- Deepcaster: Biggest Bubble About to Burst!
by Deepcaster, http://silverdoctors.com/
“Nothing is normal: not the economy, not the financial system, not the financial markets and not the political system. The system remains still in the throes and aftershocks of the 2008 panic and the near-systemic collapse, and from the ongoing responses to same by the Federal Reserve and federal government. Further panic is possible and hyperinflation is inevitable. What continues to unfold in the systemic and economic crises is just an ongoing part of the 2008 turmoil. All the extraordinary actions and interventions bought a little time, but they did not resolve the various crises. That the crises continue can be seen in deteriorating economic activity and in the panicked actions by the Federal Reserve, where it proactively is monetizing U.S. Treasury debt at a pace suggestive of a Treasury that is unable to borrow otherwise. -John Williams, ShadowStats

It had to happen. And now it has begun. The very biggest bubble in financial history has begun to deflate. And over the next few months, we expect that deflation to accelerate and morph into a bursting.

Lindsey Williams: Planned Global Collapse in 12-18 Months? 15 May 2013

“Can a microscopic tag be implanted in a person’s body to track his every movement? There’s actual discussion about that. You will rule on that — mark my words — before your tenure is over. Can brain scans be used to determine whether a person’s inclined toward criminality or violent behaviour? You will rule on that.” – Senator Joe Biden(33rd degree Freemason?), 12 September 2005 John Roberts Chief Justice Confirmation Hearing

- GEAB N°75 is available! Systemic crisis 2013: with record stock exchange highs, the planet’s imminent plunge into recession!
by http://www.leap2020.eu/
Despite a feeling of relative calm given by both the media and the American and Japanese financial markets going from record to record, the world economy is slowing down badly and a widespread recession is looming. The various players are fully aware of it and, in the face of the challenges of an imminent collapse, countries or regions are putting various strategies in place to try and limit the consequences. Whilst some seem dictated by desperation or last chance solutions, others on the contrary bear witness to a real adaptation to the world’s current changes. And it’s no surprise that, in the first category, we find the “powers of the world before” which no longer have any real options.

World recession in sight
In fact several signals show that a reversal in the economic situation is imminent. Indeed the term “reversal” isn’t very fitting since the real economy has never really recovered from the 2008 shock: it is, therefore, rather a worsening which we will see.
-
There is no shortage of indices for that. Europe is already in recession. Exports from China, often considered “the workshop of the world”, are falling heavily (see chart below) and the benchmark signals are contracting or slowing down dangerously (1) with, additionally, a major credit bubble (2).
-
Australia, which gives a good indication of the world economy’s health due to its exposure to raw materials, is struggling (3). Consumers are also marking time. US wholesale (4) and retail sales are on the decline.
-
The majority of US benchmark indices are swinging into the red, for example the Chicago PMI index (5), as well as the Goldman Sachs global index (see chart below).
-
In short, a world recession is on the horizon (6). To protect themselves from its impact, the different players, beginning with the banks, use different strategies which we will now analyse.
-
The bank’s doubtful businessIt goes without saying that the financial sector is hardly a model of transparency. But with JP Morgan or Bank of America which “miraculously” succeeded in not having a single day of first quarter trading losses (7), or further, JP Morgan’s gold reserves which have mysteriously emptied (8) whereas by a strange coincidence we saw a crash in the gold price in mid-April, without even mentioning the variety of manipulations effected by the top-tier banks, first and foremost JP Morgan (9) and others as well (10); these shady operations going increasingly unnoticed.
-
Nevertheless, all the banks know that a new storm is on the horizon and are using all the means at their disposal (more or less legal) to shelter themselves, and anything goes, including between the banks themselves. It’s in this light that it’s necessary to look at the various banks’ amazing first quarter balance sheets making it possible to draw in investors, or at least to defer the debacle, or the mid-April crash in the gold price clearly caused by one or more of these financial institutions.
-
These rough battles in the middle of a full economic upheaval will leave their mark and the weakest or most affected banks will not come through the storm undamaged, especially as the financial centres are now facing a new adversary, countries themselves.

Benghazi Update, IRS Scandal, DOJ Seizes AP Records, Another Military Sex Scandal and More!
- Benghazi Update, IRS Scandal, DOJ Seizes AP Records, Another Military Sex Scandal and More!
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
This Week’s Wrap-Up series of stories I call “Scandal-topia.” Benghazi, IRS targeting conservative groups, Department of Justice seizing phone records of the Associated Press (AP) and yet another sex abuse scandal in the U.S. military. While all of these stories are important, they are taking our eyes off other stories of great importance. Let’s run down the list:
-
Benghazi, the White House is releasing some emails, but Republicans want many more released. The left wants to paint this as a “witch hunt,” but lots of questions go unanswered. Mark Thompson, one of the Benghazi whistle-blowers, was in charge of the Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST.) This team is comprised of people like Special Ops, FBI and security experts that can go in for a rescue. Thompson’s testimony in front of Congress said FEST was “taken out of the menu of options.” There was never any intention to mount a rescue, and this was a policy decision that came very early on 9/11/12. The Accountability Review Board says you can’t blame former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the murder and non-rescue of four Americans. Really? The person in charge isn’t to blame?
-
Next up, the scandal involving the IRS targeting of hundreds of conservative groups. If this isn’t against the Constitution and the law, I don’t know what is. This was nothing short of an attempt to stop opposition to the Obama administration and its policies. End of story. I think Speaker of the House John Boehner got it stop on when he said, “Who’s going to jail for this?” Well, don’t hold your breath because it was just announced that the person in charge of tax-exempt organizations (Sarah Hall Ingram) just got a promotion and is going to be in charge of the IRS part of Obama Care. I cannot make this stuff up. The President said he knew nothing about this scandal until he saw news reports.
-
Then, you have the scandal involving Attorney General Eric Holder and Justice Department secretly subpoenaing the phone records of dozens of AP reporters. There was a legitimate security leak involving a foiled bombing plot in Yemen. The mainstream media seems to have finally woken up, and 50 news organizations now say it was out of line. I call it swatting a fly with a cannon. This is what it took for the media to finally wake up? The Patriot Act, NDAA, targeted drone murders and trashing of the rest of the Constitution didn’t cause a problem? That’s rich. Holder says he didn’t know anything about the AP subpoenas. What? How can that be?
-
Finally, yet another sex scandal in the military where women are charging they are being sexually assaulted. In this case, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel really does not know anything about this as he just got the job a few months ago. Still, he’s going to be the one to clean it up. This couldn’t come at a worse time. The Middle East is boiling over in places like Syria, and tensions are mounting with Iran and Israel. Let’s not forget about nuclear armed North Korea that is still simmering on a back burner.
-
Meanwhile, there is a total disconnect with the Wall Street economy and the main street economy. The real unemployment rate is 23%. 47 million Americans are on food stamps. The latest date says the economy is rolling over; and yet, the stock market is hitting fresh all-time highs.

Egon von Greyerz: The Move To Global Hyperinflation Is Now Accelerating!
Feel fee to wipe your ass with it !
- The Move To Global Hyperinflation Is Now Accelerating!
by www.kingworldnews.com
Today Egon von Greyerz told King World News there are extremely clear signs that the move to global hyperinflation is now accelerating. Greyerz had some incredible economic numbers that illustrated the coming hyperinflation. Below is what Greyerz, who is founder of Matterhorn Asset Management out of Switzerland, had to say in this tremendous interview.
-
Greyerz: “Eric, I’m looking at the disconnect in the world and it’s becoming more exacerbated. Let’s look at some examples: Stock markets worldwide are booming, but these booming markets have nothing to do with economic prospects. Prospects in the world are worse than ever, and this includes the US, Europe, Japan and China. None of these countries have a booming economy. What they have is massive debt and accelerating deficits.
-
The Baltic Dry Index is around 900, and is another indicator of the disconnect. The peak of the Baltic Dry Index was around 11,000 about 5 years ago. This shows you what is really happening with global trade and economic activity….
-
“The shipping index hasn’t shown any signs of an upturn in the last year. It trades about 90% lower than it was five years ago. If we look at Japan, the yen is down 30% in the last year, and the Nikkei is up 70% since November.
-
As we know, government debt in Japan is 200% of GDP which is the highest in the world. Total debt in Japan is around 500% of GDP and it’s accelerating. The Japanese bond market is also a disaster and will only get worse. Eventually Japanese bonds will become worthless.

“War is Good for Business”: U.S. is the Largest Military Spender Worldwide. Austerity for Americans, Billions for the Military!

- Daniel 7:23 (New King James Version)

‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.

Daniel 11:36-39 (New King James Version)
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God[a] of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.
-
38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
- - “War is Good for Business”: U.S. is the Largest Military Spender Worldwide. Austerity for Americans, Billions for the Military!
by Prof. Lawrence S. Wittner, http://www.globalresearch.ca/
The U.S. government’s military spending excess — when compared with the rest of the world — is down somewhat due mostly to troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan but still accounts for 39 percent of the global total, according to a new international study.
-
According to a report just released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), world military expenditures in 2012 totaled $1.75 trillion. And, the report revealed that, as in all recent decades, the world’s biggest military spender by far was the U.S. government, whose expenditures for war and preparations for war amounted to $682 billion — 39 percent of the global total.
-
The United States spent more than four times as much on the military as China (the number two big spender) and more than seven times as much as Russia (which ranked third). Although the military expenditures of the United States dipped a bit in 2012, largely thanks to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, they remained 69 percent higher than in 2001.
-
U.S. military supremacy is even more evident when the U.S. military alliance system is brought into the picture, for the United States and its allies accounted for the vast bulk of world military spending in 2012. NATO members, including the United States, spent $1 trillion dollars on the military.
-
Thus, although studies have found that the United States ranks 17th among nations in education, 26th in infant mortality, and 37th in life expectancy and overall health, there is no doubt that it ranks first when it comes to war.
-
This Number 1 status might not carry much weight among Americans scavenging for food in garbage dumpsters, among Americans unable to afford medical care, or among Americans shivering in poorly heated homes. Even many Americans in the more comfortable middle class might be more concerned with how they are going to afford the skyrocketing costs of a college education, how they can get by with fewer teachers, firefighters and police in their communities, and how their hospitals, parks, roads, bridges and other public facilities can be maintained.
-
Of course, there is a direct connection between the massive level of U.S. military spending and belt-tightening austerity at home: most federal discretionary spending goes for war.
-
The Lockheed Martin Corp.’s new F-35 joint strike fighter plane provides a good example of the U.S. government’s warped priorities. It is estimated that this military weapons system will cost the U.S. government $1.5 trillion by the time of its completion. Does this Cold War-style warplane, designed for fighting enemies the U.S. government no longer faces, represent a good investment for Americans?
-
After 12 years of production, costing $396 billion, the F-35 has exhibited numerous design and engineering flaws, has been grounded twice, and has never been flown in combat. Given the immense military advantage the United States already has over all other nations in the world, is this most expensive weapons system in world history really necessary? And aren’t there other, better things that Americans could be doing with their money?
-
Of course, the same is true for other countries. Is there really any justification for the nations of Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America to be increasing their level of military spending — as they did in 2012 — while millions of their people live in dire poverty? Projections indicate that, by 2015, about a billion people around the world will be living on an income of about $1.25 per day. When, in desperation, they riot for bread, will the government officials of these nations, echoing Marie Antoinette, suggest that they eat the new warplanes and missiles?
