Wake-Up Call - 2/27/12
February 27, 2012 Think For Yourselves!
The absurdity of politics and the time and energy it wastes. The lies you are being told about retail sales and the declining profitability of major retailers. The situation is horrific. Tens of thousands of stores will have to close in the years ahead and, being the largest tenants, this will affect malls everywhere. The economy is having and will continue to have a major impact on spending for the foreseeable future. Retailer defaults will also have a huge impact on the banks. Rules and regulations are being created by enforcement agencies with no oversight or checks and balances. They have the force of law. They are increasingly invasive and affect even non-US, offshore entities. This is a growing monster in our midst.

February 20, 2012 There – Is – Still – No – Economic – Recovery!
I cite plentiful statistics that confirm that things are no better than they were three years ago and in many cases they are considerably worse. Any apparent gain is nothing more than the use of credit by consumers and outrageous money-printing by the Fed (and others). It’s just legal counterfeiting. Deficit spending by governments and fraudulent credit creation by the people. Two-thirds of Americans resent class conflicts but they would rather “grow and expand the economy” than reduce the income and wealth gap between rich and poor. Far from deleveraging, there has been a massive increase in debt in recent months. Denial reigns supreme! Janet Tavkoli’s new book, The New Robber Barons.

February 17, 2012 Misguided Policies And The Absurdity Of Money Printing
The to-and-fro of economic activity has nothing to do with the activities of a central bank. Left alone, it is self-adjusting. Government interference can only aggravate the downturns. Saving money is another way of foregoing consumption. It is not helpful to buy what we don’t need even if governments constantly exhort us to do so. The consequences of artificially low interest rates. The role of banks. Malinvestment. Problems of retirees trying to outlive their money (their primary concern today). The shortcomings of democracy.

February 13, 2012 Counterfeiting Worldwide
Greece passed its austerity bill in parliament amidst large-scale rioting in Athens. Unfortunately, this will change nothing for the Greeks who will have to endure the consequences of misguided policies for decades to come. Why the U.S. economy is a counterfeit economy. It is essential to understand the difference between “productive value” and “surplus value”. Steps leading to the implosion of the system. Arguments used to support the “optimistic” version of the future. Austerity is alive and well in the U.S. Is the only solution to the social security and Medicare problem mass annihilation of the populace? Joblessness among 18-24-year-olds: 46%.
Wake-Up Call - 2/10/12
February 10, 2012 The mortgage fraud scandal: a complete capitulation. No prosecutions, no personal fines – just the usual slaps on the wrist. What a travesty! And, as always, the mainstream media throws its entire weight behind the ‘settlement’. The current situation in Greece and the bailout which never comes. Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy: it’s their turn next. The crisis accelerates. A word about Hong Kong, living with budget surpluses and low taxes, rebating excess money to the taxpayer! The new Department of Homeland Security report describes the new-and-improved definition of ‘terrorism’ along with the terrifyingly mundane profiles of those deemed ‘potential terrorists’. This should alarm each and every one of you. The consequences of all this are too awful to describe… but the goons are waiting for you in the wings The false comparison of consumption to growth (and GDP). There is no growth. Consumption today equals survival. Buying power shrinks, necessities cost ever more… and the consumer is squeezed in the middle, desperately trying to keep up.

February 6, 2012 Will The Fraudsters Ever Be Brought To Justice? Does anyone care?
Charles Biderman talks about the unemployment figures last week. The economy is NOT recovering. There is no meaningful effort to oversee the country’s finances and this leads directly to abuse of power. Masses of new rules and regulations designed to achieve nothing. America just ‘goes through the motions’. Nothing and nobody will fix America. No sacrifices are envisaged. Complacency reigns supreme. Will Obama’s new task force designed to root out and punish mortgage abuses gain traction? Is it even designed to do so? Tension between Gen-Xers and the Boomers inhibit a constructive approach to America’s problems. Pay attention to the way in which social pressures force you to comply and meld in with prevailing views and opinions. Governments have ways to achieve this via propaganda and the rule book. Learn how to resist now. Question your views and attitudes constantly and make sure they ring true to you.

February 3, 2012 …pertaining to none other than arguably the most important economic statistic of the month: the unemployment figures! Printing money: how and why it is just counterfeiting, no matter who does it. The Fed colludes with the financial industry to do this, in effect causing the U.S. to engage in financial fascism. Even the 1% is relocating away from the U.S. (James Cameron, film director). More on the coming economic downturn. An amusing anecdote about Alan Greenspan being fired by a 25-year-old! The metaphor of a dam is used to describe the horrific consequences of “extend-and-pretend”.

Wake Up Call - SPECIAL REPORT
January 25, 2012 Please listen to Gonzalo Lira talking to Max Kaiser. He is one of the few people who is now saying exactly what I have been saying for years. He emphasizes the need for Americans to emigrate and compares the situation to early Nazi Germany and he talks about the degenerating quality of life in the U.S. Not to be missed.

January 21, 2012 Debt, Debt… And More Debt
Another priceless gem from Nigel Farage. There is no solution to the problem of debt. We are past the point-of-no-return. The debts which have hitherto been ignored are now having a noticeable effect on economic “growth”. Debt is like a cancer which has finally hit life-support systems. Again, ignore the media spin. Americans, of course, are meekly obeying the media and ramping up their (debt-based) spending like never before. Interfering with the free play of markets can be counterproductive. Complacency can lead to crisis. (Turkeys being fattened for Thanksgiving are… complacent!) More on the mendacity of the media. The stunning decline of the auto industry. Government’s sweeping new powers are destroying America.

January 13, 2012 The Story Of Debt
Government debt is a Ponzi scheme. Governments must of necessity spend more than they take in. ‘Democracy’ demands it. Debts are not repaid. They are ‘refinanced’. Country defaults are more common than realized. Observations on how long the depression may last. Why some last longer than others. Houses are still losing value at a galloping rate. Growth is falling as fast as ever. A recitation of the EXECUTIVE ORDERS that prepare the backdrop for a total curtailment of your freedoms. You will be stunned to learn what they are.
