Looks like a pole reversal is likely within 2 years from now.. probably much sooner because of the exponential acceleration. description: There is no word more evocative in the urban vernacular than “suburb.” For most of us, those two syllables conjure a very specific type of place, with a specific kind of people comfortably living there.
“We think about suburbs in one way,” says Elizabeth Kneebone, a fellow at the Brookings Institution‘s Metropolitan Policy Program. “We have a very stereotypical view of suburbs as middle-class, affluent, Leave-It-To-Beaver type places.” And yet, over the last decade, [...] Scientists say the recent downturn in the rate of global warming will lead to lower temperature rises in the short-term. Since 1998, there has been an unexplained “standstill” in the heating of the Earth’s atmosphere. Writing in Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this will reduce predicted warming in the coming decades. But long-term, the expected temperature rises will not alter significantly. The slowdown in the expected rate of global warming has been studiedfor [...] Michael Bastasch Despite the heated rhetoric from the Obama administration and environmental groups about the urgency of global warming, climate scientists have begun to come to terms with the lack of evidence of catastrophic global warming over the last decade. “While some climate scientists continue to resist the obvious that the climate system is more complex than they assumed, others are starting to accept that the multi-decadal climate projections [...] Apple is no longer the world’s most valuable publicly traded company Its shares have hit their lowest levels in a year-and-a-half Apple faces competition from Samsung which unveiled Galaxy S4 last month

The US has been lying to all of us for decades now. We’re not talking about some kooky conspiracy theory… we’re talking about INFLATION. By understating inflation, the Federal Government and Federal Reserve have done two things: 1) Exaggerated our economic growth. 2) Lied about the true cost of living in the US. Regarding #1, every time the US prints GDP growth numbers, it adjusts this data for inflation. The reason for [...]

But as budget woes hit cities and states across America, and [...] Mac Slavo
Budget cuts across the country have stripped local police departments of personnel at an alarming rate. So much so that Americans from coast-to-coast are now being forced to fend for themselves. Our latest example comes from East Oakland’s Arcadia Park, where law and order have broken down to such an extent that residents have been been left with no other choice but to band together to police their own [...] Mac Slavo
At a recent meeting of the American Economic Association a vote was held about whether or not the United States should back its currency with gold. Not surprisingly, 100% of mainstream economists educated by our most prestigious universities were against such a measure. From the top down, there is a cult-like belief that our paper monetary system is absolute and infallible. Yet, as we have seen throughout history, and especially [...] 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.

During the housing boom of the last decade Americans withdrew over $1 trillion in home equity. They did it through cash-out refinances, home equity loans, and home equity lines of credit. The latter allowed them to use their homes [...] Via Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog, The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. Society is like a stew.

Did the Dow Theory generate an official sell signal earlier this month? Two of the Dow Theorists I monitor say “yes.” The other one remains on a buy signal. … Instead, the Theory was introduced in dribs and drabs over the first three decades of the last century — in editorials in The Wall Street Journal by its then-editor, William Peter Hamilton.
