The recession seems to be socking Americans in the heart as well as the wallet: Marriages have hit an all-time low while pleas for food stamps have reached a record high and the gap between rich and poor has grown to its widest ever.

Two years after the peak of the financial crisis, the federal government swooped in to stabilize a crucial part of the credit-union sector battered by losses on subprime mortgages.  Before this financial crisis is all over, the bill will be in the trillions of dollars for the entire banking system.

GOLD AND SILVER ARE NOT GOING UP, PAPER MONEY IS GOING DOWN.

GOLD AND SILVER ARE JUST MAINTAINING THEIR ASSET VALUES.

So How Did the Bush Tax Cuts Work Out for the Economy?

The 2008 income tax data are now in, so we can assess the fulfillment of the Republican promise that tax cuts would produce widespread prosperity by looking at all the years of the George W. Bush presidency.

the data show overwhelmingly that the Republican-sponsored tax cuts damaged our nation.

DAN NORCINI'S COMMENTS ON THE FOMC REPORT AND GOLD'S REACTION TODAY

QE To Infinity – No Surprise There

Posted: Sep 21 2010     By: Dan Norcini      Post Edited: September 21, 2010 at 5:13 pm
Filed under: Trader Dan Norcini

Dear Friends,
The BIG, “no news” news of today was the release of the FOMC details concerning their view of the economy. At 1:15 PM, CST, the “news” broke that the Fed stands ready to provide further QE should the struggling economy encounter additional headwinds.

Both gold and silver shot up sharply higher and the dollar plummeted below support at the 81 level in the USDX, while the equity markets simultaneously jumped and the bond market surged.

I personally do not know why the reaction was so profound. After all, it is no surprise to any of the readers here at JSMineset that the Fed stands ready to engage in “QE to infinity” as Jim has been saying for longer than I can remember.

If you want to distill the essence of their press release, it is basically as follows:

The economy is flat and while it has not worsened, it is also lagging in key areas, notably employment, business spending and consumer spending. Inflation has all but disappeared freeing us from having the least bit of concern about rising interest rates. Bond speculators are therefore given notice that we will be undertaking additional Treasuries purchases should the need arise so please buy the long bond futures and aid us in our task of keeping a positive interest rate environment for the struggling real estate and housing markets, not to mention helping us keep interest payments on the out of control national debt at “reasonable” levels. We’ll print ‘em (Treasuries) and you buy ‘em. Help us out, please.

Gold was obviously not impressed with the implications of such shenanigans as it broke higher to a new record price notching a print above $1290 in the process. Such a policy is nothing more than a planned debauchery of the national currency. The Dollar imploded particularly against the Australian Dollar which notched a two year high. Even the Japanese yen refused to stay down, much to the dismay of the Japanese monetary authorities who no doubt are already making arrangements for their next foray into the market to beat it back down again.
The problem with all this funny money talk is that quite simply it underscores just how anemic the so-called, “recovery” is and how dependent it is upon the life support system of QE. Even as I pen this brief commentary, the S&P 500 has sunk into negative territory which is telling.
In my earlier comments on gold today I mentioned that we might see a setback from the capping effort at $1285 just like we experienced at the previous resistance level of $1260. For all that we know, that setback might well have already occurred and is now finished. Even the HUI moved back above the 500 level after dropping as low as 489. If it can finish strongly above this level, that would make two consecutive closes above a critical resistance level. Generally, from a technical analysis perspective, that is a bullish chart signal that an upside breakout has been accomplished. We’ll see how it closes today and how it fares tomorrow to get a better clue as to what is next. Overnight action in the gold will be revealing.

Fasten your seat belts – all the Fed has done by today’s announcement is inject more volatility into these already stupidly insane financial markets.

Gold Moves From Currency To Performing Insurance

Gold Moves From Currency To Performing Insurance


Dear Extended Family,
Dinner is finished and the coffee has been served. I am not eating with a few friends, but rather with all of you. What I have been trying to say during dinner was that the time for the consideration of gold as a market entity is over.

Anglo Ashanti has just closed out their $1.58 billion losing hedge book as gold reaches for a new high. They have slaughtered their cash position and increased their debt. That is a milestone in the time sense because it is here and now that gold has moved from a currency to a performing insurance against what is no longer coming down the pike but is now here. Anglo thinks it threw in the towel due to some mathematical decision, a new high, but even the dense ones can feel the change yet they cannot articulate it.

Another milestone is Dean Harry’s discussion concerning lessening the demands of producing masterpieces on a planned schedule. I have known Dean Harry almost my entire career. The thought of not seeing HSL on schedule saddens me because it marks a career long change.
Milestone developments and their implications are rarely recognized except in hindsight. What it means to me along with gold establishing new highs amidst the storm of top calling is that what has for years been a forward looking mainstay of the gold price is no longer mental speculation, but rather reality hiding in plain sight.

It is no longer necessary to go through the logic of why we have done what we have done. Those events are right in front of your nose.

Privacy is history.

Confidence in fiat currency is a memory of a bull market from the 1950s to 2008.

The Western World banking system is broken and will stay that way.

The mountain of financial WMDs (OTC derivatives) grows daily, protected by lobbyists in the employ of finance.

The rule of law is a dark comedy. It is nothing more than legislation containing thousands of pages but no common sense proliferates.

Western World budget deficits are now totally uncontrolled.

Debt is destroying the Western World now.

The USA is building a caste of untouchables in perma-poverty as Asia lifts its population into an enormous and affluent consumer base that can be sustained by trading amongst themselves.

Gold tonight is the difference between being swallowed up by events or being the cause of your own survival in many ways.

Here in Tanzania you need the most recently dated US currency. A 1996 $50 or $100 US note is worthless in exchange for anything. The gray market is discounting these notes by 20%. Right now the reason is primarily the excellent quality of counterfeits being printed by countries not wishing the USA well. Yet here is another milestone that says if you travel often and far, you must have no less than 7 one ounce gold coins in your pocket. Your paper may be worthless.

Your plastic stands on continued functioning technology and the solvency of the credit card company.

If I did not have gold with me, I would have little confidence in getting back on my timed schedule.

All the conjecture is over. The future is today. Those who have done nothing will have nothing.

I will see 30 of you here very soon. Our conversations will be taking place in the African bush around a comfortable campfire with WiFi. That is also a milestone of sorts.

The bill for dinner has been on the table for awhile. The help seems to want to go home.
Goodnight.

Respectfully,
Jim in Dar

How Hyperinflation Will Happen

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/guest-post-how-hyperinflation-will-happen

AS IS FAR TOO COMMON, THIS AUTHOR USES 'A SYMPTOM' OF INFLATION AS THE DEFINITION OF INFLATION.

INFLATION IS THE INCREASE IN THE MONEY SUPPLY

DEFLATION IS THE DECREASE IN THE MONEY SUPPLY

EVERYTHING ELSE IS A SYMPTOM OF INFLATION

'MONETIZING DEBT' IS MERELY BUYING THE DEBT WITH NEWLY PRINTED MONEY
THAT INCREASES THE MONEY SUPPLY.

EVERYTHING THE GUV'MINT, TREASURY, AND FEDERAL RESERVE DOES
INCREASES THE MONEY SUPPLY IN THEIR CRIMINAL EFFORT TO PROP UP
THE SYSTEM THEY CORRUPTED IN THE FIRST PLACE BY PRINTING MONEY
NOT BACKED BY AN UN-COUNTERFEITABLE MEDIUM LIKE GOLD AND SILVER.

TOP SECRET AMERICA: A hidden world, growing beyond control

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/articles/a-hidden-world-growing-beyond-control/

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

"The goal of any organized terrorist attack is to goad a vastly more powerful enemy into an excessive response. And over the past nine years, the United States has blundered into the 9/11 snare with one overreaction after another."

WARNING: NEW TROJAN WORM IN SPAM EMAILS

New "Here You Have" Worm Delivers Unwanted Gift
Global mass mailing worm masquerades as business message
but links to malware, McAfee Labs warns

A new Internet worm dubbed "Here You Have" is streaming into worldwide inboxes, offering a dangerous payload, according to McAfee Labs. The worm, which travels via spam email with the subject line of "Here you have," or "Just for you," masquerades as an email with a link to a video or an attached document file. However, the email actually contains a link to a malicious program that can disable security software and send itself to all the contacts in the recipient's address book.

Corporations around the world were particularly affected by the worm on Thursday as it clogged up their email systems. Consumers could be affected as they go home and log onto their machines. For this reason, McAfee Labs has labeled the worm as a "medium" risk, and warns all computer users to delete any email with the "Here you have," or "Just for you," subject line.

Although the dangerous link has been taken down, neutralizing the threat, it can still spread through remote machines, mapped drives and removable media, Labs warns.

If you have an up-to-date and properly configured McAfee security software product then you are protected against this threat.

The Hook: You receive a spam email with the subject line "Here you have," or "Just for you," and a link or attachment that looks like it leads to a video or document file. It may appear that the email comes from someone you know.

The Methods: The email invites you to click on the link, and once you do it prompts you to download a file. This file is actually malware that disables the security software on your machine and sends itself to everyone listed as a contact in your address book.

The Dangers: Once you are infected, your computer has diminished security protection. Your machine is also being used to spam your friends and contacts. If you are on a corporate network, the network could be clogged as the worm works its way through address books.

Bottom Line: Do not click on the link in any email with the subject header "Here you have," or "Just for you," even if it appears to be from someone you know.

Tips to Avoid Becoming a Victim:

Never click on a link in a spam email or IM from someone you don't know. Be suspicious of strange emails from family or friends: their accounts may have been compromised.

Use comprehensive security software, like McAfee Total Protection™ software, to protect you from viruses, spam, and other Internet threats, and keep the software up-to-date. Save on McAfee Total Protection or try it free for 30 days.

Set your operating system and browser to automatically apply updates.

"Obama’s “end of Iraq war” speech must have shattered any remaining belief in him. Forced to appease both his supporters and the warmonger right-wing, who denounce him as a Muslim and a Marxist, Obama resorted to Orwellian DoubleSpeak. He could only announce an end to the war by praising the president who started it and the troops who fought it. Yet, as most earthlings, if not Americans, surely know by now, the war was based on a lie and on intentional deception. The American troops died for a lie."
