Protest for the woman being evicted, near the woman’s private drive
Militarized cops in full combat gear were called to evict a woman from her house in Idaho Springs, Colorado, on October 30.

The lack of enthusiasm for the latest effort to centralize all banking and monitory regulation within the European Central Bank suggests that the surreal struggle for continental unanimity still resides in the minds of banksters. Elites still seek to perfect the class distinguish of century-old traditions, into a modern version of feudal serfdom. Globalism is the brainchild of the cabal of international banking.
As long [...]

Oakland police chief told a court that he never saw emails from city officials and a federal court monitor who emailed him about police brutality and other illegal actions by his force in its response to Occupy Oakland. That’s because, he says, he used a spam-filter to automatically spam-filter all messages containing phrases like “occupy,” “police brutality,” “press pass,” and “excessive force.” More from SFGate’s Matthai Kuruvila.

Japan’s Toshiba Corp cut its full-year operating profit forecast by 13 percent to 260 billion yen ($3.3 billion) on Wednesday, saying the uncertain global economy weighed on its prospects.
The company said the continuing European debt crisis, slowdowns in China and India, and a strong yen were combining to “increase uncertainty about the future.”
For the July-September period, Toshiba posted an operating profit of 57.5 billion yen, slightly better [...]

The U.S. is pushing for military intervention in Mali to hose out a new al-Qaida enclave. Undoubtedly it needs to be done. But so much for the White House’s facile claim to having terrorists on the run.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Algeria Monday, pleading with its government to support a U.S.-France-led military mission to destroy al-Qaida’s latest conquest in northern Mali, an impoverished African state along [...]

Today, the US total debt rose by $32 billion touching on a new record high of $15.392 trillion. As a reminder this is just the beginning: as we noted yesterday, according to the president’s own budget total US debt is now expected to surpasses the greatest and final debt ceiling of $16.4 trillion just around September, and likely sooner with the addition of the $160 billion in additional debt needed to fund [...]
According the Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign website, Jon Corzine of Hoboken, New Jersey raised at least $500,000 for the president’s reelection effort. Here’s the listing:

(Reuters) – MF Global unloaded hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of securities to Goldman Sachs in the days leading up to its collapse, according to two former MF Global employees with direct knowledge of the transactions. But it did not immediately receive payment from its clearing firm and lender, JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM - News), one of the sources said.

Following the market drop in early November, it was widely expected by most, us included, that stock shorts would pile in once again, only to be burned by moves like today’s, which is more of an attempt to flush out even more shorts by hitting limit pain thresholds, than buying on any actual fundamental improvements. Curiously, as the just released NYSE data, the short interest at November 15, not [...]

Man, this last 36 hours has been no fun at all. But, at least I don’t work for MFing Global. I feel awful for the good employees from the former Lind-Waldock. Sucks. It just plain sucks.
Sucks for me, too. In order to buy some out-of-the-money, 2012 gold and silver calls, I just sent them a check last week. My bank informed me this morning [...]

The next challenge: not too many people, but too few?

LONDON | Mon Oct 24, 2011 7:21am EDT

Earlier today we presented Bloomberg’s Chart of the Day which represented the GDP and Debt per capita on a historical and projected basis, and we hysterically, and tongue-in-cheekly, dubbed it “The Scariest Chart Ever” because it confirmed that at some point, very soon, US Debt will surpass GDP and never look back. We decided to dig into the actual numbers (cancelling out the per capital denominator as it is the [...]

You can now add peanut butter, a long-time recession staple food item, to the list of things that “the 99 percent” may no longer be able to afford. Thanks to droughts, the price of peanut butter has gone up from $450 a ton to $1,150 a ton in just one year and now peanut butter makers are about to pass on the increased costs to consumers.

China No Longer Top Holder of US Treasuries
If China is no longer the U.S. government’s largest creditor who is?
You guessed it: The Fed.
(Against the backdrop of QE2, this probably isn’t terribly surprising.)
Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge has crunched the numbers from today’s release of TIC data (Treasury International Capital)—and some interesting facts have emerged.
First, the U.S. Federal Reserve holds a total of $996 Billion of U.S. Debt —versus the [...]
