John Galt They don’t call it Black Friday Madness for nothing. Once again, as in years past, America will go wild and demonstrate the worst of humanity; including fights, near riots, knocking down children, and full-on degeneracy – all in search of America’s Holy Grail: a good deal. And it has arrived earlier than ever before, which ironically has led to protests within corporate monolith Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart spokesperson, [...] By Paul B. Farrell, MarketWatch “Atlas Shrugged” is Ayn Rand’s most popular work. And Paul Ryan’s favorite. In the book, the hero, a mysterious rebel leader John Galt saves America from economic collapse. But before we rise from the ashes, before the redemption, the past must be blown up. For that, let’s turn to my favorite, “The Fountainhead,” where Rand offers a subtle hint to capitalism’s eventual self-inflicted shot-in-the-foot. In [...] by John Galt
If you read the mainstream media, pro-Obama websites like “Business Insider” or “CNBC.com,” you might be under the idea that this past Friday’s unemployment report was no big deal, housing has bottomed, and the transportation industry is indicating that growth is back in this anemic economy if you read the headlines and did not do your own research.
Well hell, I’m here to do the [...] by John Galt
So what keeps an academic figurehead for the world’s elite banksters up at night?
A repeat of the 2008 debacle. Thus far they think they have avoided it in the United States however that creeping feeling that the disaster de jour in Europe will not be avoided is starting to permeate the thought processes of our bankers and that means the U.S. taxpayer must be [...] by John Galt
The hits just keep coming and with $647 trillion reasons to worry, aka, the total notional derivatives now outstanding as of Q4 in 2011 per the Bank of International Settlements just released this afternoon and published officially on Monday (click here for the PDF of the full report). The really, really good news is that our Federal Reserve has this completely under control and [...] On a day where gold surged generously on the same thesis with which it managed a five-fold increase in the last decade or so – that of paper money debasement - we thought it appropriate to get some context as to the yellow metal’s history, current implications, and potential future. In a mere 111 seconds, we are treated to a history of sound money (from Croesus to The Bank of England to The Great [...] From Mark Spitznagel, founder and chief investment officer of Universa Investments, a California-based hedge fund, first appearing in Project Syndicate Capital Shrugged Capitalism’s greatest strength has been its resiliency – its ability to survive the throes and challenges of crises and business cycles to fuel innovation and economic growth. Today, however, more than four years into a credit crisis, a conspicuous enigma calls this legacy into question. Despite recent hopes of recovery in the [...] BY JOHN GALT by John Galt In less than sixty minutes, the tiny nation of Iran could easily defeat two of the mightiest military powers in the world if they are allowed to engage in a first strike opportunity against both of those nations. This is not some far-fetched idea as U.S. and Israeli military planners are keenly aware of the implications of an Iranian attack which catches both [...] John Galt Just prior to Black Friday, I issued an alert that anyone shopping in either of two American malls — Promenade Temecula in California, and Short Pump Town Center in Richmond, Va. — would be tracked via their cell phone utilizing FootPathTM technology as they moved from store to store. Fortunately, that test-run produced enough outrage to force both the UK maker of the technology, Path Intelligence, as well as mall management to halt [...] John Galt Sometimes I just get fed up. And it usually happens around the holidays when we are supposed to be spreading some good cheer and kindness toward our fellow man, just in case we have been ignoring that mission otherwise. Maybe just a week or two of peace…. Then Black Friday comes. Then the shopping mobs of X-mas. I know these mobs are not representative of the potential for humanity, or [...] John Galt Sometimes I just get fed up.

Each morning there is the breakthrough story of a new facility or program to keep the union intact or maintain [...] In “Atlas Shrugged,” it’s 2016 America. The Dow has fallen below 4,000, gasoline prices are through the roof and infrastructure is falling apart. High-speed rail looks like the future. Government denounces selfish corporate interests and concerns itself mainly with dividing the dwindling wealth. This isn’t loony-bin stuff: Attention must be paid. Though a bit stiff in the joints and acted by an undistinguished cast amid TV-movie trappings, [...] by DarkMath Gold holders received a %75 premium for their Gold. If the same thing were to happen today the Fed would have to revalue Gold far higher. Why? Because revaluing Gold would allow the Fed to elliminate the National Debt. Gold holders would receive a %615 premium if the Fed revalues Gold to $8000/oz. Not a bad investment. Of course Gold could go down if interest rates rise but [...] by gwar Everything is too leveraged to respond the way it used to and QE II means they’re just buying more leveraged assets (bonds), making it worse. There’s too much credit, not enough liquidity and it’s the pushing on a string thing. The suggestion from some quarters, therefore, is for the Fed to buy unleveraged gold assets from the treasury books, instead of UST bonds, which would [...] |
