By The Doc: The Doc sat down with the Golden Jackass himself Monday for an exclusive and SHOCKING MUST LISTEN interview!
The Golden Jackass makes the SHOCKING claim that perhaps 60,000 tons of allocated, segregated gold have been improperly used by the cartel to settle Asian margin calls!
He states that we will see $5,000/oz gold not from quantitative easing or the public entering the bull market, but from the cartel banks replacing what they improperly used in their leveraged games from allocated gold accounts!
Willie also informed The Doc that it appears that Morgan Stanley was used by the cartel to prevent a collapse in treasury bonds in 2010, and believes that Morgan Stanley was set up at the time by cartel banks as the next major financial firm to fail. He states that there are no buyers for treasury bonds, and that the only demand for treasuries are interest rate swaps creating false, artificial demand, and that these IR swaps were what caused the 10 year rally & ‘flight to safety’ in 2010.
Doc’s exclusive interview with Jim Willie is a full half-hour of The Golden Jackass in perhaps his most shocking and explosive interview ever! (Part 2)
Jim Willie began the interview by discussing market rumors regarding troubles at Morgan Stanley:
One of my source’s father is a fund manager at Morgan Stanley. The word that I have heard is that ‘everything is going to hell.’
Morgan Stanley has big problems with their liquidity and insolvency. They are having problems with antiquated software from Smith-Barney era. He said that there are many long-standing veterans at Morgan Stanley who are SELLING ALL OF THEIR STOCK BECAUSE THE VETERANS EXPECT MORGAN STANLEY TO BE THE NEXT LEHMAN BROTHERS AND TO FAIL SOON!
Morgan Stanley is one of the largest brokerage houses in the US. Several years ago they merged with Dean Witter. They also merged with Smith-Barney. If you take their 7,500 brokers, and 200 accounts per broker, that’s 3.5 million accounts.
We’ve had MFGlobal erupt last Oct 31st. PFGBest collapsed earlier this summer. We’ve had a court ruling from the Sentinel management fun- a case from 2007- the court actually ruled that since they couldn’t prove malicious intent and motive to deceive and to steal, all those segregated private accounts have indeed been lost, and there’s nothing illegal about the action.
We’ve got all these cases where the courts are basically saying Doc that private accounts, even if they’re segregated, in brokerage firms can vanish. The billboard is very clear. Private accounts, even though segregated, CAN BE STOLEN!
The courts are saying these accounts aren’t segregated and should not be first in line, even though they are segregated!
The Doc asked whether the rehypothecation issues could escalate from futures accounts to brokerage accounts and deposit accounts:
That’s where I think we are going. There is a chain of priority- it’s like an upside down pyramid. The most risky brokerage accounts are futures accounts. We’ve seen futures accounts lost with MF Global and PFG. They have stolen segregated accounts. Next in the chain is private segregated stock accounts.
Unless and until the public sees private segregated stock accounts vanish at a giant conglomerate firm like Morgan Stanley, they will not wake up!
No one is protesting against these big banks for stealing from these segregated futures accounts. It’s because they’re futures accounts! The point is they’re segregated private accounts, and in bankruptcy law they are 1st in line during bankruptcies!!
This is very big, and I expect we’re going to see a jump into private brokerage accounts. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be Merrill Lynch, it looks like it could be Morgan Stanley. If a brokerage firm like Morgan Stanley goes to dust and customers have no access to their accounts, I’m expecting some of the private segregated accounts are going to go missing.
That’s how the public wakes up.
The Golden Jackass states that the cartel used Morgan Stanley to control the 10 year rate in 2010 using $8 Trillion in interest rate swaps and that MS is being set up as the next firm to fail by Goldman and JPM:
If you look at the office of the comptroller of the currency, you will see reports issued quarterly. In late 2010, these OCC reports on the derivatives showed that the big 4 banks were loaded with derivatives, but one stuck out- Morgan Stanley.
Morgan Stanley put on $8 TRILLION in interest rate swaps in the first half of 2010. I call them the designated hitter for Wall St. Why wasn’t it JP Morgan, BOA, or Goldman Sachs? My theory is simple: THEY EXPECTED LATER TO KILL MORGAN STANLEY! Lehman Brothers was killed because they had huge mortgage bonds and other things that weren’t exactly desirable. Bear Stearns was killed because they were pro gold and short the dollar.
Morgan Stanley created the false impression of a flight to safety in US treasury bonds. Take a look at the 10 year yield early in 2010. It was moving up to the 3.5% range! Alarm bells were going off! They were talking about QE and bond monetization by the Fed! China was backing out of buying treasury bonds! We had more supply, and less demand, and a rising 10 year yield. Suddenly we had a tremendous ‘flight to safety’. What a bunch of propaganda!
The OCC report’s report which reveals Morgan Stanley’s activity of $8 trillion in interest rate swaps, during the exact 6 month period that the 10 year yield went from 3.5% to 2%!
This made history! They called it a flight to safety! This during a period of growing debt and shrinking buyers!
I believe Morgan Stanley was set up as the next Wall Street firm to fail!
When this all happens, it’s going to get ugly, and it’s going to get uncontrollable! Like the Tower of Babel, the interest rate swaps tower is destabilizing, and it becomes more unstable whenever the 10 year makes a sharp move. The 10 year recently dropped below 1.4%, and has now spiked back to 1.7%. The 10 year’s move from 1.7% to 2.4% early in 2012 was the real cause of JP Morgan’s ICD9 losses which JPM blamed on bad European derivatives bets.
The bank’s entire system is to support the treasury bonds using the artificial demand of interest rate swaps! There is no actual buyer at all! It’s not the Chinese, it’s not the Japanese, it’s not the Russians, it’s not the Koreans, there are no buyers!
The only demand for treasuries are interest rate swaps creating false, artificial demand, and the IR swaps are what have caused the 10 year rallies and the ‘flight to safety’!
My sources tell me an entity from the East has sabotaged JP Morgan’s IR swap machinery. It will break and will not stop in it’s deterioration until it’s completely broken. It’s not stoppable! It’s coming apart at the seams!
The European government bonds are showing that they’re broken by going to 7%.
The US bonds are showing they’re broken by going to 1.5%!
Jim Willie also made the astonishing claim that the cartel has used 60,000 metric tons of allocated investors’ gold to satisfy margin calls from eastern interests:
I call it the Great Paper Solution Delusion. I was asked recently if the large banks are naked short gold, why don’t they just print some money and make the margin call go away? I stated it’s not that simple, their margin calls aren’t fixable by cash.
My friend asked, why not, all margin calls are fixable by cash! I replied then why are they off market?
These cases involve banks that must come up with gold to get out of margin calls in off-market transactions!
The banks have off-market transactions. Why are they off-market? If they’re just standard French gov’t bonds or Spanish bonds or short gold futures, why are they off-market?
My best gold source told me that since Feb 29th, 5,000 metric tons of gold have left NY and London banks and have been shipped East. This was in early July. 5,000 metric tons of gold were lost from the cartel banks: I’m talking Royal Bank of Scotland, JP Morgan, Barclays, Citi, BOA, Goldman Sachs. They’re losing their gold!
I kept asking my source, why do they need physical gold to settle their contracts! He said, it’s the nature of the contracts.
These are not standard contracts. When I asked who the counter-parties were, he responded the same entities in the East that have had the gold shipped to them.
What on earth is going on? Why can cash not settle margin calls? What is the nature of these off-market transactions? Why can only gold be used to satisfy the margin call?
My conclusion is that these cartel banks have improperly used ALLOCATED gold , and the Eastern entity is pissed off! The Eastern entity has the opportunity with their margin calls for the replacement of their improperly accessed gold from allocated segregated accounts.
It cannot be satisfied with cash because the original margin was placed with allocated gold improperly!
This contact of mine has updated this figure now that we’re into September, it’s up to 6,000 metric tons! 6,000 metric tons of gold have moved East, and I’m deducing that it’s largely allocated gold because cash could not be used to settle the margin call! The fact that it’s off-market, and only gold can satisfy it means that gold was used in the setting of the margin!
If they want their gold back, I’m suspecting that it’s allocated accounts!
My same source says that the LIBOR situation opens the door for lawyers and investigators to go in and examine the banks’ books during the discovery period, and as that happens, they’re getting access to other information.
The biggest scandal coming is not LIBOR, but the improper usage of allocated gold accounts. If 6,000 tons from allocated accounts have been sent East to satisfy margin calls, it’s JUST THE BEGINNING!
The same source informed me in 2010 that over 20,000 tons of allocated gold have been improperly used! In 2011 he informed me that the total had risen to 40,000 tons of allocated gold that have been improperly used from allocated, segregated accounts! Now he’s telling me that perhaps 60,000 tons of allocated, segregated gold have been improperly used!
The Doc replied that if the cartel is using allocated gold to settle margin calls they are likely using silver as well:
Jim Willie: Absolutely, there’s a tremendous amount of allocated silver gone. What makes silver more acutely a problem is that the above ground supplies have been depleted for 3-4 years. The major 6 billion ounce silver stockpile that Teddy Roosevelt ordered back in 1910 that was used by both the military and the US Mint was depleted in 2006 or 2007.
If you look at the annual output you’ll see that silver production is in decline. I see big problems with steady ongoing output declines going forward.
Jim Sinclair has been predicting $10,000/oz gold based on money printing. Based on the fact that you can’t expand the money supply without seeing the price of gold go up hand and hand! It’s a function of how much new money they’re pumping into the system.
If it’s 40,000 tons of allocated gold have been used improperly by the cartel banks. If the event comes that the cartel has to replace that under pressure of prosecution or worse, if some of the banksters disappear thanks to the Eastern enforcer, the Eastern coalition may force the cartel banks to replace their gold.
I believe we will see $5,000/oz gold not from the public entering the market, but I believe we will see $5,000/oz gold from the cartel banks replacing what they improperly used in their leveraged games from allocated gold accounts. We will get to high prices in gold from bankers replacing the gold that they improperly took from allocated accounts so that they avoid jail time. I’m talking about 40,000 tones- that is an order of magnitude larger than the coming public purchases.

No CB Solutions: Liquidity vs Insolvency
Jim Willie: The
Hippocratic Oath dictates never to do harm to the patient. The central
bankers instead take the Hypocritical Oath that dictates to cripple the
patient, to drain the blood, to preserve power by tightening the straps,
to erode buying power from hard work, and to render life savings a weak
shell, while whispering lies in the ears on blame for what went badly
wrong, against the background din of endorsed war themes. The
effectiveness of the latter oath is seen in the systemic failure of the
USEconomy, whose financial and economic structure has been destroyed by
bad economic policy, the poor paper financial foundation from the
monetary system, corrupt bond market practices marred by $trillion
frauds, and a marriage between the state and sanctioned large
corporations whose only efficiency is seen in dark corners protected by
criminal impunity. The Fascist Business Model showed itself in bold
terms in the 1990 decade, in the strengthened links between state and
major corporations, where inefficiency, favoritism, and corruption
produce the bitter fruit of a sclerotic financial structure and weakened
body economic. The Gold price responds to the systemic failure of the
ruinous financial and economic policy, aggravated by the devoted
ghoulish doctors and their perverse solutions that neither fix anything
nor attempt to apply remedy.
The
Jackson Hole conference was another gathering of losers, stuck in
apologist mode to explain their vast ongoing enduring failure.
It has become an empty echo to the Davos Forum. This year, after two
years of the drastic treatment reliant upon bond monetization
(Quantitative Easing), the display revealed more vividly than in the
past the gaggle of losers gone fishing. The Bernanke speech said nothing
of substance, nothing. He is out of ideas, out of tools, out of
credibility, holding a ruined balance sheet which will not be restored.
The latest Bernanke stupidism is the continued bond monetization until a
certain threshold of economic growth (GDP) is reached. These
loser bankers do not even attempt legitimate solutions, choosing
instead their usual fare to work toward power preservation whose schemes
are marred by yet more paper mache covering of toxic sores. The
financial markets look to clues on QE when it never ended, and thus its
participants appear truly clueless. They appeal beseechingly like
emaciated hound dogs seeking small food scraps from the fat bankers who
never miss a $200 lunch, the tab always paid by the starving serfs and
vassals that peer through the windows. In past years the Jackass was
eager to hear the buzz from the conference, looking for choice morsels
to indicate future direction. This year, a walk around the block to look
at blossoms from the vibrant flora has been brought more satisfaction.
Even EuroCB chief witch doctor Draghi decided not to attend the
conference, perhaps unwilling to be tarnished by a broad inept banker
brush, or to find himself impaled by a fishing hook.
The
banker losers will continue to ply their trade, to print more money and
avoid the Gold Standard. They will find ways to justify more propping
of the giant insolvent banks, whose business model has been wrecked,
whose balance sheets have been wrecked, whose executives live large
despite the wreckage. The dangerous dastardly desperate concoctions with
hidden derivative platforms and cables erected by the big banks in the
1990 and 2000 decades bought them more time, but did not avert the
mutually assured destruction. The central bankers have no solutions. The
Gold price responds to the systemic failure of the ruinous financial
and economic policy, aggravated by the devoted ghoulish doctors and
their perverse solutions that neither fix anything nor attempt to apply
remedy.
MONETARY POLICY GONE ABSURD
Discussion
of growth targets has turned absurd, since the recession is
accelerating in speed. Discussion of bond buying shell game specifics
has turned absurd, since the USFed has been buyer of over 80% of USGovt
debt since 2010 during a foreign buyer strike. Discussion of inflation
considerations and the ordinary deceptions has turned absurd, since the
CPI has been over 7% or 8% for years on end. Discussion
of the stimulative effects of 0% has turned absurd, since it is a giant
wet blanket that shrinks profits and kills capital through retirement
of equipment in unprofitable business enterprise. Current monetary
policy assures a greater and faster economic decline, where GDP minimum
limits will not be reached. Discussion of the benefits of more
printed money has turned absurd, as the nation slowly becomes wise to
the sham and counterfeit to wealth. If dispensed money is not earned,
the hangover arrives the next year or next decade, whose tab is due now.
Discussion of the urgently needed spending restrictions imposed upon
the USCongress has turned absurd, since they are deadlocked and should
be disbanded as an ineffective temple of beggars to banks and industry,
whose main function has been to raise funds and win the next election.
Discussion that relies upon keywords laced throughout commentary has
turned absurd, since the entire vocabulary has suffered from propaganda
in a vast dumbing down of the American people. The national hive is in
its sunset and twilight phase, long past the point of remedy, due to two
decades of ransacking the asset base and capital base. The nation no longer comprehends the basic concepts of capitalism.
Instead it embraces socialism and carries out fascism against a
constant drumbeat of war, which even features appearances of military
symbols at signature sporting events. The Gold price responds to the
systemic failure of the ruinous financial and economic policy,
aggravated by the devoted ghoulish doctors and their perverse solutions
that neither fix anything nor attempt to apply remedy.
The
Euro Central Bank has announced its own vapid stupid pointless monetary
policy to enforce a cap on sovereign bonds. The absurdity runs parallel
with the inept US counterpart. The
USFed will buy bonds until an economic growth level is attained, never
to be attained. The EuroCB will buy bonds to prevent the sovereign bond
yields from reaching a dangerous level, which will always be pressured.
No bond market can claim legitimacy when an imposed limit is enforced
on bond yields. Harken back to the USFed buying TIPS bonds, like icing
down the thermometer that measures fever levels.
The
failure is stark and clear. Monetary policy has gone amok. They have no
solutions, so they press harder in the same reckless direction. What
the world is witnessing is the official institutionalized ruin of
sovereign bond markets in the United States and Europe, which serve as
foundations for the USDollar and Euro currencies. Both currencies are doomed to the dustbin of history, all in time. Central
bankers have lost all credibility, cornered without options in a public
way. Central banker appear writhing flailing wiggling as they apologize
for lack of solutions, while their integrity vanishes like an oily mist
off an overused printing press. Central banks are presiding over
wrecked bond markets, wrecked currency markets, and a divergence gold
market (paper versus physical). They are at the helm of giant vessels,
which are sinking from their own ordered liquidity measures, taking on
water, unable to negotiate around icebergs.
NO SOLUTIONS PURSUED
No
solutions are being pursued by the central bankers, their partners at
the giant banks, and their subordinate henchmen that occupy key
government posts. The path to remedy is not complicated. Liquidations
must provide the foundation of solutions, not amplified liquidity. The
broken structures cannot be puffed up. Rather they must be dissolved,
something abhorrent to the ruling elite. No viable solutions are being
pursued, only preservation of the power structure at all costs. Any
valid meaningful legitimate remedy must begin with six important
planks. My Jackass planks are simple. Nobody can deny a constructive
theme to my harshly critical analysis. None of the six planks will be
introduced, since all interfere, even collide, with the priorities of
the syndicate. No options remain except valid solutions, which are becoming obvious. The following are the Jackass Planks to Valid Recovery.
1) liquidate the big US banks
2) liquidate the US housing market
3) return factories to US shores
4) reform the tax structure to lower corporate tax and to encourage factory return
5) end the wars to secure oil and narcotics supply
6) re-impose the Gold Standard.
They must liquidate the big banks,
since they are insolvent entities that cannot function as either credit
engines to the economy nor capital investment nurseries in which to
nurture new formation of businesses. The big banks are vast
constructions configured to speculate like casinos, loaded with
structural cable lines long ago broken, designed to support the system,
to compensate for past errors, and to cover their giant cracks and holes
in supporting platforms. In 2006, the Jackass had a basic epiphany. The
big banks would never be liquidated, since they control the power of
the USGovt, especially after the key events in September 2001 when the
control levers changed hands more formally to Wall Street firms.
Leaders rarely ever relinquish power, especially when the corruption is
deeply engrained. The entire liquidation process would let go of power
in obvious ways, but it would also open the door for revelations of past
criminal activity whose prosecution could not be prevented or
controlled. The keys to the tainted kingdom remain part and parcel in
the form of control of the USDollar printing press and USTreasury Bond
complex. The breakdown of the Bretton Woods Gold Accord had a motive, to
create new independent control of the USDollar printing press. It was
coveted. It has been exploited. It will be preserved and defended at all
costs, even if with wider war. The Gold price responds to the refusal
to liquidate the big banks and the horrendous effects imposed on the
USEconomy from a criminal zombie banking system impaired to serve as
credit locomotives. The contaminated circulatory system will spread the
cancer.
They must liquidate the housing inventory,
both held by the big banks and by Fannie Mae vat under the USGovt
aegis. No market ever recovers without clearing the inventory in an
orderly process. This required step cannot be done either. The obvious
outcome would be a housing market where home prices would plunge to 30%
to 40% lower. The crippling effect to the USEconomy could set off a
chain reaction where even lower prices could arrive, far below
construction prices, long thought to serve as price floor. See Nevada
and other locations, where home prices have been 25% to 35% below
construction prices for over two years, in order to smash that thin
veneer masquerading as theory. A relentless flood of inventory directed
by the big banks would result in a yearlong nightmare. Their REO
inventory of unsold homes seized by foreclosure is much larger than
widely regarded or estimated, like 8 to 10 million homes. They use
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the entire Federal Housing Admin channels
to conceal the size of the problem.
A
much bigger motive obstructs the liquidation, a deep criminality lodged
in Fannie Mae itself. It has served for 20 years as the clearing house
for federal fraud rings, often called the Role Programs. Not the least
of criminal deeds was the theft from Fannie funds by presidents between
1988 and 2000 to the tune of $1.5 trillion, well documented by Catherine
Fitts as auditor. Many records were lost in Oklahoma City during
another mysterious event. Her work resulted in banishment and attempted
murders via arsenic poison. She still kicks sand, but in more subtle
manner. The liquidation of the housing market would expose a much
broader fraud streak in the mortgage bonds, where bond fraud and
counterfeit worked side by side. The practice of using one home's income
stream from monthly payments in multiple bonds securitized to that
stream would be exposed. The MERS title database has already been
exposed in prima facie, but its deeper exposure would show the titles
devoted to multiple mortgage bonds in obvious ways not desired by the
bankers who designed the clever tool for speed and fraud efficiency. The
Powers in office do not want a full disclosure of the vast Fannie Mae
corruption that laces across two dozen federal offices and agencies. The
Powers do not wish to expose much worse mortgage bond fraud, which
might tempt millions of home owners to stop making monthly payments
altogether. The Gold price responds to the refusal to liquidate the
housing market and the horrendous effects imposed on the USEconomy from
an archipelago of shell households impaired to participate. The long
enduring consumerism chapter is coming to an end finally, as the home
ATM card has been taken away.
They must bring back US factories from Asia.
From the 1980 decade to a climax in the 2000 decade, the factories went
eastward to find roots in Asia, all across Asia from Korea and Japan to
Taiwan to Hong Kong to Singapore to Malaysia to Thailand, then lastly
to China. The motive was simple, the lower cost labor, but also to avoid
the union pressures on cost. The underlying factors are less simple.
The trend of outsourcing industry to Asia stands as the most serious and
lethal factor in the degradation of the USEconomy, manifested in the
decline in real income, the growth of debt, and the newfound dependence
upon asset inflation within the entire national system. By dispatching,
forfeiting, and relocating factories to Asia, the USEconomy lost its
core in legitimate income.
The
deceased Kurt Richebacher in private conversations with the Jackass in
August 2003 mentioned the key to survival of any economy. It must
produce its own steel (for structures) and vehicles (for
transportation). The US for two to three decades has not done either.
The steel mills that have survived in small scale, given the name
mini-mills. The car industry is dominated by Asia and Europe. The truck
industry remains solid, although the components are often Asian and the
small trucks are Asian. The point by the elder economic statesman was
that industry must be domestically produced, with domestic income from
production, in order for a domestic economy to flourish. The seminal event took place in 1984 for Intel, when it announcing a move of its production facilities to the Pacific Rim. It
came as a shock, when at the time the Jackass was a viable peg in a
marketing research outfit at Digital Equipment Corp in Maynard
Massachusetts, the site of numerous wonderful memories. The following
decades saw an army of high tech firms relocate manufacturing sites in
the Pacific Rim. The Jackass had DEC mfg site clients in Hong Kong,
Taiwan, and Singapore, as well as Clonmel and Galway Ireland, with near
weekly contact from the engineering staffs who implemented a quality
control procedure. The Jackass creation became an engineering
specification that saved DEC $70 to $80 million per year companywide,
due to 28 sites that used it. Enough digression.
The
offshoring and outsourcing trend continued in the 1990 decade, as
almost every high tech and PC firm used Asian factories. For instance,
the Apple i-Pods, i-Phones, i-Pads, and other products are manufactured
for Apple by Foxconn, a Taiwan-based company. The firm's official name
is Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. The Apple family of products are
mostly manufactured in Shenzen China. However, Foxconn maintains
factories in countries across the world including Thailand, Malaysia,
the Czech Republic, South Korea, Singapore, and the Philippines. This is
an American success story that does not involve value added by US
workers, only US investors in the wildly successful stock. The Apple
story is indicative as to the distortions within the USEconomy.
Unless
and until much of the vast array of factories is returned to US shores,
the USEconomy cannot recover. The nation needs the income. The
experiment to rely upon the financial sector remains one of the greatest
deceptions and tragedies to hit the nation. Legitimate income from work
to add value in the building of things has been abandoned, except in
the housing industry where it went completely insane in support of a
grand destructive bubble. Imagine any sensible rational clear thinking
economist in the 1960 or 1970 decade actually suggesting that the
USEconomy should send its manufacturing base to Asia, then rely upon the
rising prices of housing market assets for the consumption within the
nation. The concept would be laughed out of any Economics Dept faculty
gathering, in particular any defense of an indefensible doctoral thesis.
That is what America did in a grand travesty. But it had many factors
at work.
The
USEconomy desperately requires the return of jobs from the factories
sent to Asia. The nation clamors for job growth, but seems ignorant in
an absurd display that the source of jobs is the same factories sent to
China after 1999. The USEconomy urgently requires the legitimate income
from industry. It is a glaring missing piece to any solution. Instead
the drain of capital continues, which had its most spectacular display
in the home equity extraction of funds to continue and perpetuate the
consumer mentality of the nation, until the foreclosures hit critical
levels. The households burned their furniture in a sense in order to
keep spending, often on silly things like boats but also on essentials
like education. The Gold price responds to the refusal to return value
added industry and the horrendous effects imposed on the USEconomy from
an entire system grossly dependent upon bad sources of funds. It
continues to extract funds from assets, whether home equity or stock
accounts or pension funds or business assets, or even government
handouts. In fact, those handouts have come in a hidden sinister form,
from tax rebates, clunker car rebates, home purchase rebates, or other
absurd inept programs.
INSOLVENCY VERSUS LIQUIDITY
The
battle for the minds of Americans continues in perverse fashion. The
central bankers realize they fight engrained problems of insolvency with
tools designed to provide vast liquidity. Imagine giving a steak &
potatoes dinner with a side of cherry pie and a glass of milk chaser to a
man who is dying of thirst. It has not worked. It does not work. It
will not work. In their conferences, they struggle to justify the
continued application of extreme liquidity treatment like utter morons,
although increasingly recognized as futile. The
newest wrinkle in the mad professor scheme is the continue bond
purchase to reach a minimum GDP, given minimal details by Bernanke.
The Jackass insists that his PhD degree be revoked, as he has proven in
his five years as USFed Chairman that liquidity does not provide remedy
to an insolvent system today, nor did it provide the basis for remedy to
emerge from the Great Depression. Instead, as contradictory thesis to
the vapid treatise that supports his PhD degree in revisionist history
style, it was the Gold Standard that permitted emergence from the Great
Depression. The absent standard nowadays makes impossible any recovery
today, since the new money is like spinning the gears in a broken
locomotive that heads over the cliff. The Gold Standard would enforce
traction, along with industry long ago forfeited to Asia. The nation
neither has sound money nor factory income. The artificially cheap money
helps business to expand their overseas operations, which has been
seen.
The twisted irony of the new gambit, more like a new plank in the propaganda platform, is that the continued ZIRP monetary policy assures a continued decline in the USEconomy.
The stuck 0% interest rate attacks capital, increases costs, hurts
profit margins, neglects savers, and slows economy, a grand wet blanket
prescription for hyper monetary inflation as official policy in a
veritable cyclone. The immediate effect of artificially cheap money is
to increase investment in commodities as a hedge from the hyper
inflation policy itself. The rising cost structure reduces profit
margins. The affected business segments, whether entire businesses or
elements to a corporate structure, must shut down, which retires capital
equipment, cuts jobs, and discontinues income streams for the company
and workers alike. Amazingly, the inept bungling maladroit collection of
US economists are blind to this basic phenomenon of capital
destruction. Greenspan was aware of it though. They were badly
edumacated to be sure, taught by professors receiving grants and
subsidies from the US Federal Reserve itself.
A
vicious cycle has been institutionalized, dictated by ZIRP, the zero
percent interest rate policy. The hapless clueless wayward USFed has
decreed that bond monetization will continue until the USEconomy grows
above some empty-headed decreed level. This is death by decree by a
myopic professor whose doctoral degree is losing stock with each passing
month of no recovery. If the 0% rate assured a slow erosion of capital,
then the overall economy will continue to decline in large part from
the artificially low interest rate. The effect of ZIRP is to guarantee a
systemic failure if extended indefinitely, like it is now. Blame can be
placed upon Europe, but in reality they are committing the same
cardinal sin to price money as the United States and England. The universal culprit is central bank policy and the 0% mantra.
It does not stimulate. It smothers capital and entire economies. The
tragedy is that the nation, led by its devious bankers, no longer
comprehends capitalism. Or else, their power goes at odds with
capitalism since it is built upon fascism. The Gold price responds to
the installation of hyper monetary inflation engines, the extreme
dependence upon them, their amplified usage after previous failures in
their application, and the absent comprehension of the extreme
detrimental effect on capital. As Weimar features are kept in place, the
Gold price will eventually be released when the funnels of printed
money spew more freely into the system. As the big banks and central banks exhaust their supply of widget plugs
(short-term USTBills, commercial paper, money market funds), the flow
of new money will enter the Main Street economy. That time draws near.
PROGRESSION IN VULNERABLE PRIVATE ACCOUNTS
A Pearl Harbor event is coming. It is near. It can be smelled. To the alert and adept, it can be foreseen. Morgan Stanley has been the designated hitter on Interest Rate Swaps, taking on over 95% of the interest rate management risk by Wall Street banks.
Their role appears to have set them up to fail, another Lehman-like
black hole to exploit, their failure used to consolidate the last
survivors of Wall Street, and to reveal the real power centers in
JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. The great awakening for the American public,
in all likelihood in Western Europe also, will be the failure of major
sprawling financial firms. Morgan Stanley will not fail alone. They will
be joined, according to my best European banker source, by Deutsche
Bank in Germany and by Credit Agricole in France. Expect more failures
in London city.
A
progression of private account vanishing acts is at work. The most
vulnerable have been the futures brokerage accounts. Although private
and segregated, these accounts were pilfered by MFGlobal and Peregrine
Financial Group (PFG-Best). The US Appellate court sanctioned the
private account pilferage with its blessing. Despite bankruptcy law
being clear that private segregated accounts are last in line for
dissolution, the courts permitted the brokerage houses to be treated as
big financial firms instead, the private accounts rifled and stolen, put
first in line for losses. They were not segregated, as stipulated by
law. The US financial laws are being violated in ripe stark fashion,
more climax bitter fruit of the Fascist Business Model tree and its
ghoulish gardeners.
A
Pearl Harbor is event coming, deemed inexorable, which will overcome
the media empty messages that lacking warning. The US public population
will not awaken unless and until hundreds of thousand of private
accounts are stolen. The word RE-HYPOTHECATED has been added to the
financial lexicon to replace the word STOLEN in clever style. Do not be
fooled. Ordinary citizens cannot use their employer's offices and
equipment as collateral in loans for second homes, children college
tuition, private yachts, or swimming pools. That would be declared
illegal. A home foreclosure would result in attached re-hypothecated
losses to corporate office buildings and scores of computers and network
devices. The thought is absurd and lunatic. But that is what happened
with MFGlobal and PFG-Best.
An
error was made in my last public article. If Morgan Stanley has over 17
thousand brokers at work, and they have an industry average of 200
private stock accounts per broker, the result is 3.5 million private
accounts (not 350k accounts). The possible vanishing act in the wake of a
Morgan Stanley failure and bankruptcy could lead to over 200 thousand,
or 300 thousand, or 400 thousand private accounts going missing. You
see, Wall Street needs your money. They are broke and desperate, given
license to steal private accounts. The theft progression
will be seen from private futures brokerage accounts, to private stock
brokerage accounts, to private bank accounts and private certificates of
deposit at banks. Credit unions will probably escape the damage, since
privately administered and very conservative. Like with the progression
of attacks on junk bonds, then mortgage bonds, then municipal bonds,
then corporate bonds, finally sovereign government bonds, the losses
appear according to ranked risks. The vanishing of several hundred
thousand private stock accounts, that include 401k and IRA and Keough
accounts, will awaken the US population. It is not desired, but like
next autumn's hurricane, it can be both expected and forecasted.
MEGA-MESSAGES ON THE WALL
- Bankers know they are finished, and are cutting deals to avoid prison
- JPMorgan is losing control of the USTBond & Interest Rate Swap structures
- Every year another $1+ trillion in greater USGovt debt, more impossible to control
- Control structures are breaking down in accelerated fashion
- Anti-US$ campaign is unstoppable with trade partners worldwide signing accords
- An entire non-US$ system for trade is ready for installation, awaiting the collapse
- Some strange unexpected curve balls are coming, like the Fall of the Saudi regime
- A suspended Petro-Dollar defacto standard will cripple the USDollar
- Little comprehension that financial crises began with Bretton Woods and Vietnam War
- The destructive Fascist Business Model is in its final chapter, the climax
- Lost concept of US Constitution and clear language of Gold & Silver
- A major bank scandal is brewing, from illegal usage of Allocated Gold accounts.
GOLD & SILVER FIND RENEWED VIGOR
All
hail August and September, the months to kick precious metals into
gear. The year's bottom was seen in May around the $1550/oz level. The
upward movement began at end July and early August. The momentum picked
up in late August, and has gained additional vigor in early September.
Rumors of a weakened JPMorgan monster have yet to come to light, or be
seen in the gold price from their relaxed heavy hand. No limit of naked
shorting gold futures is being enforced. The criminality of the currency
regime is complete, total, and profound. However, the daily chart shows
some new life in a rather impressive reversal in progress. It has much
more to run. The $1700 level should be breached very soon with
confidence. There might be no looking back. The ruined banks, the ruined
sovereign bonds, the ruinous wars, the struggles with mine output, the
splendid citizen demand, it all adds up to aggravated price structures
pointing to higher prices. See the daily price pattern.
The
constant hyper monetary inflation applied by the USFed, the EuroCB, the
Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, and the Swiss National Bank, it
adds up to aggravated price structures pointing to higher prices. The
cracking global trade payment system, the frequent anti-US$ workarounds,
and the eventual fall of the Petro-Dollar standard, it adds up to
aggravated price structures pointing to higher prices. At hand is the
end of a yearlong consolidation in price. Keep foremost in the mind that
no solutions are being pursued. Many are cited, but they are mere ruses
in an endless charade to preserve power. The banks control the USGovt,
and the privilege to control the US Printing Pre$$ should never be lost
sight of. Asian buyers are back, helping to build the floor in May,
June, and July. Watch the current breakout, in an early phase. Tests of
the $1780 level, if successful, will attract a lot of attention. The
magnificent debasement and ruin of money is a committed path. As the
elite preserve power, they must endure a massive upward thrust in gold.
To be sure, Gold will respond, Silver also. By the time the Allocated
Gold account banker scandal hits, the Gold price will have significant
momentum to fly past $2000 and head to $5000. All in time.
