Analyzing Strange Volume on the NYSE

The dollar is the arb, it has to be. If you're long AIG or any of these other stinking corpses, then you must be short the dollar.

Analyzing Strange Volume on the NYSE

So the true NYSE volume, minus this garbage, is less than 4 billion. Should that be surprising for august? How much of the remaining 3.5-4 billion volume is also pure pooper scooping? And is there an easy way to chart the total NYSE volume minus these 4 stocks for the past year?

Worst Housing Number in Decades: What Is the Wall Street Media Smoking?

The whole thing is one big criminal racket. That's why we will end up with capital flight and broad asset deflation. Everyone, EVERYONE will come to hate the bankers and the stock market, and it will all get wiped out. DOW will test 1800.

The Worst Case Scenario (Someone Has to Say It)

It's all about energy. The Fed can print all the money it wants. But if there is 5% less energy then the economy as a whole has to take a 5% haircut. However, the Fed knows this and that is why they are printing, even beyond what they are allowed to do under law. They are buying debt that is not government backed. They could pump the markets up to any level they wish, now that they've thrown down the gauntlet and thrown the rule of law out the window. So they can inflate GDP to whatever level they wish. But in the end the average person will end up paying more for a loaf of bread and a tank of gas than they can afford. The Fed cannot print barrels of oil. So the real economy will contract, but inflated dollars will push up corporate earnings, and that will push up the markets. It's the perfect scheme, and the only ones who get screwed are the poor and they're too stupid to figure it out. So in a sick and twisted way, this is social darwinism at work.

Greenspan, Bailouts and Fed Policy

It sounds like the author is pretty close to accepting the dark truths. They took over the treasury in 1913. Caused a depression in 1929. Bought up all the gold in 1933 (for a mere pittance). They killed Kennedy when he got in their way. They staged the Gulf of Tonkin to drag us into a war whose ONLY purpose was to inflate the currency and get us to consume as much of our resources as quickly as possible. Then they created voodoo economics and used the television mind control devices to sell it to the people. This allowed us to enter a period of ostensible prosperity when in reality only the elites were really getting richer. And of course the orwellian mind control box constantly told us that all the deficit spending was completely normal and acceptable. And now, here we are. Up the creek, blindfolded, without a paddle…. And slowly realizing that the sound we’re hearing is the sound of an approaching waterfall.

I think any geopolitically awake person today would agree with what I just wrote.

But why did they do all of this? Here is my one-sentence answer: To get us to consume the world's resources, so that the elite feudal lords can return the serfs to their proper place.

Oil and coal and natural gas were the poor's ultimate weapons against tyranny. As long as we had some level of control over those resources, tyranny didnt have much of a chance to thrive. But just look at history. Any time resources begin to deplete, tyranny always comes in to fill in the gap. That's why the US spends a trillion a year on "defense". For the sole purpose of bringing to an end "the age of oil" so that they can resume their thrones of power. Democracy stands no chance of survival in an era of declining resources. The US resource base has been in decline for 35 years now. And that is why what we have doesnt resemble democracy anymore. People may think it does, but that doesnt mean anything. Most of those same people also think they're going to be raptured into heaven. Maybe they will, but that is irrelevant here on earth.

Catching the Next Bubble

We never even recovered from the tech bubble. The housing bubble is totally different from the tech bubble, in both magnitude and duration. Yet this turkey thinks he knows when the alternative energy bubble is going to peak? LOL.
