL WAR STARTS TODAY...

HOW TO SURVIVE THE COMING COLLAPSE...?

"Life is a meaningless nightmare of suffering" - Woody Allen

AND LIKELY The Buddha would have agreed...!

In times of trouble with the collapse of the old order...people often abandon society...and move into the woods and deserts to live beyond the chaos of their time...

The monastic movement after the collapse of Rome is a good example... The Buddhists institutionalized this idea...their entire system is based on monasteries...where materialism and greed are snuffed out.

Will America collapse in 2012...?

I agree that America will collapse at some point... I'm not sure that 2012 is the year...

The system can muddle through a lot of problems... But very likely when 'the end' comes it will be quick and "out of the blue"...sort of like September 2008...

Western Capitalism has essentially collapsed...its running on fumes and the printing press...everyone knows this...

The jobs are not coming back from Asia...at least not without an intervening Great Depression...and something else where the blank for "World War" used to go in the history books...perhaps a short exchange of nukes in the middle east..call it the "Six Minute War"...or a "new plague"...

Conservatives want Austrian style Capitalist "destruction"...but they can't get the destruction they need... That said mere $5 gas would snap the US economy into a Catatonic state...immediately...!

My hunch is that by 2050...we will have planned economies on a socialist basis...but with a fair amount of private enterprise...

But the current 1% solution...with all the money at the top is doomed... Likely the first trouble won't hit until the end of the next presidential term...when people realize that America is not exceptional anymore...and China is...

KIM DEAD!....PENTAGON SCRAMBLES FOR "NEW ENEMY"

Another "imaginary enemy" gone...! Saddam, Osama, Kadaffi, now Kim...

THE PENTAGON MUST BE SCRAMBLING TO GET SOME NEW ENEMIES TO JUSTIFY THE CURRENT ABSURD LEVEL OF WAR SPENDING...

North Korea...is and always was...a client state of our Bankers and Money Masters in China...

North Koreans were never a real threat since the 1950s...

When the entire South Asian region was in the midst of a post-war Communist fervor...From China down to Indonesia VietNam and Cambodia...post war Communism was on the march...

Kim brought BILLIONS into the Business of War at the Pentagon...and the Corporate War Industry in America...

Kim will be missed...by the Pentagon!

Postscirpt:

Well...we've still got the Iranian Mullha Bogey Men...so sleep well... And be assured as the Newt says: "Always remember someone is trying to kill you..."

IS NEWT MENTALLY UNSTABLE...?

If Gingrich were president ....he would be hugely PROGRESSIVE...and Transformational.. He would not waste time with politics as usual...

THAT is why both parties agree...! Gingrich must be stopped...

Gingrich is a loose cannon...not a team player... He could "decide" that China needs to pay huge tariffs to sell in the US markets...

The problem is its possible that The Newt is also a bit unstable... He could decide to be the 21st Century's Napoleon or Hitler...and start nuking the world...in the name of God, Free Enterprise, or Stopping Evil...

You never know with Newt.... And that is why he won't be President...

WE JUST CAN RISK THE NEWT... TOO MUCH IS AT STAKE...

GENIUS...? I DON'T THINK SO...VERY OVER RATED...BECAUSE A REAL GENIUS WOULD NOT BE SUCH A FOUL MOUTHED HATER...THAT IS NOT A TRAIT OF A "REAL GENIUS"...

BUT IT IS A TRAIT OF A DANGEROUS LUNATIC AND MEGALOMANIAC...! WE CAN'T RISK FINDING OUT...!

There is a massive push in the Republican Party to discredit The Newt...and get the Teabaggers back in line...

Additionally...The Newt may want a moonbase...but first he should explain what replaces "Obamacare" for the millions of uninsured ...who are freeloading on the system now and causing massive premium hikes for those with insurance...

NEWT BASHING : FINALLY SOMETHING DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS CAN AGREE ON...!!

MY HUNCH IS THAT THE NEWT WOULD BE THE MOST PROGRESSIVE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY...

THE NEWT WOULD BE TRULY TRANSFORMATIONAL...!!

THATS WHY BOTH PARTIES ARE UNLEASHING THE DOGS ON THE NEWT TODAY...!

NEWT AND THE DEBATE : ANGRY, CONFRONTATIONAL...POSSIBLY MENTAL UNSTABLE...

NEWT'S VIEWS ON THE COURT SYSTEM ...ARE ALMOST REASON ENOUGH NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM...

IN THE MIDST OF THE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION FROM THE BUSH YEARS...STILL LINGERING...

THE NEWT WANTS TO CREATE AN IMMEDIATE CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS WITH THE COURTS... BASED ON SOME PSYCHOTIC NOTION THAT THEY ARE NOT "PRO-RELIGION" ENOUGH FOR THE NEWT....

NEWT WOULD BE AN COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE DISASTER AS PRESIDENT...

HE IS ANGRY, CONFRONTATIONAL...AND PROBABLY MENTALLY UNSTABLE...

IN SHORT...NEWT IS DANGEROUS TO AMERICA...

IS SILVER UNDER PRICED BECAUSE OF HOT MONEY IN GOLD...?

PERHAPS SO...

CLICK HERE FOR TELLING CHART...

IS SILVER BETTER THAN GOLD IN 2012...?

SILVER IS LESS ATTRACTIVE TO HOT MONEY...AND IS LESS A CURRENCY PLAY...

BUT OVER THE LONG RUN GOLD AND OTHER COMMODITIES SHOULD CORRELATE WELL...

CLICK HERE FOR CHART...

AND ANY EVENT THE DOW IS A LOSER TO BOTH GLD AND SLV...

BUY THE DIPS ON BOTH GLD AND SLV.

HALF OF AMERICANS ARE NOW POOR OR LOW INCOME...!

AND REPUBLICANS WANT TO CUT THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET EVEN MORE...! AND LOWER TAXES ON THE RICH...??

LOOK...A FLYING PIG...!!

THE DANGER OF GINGRICH...

Gingrich will be another Cheney... Very unpredictable...

The very thought of someone like Gingrich in the White House should be horrific to anyone... This guy is capable of going off on the most bizarre tangents... He would very dangerous as President...

People like Gingrich with their "stream of consciousness" mindset and "word salad" thinking...should stick with consulting and advice giving... So that more rational and stable minds can EDIT their thinking through the prism of Common Sense and REALITY...

DEMOCRATS ARE WRONG...REPUBLICANS ARE EVIL...

THE NOTION THAT BY GIVING PEOPLE MONEY...VIA TAX CUTS ...YOU STIMULATE THE ECONOMY IS WRONG... THE ONLY ECONOMY THAT IS STIMULATED IS THE ONE IN CHINA...

BUT EVEN WORSE...THE REPUBLICANS ARE PURE EVIL...FOR NOT TELLING THE PUBLIC THAT THEIR ECONOMY IS A ZOMBIE...BECAUSE WALL STREET MOVED IT TO CHINA...

HERE'S THE PROBLEM :

TO JUMP START AN ENGINE...YOU NEED A SPARK...BUT ALSO YOU NEED AN ENGINE...!

OBAMA IS PUTTING JUMPER CABLES ON A BATTERY WHERE THE CAR HAS NO ENGINE...!

REPUBLICANS DUPED AMERICANS INTO ALLOWING THEIR ECONOMIC ENGINE TO BE MOVED TO CHINA...

ALL IN THE NAME OF FREE TRADE AND JESUS...!!

THE TRUTH ABOUT GOLD...

A LOT OF PUNDITS ARE TELLING YOU ~ "THE TRUTH ABOUT GOLD" ~ TODAY... GREAT!

IN A LOW VOLUME MARKET...IN A "FLASH TRADERS" MARKET ... WHERE "LONG TERM" IS OVERNIGHT...?

GOLD WAS A CORE INVESTMENT...

FOR ALL KINDS OF INVESTORS...

LONG TERM...FLASH TRADERS...ACADEMICS...HOT MONEY...BONUS BED HEADS...

EVERYONE WAS IN GOLD...BECAUSE IT ALWAYS WENT UP...

ODDLY, NOT SO MANY WERE IN SILVER...WHICH HAS ACTUALLY BEHAVED MORE LIKE GOLD "SHOULD HAVE"!

THIS MUCH WE KNOW...WHEN SOMETHING IS A NO-BRAINER...IT WILL HAVE VIOLENT UPS AND DOWNS...

WE HAD THE BIG UPS...NOW A FEW DAYS OF DOWN...DEAL WITH IT...

NET-NET... NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

THE WORLD ECONOMY IS IN A DEPRESSION AND THE CENTRAL BANKS...HAVE BEEN...AND WILL CONTINUE TO PRINT MONEY LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW...

NOTHING HAS CHANGED... BOUNCE AROUND IN GOLD IF YOU LIKE...CREATED "TAXABLE EVENTS"...

OR JUST FORGET ABOUT IT...

THE RUSSKI'S AND EUROLANDERS ARE CASHING OUT THEIR SOCK DRAWERS OF EUROS...AND GOING BACK TO THEIR OLD FAVORITE THE US $100 BILL...!

HENCE THE "RISE IN THE DOLLAR"...AND THE ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED FALL OF GOLD...

ITS A MARKET EVENT.... BUY SILVER ON ANY DIP...AND BUY GOLD WHEN THE HOT MONEY IS FLUSHED OUT....

THE GOLD TSUNAMI... WARNING: DON'T PLAY ON THE BEACH...!!

THE MASSIVE DECLINE IN GOLD TODAY... IS EXPECTED... HERE'S WHY...

GOLD BECAME A NO BRAINER FOR WALL STREET... IT WAS A PLACE TO HIDE IN THE FACE OF FED MONEY PRINTING...

THAT IS STILL TRUE...

BUT THE STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE OF THE US ECONOMY ...ALSO DAMAGED EUROLAND...PERHAPS BEYOND REPAIR...

AS THE EURO COLLAPSES...THE DOLLAR RISES AND GOLD FALLS... REMEMBER THE FLASH TRADERS ALWAYS TAKE POSITIONS ON BOTH SIDES OF THEIR "THEORY"...

ALL OF THOSE MASSIVE SHORT DOLLAR ...LONG GOLD TRADES ARE VIOLENTLY UNWINDING TODAY...

NEED PROOF...?

IS PAPER MONEY BECOMING MORE STABLE...MORE VALUABLE NOW... OF COURSE NOT...

THE MASSIVE NEED TO RAISE CASH IN THE FORM OF DOLLARS... AND TO TAKE YEAR END PROFITS...AND MEET MASSIVE MARGIN CALLS IS BEHIND THE GOLD PLUNGE...

NOTHING HAS CHANGED...IN FACT...THE CASE FOR GOLD IS EVEN STRONGER...

NOTE ALSO THAT SILVER WAS NOT AS VOLATILE AS GOLD RECENTLY...SILVER WAS REALLY MORE A PAPER MONEY HEDGE THAN GOLD OF LATE...BECAUSE IT HAD LESS HOT MONEY IN IT...

TODAYS GOLD ACTION IS LIKE THE BIG TSUNAMI....

AS THE WATER GOES OUT TO SEA...DON'T GO OUT TO PLAY ON THE BEACH...!!

RATHER ITS TIME TO HEAD FOR THE HILLS...

GOLD AND SILVER ARE BOTH BUYING OPPORTUNITIES...AS THE COLLAPSE OF THE PAPER MONEY ECONOMIES CONTINUES APACE...

LET THEM HIT BOTTOM...THEN LOAD UP FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF MASSIVE QE MONEY PRINTING!!

ALL THE OTHER "THEORIES" ON TOUT TV AND ELSEWHERE...ARE BULLSHIT AS USUAL...

OCCUPY THE WEST COAST PORTS...?

I have nothing against "cheap stuff"....even from "slave wages"....I don't care about the Chinese People

Face it we want $200 TVs...not $600 TVs...

HERE'S THE PROBLEM...

How do we keep the CHEAP STUFF FROM ASIA....

AND STILL HAVE A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY IN THE US...

Yes Yes...we are all going to write best selling novels...and go in our garage and invent the next Apple Computer... Blah Blah Blah... More education so you can get a job as a barista at Starbucks... Blah...!

For me...its not about cheap stuff...its about how to maintain a middle class that can afford to buy things...ON A LONG TERM BASIS...

THE WALL STREET VIEW... Is Cheap Stuff is good...even if it means that the economy collapses...and the FED has to print money to save it...

We need a REAL GENIUS to figure that one out...not a NEWT...

Have you ever noticed that the elites are lying to us about how this all ends...

WHY NEWT NOW...? HERE'S WHY...!

OLDEST REPUBLICAN WHITE GUY IN THE ROOM...?

SAME OLD SAME OLD...REPUBLICANS LIKE WHATS SAFE AND FAMILIAR...

NEWT IS SEEN AS THE GOD FATHER OF THE LAST "REPUBLICAN REVOLUTION"...THE ONE THAT THE TEABAGGERS HOPED TO COPY...

POSTSCIRPT: RON PAUL BEING MORE A LIBERTARIAN THAT A REPUBLICAN....

FOX AND THE FAILURE OF SUPPLY SIDE ECONOMICS

These are the final daze of supply side "trickle down" economics...The notion was "If you build it they will come".... So Wall Street built it....but IN CHINA...And for a while they did come...the American Consumer...mainly spending the proceeds of stock market "winnings"...and house refis...(it always went up remember?)...Then that ended in 2008...THERE IS NO DEMAND...AMERICAN CONSUMERS CAN'T FUNCTION WITHOUT THEIR FED GENERATED ASSET BUBBLES... WAGES HAVE BEEN FLAT TO LOWER FOR DECADES FOR THE 99%...Fox and their political party...say its because of "uncertainty"...usually about "taxes and regultions"... NO MENTION OF THE DEMAND COLLAPSE...We are told that if more money is given to the already BLOATED RICH... and taken from the already impoverished "former middle class"..... Via MORE tax cuts for the rich...cuts in entitlements...trashing the social safety net even more, cutting food stamps and medicaid...and lower wage jobs... JOBS WILL MAGICALLY "COME BACK"...Of course all these Fox "solutions"...will only push demand EVEN LOWER...!Exactly how...removing money from the pockets of "ordinary people"...the 99%...INCREASES THEIR DEMAND FOR GOODS AND SERVICES.....IS...WELL ... NOT COVERED VERY WELL ON FOX...Here's the problem : The Communists in China used an old oriental martial arts ploy of "falling back" so the enemy advances....to defeat the west...China exploited the greed of International Capital...which runs America...to destory America... Yes...all the factories are IN CHINA... because Americas allowed them to be put there...AMERICAS FELL RIGHT INTO THE CHINESE TRAP...OUR GREED DEFEATED US....HOW DO WE RECOVER...?Simply this...as We became dependant on cheap Chinese labor for our goods production... So too Chinese are dependant on the US TO SUSTAIN THEIR ECONOMY...ITS TIME FOR SOME TARIFFS...OR FOR THE CHINESE TO DO WHAT THE JAPANESE DID IN THE 80'S.... BRING THE PRODUCTION BACK TO THE US...OR FACE STIFF TARIFFS TO PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF AMERICAN MARKETS AND ITS ECONOMY....SIMPLE...

HOW NEWT BEATS OBAMA : THE PLAN...(CONFIDENTIAL) DO NOT FORWARD...!

Gingrich and Trump are going to run as a ticket in 2012...

There are 3 participants in this "debate"...Gingrich, some long shot loser, and The Donald...!

This is the debate that gets Trump back on stage for Republicans...as The Newt's VP candidate...

Gingrich realizes he must go for a Hail Mary...(which he should know by heart)... There is no other way...

And Trump's "China Bashing" could be like Perot's "truth telling"...a HUGE REVELATION TO THE PUBLIC...who really don't think that "The China stuff" is even discussable on TV...in front of ordinary people!!

Remember...its always "Americans are the best workers in the world"...blah blah blah..."We need education for the green jobs of the 21st Century"...blah blah blah...!

Also who would run with Gingrich at the top of the ticket... It has to be a clown show...and the best person for that show is The Donald...

Of course they will lose...because Obama is a shew in for a second term...

But then Gingrich can lead the Republicans in saying an Act of Contrition...

Then we'll see if "normalcy" is even possible for Fox Republicans...or if they are so far gone that a 3d party will be needed after 2012...

And as always...you heard it here first...

But if the The Newt and The Donald...go for the CHINA BASHING ON TRADE...

IT WILL PEROT ALL OVER AGAIN...

AND NEWT AND TRUMP WILL BEAT OBAMA...

Because people are so sick of being lied to about JOBS AND CHINA...!

MANLY MEN NEED NOT APPLY...FOR PRESIDENT...!

Can a "Manly Man" win the presidency...? Or do Whimps always win...?

Ever since women got the vote in 1920...almost every president has been kind of a whimp...non-threatening grandfatherly or avuncular... FDR was a crippled stamp collector...Even Obama had to "be" the non threatening passive and cool black male...to get passed the female vote... Could a bald guy or a fat guy be elected President...? No way...Whose going to follow a bald guy...!

Could Lincoln, Taft or TR be elected today...? No way...!

The only "manly" president since 1920 was LBJ...and he got in by assassination of our "dream boat" President...

Think about it...Harding, Calvin,....to Carter, Poppy and Sonny Bush, and Boy Clinton...

Women voters want someone they can "mother"...not someone who appears dominating, macho or "manly"...

Now you know the real reason for the "Not Romney" vote....

WHY ROMNEY CAN'T WIN....

Romney may have the money backing...but he does not have the people in the political cult we call: "The Republican Party"...as now defined by Fox News and AM Hate Radio...Romney has one big problem...NO ONE WILL VOTE FOR HIM...The Newt is the closest thing to a Teabagger that has a chance of appealing to the old guard Republicans... Newt is in effect a cross over candidate...he can appeal to the Teabaggers, with his insane rants and bizarre hate speech...And still have some credibility with the Wall Street (The Puppetmaster) Wing of the Party...It is way too early for the Teabaggers of 2010...to be replaced by a return to the Bob Dole Rule, of oldest white guy in the room candidate, like Romney...getting the nomination.Newt will get the nomination (And Trump will be his VP)...if for no other reason than to get the screams of the mob at the convention... Its a Hail Mary to be sure...but its better than an Act of Contrition by the Teabaggers after their 2010 wins...After that...the facts will dominate...and voters will soon realize that Republicans really only want to scream and complain...and not to govern.THEY DON'T WANT THEIR GREAT DEPRESSION BACK...!THEY ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET OBAMA TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT...

Hong Kong at Christmas

Hong Kong has the most glitzy shopping malls...and they are filled with shoppers... Every square inch of a building is used...

Even in an older "office type" building...there will be a crowded restaurant on the 3d floor...and you have to walk up the steps to get to it... Apartment buildings are 60 stories high...and they are built in clusters...with small shops and the metro just steps away... Good Soviet Urban Planning lives...?!

Everyone in Hong Kong seems to be young...or if they are old...they are very old and being lead around by a young club hopping fashionista relative.

Americans don't realize the ambition of the Chinese...everyone is a capitalist...or at least a business person... The role of micro-capitalism...markets and market stalls...is unappreciated in the US...

But as jobs disappear....more and more people will be forced into "making their own jobs"...

You see this now all over Asia and Eastern Europe...Americans need to realize that the Era of living wage "jobs with benefits" is over...and its not coming back anytime soon...

NEWT- TRUMP TICKET NOW INEVITABLE...!

My hunch is that the Donald and the Newt...are running as a team from now on...

The Donald could be Newt's VP just for the asking...after all everyone in Kongress hates The Newt...!

The Newt really does not want this nomination... He knows Obama is a shew-in for a second term... And the Newt won't spend any of his own money on the race...He almost quit this year...when he dumped his staff and went on a trip to Greece...

Newt is playing this for his book and consulting business...and the Republican "base" whoever they are seem desperate and totally confused...the Teabaggers have been suddenly struck dumb...

Or maybe the media lost that one Town Hall rant they kept playing over and over in 2010...!

Now Comes the Donald...and the Freak Show really gets ratings...

Republicans don't want to RECLAIM their GREAT DEPRESSION...they want Obama to deal with it...

But they will do a lot of screaming and ranting from now until election day...

Republicans are pathetic...but so is America...

Its a perfect match...

WHY NEWT DOESN'T WANT THE NOMINATION...

NEWT REALLY DOES NOT WANT THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT...

THE NEWT ENTERED THE RACE TO KEEP HIS NAME ID CURRENT...AND TO SELL BOOKS AND CONSULTING CONTRACTS TO SPECIAL INTERESTS...

NO ONE IS LIKELY MORE SURPRISED THAN NEWT....THAT HE IS SOMEHOW WINNING...!

TRUE...ITS SLOPPY SECONDS TO THE HERMINATOR...AND A BUNCH OF OTHERS...AND NEWT REALIZES THIS...

NEWT DUMPED HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN STAFF EARLIER THIS YEAR...BECAUSE HE CALCULATED THAT HE COULD NOT WIN...AND THAT OBAMA WOULD WIN A 2D TERM IN ANY EVENT...

NEWT IS OUT FOR MONEY...WHICH IS ALL HE CAN EXPECT AT THIS POINT...SINCE HE IS ESSENTIALLY UNELECTIBLE AS PRESIDENT...

NEWT KNOWS HE CAN'T WIN... HE'LL 'PLAY' HIS NEW POPULARITY WITH "THE BASE"...WHICH IS ABOUT 15% OF THE ELECTORATE...FOR WHAT ITS WORTH...

BUT NEWT WILL NOT SPEND ANY OF HIS PERSONAL WEALTH TO SUPPORT ANY OF THIS...

THE NEWT WAS READY TO BE AN ALSO RAN FOR MOST OF THIS YEAR...

BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE HE REALLY WANTS TO BE...

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE REPUBLICAN 'BASE' IS ALMOST TOTALLY INSANE...TO THE POINT WHERE FEW OF THEM CAN ACTUALLY SAY WHY THEY SUPPORT THE NEWT...

MY HUNCH IS THAT RON PAUL IS THE NEXT "FLAVOR OF THE WEEK" FOR REPUBLICANS...

ITS A LONG TIME TO NEXT SUMMER...!!

THE DONALD AND CHINA...OUR FREE TRADE NIGHTMARE...!

Trump will talk about China and Free Trade...and how its destroying America...

AND IT IS...but that is not a DISCUSSIBLE TOPIC...in our current economy...the media and the politicians won't touch it...for some odd reason...its all hush-hush...!

Supposedly, We must just accept the slave wages of Asia...as the inevitible price of progress...and "free trade" cheap stuff...no matter how much it damages the US economy...and makes it unsustainable...

Perot was right...there is a "giant sucking sound"...but not from Mexico...from China....

It would be nice if we could coax some REAL ANSWERS out of the political class on how this Free Trade nonsense ends with China...

AND NOT THE USUAL "GREEN JOBS" AND "MORE EDUCATION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY" NONSENSE FROM THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES...

WHERE ARE THE VALUE ADDED EXPORTS...FROM FACTORIES...?

The Chinese must be wordering why the Wall Street Capitalists are so in love with them...!!

TRUMP IS THE ONLY ONE TALKING ABOUT CHINA...EVERYONE ELSE ...IN POWER POSITIONS...IS STILL TOOTING THEIR FREE TRADE HORN...NO MATTER THE DAMAGE TO AMERICA'S ABILITY TO HAVE A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC SYSTEM...

And that is really really scary...!

FUND MANAGERS RUNNING UP STOCKS AT END OF YEAR...

WALL STREET MONEY RUNNERS GET PAID AT THE END OF THE YEAR BASED ON "STOCK PERFORMANCE"...

REAL OR FAKE...TEMPORARY OR NOT...IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE....

UNFORTUNATELY...INVESTORS DON'T...!!

THERE IS A HUGE DRIVE TO PUSH STOCKS UP...AT LEAST FOR THE REST OF THIS DISMAL YEAR...

WALL STREET BONUSES ARE REAL MONEY.... YOUR "STOCK GAINS" ARE NOT...THEY ARE EPHEMERAL... AND CAN EVAPORATE IN A FLASH (TRADE)....UNLIKE A CASH BONUS TO A MONEY RUNNER...WHICH IS "LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK"...!

THE DONALD PUTS FINAL NAIL IN FOX REPUBLICAN COFFIN...?

The Donald is horning in on Fox's turf...about making the Republican Party into a reality TV comedy show...and an entertaining political farce...

So sad for old guard Republicans ... I doubt there are any intelligent ones left... They always where a bit challenged in the brains department...

But after 4 years of Foxification...and now with the Donald...before that The Witch, Palin, Joe-the Plumber, The Herminator, Grover, The Paul Family, The Birthers, The Teabaggers, Rove, Liz, among others ...they are a national CLOWN SHOW... not a serious political party anymore...

CABLE TV...NAMELY FOX...DESTROYED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY...

And I seriously doubt that they will ever come back... It may be time for a new major party... The Republicans have become the "Whigs" of our time...

THIS DONALD DEBATE...WILL RUIN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY...!

THE RISE OF THE NEWT...EXPLAINED

Curiously the rise of The Newt was directly related to the fall of Cain....

Newts meteoric rise was directly the result of the Cain scandals....

NOT the consequence of the Newt's self proclaimed "Amazing Brain"... or his "debate performance" as reported in the media...

The Newt could be the last clown standing for Republicans...

And The Newt could be just the straw man that Progressives need to take back the government and get the Progressive agenda passed in 2013...

The Republican Party has degenerated into a Political Cult...controlled and directed from the Fox TV Studios...solely for Fox Ratings...and its "entertainment" value...

THE NEWT WILL BE VERY VERY ENTERTAINING... Probably the loosest of the loose cannons available to goose Fox's viewership....

In this Perma-Depression...Americans just want "Bread and Circuses" ....

Democrats provide the bread in the form of food stamps and unemployment benefits...

And Fox provides the Circus...with their nightly Republican Freak Show...

NEWT'S GOT IT...!!

The notion that the economic collapse of 2008 was "caused by" mortgages to poor people is nonsense... Just an attempt to deflect blame from the real source ... Follow the money...who got rich on the bundling of mortgages and selling them to places like Euroland and others who thought that a AAA rating was for real... Did the poor do the ratings...did they package the toxic assets and sell them to foreigners...?Like the rich say about raising their income taxes...in the case of the poor people with mortgages...you simply can't find enough of them to make any difference... If only the city slums are in foreclosure...why are the suburbs going under...?The reason the Presidency was taken away from Republicans...was because they mismanaged it and used it to loot the economy to the bone...Now they want to go back and do it somemore...?The Newt will be the perfect person...with his self proclaimed "super brain" to explain why Republicans are to blame...Unfortunately for Fox...the Newt's Brain " his genius" is likely a kind of megalomanic insanity...!Because his only "genius ideas" come about when he is spouting Progressive Positions...in the process of one of his "word salad" speechs at 60,000 a pop!On one thing this week that both partys agree on totally...both the Democrats and Fox...NEWT IS THE BEST NOMINEE FOR 2012...!!

TEABAG GOES LIMP...!

When the Teabaggers started ranting to force the US to default on its bond debts...

It suddenly became clear ...that these people were not ready for prime time... AM Hate Radio...The Fox Freak Show at Night...maybe... In power in Congress...no way!

The entire "movement" seemed to rely on a few town hall rants...that were played over and over on national TV... And the Fox Format of "News-otainment" was still "new and entertaining"...and Glenn Beck was soaring...and Public Policy as a Screamfest was good for Advertising...

Then...somehow it was all exposed as "Just Entertainment"...mostly designed to sell the books of the Fox pundits...

Additionally the radical right is allowed to make up their own "truths"... Outright lies where repeated over and over on Fox...

But because "conservative talk" was all "Bubba Talk"...it didn't have to pass the same accuracy tests that (Serious) Progressive Ideas have to reach...

Today...its just Fox ranting about how "unpopular" Obama is...while the Republican Clown Show moves on to the next Freak of the week...

I think that the working class whites wanted to rant...but they didn't quite know how to do it...Then Came Fox and gave them a venue... But it was the wrong issues and made no sense in the end...

THE COMING NEO-MARXISM....WILL WIN A NOBEL PRIZE...!

Its time to dust off Marx...

The Communists have won...China is the only communist nation...and they can buy and sell the Capitalists nations of the world...

The Cold War with Russia was a false test... Russia is a totally dysfuntional nation...they always have been...Not so the Chinese ...they were a great power for most of their history...A history which we never got around to in our western dominated history classes...!

Proof is the state of denial that Americans are still in about Free Trade...its killing the economy...but no one dares talk against it... We keep doing the same mistakes...and expect a different result...

Even the "stimulus" is an example...what do you stimulate except the sale of more Chinese made TVs...!!

Keynesian Free Trade has failed...

The first economist to dust off Marx...(who was a serious economist...which many people don't know about because of the propaganda from terrified capitalists)

...will win a ECONOMICS NOBLE PRIZE IN THE FUTURE...

THE NEWT or THE SUIT...?

The notion of the likes of "the suit" Romney, or that "arrogant self proclaimed genius" The Newt actually "winning" this election are very remote...

The choice is now between THE SUIT AND THE NEWT...!

But neither of them has a "vision" for America...other than just to beat Obama...

And of course...more tax cuts for the rich...and cutting entitlements for the 99%...

To vote Republican in 2012...you'd have to buy into the notion that the rich in America ...have been OPPRESSED BY THE MIDDLE CLASS...and need some relief...

Needless to say... the last 20 years have NOT BEEN A GOLDEN AGE FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS....

We tried Looting the economy by the rich...it didn't work...

Now lets give PROGRESSIVISM a chance...
