Remember: Japan was using almost 25% of their tax revenue to service their national debt before this spike started. They are in a debt trap and the noose is tightening. Rapidly.

Top 5 Places NOT To Be In A Dollar Collapse
All currencies have arbitrary fiat value.
Gold is just a commodity it’s no better than paper currency when it’s being used.
That’s one of many reasons we should abandon the proxy barter system and start switching over to a resource based economic scientifically designed to meet human needs and maximize creative freedoms. All money does is create a system of [...]

Japan should serve as a lesson to central planners around the world.
Japan’s stock market/ real estate bubble burst in the early ‘90s. Since that time Japan has launched NINE QE efforts equal to roughly 25% of its GDP. And GDP growth has worsened despite these efforts from 2% to 1%. Ditto for employment.
Japan elected a new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in September 2012. Since that time, his [...]

The media is jumping for joy over last week’s US jobs numbers. But beneath the veneer of headline numbers lies a truly horrible economic reality.
Let’s have a look at the two key economies for the world: China and the US.
For starters, China’s recent economic data, as massaged as it is to the upside, is downright awful. China’s PMI numbers were the worst in two years. Staffing levels [...]
CONFIRMED: Europe’s Strongest Economy Continues To Contract
April PMI for Germany came in at 48.1, which is down from 49.0 last month. Anything below 50 is contraction.
What’s worse, there was a reduction in staffing levels, and total manufacturing output had its first drop all year.
Here’s a quick summary.

“The Reality Is The Financial System Could Fail At Any Time”
Investors must heed this warning and get their assets out of the banks now. The reality is the financial system could fail at any time and this is why investors must act today. See what’s happening in Cyprus: Banks are closed and whether people have cash, stocks, or gold in the bank, they won’t get it out of there.
This is [...]

I hope you’ve heard my latest interview with Ranting Andy Hoffman concerning the bank theft taking place in Cyprus. If not, please go listen now. It is very important that you understand exactly what’s going on and how it’s going to affect you. Every thinking person on the Internet is talking about it and yet the mainstream media has reported upon it in the most perfunctory manner, [...]
“The US has become Weimar Amerika, a fascist enclave.”
The propaganda has turned openly laughable. On the popular major financial news networks, the recent decline in the so-called Gold price has prompted quite the parade of clowns on the ship of fools to trumpet nonsense. The widely published and posted Gold price is dominated by futures contracts, and thus as corrupted as meaningless.
The entire global financial structure is crumbling before our [...]

The US Government and the US Federal Reserve downplay the threat of inflation. There are two primary reasons for this:
1) Acknowledging higher inflation would mean both revising GDP growth much lower (last quarter’s FDP growth would have been negative 1% if you accounted for the real increase in costs of living).
2) One of the primary arguments the Fed uses for why it can print hundreds of billions [...]

A mile-high tidal wave could not do more damage to human beings than the unnatural force called government. In terms of outright mass murder – line ‘em up at the edge of the ditch and mow ‘em down – government has no equal.

BMO Advisor Coxe: “This Is the Worst Trading Situation I Have Ever Seen”
Peter Byrne of The Gold Report (2/22/13)
Taking inspiration from George Orwell’s “1984,” renowned BMO advisor Don Coxe has coined the expression “Weakness is Strength” to describe the current economic situation. In a far-ranging interview with The Gold Report, Coxe explains how an international regime of weak currencies has set the scene for a upsurge in the price of [...]

The Pound Gets Pounded
As the global currency war intensifies, the majority of attention has been paid to the 17% fall of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar over the past few months. The implosion has given cover to the sad performance of another once mighty currency: the British pound sterling. But in many ways the travails of the pound is far more instructive to those pondering [...]
Japan Refuses To Exit Triple-Dip Recession As Q4 GDP Disappoints Expectations Of A Positive Print
Despite so much pent up hope that Japan would post a 0.4% annualized growth (and a 0.1% rise Q/Q) in its Q4 GDP, finally exiting that pesky triple dip recession it has been stuck in for the past five years, moments ago the Cabinet Office reported that contrary to optimistic expectations, in the 4th quarter the [...]

The long-term goal of Communist Red Chinese is to take over the wealth creation resources of the planet.
The quasi merger between the authoritarian Maoists and the global capitalists plays out as a sorry act in the Beijing Red Theater. The performance designed to distract and confuse really has the destruction of Western economies as the climax. The sell out of the West, under the skilled dirty [...]
Howard Marks: “There Are Times For Aggressiveness; Now Is A Time For Caution”
Oaktree Capital’s Howard Marks begins his latest missive with a few hard truths. Anyone who has read his memos of the last 23 years will see he returns often to a few topics. This is due to the frequency with which themes tend to recur in the investment world. Humans, he notes, often fail to learn. They forget the [...]

The economic implosion of Europe is accelerating. Even while the mainstream media continues to proclaim that the financial crisis in Europe has been “averted”, the economic statistics that are coming out of Europe just continue to get worse. Manufacturing activity in Europe has been contracting month after month, the unemployment rate in the eurozone has hit yet another brand new record high, and the official unemployment rates in both [...]
The Markets Starting To Take A Closer Look At The US

2013′s biggest Grey Swan might be not China’s slowdown or Euro area’s continued debt crisis (although both are pretty much still on the books, although the former is less likely than the latter). It might not even be the Japanese economic implosion (albeit Japan is sick beyond any repair)… oh, no… the real Grey [...]

The US’s “EU Style” Negotiations Will Without a Doubt Take Us Over the Cliff

Ever since the EU Crisis began in earnest in January 2010, EU leaders have maintained the following strategy:
1) Engage in endless meetings/ discussions, none of which resolve anything.
2) Announce that the situation is resolved.
3) Wait for the world to realize nothing has been fixed.
4) Repeat.
The prime example is Greece. There have been no less than 30 “Greece is saved” press releases/ announcements, accompanied by market rallies only to [...]
Please read this column, more than anything it shows how our politicians use our own tax dollars to keep themselves in office, how their liberal use of our tax dollars are changing us into western Europeans and the welfare state is changing our character.

We’re quickly heading towards the point of no return.
from Jeremy Grantham:
The phenomenon of ever-more humans using a finite supply of natural resources cannot continue forever, Grantham says–and the prices of metals, hydrocarbons (oil), and food are now beginning to reflect that.
Grantham believes that the planet can only sustainably support about 1.5 billion humans, versus the 7 billion on Earth right now (heading to 10-12 billion). For all of history except the [...]
The markets are going to go into meltdown soon so expect stocks to lose 20 percent of their value, Marc Faber, author of the Gloom, Boom and Doom report told CNBC on Tuesday.

Make no mistake – the economic situation in a number of European nations is deteriorating rapidly, so much so that basic survival has become an issue for more and more people.
Consider Spain, whose government will have to borrow €207 billion (about $334.6 billion) next year just to survive (widening the country’s debt to more than 90 percent of its annual gross domestic product – the [...]

Everywhere we look the masses are hurting. Whether it be the 100 million Americans dependent on the government safety net to survive, or the millions of Europeans rioting in the streets of Spain and Greece, a sense of serious crisis is in the air.
Over the last four years, slowly and without abatement, the economic outlook across the globe has worsened significantly.
In France, a new 75% income tax on individuals earning over [...]

Spain appears poised to become the next Greece in the ongoing European Union (EU) implosion, as Spaniards are withdrawing record amounts of funds from Spanish banks to avoid a potential insolvency situation. According to the New York Times (NYT), the equivalent of $94 billion was withdrawn from Spanish banks in July, an amount that equals seven percent of the country’s overall economic output.
Though stronger overall compared to [...]

What happens when debt-fueled false prosperity disappears? Just look at Spain. The 4th largest economy in Europe was riding high during the boom years, but now the Spanish economy is collapsing with no end in sight. When a debt bubble gets interrupted, the consequences can be rather chaotic. Just like we saw in Greece, austerity is causing the economy to slow down in Spain. But when the economy slows [...]
Celente connects the dots between the financial implosion and a huge new war.

Flashback: Herman van Rompuy, President of the European Union: “Homogenous Nation States are Dead”.
The collapse of the Euro and the European Union is not a result of the financial crisis created by the bankers. In fact, the crisis was created as a way to justify the banker acquisition of independent nation states in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, among others.
After reading what van Rompuy’s intention is in multiple occasions – [...]

Hedging Against Capital Controls: Opening an Account Overseas
As financial insecurity and instability rise, hedging becomes increasingly important as a means of capital preservation. One potential hedge is diversifying one’s liquid capital by holding some cash in a “safe haven” foreign bank account.
Two signs that fear and instability have reached critical mass are capital flight and capital controls. Capital flight is people and enterprises moving [...]
