  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Upon Citibank

    It looks like Central Bankers are trying to take over the private sector in the US. After all the Federal Reserve is a Private Corporation. They have absolute control over the economic direction of the US, Europe and the Planet. This is looking uglier and uglier for Capitalism as we know it.

    Central Bankers are your Masters!!!

  • Social Security: Bankrupt System Will Impact Markets Sooner than Expected [View article]
    Captalist Hero is on the mark but where the country is heading most with assets or savings could be wiped out with a stroke of a pen. If there were no institutionalized programs for people, The US would resemble a thrid world nation. Very comfortable people with some merchant classes and poverty levels like India and Bangladesh have seen. Over there in our World there are people who live in Garbage Dumps forriging for food and recyclable items. Remove these programs and we sink back into the 1600's.

    Most Assets of Americans are not that significant. Inflation can wipe all your efforts out in a matter of months! Stimulis Money as I see it has a ruinous effect on savings and assets around the corner.

    Capitalism has failed miserably.

    Free Market Systems are what is under attack here. Globalism can not ensue with the US under a free market system. If you want a free market system you have to attack Central Banking.

  • Two Charged with Ponzi Scheme in California [View article]
    The morals of people are sickening. From Their Church??? I would sentence them to 20 years of assisting homeless people for 8 hours a day, only to return to prison at night. Then 10 years in Prison. And review their motivation to live. If they found their Humility, Which their church failed to do, then return to society to serve. If no humility found then BACK to PRISON. Service is what any job/product/corporatio... is for. Capitalism is a vehicle to create things to assist/serve as we live in this life as matter. I am disgusted.

  • Dollar Shines in a Depression, While China Buys Metals [View article]
    Quite a posting! Thanks for the perspective. I am wondering when Gold will collapse. What will it take for gold prices to start falling. I am expecting at least a 60% decline. Markets always create bag holders. It just can not go up forever.

  • It's Not a Credit Crunch, It's a Deflation [View article]
    I want to comment. We did not hire the Federal Reserve in 1913. European Central Bankers Hi-jacked America's banking and ability to create it's own money. Vreeland and Aldrich both sneakily stuck around capitol hill while the rest of congress went home for Christmas and voted in the Act. It was never ratified and is unconstitutional. Central Bankers had been after Americas wealth since the colonies. They won and America lost. I want the Federal Reserve Act repealed!

    The 1907 panic was manufactured to make a case for a central bank.

    You clearly do not understand the federal reserve act. The Money Masters Video will help you in your lack.

  • Tell Congress 'No' on the Trader Tax [View article]
    I will not sign a petition. I support the tax temporarily. Capitalism has enjoyed less tax for some time now and it was the prescription by the last administration. Under that approach should we not be prosperous today? If you want to solve the Tax Riddle Remove the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Take away the monopoly the Federal Reserve has in printing our Money and give it back to the People. Creating money interest free will send the economy soaring they will need to cool it down due inability to produce enough energy under current energy sources. There is where you sould be petitioning for a return of wealth to the American Public. This is a small tax portion relative to the real tax theft.

    I will not write congress in support of your efforts. I have written many members of congress over the Federal Reserve Act and I will continue to pursue the source or root cause over our debt based economy. Until this is corrected we will have dangerous contractions again and again. You are petitioning about a symptom of the real problem.

  • Why Does Obama Think Stimulus Can Shock Economy Back to Life? [View article]
    It seems that these are efforts towards globalism. the 80's was a time of union busting tearing away at a middle class. 90's efforts were thwarted due a tech boon to the economy, 00's were more of tearing away at middle class. I always said the back of the middle class must be broken before gloablism can move forward. Now, it is the efforts of destroying much of the wealthy. UBS secret accounts are one front there. It is my opinion that each administration gets in and is briefed to what they are allowed to do and then there is the agenda of Central Bankers from Europe to ensure a western dominance globally. Bush set in many of the moves towards globalism on the middle now the Saviour??? Obama will effect change but nothing like any one could have imagined. Bush and Obama are puppets to Central Bankers as I see it. If Republicans want lower taxes to promote growth I say Go all the way and remove the Federal Reserve Act entirely. Remove the Federal Reserve and put Banking or the Creation of Money into the hands of the Public where it belongs. European Central Bankers have hijacked America's wealth and it took less than 100 years to harness and usurp our awesome ability. Central Bankers have an agenda going back Centuries starting the the Semionle Pig Rothschild himself. They are sinister, evil, and responsible for most if not all War on the Western Planet!

  • Why Does Obama Think Stimulus Can Shock Economy Back to Life? [View article]
    Did Obama say the stimulus is to "shock" the market to life? I thought it was to get people employed since our unregulated capitalist model has failed. Sure it may be like a common CEO going for the short term picture but it may prevent further down cycling of job/home loss. Then all the talent of America can work of long term solutions to self gains while they throw the country under the bus.

  • Time to Invest in REITs? [View article]
    REIT's are going to start to show trouble. In California, recently many of the names mentioned and more are going from 96% occupancy to now in upper 80's. Many people are losing their jobs and simply leaving California. In attempts to bring up occupancy levels rents are dropping to attract the few in the market. There is a storm being waged as we speak and the numbers will start to show soon. Many people are living with family again. The days of rising rents are over as I see it. REIT's carefully selected may be a great time to Short!

    Please stop shopping at Wal Mart. I have not bought anything there since 1991 or 1992. They are a huge problem on many levels!
