• The U.S. Government Is Borrowing About 8 Trillion Dollars A Year. Posted 9/29/2014. So a strategy was hatched to borrow money for very short periods of time and to keep "rolling it over" again and again and again.

I do want to also point out what is happening in London, they will no longer publish these “forward rates” (GOFO) so we will no longer see any backwardation when it occurs. Interesting isn’t it… the West becoming more secretive while the East becomes more transparent!

The federal government received $2.9 Trillion from taxes in 2013, so almost all the money received was transferred to other Americans to live on.

• In The West Respect for Truth No Longer Exists — Paul Craig Roberts. Posted 8/17/2014. To underline his de-escalation, President Putin asked the Russian Duma to rescind his authority to intervene militarily in Ukraine in behalf of the former Russian provinces.

• The UN Has Laid the Foundation and Location For World War III. Posted 8/17/2014. Nordberg stated that the reason for the war games is because of the melting ice which has exposed the vast amounts of mineral resources, the largest in the world.

• Another Crisis of Confidence in the Dollar is Coming. Posted 8/15/2014. Greater than any single threat is the ultimate danger of the collapse of the dollar itself. Senior military and intelligence officials have now come to the realization that America’s unique military predominance can be maintained only with an equally unique and predominant role for the dollar. If the dollar falls, America’s national security falls with it.
• This Is The Worst Nightmare For The United States & The West. Posted 8/17/2014. Obliging other nations to trade and hold U.S. dollars is not written anywhere in the Bible. For the time being other nations decided to maintain a holding equal to 50 percent of our publicly traded Treasury debt. Losing their confidence in our credit and currency would be devastating to our economy. Japan has no such worries about keeping foreign investors happy because that country finances 90 percent of its debt internally. We have become a country that over-consumes and under-produces. Debt levels have skyrocketed while our demographic and labor force participation conditions are quickly approaching critical mass

My friend Marc Faber recently wrote that the U.S. market is more expensive in terms of market cap/GDP than at any time in modern history -- more expensive than at the peak in 2000 and more expensive than at the peak in 2007. That alone should give investors pause.

• What Happened to the Malaysian Airliner? — Paul Craig Roberts. Posted 7/19/2014. One fact is that the separatists do not have the expensive Buk anti-aircraft missile system or the trained personnel to operate it. Another fact is that the separatists have no incentive to shoot down an airliner and neither does Russia. Anyone can tell the difference between low-flying attack aircraft and an airliner at 33,000 feet. The Ukrainians do have Buk anti-aircraft missile systems, and a Buk battery was operational in the region and deployed at a site from which it could have fired a missile at the airliner. Just as the separatists and the Russian government have no incentive to shoot down an airliner, neither does the Ukrainian government nor, one would think, even the crazed extreme Ukrainian nationalists who have formed militias to take the fight against the separatists that the Ukrainian army is not keen to undertake–unless there was a plan to frame Russia.

• Get Ready Because China Is Going To Push Silver Over $100. Posted 7/1/2014. Now, coming back to that 70 gigawatt photovoltaics target for China, you better own some silver. Silver is vital for the Chinese to achieve that objective. The problem is there is not enough silver in the market to satisfy their objective at current prices. So far President Xi hasn’t failed in any of his objectives, and he doesn’t want to fail on this target of 70 gigawatts of photovoltaics.

• The Lightbulb Goes Off In China: "If You Don't Pay Me And I Pay Others, I Am The Sucker". Posted 5/15/2014. And when the counterparties of China's hundreds of billions in CCFDs decide to also get out of Dodge and unwind these deals (amounting to hundreds of billions in notional), only to find the underlying commodity has not only been re-re-rehypotecated countless times and has been sold, then there is truly no way of saying what happens next.
• How China Imported A Record $70 Billion In Physical Gold Without Sending The Price Of Gold Soaring. Posted 3/23/2014. An important explanation of why the price of gold has been suppressed.

That's what we've seen with bubbles, that's what we've seen with asset inflation and prices... the fact that it takes an immense credit production capacity to create even just a little bit of economic wealth."

• Jim Willie: Swing States & Event Schedule. Posted 5/7/2014. Russia and China: Instead of launching prematurely their gold-backed currency, they build a Trade Zone and form a growing alliance of participating nations, in order to assure a critical mass that includes on the order of at least 60% of global trade. Then later, when the moment is right, when the supporting system is truly ready, when the crisis in the West reaches a critical matter point, the two lead nations A & B launch the new gold-backed currency, announce the new trade settlement system, make known the new banking procedures, and do so with an ARMADA of nations in support of the new structures that had been under development. The strong critical mass of over 60% would assure that lost trade with the minority of nations would not be crippling. The new Eastern nucleus would benefit from sudden growth.

3. It must be convenient. That is why we don't use copper.
4. It must be consistent. That is why we don't use real estate.
5. It must possess value in itself. That is why we don't use paper.
6. It must be limited in the quantity available. That is why we don't use iron.
7. It must have a long history of acceptance. That is why we don't use bitcoin.

• Jim Rickards: Money Printing Will Destroy Confidence At Some Point. Posted 4/14/2014. The system is now larger than 2008 — make the system bigger and you’re going to have a bigger collapse. We are further down the timeline. The ultimate thesis is that deflation is the biggest problem in the world. The world wants to deflate but central banks and governments cannot have deflation – it increases the debt-to-GDP ratio, destroys tax collection, creates bad debts and hurts the banks. So central banks will do anything to avoid deflation. The way they do this is to print money. But if you print too much money then you’ll collapse confidence in the U.S. dollar.

Depository institutions alone have accumulated a total of $2.57 trillion in excess reserves—money that is sitting on the sidelines rather than being loaned out into the economy. That’s up from a norm of around $2 billion before the crisis. Wow! That's $2.57 trillion versus a customary $2 billion – basically well over a thousand times more than normal....At the current reduction in the run rate of accumulation, the exercise known as QE3 will terminate in October (when I project we will hold more than 40 percent of the MBS market and almost a fourth of outstanding Treasuries). That's 40% of all mortgage bonds and 25% of all Treasuries. As I said earlier, the mind boggles...

• The Fourth Branch – DEEP STATE – In Plaint Sight. Posted 2/24/2014. Eliminating taxation is essential to the survival of society and it is the next step in the evolution of money. The power to TAX equals the power to DESTROY. This is one primary reason why the Founding Father PROHIBITED any form of Direct Taxation. Taxation was to be indirect and purely on consumption for the rich will always pay more given they consume more. Thomas Jefferson said in 1823: ”Taxes on consumption, like those on capital or income, to be just, must be uniform.”
• Hitler's Debt-Free Money. Posted 2/22/2014. Hitler began his national credit program by devising a plan of public works. Projects earmarked for funding included flood control, repair of public buildings and private residences, and construction of new buildings, roads, bridges, canals, and port facilities. The projected cost of the various programs was fixed at one billion units of the national currency. One billion non-inflationary bills of exchange, called Labor Treasury Certificates, were then issued against this cost. Millions of people were put to work on these projects, and the workers were paid with the Treasury Certificates....Within two years, the unemployment problem had been solved and the country was back on its feet. It had a solid, stable currency, no debt, and no inflation, at a time when millions of people in the United States and other Western countries were still out of work and living on welfare.

• Silver Price Forecast 2014: Significant Silver Rallies Usually Follow Major Dow Peaks. Posted 2/20/2014. It is no coincidence that significant silver rallies follow after significant Dow rallies end. It is simply a natural reaction to what caused the stock market rally as well as the effects of that rally. So, if it happened before, it will certainly occur again. These stock market rallies are driven by the expansion of the money supply, causing a big increase in value of paper assets (including stocks) relative to real assets. When the increase in credit or the money supply has run its course, and is unable to drive paper price higher; value then flees from paper assets to safe assets such as physical gold and silver, causing massive price increases.
• Silver Price Forecast 2014: Silver Prices Rise Dramatically At The End – Are We Close To The End? Posted 2/17/2014. Silver's current price pattern is more like gold's 1980's. Thus, silver is due for a major spike in the coming years.

• Doomed If We Do, Doomed If We Don't. Posted 2/12/2014. The system is doomed if central banks continue creating trillions of dollars in new leveraged credit and liquidity to keep the system from imploding, and it is also doomed if they cease creating new leveraged credit (i.e. taper their geometric expansion of credit). Doomed if you do taper, doomed if you don't taper.

Forget the employment quagmire, the lack of corporate investment in anything other than their own shares, the lousy shopping season, the layoffs in retail and tech. Forget the sky-high stock prices, the IPO bubble, the distortions and mal-investments. So long as the Fed prints enough money, asset prices will go up. And that’s the only bet left, apparently.

• Why the West sells gold and China buys it. Posted 1/17/2014.
  • There is a fundamental view in China that gold is ultimately money, so it is always worth accumulating by selling potentially worthless foreign currency.
  • Encouraging her citizens to accumulate gold achieves two objectives: if they have real wealth to protect it makes them potentially less rebellious in difficult times; and secondly private buying of gold reduces the trade surplus, which in turn reduces the accumulation of foreign currency reserves.
  • Gold is generally accepted as superior money throughout Asia, which is China’s long-term regional interest.
  • The Chinese Government (and/or the Communist Party) is buying gold for itself.
  • Keeping the West short of gold gives China huge leverage in today’s cold currency war, and even more if the currency war heats up.

Schachtism is Facist at its core.
• America Is Plunging Into Kafka's Nightmare. Posted 1/15/2014. We have the Authorization for Use of Military Force and the National Defense Authorization Act, which give the President the centralized authority to detain and even kill those Americans designated as “enemy combatants” without trial, without due process and without public oversight.
  
  Our government now uses secret evidence to charge citizens with crimes they are not allowed to discuss with the public on the argument that to do so would “threaten national security.” That’s right; the government can arrest you or assassinate you based on evidence they never have to disclose to you, your family, your lawyer or the citizenry.
  
  We are not on the verge of a total surveillance state, we are there. It exists.
