Obama Intends To Collapse US Economy – Ann Barnhardt

Sisa: Economic Collapse Drug of Choice

from The Victory Report:

Greece’s infamous new drug, sisa, is basically meth and filler ingredients like battery acid, engine oil, shampoo, and cooking salt. The majority of its users are poor, often homeless, city dwellers reeling from the psychological and physical impacts of a country in the grip of economic collapse.

The US is obsessed with stopping “money laundering”. It’s also the biggest money launderer in existence.

CONFIRMED: It Is Simply Impossible For Any Central Bank To Exit Their Loose Money Policies Without Triggering Market Crash

As the market panic demonstrates, central banks are stuck on a treadmill of money printing

Oh what a tangled web central bankers weave when they practice to deceive… Last night’s panic in Tokyo, where the Nikkei dropped a stomach churning 7 per cent, demonstrates just how difficult it’s going to be for the world’s central banks to exit their loose money policies.

It’s not even as if Ben Bernanke, chairman of the [...]

The Fed’s Hands Are Tied… Right as the Financial System Begins to Crack

by Phoenix Capital Research

 

Japan’s Nikkei, after rallying over 70% since November, just collapsed 11% in less than two days. Looking at the chart, it’s pretty clear where this thing is heading: the same as the NASDAQ in 2000.

This is the problem with economic policy that focuses on pushing stocks higher: eventually the collapsing economy comes home to roost and stocks implode. We saw this in 2000 and 2008. We’re currently [...]

The Clash of Civilizations & Perpetual War

Abby Martin talks to Dr. John Trumpbour, research director at Harvard Law School’s labor and work life program, about the theory of the clash of civilizations, the idea that a culture or war is inevitable and inherent in the relationship between the East and West; Hollywood’s homogenization of US culture and Harvard’s perpetuation of the ruling class.

What If Stocks, Bonds and Housing All Go Down Together?

by Charles Hugh-Smith

About the claim that central banks will never let asset bubbles pop ever again–their track record of permanently inflating asset bubbles leaves much to be desired.

The problem with trying to solve all our structural problems by injecting “free money” liquidity into financial Elites is that all the money sloshing around seeks a high-yield home, and in doing so it inflates bubbles that inevitably pop with devastating consequences.

As noted [...]

If JGB investors ‘believe’ as Richard Koo earlier noted, in the BoJ’s new actions and Abenomics (to double the monetary base and generate inflation), then, Kyle Bass explains, a rational investor is likely to sell a portion if not all of them. The BoJ only has JPY10 trillion cushion (after the JPY60 trillion deficit) to soak up this ‘rational investor paradox’ selling and this [...]

JPMorgan exposed: Company found guilty of masterminding ‘manipulative schemes’

The financial institution that came to epitomize the “too big to fail” concept should have been left to its own economic destruction during the days of the Great Recession it helped to cause back in 2008-09, because had it been allowed to go under, its criminal behavior would have ended then.

But as it was, the taxpayer bailout of the financial giant JPMorgan did not “teach” it’s [...]

Menendez: Immigration Bill DOES NOT Have Votes To Pass Senate

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Friday that the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill doesn’t have enough votes to pass the Senate.

The three powerful ways quality dividend stocks can compound your wealth

CHART OF THE DAY: Central Banks Covering 27% Of The World Slashed Interest Rates This Month

“Central bankers claim that they aren’t starting a currency war,” wrote market expert Ed Yardeni.  “They deny that their policies are aimed at the competitive devaluation of their currencies. Let’s call it competitive ultra-easing.”

The Federal Reserve has famously been keeping rates low since the financial crisis.  In recent months, the Bank of Japan has made stunning calls to devalue its own currency.

In recent weeks, many of the world’s other central banks have been cutting rates [...]
