Guest Post: Fascism–American Style
June 22nd, 2010 by Damon Vrabel
Respond

Since we're stuck in a monetary system that allows a tiny private sector clique to control everything (business, government, military, non-profits, schools, families, etc) by putting everyone else in debt, we've been living in financial dictatorship for a long time. It has been a soft PR dictatorship of Hickey-Freeman suits and Sax 5th Avenue ties, Harvard pedigrees and fratboy schmarm. But hard dictatorship has been coming out of hiding for several years, especially since 2001. Not only can the money powers steal trillions from the masses to hand over to themselves, but they can suck the military into conquering poor countries that aren't subject to their usury vortex system, build Homeland to spy on Americans, and have the CIA assassinate US citizens.

There is no question that full-blown fascism is planned for the supposed land of the free as they try to move us into the new global system. And all the Republicans blaming Obama for it, just like the Democrats who blamed Bush, need to stop being suckers and realize how the politicians are not in charge. The money powers knew 100 years ago they couldn't subject their wealth and power to the whims of mass political opinion...they learned well from the Teddy Roosevelt days. Ever since, they have built increasing control into the system.

Blame the politicians? Absolutely...each administration takes an incremental step for the money powers. But don't get suckered into believing a politician from your side of the aisle playing the same old game of flipping between left and right is going to change anything. We've been sold on parties just like we've been sold on Coke vs. Pepsi–they're the same.

Find leaders who know their neighbors, who understand the mechanics of a republic vs. empire, who understand the power of those who control all money in our system, rather than repeatedly voting for unhappy, addictive Harvard/Yale elitists who get a rush out of "system managing" the masses for the money powers. Any narcissist who thinks one dude in a distant white house can system manage 308,000,000 people should never come close to actually being in that white house. But that's who we've put in that house for the last several decades.

Luckily people are now breaking free of the PR programming. The choice isn't
left vs. right. It is big vs. small, republic vs. empire.

Finding Gold in the Mainstream
by Frank Holmes, CEO, U.S. Global Investors | June 21, 2010
Print

The New York Times dedicated a chunk of last Sunday's paper to gold as a mainstream investment. In other words, gold is now legit -- no longer can it be dismissed as the asset of choice for fringe types with a cellar full of canned goods and a stash of bullion buried in the backyard.

And to illustrate just how far gold has moved into the American mainstream, the paper goes bipartisan by holding up investor George Soros on the left and commentator Glenn Beck on the right as examples of the newly converted.

Lord Rothschild fund joins World Gold Council to put £12.5m into BullionVault



Garry White
London Telegraph
June 22, 2010

An investment fund backed by Lord Rothschild has joined the World Gold Council to put £12.5m into BullionVault, the online gold investment platform.

Tim Levene of Augmentum Capital, a fund backed by Lord Rothschild's RIT Capital Partners, said the investment was not a bet on the gold price but on "the future growth of the BullionVault platform", which stores physical gold for private clients in London, New York and Zurich. RIT currently has 9pc of its assets in physical gold.

Chinese Workers Force the Issue

Neeraj Chaudhary
Euro Pacific Capital, Inc.
Posted Jun 18, 2010

It's starting to look like Chinese labor has had enough. Led by workers at the Honda Motors plant in Zhangshan, and perhaps spurred by the suicides of ten workers this year at Foxconn Technology (a supplier to high technology companies such as Apple, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard), Chinese factory workers and other laborers across the country are going on strike. In so doing, these workers are defying the orders of their government-run unions and risking dismissal by their employers. I believe that this monumental step in the development of China's economy will result in a positive outcome. From an international perspective, these strikes may do more than improve working conditions in Chinese factories; they may, in fact, force a currency reform (long-delayed by the Chinese Communist Party) that will have serious
implications for the global economy.

Joe Weisenthal | Jun. 17, 2010, 5:00 AM | 604 |

It's not been a bad week at all for global markets, but there is one standout to the downside, and that would be lumber.

We showed you a version of this chart yesterday after the miserable new-housing starts data came out, but we wanted to bring it back just since this one makes the recent-term action so clear.

Lumber actually fell 4% yesterday alongside the housing news. Not only has it been getting crushed for a long time, it's still getting crushed.

After Bashing The Entire Market Yesterday, Today Cramer Goes Nuts Against High Frequency Trading



Tyler Durden
Zero Hedge
June 17, 2010

Ok, this is getting scary: first, Cramer bashes the entire market yesterday, saying it is a stupid, rapacious, capricious and a bunch of other words we would butcher absent spellcheckurrrr. Then, the CNBC frontman goes out on a full blown tirade against High Frequency Trading, against ongoing flash crashes (melt downs and ups) in names such as the ones we discussed earlier like Diebold and Washington Post, against the whole concept that the market is sane and stable, and lastly, Cramer agrees with us that the only senator worth listening to is Ted Kaufman, who also happens to be a guest on this particular Cramer show. Are we now mainstream or is Cramer too much of a fan? Is it time to switch our motto to "on a long enough timeline we all succeed and prosper courtesy of a neverending Keynesian ponzi pyramid." Is this the market bottom? Being on the same side of the trade as Cramer is...never good.

Jim Rogers about Inflation In America and the world





Jim Rogers :"Rising prices is inflation. Inflation does not call prices to go up. Price is going up because of inflation. So I am optimistic about the price of commodities going forward. The governments spend a lot of money, that is going to lead to higher prices at least it always has. Now if governments stop printing money, then we are going to have other things going on in the world.
We have economic decline, continue the economic decline but so far, governments do continue to print money all over the world and many nations in the world acknowledge they have inflation. India happens to be one of the ones that are honest about it. America is dishonest, America lies about inflation. The UK lies about it but many Australia, Norway, China many others tell the truth and we do have inflation in the world and it is going to get worst. " Interviewed by the Economic times of India

Felix Zulauf: The March 2009 Lows Won't Hold



Business Insider
June 15, 2010

This weekend's Barron's Roundtable had an excellent update on several of our favorite market pundits. Felix Zulauf is a notable standout who has called the last few years with uncanny accuracy (see his full interview on King World News here). Zulauf is terribly bearish and believes the debt deflation environment is far from running its course. He believes we are currently at a major turning point in the markets where investors are beginning to realize that government spending is not the solution to all our problems. He says the fiscal austerity measures will only increase deflationary pressures and that the pain is inevitable and unavoidable:
