I was recently rereading Machiavelli and he said, when you acquire lands where the prince is unpopular you come as a redeemer. When you acquire lands where the price is popular you extinguish his bloodline. These things are the products of the hands behind the curtains and the powers behind the throne.
Now to the hands behind the curtains and the powers behind the throne George W. Bush was a very successful President. He cut taxes for the rich and created wars of (…)

Marc Faber and Peter Schiff on the U.S. Bond Bubble
THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2010
One of the things I strive to do as an investor is to stand apart from the herd. By understanding human psychology, which basically explains bubbles and panics, removing myself from the herd becomes a lot easier.
There is a monumental bond bubble brewing that is incorrectly being justified as fundamentally sound (much in the way inflated home prices were 4 years ago). I just don’t see the risk/reward being in (…) -

There are a great many differences between Ben Bernanke and myself other than that he has a good paying job with all the perks and benefits. He judges the economy by the reports he reads say and I judge it by what I see and hear. He reads his reports of economic performance while I merely look out the window.
“The U.S. economy remains “weak” and “fragile” and has a “significant” chance of falling back into a recession, Harvard University economics professor Martin (…) -

Alan Simpson broke the cardinal rule in Washington; he said what he really thought. Turn about is fair play so here’s what I really think. His comments come as no surprise to Barack Obama. Simpson wants to gut Social Security and Barack Obama has hired Simpson to do his dirty work. A plan to rob from the elderly the disabled and the needy of their little bit of dignity to pay the debts for the wealthy, the careless and the warmongers. It is a crime beneath human (…) -

Citi Says QE2 Would Be End-Game For The USD
These are not the hyperbolic ramblings of various fringe blogs who have been claiming this for over a year, these are the non-hyperbolic ruminations of Steven Englander, until recently head FX strategist at Barclays, and recently at Citi:"A second round of QE will likely put sharp downward pressure on the USD, to some degree versus the euro and other G10 currencies, with potential for a broader USD sell-off. Foreign investors are likely to view (…) -

Without Internet access writing becomes harder and harder to do. It’s about a four-mile hike to the library up hill both ways because of the mid-nineties heat. Sometimes I feel as if I’m losing it and then sometimes I feel like I’m only beginning to get it. I made the hike the other day to check my E-mail and to reconnect with the world.
I arrived about nine in the morning and was greeted by a sign, which said, “New Wednesday hours One to Eight P.M.” My first thought (…) -

Where to Is the Financial Crisis Drifting?
by Professor Dr Eberhard Hamer
According to the presentation in the media, the focus of the financial crisis seems to have shifted from the U.S .to Europe. Everyone is talking about the Greek and the Euro crisis. The input is getting to be ever more hectic and ever more short-sighted. Science seems clueless, in any case it does not give any convincing orientation. Financial policy decision-makers and the agents of the financial markets react (…) -

Ellen Brown, August 18th, 2010 http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/homeowners.php
Over 62 million mortgages are now held in the name of MERS, an electronic recording system devised by and for the convenience of the mortgage industry. A California bankruptcy court, following landmark cases in other jurisdictions, recently held that this electronic shortcut makes it impossible for banks to establish their ownership of (…)
