Dollar Crash

I got on this gentleman's list from a dear friend .and this is what he said to me when he sent his email out, I then asked to be added to his list.  I am sharing his article with you this am!  ~victoria
For those who don't know, Robert is a personal friend, long retired personal money mgr. for many powerful and elite clients, and I trust his yrs. Of experience and knowledge.

ROBERT’S REMARKS      April 1, 2014
 
DEVALUATION
A broken and dysfunctional government/ A Struggle between the honest and the totally corrupt

China realizes that the U.S. is running on fumes with horrendous Central bank abuse that debases globally held U.S. dollars. That the U.S. is falling in stature in every respect, its prestige is a thing of the past, in a grand shift to now challenge its world leadership  because of brokenness and corruption.

This Remarks will be longer than most and that is because there are detailed explanations of what I have to say. If I say that all the banks are insolvent, it is not enough just to say this.

Why are they insolvent and why does your government cover this up.? How can there be banks earnings if they all are insolvent? (no apologies for the length of this letter)  Explained in the body of this report.

By way of a disclaimer, the opinions stated in the Remarks are my own and I am just one of many people who state their opinions on the Internet. I do a lot of research, especially in foreign articles and newspapers. I think I have pretty good eyesight and what I put fourth eventually happens, but the timing is very difficult, especially with the relatively new advent of total market manipulation, and total lying to the public.

I was a money manager for more than 30 years before I retired at the old age of 54, having made my fortune-as they call it. I have done nothing but live, eat, and breathe finance for most of my life. While I have Master Degrees from the Stern School of Finance, NYU, there is no substitute for past experience, the study of history,  the use of extreme patience, and the recognition of manipulation and fraud when you see it..

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance"  Thomas Jefferson
" I want a government small enough to fit inside the Constitution"  Harry Browne
" Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance" H.L. Menken  ( Look how the individual ignorance has elected what we have today.  Robert
" Every election is an advance sale of stolen goods" H.L. Menken
"When one gets in bed with the government, one must expect the disease it spreads" Ron Paul

One of O'Bama's goals was to reduce the importance and influence of this country to the rest of the world, and he has succeeded admirably in doing this Those are Obama's words.. He has said this repeatedly in his campaign pledges. I do not make this up.

And Robert says that the road to a third world country is but a few defaults away.

You may often hear the term Neo Con. If you look up this word you come up with Criminally insane spenders that believe in huge government, unfathomable amounts of spending to bring down the finances of the country so as to establish a Marxist State.

This may also involve the demise of thousands of people to bring about this end.

What crosses my mind so often is the singular fact that Barack Obama spent 20 years going to a church where he heard the words of a Reverend Wright, one of the most anti American, anti white people on this earth. How could anyone come away without harboring some of his views?. I said 20 years in front of this preacher.. And it is a scary thought for me that this person is in the White House. has two and one half years left to do so much more damage.  (That comes across my mind)

I am talking about the DEVALUATION of the dollar. What does the word devaluation mean.?  It means to make the currency, any currency worth less. It means to diminish the purchasing power of a particular currency, In this case the U.S. dollar which is our medium of exchange.. All currencies are now going to go to their intrinsic value, and that is zero.
some currencies will lose their value faster than others.

It is, in my opinion, the singular most important word, idea, (devaluation) that I can think of at the present time. For years, the currency known as the dollar has been loosing its purchasing power or. what you can buy for a dollar.. Every year, according to our government, the inflation has been around 2% per year, every year.  (Under Jimmy Carter it reached 18%) Purchasing power is what we can buy, (goods and services) for our dollar. At 2% inflation, the purchasing power of our currency, the dollar, deteriorates at a fairly slow pace It takes about 36 years to loose most of the dollar's purchasing power.. Almost imperceptible to the average Joe. On the street.

Raise that to 9%. which is the inflation rate as per Shadow Statistics (John Williams), and it takes about 8 years for your money to loose most of its purchasing power. The loss of purchasing power is the most insidious way to destroy the money that you have saved.

We now call that the inflation rate, which is constantly lied about by your government, not just Democrats but all ADMINISTRATIONS.  (To be fair)

The reason for mentioning this at the head of this Remarks, is because the average person cannot survive a 9% inflation rate while the interest that he can earn on his savings is almost nothing or, on his investments an interest rate of 5% or less, and at the same time his salary is declining, except for the very rich. ( Discussed later in this Remarks) So we are now entering a period of "Stagflation", which is the worst situation financially that we can have.

It is the destruction of the middle class. The rich do not have to worry, the poor are on the government dole. That leaves the middle class which is dying. They are the independent
thinking backbone of this once great country. In my opinion, the current president does not want a surviving middle class. They employ 70% of the people in this country. That sentence is a repeat from most Remarks.

The President may talk a good game of helping the middle class, but it is this class of people that he taxes the most,  that regulations he passes fall hardest on. He does lip service to the middle class, but his actions speak louder than his words. Watch the laws that he passes. His executive orders. bypassing Congress. He never tells the truth or he tells half truths. Mostly he lies, and he does it so convincingly.. It is about as plain as one can tell it. The most obvious is the untruths he has told about Obamacare and that is now out there for all to see.

I am only one person writing this letter, trying to warn people what is coming.. I do not think I do a good job because telling someone that a bubble will soon burst, that one's money will soon become worthless, that the purchasing power of the dollar ( perhaps in six months to two years) will become somewhat worthless, only gets me stares of disbelief,. I can hear in  my head people saying ,"who is this kook?, I have been hearing this from this guy for three years now. And in the last 9 months gold and silver, the premier hedge against devaluation, has gone down". Perhaps I have yelled wolf too often, and certainly too early. No, the world is not coming to an end, but your standard of living is going to go down and down. At some point, I talk about a total collapse.

Almost no economists comprehend the capital destruction and the severely harmful effects from the current U.S. Fed policy. The sequence seems simple to me. The continuous rising cost of mostly everything, the poor pricing power because people are struggling, the shrinking profits, the ruined business segments and even entire businesses slowing going under, then the total shutdown. The ongoing QE (Quantitative Easing) will ensure that the US Economy continues to deteriorate, with more acceleration coming. Those who expect a rising business, activity are way off, bordering on delusional. Those who expect the money velocity (people to increase spending) are also way off, bordering on being clueless. They are morons.

If you are like the average Joe, like really most investors, you believe the worst of the 2008 debt crisis--and the great recession that followed-are over. Then I do not know if I can help you. no matter what I say.

If you believe that America is solidly on the road to economic recovery, that her greatest struggles are behind her, as told to you by the corrupt media--Then I cannot help you, no matter what I say. If you believe anything, almost anything that your government or your president has to say, then I cannot help you. You may think that statement is anti administration, but I believe it is factual based at least upon the last 7 years.

If you believe anything and everything that you read in the Media (almost all media), then I cannot help you. I could go over the newspapers every day and point out the falsities almost on every page. But just to give to an example: Wall Street Journal, Feb 10, 2014" Job Rebound Eases Fear of Spring Stall" The article then mentions employment added 175,000 workers. But it takes an increase of 250,000 workers (monthly) just to keep even with the new people looking for jobs each month. Then the article fails to tell you that fully half   the new jobs are in low paying areas or minimum wage. Thus the false media, month after month. So I give you just one example of one article. If there is such a recovery, why are there so many stores closing?

I repeat this statement later for emphasis, but our media (90%) is worse than the propaganda of the Third Reich.

Here is your Recovery

1000 Radio Shack stores will be closing.

1000 Staples Stores will be closing

 Instead of 12 JC Penny store closing, that figure is up to 33

 250 Sears are to close, ( I feel Sears will go bankrupt) 5 large Macy Stores to close

The sales at Office Depot have been down 13 months in a row.

 The Dow, as measured against gold is down since the year 2000

The Dow is up 37% since the year 2000, but the purchasing power of the dollar is down 60% since 2000

The Russell 2000 Stock Index, made up of mostly smaller stock companies is selling at a PE ratio of 83 to 1 or nosebleed level. In other words, a massive bubble.

Home sales are down eight straight months in a row.

Worst of all, food inflation, as measured by the CRB Index is up 19% in the last three months alone. If you multiply that by three more quarters you come up with a 60% food inflation rate for the coming year. When do people wake up.? What does it take to do this? Wake up to what? To a media that is totally false in its reporting. Totally void of truth when it comes to the economy and foreign reporting.

From Washington's perspective America is desperately in need of a diversion. Would Obama provoke a war as a means to divert America's attention from problems at home., or to salvage his popularity?. Many think not, but I disagree. Look how ready he was to pull the trigger on Syria. Look at how Obama was internationally embarrassed when Putin outsmarted him in Syria.  Consider how desperate Obama must be to turn your attention away from the economy and his failures, away from really any Obama issues, away from class warfare, away from rising taxes and desperate straits that Washington is in. But whether he does or does not defend Ukraine militarily and also come to Europe's aid, or go head to head with Putin,, I think the repercussions are already set in stone. The WAR CYCLES that I talk about are already set in stone. and they are going to change the markets beyond what and Central Bank or Government can do. These cycles are going to turn everything you thought about Economics and the Markets upside down. That is because in history, they always have. I am saying nothing new.

 

Leaders , in both Europe and the U.S. are considering wealth taxes and confiscatory measures, such as Europe's confiscation of depositor funds in Cyprus last March. That is why I shy away from large deposits in any Banks. Your government is desperate for other people's money. The U.S. Fed is now leveraged at 80 to 1. It has now $4 trillion in toxic waste on its balance sheet. Every small decline in banks capital ( like a rising interest rate) wipes out their capital and puts these banks closes to insolvency. What on earth does the reader think QE (Quantitative Easing) is all about? It is about giving the BANKS ( only the banks) added capital just to survive.

War Cycles and Geo Politics are the two most important FORCES to NOW watch and Monitor going forward. Inflation temporarily will take a back seat. Most commodities will respond bullishly to rising geo-political tensions.
 
You have a frightening reality that people are finally beginning to realize.

WE ARE BROKE

We are the most indebted government in the history of civilization, a government that is $145 trillion in debt. (not just 17 trillion in current debt) Let us count off budget and unfunded debt.( That is trillion which is 1000 billion for each trillion)
 
102 million working age Americans are now unemployed, a 36% increase since \the year 2000
The average duration of unemployment has nearly doubled since January of 2000. from 19.8 weeks to 37.1 weeks,
40% of those lucky enough to have jobs earn less than 20,000 per year. To repeat, I said 40% of all those working do not make what I consider a living wage.

46.5 million Americans, or 15% of the entire U.S. population are now living in poverty according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

49 million Americans are on Food Stamps. the highest number since the program began in 1969 They cannot survive otherwise.

Median household income has declined for fiver years in a row while at the same time the cost of food and fuel is going through the roof.

But let's give you a statistic that is the most meaningful. 55,000 factories have been moved to China or other foreign countries. It means that our employment base has shrunk to the extent t that there will be no jobs for almost 40% of those who now graduate. It is a permanent situation till those jobs are returned to the U.S.

These lost factories mean that our tax base is also disappearing and that is why we run budget deficits year after year and have to print money to make up these deficits.
And that printing is not just a few billion but %1.5 trillion a year. The whole situation is simply not sustainable. I am talking financial collapse due to huge inflation. People just don't get the terrible bind that we are in. When does the reader wake up?

It is more important to preserve your wealth and its purchasing power. That is what so many people fail to comprehend. But the reader will soon wake up as the cost of food is going up 50% on a year to year basis, and that is for the last five years. I said 50% a year. We are on schedule to beat this 50%.

To repeat, the average person, in no way, can keep up with what is happening. In the last five years, people have had to use up their savings to survive. That is what the retires are doing.  What this government is doing is creating a permanent underclass society. It is especially taxing those poor individuals who make $30,000 or less. Would you believe that? There are many hidden taxes that people do not count that hit the salaries of these people. It an average person gets a $100 a week raise, he now keeps about $30 dollars of this due to hidden expenses.

Wholesale production and sales have dropped 1.9% in the last three months, which is the largest drop in five years.

Auto Inventories, unsold cars, have risen at the fastest pace in the last 15 months.

The debt coming from Auto purchases is the highest in the last five years. And so are the auto delinquencies.

Right now the strength that you may see in the stock market is largely due to an influx of the initial money coming out of the sovereign bonds markets in the United States,  and Europe due to its troubles.. Not to mention the Ukraine which I am sure is lighting a fire under savvy

European  investors to get out of Europe. I think the fact is that huge amounts of capital now view U.S. stocks as a safe haven, and right now it is justified in thinking this. but, long term.

I own very few stocks, just a few Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) like KMP . They yield near 7% tax deferred. But I feel these will also go down in the coming correction.

But, again, all this does not mean to me that the U.S economy is going to catapult higher.

In fact, I do not think it is. History tell us that when governments and empires start to decline, they regularly unravel with terrifying speed.
 
So, to repeat myself, I am, bullish on the U.S. equity markets on a long term basis. But at this very moment, right here and now, I think is a very different story. The S&P 500 index soared 32.4% higher last year without much more than a 5% correction along the way.. So the phrase over-bought does not even begin to explain how extended this a stock market is right now. All from the printing of endless money.

I also feel, to repeat myself, that European stocks are even more overbought, in my view, and that both of these markets are way overdue for a correction. And I feel there will be a substantial sell off--more than many investors are expecting. So this long term view is not going to take place until all this complacency and bullishness is shaken out of the markets.

From every measure that I use, I look at stocks as being overbought and ripe for a major sell off. I feel Europe's markets are due for an even greater sell off. I feel that the crisis in Ukraine is only the tip of the Ice burg.

The point is where do people go. Do they go to the Euro? Do they go to the yen?. Where is there to go.? The answer is none of the above. I can think of a four letter word that most people do not think about. and this is gold and silver. If you do not own any or very little you can dollar average as of now. At some point, and I do not know when, gold is going to be re priced to the upside dramatically, and this going to shock investors around the world when it takes place.

BANKER DEATHS

In the last issue of my Remarks, I listed about 10 recent suicides of bankers or people connected with finance. Many of these people had previously or currently worked for JP Morgan, which I also listed as  a government entity. This bank is the front man for your government in such endeavors as selling silver and gold short or in derivative

FRAUD.

It does a lot more which I am afraid to list at this time.

They recently paid $12 billion in Fraud fines and then gave its CEO, Jamie Diamon a raise to $20 million a year. That is a 74% increase for FRAUD.

So now allow me to list three other bankers who have committed suicide since the last Remarks.  I use the word Suicided

Kenneth Bolando   Age 28 A trader for Levy Capital who jumped out of his sixth floor window in New York. His father was the CFO for Conde Nast. He had previously worked for JP Morgan

Eddie Reilly  A trader for Veritel Group  He jumped in front of LIRR train. He formerly was an investment banker for JP Morgan

Mr Li Junjie  33 years old who worked for the JP Morgan headquarters in Hong Kong
It was a long from the 40th floor.

I again call your attention to the common denominator in most if not all of these suicides which is JP Morgan. I also want to mention that there is a list of names ( I do not know them) which mentions up to 43 individuals. (overseas papers) So far, as I count, 14 are suicided. There is a lot more to go.

I call your attention to statements by William Black, former chief investigator for the FDIC and the FSLIC. To quote," The banking cartel is the largest criminal cartel in history. The purpose of this cartel is to cheat the world and it is presently going on. Comprised of 16 of the world's largest banks, all engaged in massive fraud and none have ever been prosecuted by Eric Holder, the present attorney general."

To continue the direct quote from Black," The largest financial institutions are rotten to the core. The immediate problem is that the whole banking system will implode. If you do not have any accountability, you make it a certainty that there will be a banking and or financial blow up and this time it will be worse than 2008. We have effectively removed the criminal laws  for a particular elite class of FRAUDS." unquote.  That is not me talking. Can it be said any plainer to the reader.???

SOME OBSERVATIONS AND STATEMENTS

You want to stop the spending and try to claw our way back: Either make the banks that are insolvent go through bankruptcy and clear out their fictitious assets, or else hyper-inflate everything across the board. The former option means tremendous disruptions, but progress eventually like in Iceland. The later option means the system continues with growing stress and eventual collapse. There are your two options that will come anyway.

What also amazes me is the Obama spending that few say anything about. Over 600 million just for the Obama care web site which was totally flawed. Over $525 million given to Solindra completely stolen and gone. Four other green projects where another $400 million was totally lost.

What is a fiction,? The major banks Buying toxic bonds for 100 cents on the dollar, having these bonds in the trillions, go down to 22 cents on the dollar, but carrying these same bonds on the banks off balance sheet for 90 cents of the dollar. ( Rule FASB 157 permits the banks to get away with this fraud. ) If you carry these bonds at 22 cents, then all the major banks are broke, all their earnings are eaten up by these huge losses.

The U.S. Dept of Education calculated the default on federal student loans rose to 14.7% from 13.2% the year before, which is the highest level since 1995. The forecast is a $100 billion loss from student loans in the near future., which has a twist. Their accounting is off budget currently. This loss will soon be made part of the budget and add a significant slice to the government deficit.

99% of the printed or created money goes to help the totally insolvent bankers. It is hyper-monetary inflation, designed to bailout the big banks, and they are all broke (said many times), and thus help them  unload their still GIANT toxic bond portfolios. This initiative has done nothing to mitigate economic pain, and nothing to prevent job losses. The bankers have built walls to prevent any money from reaching Main Street, mainly because they fear the inflationary effect of all this printed money. I've got news for the reader, price inflation is coming. God help us all.
 
The level of debt in the United States is growing much faster than the U.S. economy. This debt, as I expect, is going to result in a currency devaluation which people just do not understand. It is going to involve the transfer of wealth from financial (paper) assets to real assets. There are no controls now on the printing of money.

"We make money the old fashioned way. We print it" Al Rolnick, chief economist for the Minneapolis Federal Reserve

So I give you readers a new MANIFESTO. From Robert'

Remarks.
" We the people of the United States hereby establish an unlimited Government that can impose its will in any manner it chooses, on any subject that it wishes, with no constraints or accountability. Furthermore, our government shall borrow as much money as possible to cover up the toxic bonds and fraud crimes and the institutional insolvency of the banker
elites, to issue unlimited volumes of gifts ( bribes) disguised as loans to its global banking partners to provide the good life for the lazy and the malingers within this once great nation, and to shift our financial burdens as far into the future to be paid for by our unfortunate progeny"  unquote

Partially adapted from the preamble to the NAZI Manifesto.

I am very familiar with NAZI propaganda as most of my family perished during the NAZI era.

FOR WHAT IS REALITY ??

I often quote Paul Craig Roberts, former asst. secretary of the Treasury under Clinton and I do so now," We have Obama and Kerry who are low grade morons and idiots" That is not me talking.

From John Bolton, former ambassador to the United Nations," I never thought I'd live to see a president fail worse than Jimmy Carter--but then came Barack Obama. Benghazi, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Afghanistan,--his failures are stacking up and they all have one thing in common: Barack Obama. Our biggest national security threat is Barack Obama--" unquote
 
Again, that is not me talking. I feel it is better to quote someone of stature than myself. What amazes me is that the low informed public eats this Washington dribble up like it
was the truth.

For you see what is going on now, is nothing but a mirage, actually bought and paid for by the very people who have triggered the great calamities that are befalling our once great nation The calamities that I speak of are thievery, fraud, stealing, lying by the present people in power.  The coming total destruction of our financial system and I know it is hard for the reader to believe me.. (but you has better wake up and believe.
 
The reality is that America's fate has already been sealed, sacrificed on the altar of power and greed by those who swore an oath to defend her.—with the blood of every man, woman, and child they swore to defend. With a President who swore to uphold and defend our Constitution
 
To repeat, the fact is that America is on the decline, destined to go the way of so many great empires that have come before us. Like Rome, France, Spain, Great Britain etc.

Relax, the United States is not going to disappear. But we are going to slip to number two, and ultimately to number three in the world behind China and Southeast Asia.

The end of America as we know it will not be triggered by hyper-inflation, or a bond market collapse, or a stock market collapse, or any single catastrophic event, or any of the usual suspects. It will be because countries DEFAULT on their promises to pay. The stock market, after a sell off, is going much higher ( in my opinion) for some of the following reasons (and it is worth repeating).
 
If we can only look at history, as I so often do. It took 17 years for the British Empire to collapse or disintegrate

It took 11 years for the Ottoman Empire, 8 years for the French Empire under Napoleon and a short two years for the Soviet Union to collapse.
 
In every case the people (that is you) ignored the writing on the wall, thinking that it couldn't happen to them.

In every case the majority failed to prepare for what was coming.

In every case the government feigned ignorance, always telling the gullible public that the worst was over,. They we are in a recovery.  does this sound familiar to you.?

MENTIONING EUROPE FOR A  MOMOENT

Europe is in worse shape than the United States, really bad, mentioned below. Look at Europe for what I consider tragic results., where rioting, civil unrest, and depression-life conditions are now away of life. The media does not carry the full story here ( as usual) but what is happening in Europe right now is coming here. Your President could do a lot to stave off what is sure to come here, but need I say more about him.

The finances and policies of our government are driving investors away from the sovereign U.S. bond market and into stocks. Technically, it makes no sense that if America is on the decline, how can stocks go higher? And the answer is that many American companies are in better financial shape than our own government, which continues to spew DEBT in ever greater quantities.  Most blue chip stocks pay you dividends or royalties and much better than you can get anywhere else... And most important, stocks are considered non-confiscatable . So I am looking for the stock market to go down for a correction and then up past 20,000. That may take a couple of years.

On the way down to oblivion, Washington will seek to nationalize part or all of your retirement assets ( said many times), confiscate your gold, and certainly tax you more and more. I also do not believe they will confiscate your stock certificates or nationalize any industry--yet. There is too much in pension funds to confiscate first. I do think you are going to see a lot more inflation, The three trillion paper dollars that the Fed has printed since 2008 are finally coming home to roost. They are finally seeping out of the banks and pouring into the economy ( Monetary Base, Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis)

To quote Ron Paul," This $3 trillion is going to be the greatest inflationary firestorm in U.S. history”
 
                                                Some Recent Observations

Jobs are literally being hemorrhaged. Personal income is falling. Social Services are deteriorating.   Home values across the nation are plunging. Crime is soaring.

A record high 28% of the people in Greece are without jobs, and Citigroup is projecting it will hit 32% by 2015. For those under 25, a catastrophic 61.4% are out of work.

In Spain, the jobless rate is at 26%. For its youth, an abysmal 54.3%. It is so bad that the youth in Europe are being called the "lost generation"  Many households have no income as all family members are out of work..

It is virtually impossible to put into words the nightmare of poverty, hunger, and homelessness that jobless workers throughout Europe are feeling.

When you cannot feed your family, and you cannot find work no matter how hard you try, it can absolutely crush your soul. You, who are out of work know what I talk about. It's a lousy feeling.

And all this I mention to the reader as the European aristocracy preserves their own wealth by looting the economy, while slashing wages and social services for the working class at the same time.

I think it is easy to see this as isolated events. It is easy to bury your head in the sand and ignore, because it is now happening somewhere else. It is easy to forget if you listen to the government rigged numbers abroad.

Millions of real people and real families are suffering very real consequences; quickly finding themselves living in total desperation—with little hope of having a normal life

And it is even easier to think that we are immune; that it can't happen here in America

But what is the frightening reality???

102 million working-are Americans are now unemployed--a 36% increase since the year 2000..

The average duration of unemployment has nearly doubled since January of 2000, from 19.8 weeks to 37.1 weeks.

40% of those who are lucky enough to have jobs earn less than $20,000 a year. You had better read this sentence again because on cannot live on $20,000 a year with a 9,% inflation rate and going higher.

46.5 million Americans--or 15% of the U.S. population--are now living in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau

49 million Americans are now on food stamps--the highest number since the program began in 1969.

Median household income has declined for five years in a row. Most retired Americans are eating into whatever they have saved in their lifetime. There is virtually no income from investment to carry the average retiree. The rate of home ownership has declined for eight years in a row.

So what is the new reality??

Hundreds of once great American cities are transforming into rotting, decaying hellholes.

But it has not hit your hometown yet, it soon will.

The experience of European nations shows the blinding speed at which a country can deteriorate once it passes the point of no return. The point where the delusions of the people, the incompetence of its government—can no longer mask the truth and destiny slips in the back door.
 
The EX POST FACTO laws. These are laws being made after an illegal act by our government. When they pass a law to cover an illegal act already committed. The Latin means after the fact. A rising gold market exposes the worthless dollar. So everything possible is done to keep the gold price down. The U.S. has defaulted on the timely delivery of gold to Germany. This will not be forgotten by any country in trusting the U.S. again.

The Health Care Bill is the final completion of a desire for total control. This bill has to be implemented in order to achieve this control.. It really is not about health care but control.

So what is going to be the results of all of the above:??

I draw upon history for what is below.

Firstly, more and more small business transactions are going to go underground. More and more bartering is going to crop up. More attempts at a private digital currencies like the Bitcoin. It is going to send money into hiding, to the fullest extent possible these days.

Secondly, it is going to send more and more assets and money--offshore. And under the recently passed Dodd Frank bill, these assets need to be reported to the IRS. That goes for any money you place off shore. But that is not going to stop money and precious metals from heading off shore. You see, in the minds of most investors and I would agree-the further away from Washington's reach your money and many of your assets are, the better.

Thirdly and really the most important-the government health care bill and the above government intrusion is going to have a mind boggling effect on nearly all financial assets

If you think I am kidding, you, the reader are terribly misinformed. To quote Hannity, " The Affordable Health Care Act is the greatest Ponzi scheme ever perpetrated on the U.S. people. Everything about this law has been a total lie"   That is a direct quote.

The health care act allows your government a terrible intrusion into you bank account, your financial assets, your personal life etc. You just have not been told of all the facets of this new bill. The public does not understand the seriousness of this bill. This bill needs to be repealed “in toto” it is so bad and so intrusive. God help us.

I call upon God because I do not believe that people know what is going on.

These two bills are going to drive capital in a way that is constantly seeking out what I would call  portability and liquidity. and privacy.

So people are not going to into things like gold and silver but also art works, jewelry, numismatics, collectibles and or rare books. Anything to escape the confiscation coming.

I have mentioned many times not to leave a lot on money in your bank account.  To repeat, money in your bank is the property of the bank, and they become your creditor if the bank goes bust. And no, there is no where near enough money to insure your deposits. Total depositor money is 6 trillion, total FDIC money is approximately 40 billion. A bail in bill has already been signed by your President, Obama.

The word, portability can also mean assets that are deeme non-confiscatable such as stocks. Own a share of IBM for instance and I think it unlikely Washington will confiscate those shares. Wall Street runs Washington.

Again, I go to history, and there is historical precedent for all this, not just with Rome and other empires, but even during the great depression here in the United States. That is when 17 countries in Europe failed and Great Britain was quickly loosing its superpower status.. Yet between 1932 and 1937, the Dow Jones Industrials exploded 387 percent higher, even as the U.S. economy sunk further into a depression.

The prices of diamonds, jewelry, and also art exploded higher, as did the black market for gold and silver. Remember, any country that outlaws gold silver quickly results in a black underground market being formed.

There are people out there who would rather pay $100 million for a Warhol, than have $100 million sit in a bank. There is an important message here. There Warhol is not going to be debased like the dollar. There is no printing press turning out more Warhols, which I believe to be the key point.

The rich people with the big money get it. People with that kind of money are not dumb. They know what is coming and they are preparing for it. They are dumping their dollars as fast as the Federal Reserve prints them. And that means it is only a matter of time before the rigging of the gold price blows up.

Major inflations ( hyper inflations) do not start with the middle class dumping currency. They start with the rich--The rich or so called smart money--sees what is happening first and responds to it. That is why stock markets and the price of collectibles is soaring. These events are a clear vote of no confidence for the dollar.

It will not be long before this message about debasement of the dollar works its way down to the middle class, as by then the major inflation will be more obvious.. So what you and I should be doing is accumulation more physical gold and silver. It is how individual investors can place their money ( if they have money) right along side what the truly smart money is doing. We are on the leading edge of a repeat of the period describe above. The only difference that I see is that Europe is sliding lower, the United State is loosing its super -power status at the same time.  It my opinion, our present situation is heavily due to the actions of the people that are in power

                                                       THE THREAT OF WAR

So  to repeat, there may be a good correction in the stock market, but eventually an explosion higher in stock prices, and the explosion in commodities will be even higher..

I do not think we are at the lift off stage yet for gold and silver. The war threat has interrupted the normal actions of the precious metals market. ( I had said that the only exception to the charting of the precious metals would be the threat of war.) gold would have to go above $1400 and stay there in order to revisit the chart action.

I have also repeatedly said that we are at the start of the ramping up of the WAR CYCLES.

We are still at the very early stages of the ramping up of the war cycles According to these cycles, it is going to get much worse and it eventually will hit the streets of Europe-again-but in a much more violent fashion and then in the United States. You are going to have regional and civil wars, and that will be due to incompetent and corrupt governments.

And I am speaking also about our present administration as well,, and it is so sad. I do not know if anything can be done to stem the tide that I see coming. You need to have a revolt against economic misery being spread far and wide. And I believe that much of this misery is being done on purpose.

We have seen increasing geo-political conflict not only in the

Crimea--Ukraine, but you have seen Egypt blow up, Libya, Yemen, Turkey, Argentina, Venezuela, Thailand, and more to come. It is just the start before we have a full blown war somewhere. And wars are done to take your mind off how miserable the present government is doing. Remember, all wars have a background of economics ,natural resources, money.

                                                   THE UKRAINE

The developments in the Ukraine are particularly interesting,. As I research it, the Ukraine is a hot/bed for Russian/ European/ and U.S., relations. On the one hand, Putin wants to rebuild the former Soviet Empire's vast strength and reach and on the other hand Europe is trying to hold together the European Union and the single currency, while the U.S. sides with

Europe. Remember, Russia supplies 25% of the natural gas to Europe, and has cut off this natural gas several times for political arm twisting.

Here comes Israel with a major find and development of gas supplies off their coast. This gas is now coming on stream, and Israel has signed a contract to supply Jordan with natural gas for $600 million a year. They have also signed a contract with Putin to supply gas to Europe through

Gazprom, the Russian pipe line and energy company, which is twice as big as Exxon.. All that you see in the news has nothing to do with Democracy for the Ukraine. This country, in its modern form is historically divided between Central Europe and Russian influence.

The U.S. has wished to divide it further with a lunatic notion to win Ukraine for the West, complete with all its energy transit pipelines These critical pipeline are very rarely mentioned in the Western Press, despite. their importance. The U.S. would like to take over these pipelines that provide 25% of the natural gas to Europe.  NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.  The U.S. would like to move missile batteries  into the Western Ukraine to intimidate Russia. Never going to happen.

The Ukraine has been Russian for the last 200 years with 80% of the people both speaking Russian and pro-Russian. It is their sphere of influence. According to my information for Europe, no troops invaded the Ukraine. Russia has 30,000 troops already there protecting Sevastopol.  Most of the Ukraine troops in the Crimea are already pro-Russian and that is why no shots were fired. The Western media plays this up as an invasion of the Crimea when it is nothing of the sort.

80% of what the Crimea gets comes from the Ukraine which is why it is difficult for me to see Putin stopping from somehow taking over the whole of the Ukraine. The propaganda that is put out by the U.S. media is worse than that of the Nazi Reich under Gobbels.

Going into this situation would take me five pages of real information and perhaps in another Remarks. GAZPROM is NEVER mentioned anywhere and this is the main intention. To preserve the gas strangle hold on Europe.

To repeat to the reader, Syria in not about the Arab Spring (which is total bullshit), not about Democracy for Syria, not about gassing people which never took place in Syria,. It is about GAZPROM maintaining and building a gas pipeline through Turkey, then through Syria, to the Mediterranean to supply and maintain the strangle hold of gas delivery to Europe.  I believe that the Ukraine will be the cemetery of the U.S. dollar. Russia has all the cards to play and we have  people in the White House and the Foreign Service who display a breath-taking level of incompetence. Low grade Morons In my opinion. The U.S. is on a self-destruct course at some point in the near future. And that is why, gold and silver, at any price and in your possession, are your main course of action.

Every time the Fed has a meeting and it take center media stage, it is knocked down on purpose through manipulation. This is nothing new. Name me one time that when the Fed is meeting that gold is not sold off.
                                                      WAR CYCLES

Could we be on the verge of another cold war?  My answer is absolutely. Could the Ukraine end up causing military conflict? My answer is absolutely. I have talked about these cycles in my previous Remarks.

I would keep in mind that the war cycles rise all the way into 2020. So, in my opinion,. there is a lot of time for the war situation to get a whole lot worse. Once it is determined that the commodities have bottomed,  and they will) the cycles of war is going to become the number one force that will drive all commodities higher. Watch out for the controlled media to systematically lie to the public. At this writing, I do not believe that gold has bottomed.

You are taken to WAR by your government to take your mind off the misery that is going on at home, and not only misery, but a lot more of that to come. The events that we are about to see unfold will affect not only every major market on this planet, but also every economy and every society. I feel it is going to get that bad.

But, in my opinion, it is going to go well beyond the Ukraine. This country is just one of the stepping stones to the beginning of something serious.

The cycles ramp up to include Civil Wars, domestic violence, geo-political stress and even major international conflict. They are all on the table now.

                                                      SUMMARY

All these Remarks constantly talks about what is the truth.

All these Remarks talk about gold as pure wealth.

According to history, gold has risen 67.43 fold since 1967. This is more than twice the performance of the Dow over the same period of time. ( Dow did 18.45) This answers the claim that stocks are a better investment than gold long term.

The media can  knock gold down as often as they want, but it is the only way for the little guy to accumulate and store wealth. Most of the time, gold has outperformed the stock market over a long term basis without exception. It may lay there for years without doing much, never pays interest, but its shine as along term investment has never been bettered.

There is no investment that has outlasted gold.
 
                                                       PRECIOUS METALS

I mentioned some time ago that gold has to bottom in the $1150 range. The only caveat was that if there was a threat of an immediate WAR or conflict, gold would ratchet up, which it has. But gold at this moment is not out of the woods. According to the charts that I read and interpret gold must hold the $1278 level and silver must hold the $18.18 level. If it does not, then we will go lower. At the moment gold is $1286 and silver is $19.83.

On Friday gold closed at $1304 up $17.00. For gold to be considered in a breakout mode it would have to break the $1320 and then $1360 resistance levels. so let's be patient and relax.

There is no question in my mind that the metals will bottom this year and that gold and silver are heading substantially higher in the year and years ahead. Getting emotional about gold will not help you.

The dollar's value is derived from the confidence investors have that the U.S. will honor its debts. In turn, this comes from pure money printing which debases the currency now at an ever increasing rate. The point to make here clearly is that the U.S. has made promises to pay that it cannot possibly keep. The value of the dollar is based upon these promises on which the U.S. will reneg.

The truth is that we are on a pace to accumulate  more new DEBT under the 8 years of the Obama administration than we did under all other presidents in all of U.S. history combined.

Can the reader fathom that statement???

Every hour of every single day, our politicians are stealing about $100,000,000 from future generations of Americans. It is a crime so vast that it is hard to put into words, and it is literally destroying the economic future of this country..

Over the last 14 months, the U.S. national debt has increased by more than 1.25 trillion dollars. In the previous three years your government has run over the budget by $1.6 trillion dollars each year.. What most Americans do not realize, is that the U.S. government must borrow far more than a trillion dollars each year Trillions more in existing debt must be "rolled over" just to keep the game going. For example, your government rolled over
more than $7.5 trillion dollars of existing debt in 2013. (Bureau of the Budget)

So what is going to happen someday when the rest of the world pulls out and stops lending us trillions of dollars at ridiculously low interest rates below real rate of inflation. It is already happening and big time.. You buy gold and silver at any price.

Our financial system is far more vulnerable than we are being told. We are in the terminal phase of the greatest bubble in the history of the planet, and when this bubble bursts it is going to be an absolutely spectacular disaster. The bubble did burst in 2008 and the Fed had to print $18 trillion to bail out the world. That is peanuts compared to what is coming.
 
I do not say that to scare anyone. I am not an alarmist, a fear monger, a doomsayer or anything like that.  I am simply a student of history, of society, of mass human behavior, of markets, and how certain behaviors and patterns in markets. economics, and governments repeat themselves over and over again.

And the absolute truth is that the DEATH  all major civilizations is etched in history.

Great nations always follow the same progression of events: from a period of great prosperity; to one of delusion, and ultimately suicide.

The government spends too much on its military and the promises it makes to its citizens.

It wakes up and the country is broke; so it borrows all it can from its people, and still more from foreign countries and central banks.

The debts become so horrendous and unwieldy investors finally scream that they have had enough and slam their wallets shut. Bond markets start to tumble and interest rates head higher., no matter what the monetary or central authorities do.

And that is when  panicky political leaders begin to turn on their citizens. We are right here at this statement. The government begins to confiscate the citizens wealth, destroy their freedoms ( ostensibly to protect them) tax them into oblivion in a final effort to avert the coming financial

Armageddon. The money itself is bastardized, the coinage degraded.

Our country is dying, largely because of the abuse of power by politicians,. the rapidly rising taxation that is driving many of its citizens into destitution, and then onto the public dole, and driven other citizens to leave this country. Soon to come a corrupt Treasury and justice system that tracks down its citizens and then confiscates their wealth--largely to fund
this government's runaway debt. In the end, as in the past civilizations, there will be no money left.  Taken from the writings of Will Durant, The Story of Civilization

" A Great Civilization is not conquered from without, till it has destroyed itself from within"

" The essential cause of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her falling trade, her bureaucratic despotism , her stifling taxes, her consuming wars" Durant   Does all this not ring familiar?  All the reader has to do is wait

And at the same time (as repeated above) engage in a diversionary tactic to divert their citizens attention away from the problems at home. The costs of the military and the pomp of Emperors. There is no better example than the

Roman Empire , arguably the most important and influential civilization the world has every known. (The writings of Tacitus and others) It's all there for anyone to read. We are following the fall of Rome exactly.   Till later
