Jacob G. Hornberger: MORE DARK SIDE FROM THE EMPIRE

http://fff.org/2013/06/28/more-dark-side-from-the-empire/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=more-dark-side-from-the-empire

During the Snowden controversy, the American people have been treated to a harsh dose of reality as to the true nature of the U.S. welfare-warfare state. The crisis has caused the U.S. welfare-warfare state to drop its mantle of “good and benevolent” and to bare its iron fangs for all the world to see. Threats, blackmail, bribery, and extortion. It hasn’t been pretty.
Consider, for example, U.S. foreign aid. From the time they are six years old, Americans are inculcated with the notion that the U.S. government is a good and benevolent government, one that caringly and compassionately shares the wealth of American taxpayers with the people of the world.
But what Americans haven’t been taught is that the welfare state is nothing more than a velvet glove enveloping the iron fist of the warfare state. The Snowden controversy is showing people the reality of U.S. foreign aid and trade policy.
U.S. foreign aid and trade policies have nothing to do with wanting to help “the poor, needy, and disadvantaged” of the world. Instead, they are simply means of controlling and manipulating foreign regimes. They are another way to maintain and expand the hegemony of the U.S. government over the world.
“Do as we say, and we will do good things for you. Refuse to do as we say, and we will do bad things to you.” That’s the reality of the U.S. welfare-warfare state.

Gold Should Bottom Today – Temporarily

Posted on  by 
NYGFOR-D.jpg 6-28-2013
As we have stated, Friday was the target day for this week. Gold fell so far to 1179.4 about $20 above the first support zone. A 3 day reaction into next week should develop before resuming any decline.

Propaganda – Who do you Trust

Bernays
The father of propaganda is Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995). The government tries to imprison and kill anyone who leaks information about what they do from illegal war murders, illegal seizing of all our phone calls and emails, or to the latest leak about US cyber-attacks. It is not even just the USA. Britain has imprisoned more of its soldiers than are serving in Afghanistan. Government does not respect the people and never has. It is a propaganda agenda at all times. They know they are losing the grip and so Homeland Security buys tanks for domestic use against citizens who start to see the truth – this is the Truman Show – its is all just fake.
Crash & Burn

The government just pretends to prosecute the NY banks civilly, handing out small fines and they do not admit or deny anything and move to the next manipulation. Not a single banker was charged with the Mortgage Crisis even after forging mortgages and lying about everything. Nothing will ever be done to protect society and our financial system. Get real. No amount of letter writing will ever do anything. We have to crash and burn. That is the only way things historically change.

Can u tell the difference

We do not have real democracies – they are republics. Vote for them, and they lie about their agendas. They make fools out of the religious right making them think they will be victorious over abortion and gay rights while there is no difference in anything that really matters. Look up Obama and what he said on the NSA and Cuba about Bush. It was a joke. He has done the same thing. It is all propaganda to tells us what we WANT to hear and what they determine we SHOULD hear. The press will NEVER report what will get them in trouble. Ain’t gona happen in the USA. That is why it took the Guardian in the UK to print Snowden’s story. Do you really thinkANY US news organization would have taken that job? When Judith Miller of the New York Times was thrown in prison on contempt of court until she gave up her sources, the Free Press died that day. They control everything. That is why they hate me and the internet. My difference with the goldbugs is you do not pretend to be an adviser and NEVER say sell, but when you are wrong, out come the tin-foil hats and the claims of conspiracy. Hey. They were still wrong. So do not expect the mainstream press to ever quote anyone who is not in the fold.

Manipulating the World

Forex - Yes
QUESTION:
Mr, Armstrong.
I visited New York on business and after the market closed yesterday we went to a bar. I was shocked when the group at the next table of Wall Streeters were talking about you. The consensus was you were probably the greatest analyst that ever existed and how the Bloomberg News will never quote you because you tell the truth about their clients the bankers. Yet they said everyone reads you. They said China does whatever you say and stopped buying bonds from the New York bankers within a matter of days of you writing advising that everyone should refuse to buy bonds from them. They said you were the only analyst who said gold peaked and would decline and how not a single newspaper will report you were right. Why does there seem to be this attribution of manipulating the world attached to you? I heard it first hand. If anyone did not read you, they said they were a fool and the New York Press has done everything possible to try to discourage people from reading you.
Curious
RM
ANSWER: People judge others by themselves. It was the CFTC that originally accused me of manipulating the world and put it in a subpoena demanding all our offices around the world give them a list of all our clients so they could prove we manipulated the entire world economy. We won in court telling the judge that was absurd and suitable for the plot in some James Bond movie. But the more you refuse to cooperate and just hand-over client names, they more they think you are hiding something rather than defending a principle.
The CFTC saw I ran around the globe and our audiences were about 25,000 annually. They then attributed that if I said gold would rise say 10% next year and it did, then the reason was simply that all 25,000 people ran out and did as I said and therefore I circumvented their trading limits of say 5,000 ounces of gold because I was “indirectly” controlling the market. This theory caught on and morphed into one of just influence. Because they publish nonsense and ever move a market makes they attempt to attribute a reason, then their idea is that “influence” can make the trend. That is so wrong because if I came out and said buy gold, there might be a brief blip, but nobody can change a trend. The Japanese government tried to support the market and lost more than $1 trillion. You can create blips, but nobody can turn a bear market into a bull market with just words.
WitchDoctor

These people live in a primitive world where witch-doctors still chant and are never wrong. If he bleeds you because he thinks there is a poison in your blood and he takes too much, that cannot be the reason you died, it must be that he did not bleed you soon enough. We live in a very primitive state of economic theory. They would rather blame me for having too much influence than to listen to what I am saying.
Milton
I became friends with Milton Friedman because he saw what I was doing objectively and said I had a front row seat no one else had. I could see how the world functioned NOT because of influence, but because of OBSERVATION. These people treat me as if I were a doctor, told you that you have some fatal disease, and you will be dead in 30 days. They then accuse me or murder because you would not have died except for the fact I said you would. This is the mindset of these people and there is no explaining they live in a state of assuming the world is still flat. It will take my death before these types of people at last will dispassionately review what I have been saying based upon OBSERVATION.
Gold-bug

The goldbugs loved me when I said gold was rising. When I said we had a 2 to 3 year decline, they then act the same way. TheyREFUSE to quote me assuming like the CFTC gold declined ONLY because I said so. They are as intellectually honest as government – no different. They think the same way. Shut me up and gold will rise. They live in a fake world where they think if the keep screaming gold will rise perpetually. They then create perpetual enemies arguing there is some systemic plot to keep gold down when a simple correlation study shows gold has risen on par with commodities in proportional basket basis. Gold CANNOT rally until the dollar rally is over. Look around – everything is connected and the world is far from flat.
wizard-of-oz-BehindTheCurtain
(1) Pull back the curtain and look at how the bankers control government and are destroying civilization all because they are addicted to trading with other people;s money pocketing the profits and handing losses to politicians to pay for.
Martin Armstrong Capital Flows
(2) Having clients around the world molded and beat me into the shape and form I am today. It forced me to see the world through everyone’s eyes realizing that Adam Smith was correct – we all act only in our self-interest. We are one giant economy and the sooner we recognize that, the sooner we will have economic freedom and personal liberty restored. No single government can manipulate even its domestic economy. STOP the socialist intervention and allow the people to create their own future rather than attempt to orchestrate it to meet your dreams.


Thatcher was Right

Martin Armstrong introduced Margaret Thatcher 1996
Margaret Thatcher was a Euro-Skeptic from the start. Her own cabinet abandoned her and pushed her out of politics because she was against joining the Euro concept. She maintain it was an economic union, not a political one. Now even Merkel is beginning to pull back. The idea of Europe has always been the federalization into a single country. Why? There has been a socialistic-Marxist view that to justify that economic theory, they created the vision of utopia – the land of perfect harmony where war would be vanquished forever by blending everyone into a single country.
Martin Armstrong & Thatcher
My discussions on this subject with Lady Thatcher revealed the dark sinister agenda behind the curtain in Europe. This was really a political agenda that was never spoken of and in fact publicly denied. What we see in the Euro currently is the complete failure of the political agenda no matter how much they deny this has been the agenda. Authorizing the reestablishment of borders demonstrates that the socialists have totally screwed up Europe and if anything, they have laid the foundation for two things – (1) internal war, and (2) weakened the entire defense system of Europe to the point that if Russia was to act on its Empire Dreams, it could take Europe in 7 days.
Martin Armstrong - Margaret Thatcher
I did see the film Iron Lady. While I did not appreciate how she was portrayed in that film, to some extent they did show how she was forced out of office by her own people who were caught up in the whole Euro nonsense. She was a woman with whom I share a passion for understanding the political nature of systems. I use to stop by to see her on trips to London. She possessed truly a brilliant mind, but was often misunderstood. Her idea of imposing a poll tax was to actually limit taxation for she felt that if everyone pay some tax, then they would restrain government eliminating the socialist agenda go get them so I get more for free.

India Raises Tariffs on Gold to Try to Stop Dollar Rise

Posted on  by 
India Reserve Banks 1

The Rupee has fallen sharply against the US dollar as volatility rises. The current account deficit jumped largely because India’s gold purchases rose from 90 tons to 300 tons as the price collapsed. But this led to India imposing more tariffs on the important of gold stopping the buying and contributing to the collapse in gold prices. The goldbugs still are yelling about manipulations and paper gold sales, but the largest cash buying is having a massive impact upon the currency. It does not matter that they are buying an asset that can be resold compared to importing consumer goods.
$INDIA-M 6-27-2013
The US dollar is in a bull market that may last until October 2015.The max target would be 68.5 rupee up from the current level of about 59. Short-term, we are lining up with the ECM target for the week of 8/05.

Dow Jones – To Be or Not to Be

Posted on  by 
DJIND-D 6-27-2013
We wrote on June 20th:
“The Daily Bearish Reversals are 14670 and 14392 with the Weekly Bearish at 14390 and 14360/ The key support starts with the Monthly Bearish at 13139 and 12940, with the critical support at the Monthly Bearish at 12220.”
DJFOR-D 6-27-2013
We elected the minor Daily Bearish on the 24th but that was also the directional change. The key support is the 14390 level on both the weekly and daily. That is the vital area to watch. The rally that has unfolded so far is just a reaction. The Daily Bullish stands at 15363. Watch out for tomorrow as a turning point and then volatility will rise in July.
The dollar is rising rather sharply around the globe. The rise in India has impacted gold sharply and this is putting tremendous pressure on Switzerland where the central bank stands to lose a fortune between gold and the Euro. Meanwhile Europe is starting to move back away from centralized government and nations are legally now allowed to even raise their borders.
ECM-Wave-2011-2020
The dollar rally that is brewing will provide underlying support for the Dow. But it would be good if we can decline into July rather than make new highs. A low with the ECM will increase the chances for a Phase Transition in the Dow going into a major high for 2015.


German Unemployment hits 12%

Posted on  by 
European Sunset
The unemployment in Germany is rising hitting 12%. This in indicating what we have been warning about – European economic growth will turn negative in 2013. Germany turning down marks the confirmation we have been warning that deflation is the major risk not inflation, which is reflected in gold prices. This has impacted the Swiss central bank which has lost a fortune with the decline in gold. Switzerland stands to loss big time for its balance sheet has been full of gold and euros.

Merkel Becoming Euro-Skeptic

Posted on  by 
Merkel-1
Last year, the German chancellor Merkel was calling for “more Europe, not less.” She was behind the idea of federalizing Europe handing more power to Brussels. But as the economy turns down, European Integration is rapidly fading and now even Merkel is bending to the political trend of the rising EU-skeptic movement.

Metals & Phase Transition

Posted on  by 
Phase v Bell
QUESTION: 
Hi Martin,
Thanks for all of your reports, they are very informative. I am an institutional portfolio manager here in Canada. I know you mentioned that the gold correction will go on until all the Bulls have thrown in the towel. I have never been a gold bug. I am only employed to make money for clients. But it is interesting over the past couple of months. All of the gold bugs I know, have completely given up on gold and in particular gold producers. They are actually anti-gold now. I can count on one hand the number of sales calls I have received on anything to do with gold over the last two months. I guess with that long-winded preamble, I was interested to know if a gold cycle has ever ended without entering a phase transition?
Thanks.
Peter
SVNYNF-Y Adusted
ANSWER: NEVER. You require the Phase Transition for it to be a bubble. We have NOT accomplished that in the metals. Gold adjusted for inflation has not exceeded the 1980 high.Here is silver in cash. We also have a double top. This is why I have said that there will be the traditional correction that could be up to 5 years under the worse case scenario pushing the low into 2015. But if that were the case, the 2015 low would be a double bottom with 2013 or a new low that is marginal. Always 90% of the decline unfolds within the first 2 to 3 years. That makes the low now possible or extending into June/July 2014 for the finish.
Keep in mind, this is TIME & PRICE sensitive. Meaning it is not just reaching the target in price, it has to come with the cycle to be meaningful.
