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.

Bullion Shortage and Spot Prices Tell Two Different Gold Stories

The above comment strikes me as completely nonsensical. There is a shortage of gold coins because the sellers are taking large losses on them. Why would you replenish your stock when the price is falling, just so you can lose money? Doesnt make sense. That's what makes deflation so devastating in the first place!

Bullion Shortage and Spot Prices Tell Two Different Gold Stories

No one has answered my question. They tried inflation in 2002. They printed 5 trillion dollars into a big bubble. It popped. They cannot print 5 trillion more and hope to fix it. Nothing close to that is going to happen. After 6 months, 1 trillion in new money wont even help the market tread water. Gold will not appreciate in a deflationary environment.

Bullion Shortage and Spot Prices Tell Two Different Gold Stories

The question is, how much of gold is a hedge against inflation, and how much of gold is just another commodity, subject to the same fate as all other commodities over the last few months? What is the percentage, and how do we calculate it? I'm sick of hearing about how the price of paper gold is manipulated. I know that gold is selling off because hedge funds and others are clearing out their positions to lock in profits and offset losses. And I know that many think cash is king right now, and that means selling gold. But I do NOT know how to calculate how high gold will go if say for example the price of corn drops 50%.

Furthermore, we just had a commodity bubble, so it's really hard to see the same bubble happening again.

It seems to me that they tried inflation over the last few years, starting especially in 2002. This is what we got as a result. A bout of inflation, and now an even more overvalued market. Even at 8000 it is overvalued, and now its over 9000 again!

So... now we are either headed to hyperinflation, or DOW @ 1600 and gold @ $90 per ounce.

IF we go the hyperinflation route, then this criminal cabal in washington will surely attempt to confiscate all gold, because we cant have any intelligent people profitting off their engineered destruction, now can we? Heavens no. And maybe that is ultimately why gold is not rising. It is just not a free market, and maybe gold is simply reflecting that fact.

Decoupling Of Physical Gold And Paper Gold Prices

6 months ago at the gas station I heard people talking about buying gold. That was when I knew it was time to sell.

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.
