One Day The #USDollar Will Collapse. WHY?

What Will Happen When the Dollar Collapses?

 

 

 

 

Will It Be a False Flag Attack Or a Currency Collapse?

 

Hitler initiated a false flag event and burned down the Reichstag to gain control over the German government. Could the same happen here in the United States? My initial response to that question is, does it really matter? The pattern of societal collapse and subsequent governmental enslavement of the American people will be largely the same whether the precipitating incident is a false flag attack or a currency collapse. For the purpose of simplicity, let us call the precursor event to all-out martial law, a currency collapse.

The Federal Reserve Is the Enemy of Humanity

 

The Federal Reserve has been bleeding this country to death for a century. What the dollar bought 100 years ago, can only buy three cents of product today. This means that 97% of the value of our currency has gone into the pockets of the Federal Reserve investors for the past 100 years.

I am amazed at the abject ignorance of the American people and that they think the Federal Reserve is actually part of the federal government. As we like to stay in the alternative media, the Federal Reserve is no more federal than Federal Express. For the record, the Federal Reserve is a privately held corporation which sells stock to preferred insiders. In 1913, a small majority of Congress commissioned the Federal Reserve to control banking in the United States. Without a doubt, this was the worst decision ever made by an act of Congress.

There are many reasons why the US dollar is ultimately doomed to collapse. First, we are running out of just about everything that makes the industrial complex operative, so commodities such as oil are going to become scarcer and much more expensive. 

Second, the free ride will end, in that the US will no longer be able to trade paper IUO's for hard concrete goods. You have a geopolitical world that is becoming more and more savvy to this unfair trade imbalance. 

Third, the US military's overreach is just becoming to costly to sustain and that's puts more pressure on the currency and its reserve status.

Does history repeat itself? Sure looks that way when you compare Rome's rise and fall to the history unfolding in America. The problem is: there is no where to run nor hide.

WRONG AGAIN! real economics: USA industrial muscle

A Nice New Jersey Fella Says...


 WRONG AGAIN 
real economics: The idea that ruined USA industrial muscle:

I have been writing since the 1980s that there has been no idea more pernicious than the one the postulates that there is no legitimate crit...

Economist are wrong again! Hand back those Nobel Prizes! You gutted American Industrial Muscle, and no one is the wiser. First, we concur that the American corporation's pursuit of shareholder value had a lot to do with it. A Company's first responsibility is to its stakeholders, and only secondly, to its corporate home jurisdiction. There is no national allegiance, so they are soulless entities, not really entrenched by sovereign constitutions, as they operate within a supra constitutional context making them, in effect, Virtual Countries - operating under the rules that they pick and  like best.  Many books could be written about these barbarians at and within our gates.

But the real culprit here was the ancient mercenary concept of "comparative advantage" the economist supreme rationale for unencumbered international trade and globalisation without any sense of moral code or ethical governance. This concept assured that the deck was stacked against the middle class and organised labour by forcing it to compete with oppressed de facto "slave" labour in other countries. What chance was there for fair competition?  And their jobs? None! 

For certain inflation and domestic prices have been contained over the past thirty years, but the wreckage caused in lost jobs, social decay, and destitute cities are, by far, not just compensation. Visit Detroit. Solid jobs were moved overseas by soulless Company's who along with local foreign governments exploited its peasant labour forces to their mutual advantage. Everyone else lost. 

So as a Mr. B. Springsteen, a nice fella from New Jersey, expresses " I am afraid these job are going boys - and they ain't coming back" 

Thus, there is no such thing as advantage for the many, in comparative advantage in the real world.  It is a myth. It is propaganda. It is for the few. Just poppycock built by naive economists supporting the vested interests and rhetoric of foreigners and Virtual Nations. And there are no prizes for the slaves or those who lost their jobs. And so  - so much more...

Special thanks to a Mr, B. Springsteen, Rumson, New Jersey a worker and resident for his nice writing, that we printed here, and for bringing this unfortunate historic matter to our attention. He tells a story that portrays the human side of tragedy Merci, Bruce and hope everything works out for you and your friends, down there in your hometown 

My Home Town...

Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown, my hometown, my hometown

Now main streets whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back to
Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown

Last night me and kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
Im thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good
Look around
This is your hometown

BUY Signals - Gold Could be $5000 to $10000 Or $250? Or $13,756?

Eric Sprott Blog: Gold Could be $5000 to $10000:

I'm only looking at 1 year in this conversation, but 4 years from now you could be somewhere in the $5,000 to $10,000 range with the ...

When you are dealing with any speculative asset you are dealing with unknown random events that could move its price. They could be big moves too. In light of this, gold has as much a chance of going up, as it does down. So under this reasoning gold could go to any number - the key word is could. 

Putting mathematical and linguistic concerns aside, the investing (upside betting) environment for gold is now looking better, given the large collapse in price over the past 12 months, but mostly because global geopolitical, disaster and climate events are accelerating; creating the potential for a "Black Swan Event" that would be very good for gold prices in the near term.

In the long run, we still do not ascribe much intellectual or "real physical economic" value to this metal. It is a value that primarily depends and appeals to people's inner brains' sensory and emotional cognitions based on the allure it earned in ancient times. However, our rational frontal cortex is  not so allured or intrigued by its largely superficial attributes.

Of Two Minds...

Vehicle Sales Boom in August

 Vehicle Sales Boom in August
Read More

A Short Story

Wow! August vehicle sale are expected to be hitting full stride for the month, coming in at a seasonally adjusted rate of 15.7 million vehicles. That is the highest level in almost seven years. Good news - right? 

The biggest concern is what lies ahead as today's sales are pumped-up by the lowest interest rates for the longest period of time ever. Don't be fooled by 0% financing deals, because that is really a crafty way to move margins between business divisions to effect market pricing to consumers. In the end what counts is the consumer's monthly cash payment, particularly in the months and years ahead.

Like the airline industry there are dark clouds and turbulence on the horizon that will come from an imminent spike in interest rates along with rising oil prices. A one, two punch! Imagine what happens to vehicle sales when interest rates cause monthly payments to double, together with substantive gas pump increases as peak oil consequences unfold? At the same time product production costs will rise dramatically because they are affected by both rates and oil prices. Annual sales have the potential to drop by 25-40%, or more.

Our industry weather forecast calls for  - "expect heavy cloud cover and turbulence as you approach. Slippery runways. It's raining hard on a parade down there" 

How's that for a short story?

BIG Mac Measures Inflation

BIG Mac Measures Inflation

Over 350,000 Trillion Served

The BIG point here is that no one in their right minds trusts or believes the CPI numbers anywhere on the planet. It is a number that by its very nature is subject to all forms of manipulation. Yet it is perhaps the most critical economic metric in the field of abstract economics.From this number investors set their expected rates of return inclusive of inflation. There are many pundits, economists and advisers who are saying this number has been pushed deliberately downwards to match the current policies of government.

We believe them because the grocery store bill, gas pumps and McDonald's prices seem to be way ahead of reported national CPI figures. Who do you believe? What is the real CPI?

One approach, as suggested is to look at the hours of work required to buy a staple or basket of staples. But even that is open to transgressions, such as: who is the average worker and what are their wages? Then do you apply local,  regional or national wages? Is there a solution?  Not really, save for doing you own personal calculations, both for personal and investment purposes. That number is probably as good as any, but certainly of more relevance to your circumstances.

Remember that in the end money is a medium - being a communication device intended to transmit a subjective value idea from sender to receiver. The message of value transmitted is an abstract that will never be subject to object scientific measure. It is simply the best social device we have to facilitate human activity.

The Jim Rogers Blog : Financial Calamity US Dollar Collapse?

The Jim Rogers Blog

Financial Calamity - US Dollar Collapse? 
(Read and Hear More)

Just cannot see eye to eye with Jim on the collapse of the US dollar, albeit the financial calamity is more or less a hangover from the 2008 Meltdown and remains plausible. Indeed we had  forecasted such a collapse two years back, by 2020. Bonds yes; but a currency short is fraught with too many pitfalls.

There are many reasons behind the likely stability embedded in the US dollar in such times. Two are big ones. One,  it will simply win by default because other currencies that are competitive, in any significant way, should be that much worse off in the turbulent economic times ahead. Remember, the US is a Hegemony with about 60 -70% of the world's resources and economies within its influences and/or control. There is little else in terms of a viable surrogate exchange media that could handle the global financial volume and liquidity needs as well. Former communist countries have huge credibility issues to overcome to garner any trust for this role.

But most importantly - they have bigger GUNS! In the end, that may be all that matters.

"BUY GOLD???"

While we have long held a position that in the long-run there is no legitimate or logical reason based on sequential forward events, and both historical asset-class performance and purchasing power losses over the past thirty-three years to own this object, yet this psychotic placebo continues to attract the attention of speculators.  Nouriel Roubini had candidly referred to it as a "barbaric relic" - his kind diplomacy is respected. 

So why do promoters such as Dr Doom continue with there promotions despite all this? We can presume that they understand the psychosis of small investors attracted to such a cure all placebo and operate to take advantage of their fantasy. The above purchase of Sprott affirms the possibility of such a tactic by promoters. 

But the most important issue is not whether to buy or sell this object - the real issue is disclosure. That is will the promoters advise the public of subsequent sales before they are effected or will they cleverly front-run them in various de facto forms ahead of small investors, underneath the radar of a complex myriad of international rules, laws and regulations?

Funny thing, we really don't expect  answers to these questions any time soon.

#APPLE Drifts Without Jobs says Oracle CEO

APPLE Drifts Without Jobs

 - Says Oracle CEO

Many months# ago we actually concluded that without Steve Jobs the company would not be able to repeat or meet the achievements or expectations of its founder. There is an artistic-creative element in people of Steve's character that cannot be replicated by professionally trained managers from Ivy-league business schools. 

Moreover, entrepreneurial vision and drive is a talent few ever configure in a similar way. 

So whether its Ford, Buffet, Carnegie, Gates, Stronich or Jobs, their unique compositions are rare and the companies they build and run are never the same once they move on.

Keeping Apple on the watch list, but our vision for the future remains short-sighted.

#Facebook Executive Dumps Shares

Facebook Executive Dumps Shares

One primary rule of investing - when the Company's top executives start dumping their shares, it's time to head for the hills. We are not going to set out all the reasons why and all the excuses executives use to justify their dispositions. Nope, instead we are going to ask you to look at the fellow captioned above and ask "what if this guy started dumping shares in that small town company from Omaha?" 

Never happened, and if it did - you know that the flood waters are really coming. 

It all boils down to how do you believe in folks that do not believe in themselves? Just plain-old folksy small-town stuff. There is however - one City-slicker - Jimmy Rogers, who thinks that Facebook is not an investment,its a waste of time. We agreed with him then, and still do. 

This also may explain why Facebook users are so depressed - they finally figured out Jim's astute observation.

Stockholders may soon join its users, as t is still just a click away from ten or less, on the Ticker.
