Japan Bond Yields Spike – 10-Year Now at 1% Japanese government bond (JGB) yields soared to 1 percent on Thursday, their highest level in a year, prompting the Bank of Japan to hold true to its promise of taking action to stabilize an incredibly volatile bond market. Analysts expected the market volatility to last for a while, but added that buying by domestic pension funds and the [...] by Michael Is the coming financial collapse going to be inflationary or deflationary? Are we headed for rampant inflation or crippling deflation? This is a subject that is hotly debated by economists all over the country. Some insist that the wild money printing that the Federal Reserve is doing combined with out of control government spending will eventually result in hyperinflation. Others point to all of the deflationary factors in our economy [...] Markets Are On The Verge of Euphoria This is what it looks like.

Fed Pours Huge Sums Into Foreign Bank Coffers We noted even before the TARP bailout law was signed into law that bailout moneys could flow to foreign banks. We were right. A large percentage of the bailouts went to foreign banks (and see this). And so did ahuge portion of the money from quantitative easing. More here and here. Ron Paul noted in 2011 that essentially 100% of New York Federal Reserve Bank loans went to foreign banks. A former high-level Federal Reserve official said that the [...] by Phoenix Capital Research

If you’ll recall, two weeks ago, Hilsenrath wrote that the Fed was planning to taper its QE purchases before the end of the year. Today, Hilsenrath wrote that when the Fed does taper its buying it won’t be “predictable.” [...] Jim Rickards, Senior Managing Director at Tangent Capital, says the Bank of Japan’s monetary easing policy is so aggressive they are forcing other central banks to cut rates.

The “Dr. Boom” scenario: America is about to “unleash a spending spree. Years of self-denial give way to pent-up demand,” predicts UBS economist Maury Harris in USA Today’s bold lead story. His clue? Consumer sentiment: “Harris estimates that in the next five years, catch-up consumption will boost annual consumer spending growth by a half point to above 3% from about 2%.” Reassuring? No, wishful thinking. Be [...] Just got this very reliable financial intel. Get ready to short Japanese equities and expect another real-estate bubble burst.

It’s not a stretch to suggest that Americans are over medicated. In 2011 doctors across the nation wrote an astounding four billion medical prescriptions, amounting to an average of 13 prescriptions for every man, woman and child in the United States. In the next few weeks the American Psychiatric Associations is releasing their updated fifth version their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5); the so-called ‘bible’ of [...] Porter Stansberry: There is now a 100% chance of a market collapse …Historically, looking at the two commodities, the average multiple of gas to oil was about 10x. That is, a barrel of oil was, on average, 10 times more expensive than one thousand cubic feet of gas. By last April, that premium had reached an all-time high of 55 times. There was no way that kind of price relationship could have [...] A paper presented at the 2013 Canadian Neuroscience Meeting, the annual meeting of the Canadian Association for Neuroscience – Association Canadienne des Neurosciences (CAN-ACN), says the problem is addiction rather than food wealth – the authors claim that high-fructose corn syrup can cause behavioral reactions in rats similar to those produced by drugs of abuse such as cocaine. It’s the “Food Addiction” hypothesis that has recently become popular, which posits [...] How ironic, arrests made on CONSTITUTION BLVD The chief judge of the District’s federal court issued an unusual order Wednesday, apologizing to the public and the media for not making certain court documents widely available online.

This is the worst two-month drop in 17 months. This is problematic for the PBoC who are being arbitraged left, right, and center and know that any stimulus will merely serve to exacerbate the problems they face (as we noted here [...] The audience erupted today after Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) went off on IRS official Lois Lerner today. Lerner, the director of the IRS division that singled out hundreds of conservative groups, delivered an opening statement today on how proud she was of her work and then pleaded the Fifth Amendment and clammed up. Gowdy didn’t like this much. With Greece suffering the biggest economic depression in decades, all so a few rich men can preserve their wealth and not have their EUR-denominated savings wiped out (even if the alternative means finally being able to rebalance externally using the Drachma instead of forcing internal rebalancing via unemployment and plunging wages), it was only a matter of time before we found out just how humiliating the conversion of the entire [...] from The Daily Bell: Derivatives Reform on the Ropes … New rules to regulate derivatives, adopted last week by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, are a victory for Wall Street and a setback for financial reform.

The research paper, which hasn’t yet undergone peer review, seems to confirm both the existence of cold fusion, and its potency: The cold fusion device being tested has roughly 10,000 times the energy density and 1,000 times the power density of gasoline.

Not just as a cabal of lying, preening, and corrupt politicos, but an administration so wedded to authoritarian progressive doctrine they will hammer at the load-bearing walls of liberty in pursuit of their statist agenda.

On the other hand, a “couple” of Fed officials said the Fed might have to ease [...] One of the mainstream media journalists whose pursuit of the truth has been truly tenacious and nonpartisan is CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson.
