Using the Internet to Destroy Reputations & Inject False Info
We also know how bad mainstream media is these days in every country. Governments have been threatening and controlling the press for quite some time. Just recently, Russia simply shut down TV stations telling the truth about the Ukraine hiding the level of sheer decadence and corruption that is all over the internet these days (see CNBC; Washington Post; National Post).
However, what has also come out from Snowden that has not gotten a lot of press is how there has been a concerted effort to create disinformationusing the internet by government. I have repeatedly warned that there are two strategies that I have seen since 1980. The first was how the manipulators got the press all hot and bothered to blast the Hunt Brothers over buying silver. They made them so famous that silver was going to $100, the Hunts could not sell a single ounce for everyone was watching them. Sell just one ounce and they assumed the rest would follow.
Then there is the conspiracy theories. I have watched people take it to the extreme making it so ridiculous that it allows the conspiracy to actually exist in plain sight free from exposure because you will be labelled as a conspiracy nut.
Both of these strategies are alive and well and we have to realize that disinformation is a tactic the NSA and others are also using.
US Gold Hoard 1847-1894 Discovered Buried with the Panic of 1893
For centuries, people have been burying money when times get hard. A hoard of US gold coins was found in California with the uncirculated coins dated between 1847-1894. This clear lines up with the Panic of 1893 and the failure of many banks. Throughout ancient times as well as money, stir up the economy and you get civil unrest and the hoard on money that helps create the downtrend and deflation.
Caesar – Beware the Ides of March – Were the Conferences Targeted to this Period?
To all those old clients asking if we picked the timing for the conferences linked to the geopolitical turmoil in Ukraine as we did in 1987 with the Crash and 1985 with the turn of the ECM, the answer is always yes. We use the model to target when the conferences should be most interesting since they are always a two-way street of discussion. After all, it is better to leave with something to remember rather than just a pen.
All the world financial markets are going to pay close attention to these events in Ukraine. Why do I have close ties with Ukraine? Who knows? Perhaps fate always seems to put me in the middle of everything. I seem to have friends in every hot spot since the 1980s.
Nevertheless, while it may not be precisely the Ides of March (15th), it is time shortly thereafter that all markets have been showing up as a unified target period since last summer. This indicates there there is something external causing this to develop. It is clear that the emerging markets are in a serious decline and this INCLUDES the Russian economy. The worse it gets, the greater there is always a need for an external enemy. This comes directly out of our well researched political play-book. It is standard practice and we should neither be shocked nor blame Russia for responding the same way every nation has for the last 6,000 years.
Here are the Arrays for the Euro, Dow, and Gold. Note that they are all targeting panic cycles at the end of March. Therefore, to get this sort of unified coordination implies an external source. This should make these conferences very important and exceptionally timely.
YanukovychLeaks & Russia moves in to protect Crimea
Ukraine may become the big market mover both in the financial and precious metals circles as well as for the dollar. Keeping an eye on what is taking place there is critical at this point. The documents recovered from Yanukovych have been posted on line for the entire world to see (yanukovychleaks.org/). The degree of conflict is great centered on the language. Yanukovych changed the national language whereas legal documents previously in Ukrainian were changed to accept Russian. This was part of the underlying uprising that the Ukrainians felt that their national identity was being usurped. This is why there was such a grass-roots core to this revolution. The Russian take on this is that the Ukrainians are now trying to outlaw Russian spoken by a large portion and mostly in the East. This is part of the reason I state that there MUST be a split to preserve peace. In the West, people are speaking Russian today and in the East many are speaking Ukrainian to demonstrate solidarity. But the political spin goes the other way. At the very least, hold MAJOR elections for each area and let them vote to stay as Ukraine of leave. Crimea is already saying they want to split and Russian soldiers have moved in to protect Russians no different from the USA does in such actions.
The strange thing is Russian soldiers have been moving into places like Yalta. This was posted at 5PM from Ukraine showing two troop carriers known as a “Ural” with Russian licence plates arrived in Yalta. There is an exchange with a man at the gate where he is asked why are Russian soldiers here and the response was he did not know. When he was informer they were from the Press, that ended any conversation.
