A blissful wonderful start of the day!

How about some fantastic news to pick you up in the morning?

Venezuela, which holds 211 tons of its 365 tons of gold reserves in U.S., European, Canadian and Swiss institutions, will progressively return the bars to the central bank’s vault, the fatty dictator Hugo Chavez have said. This may seem like a harmless move, but considering JP Morgan sits on lots of that gold and that the entire staff of MaoBama comes from banking cartels I can see another war brewing. Brother Oduma actually doesn’t want to attack his obese friend, but if wall street and the money masters say jump the pick-pocket in chief will start jumping up and down until he collapses.

Paul Krugman – another failure of the Nobel committee - has now not only made the vague suggestion that another war could potentially be good for the economy, but has now taken a step into the absurd, by suggesting that what we really need is an alien invasion. Apparently in the mind of this absolute nutcase an Alien invasion would let us print and borrow money at such levels that the recession would be no more. And if we add in all the greatness that comes with billions of dead, millions of cities destroyed and our newfound caveman state – we could rebuild and rejoice that the economy is back on track again. How they even let this idiot out on the stage is beyond cartoonish, but there actually are people who listen to this warmongering maniac, so watch out...

China Daily, which is a pretty influential party propaganda machine, have called for China to use its financial strength and its ownership of trillions of dollars to force U.S. to stop selling weaponry to Taiwan. Yes, because that will end well...

I could go on, but why not steal a list from another blogger instead? I wonder how many bloggers and economists with education not found in a cornflake package it takes before people finally wake up? Well, in the meanwhile you can read this list which I stole from here.


20 Signs That The World Could Be Headed For An Economic Apocalypse In 2012

#1 Back in 2008 we saw major rioting around the world due to soaring food prices, and now global food prices are on the rise again. Global food prices in July were 33 percent higher than they were one year ago. Price increases for staples such as maize (up 84 percent), sugar (up 62 percent) and wheat (up 55 percent) are absolutely devastating poverty-stricken communities all over the planet. For example, one expert is warning that 800,000 children living in the Horn of Africa could die during this current famine.

#2 The producer price index in the U.S. has increased at an annual rate of at least 7.0% for the last three months in a row. We are starting to see huge price increases all over the place. For example, Starbucks recently jacked up the price of a bag of coffee by 17 percent. If inflation keeps accelerating like this we could be facing some very serious problems by the time 2012 rolls around.

#3 The U.S. "Misery Index" (unemployment plus inflation) recently hit a 28 year high and many believe that it is going to go much, much higher.

#4 Jared Bernstein, the former chief economist for Vice President Joe Biden, says that the unemployment rate in this country will not go below 8% before the 2012 election. In fact, Bernstein says that "the most optimistic forecast would be for about eight-and-a-half percent."

#5 Working class jobs in the United States continue to disappear at an alarming rate. Back in 1967, 97 percent of men with a high school degree between the ages of 30 and 50 had jobs. Today, that figure is 76 percent.

#6 There are all kinds of indications that U.S. economic growth is about to slow down even further. For example, pre-orders for Christmas toys from China are way down this year.

#7 One recent survey found that 9 out of 10 U.S. workers do not expect their wages to keep up with the rising cost of basics such as food and gasoline over the next year.

#8 U.S. consumer confidence is now at its lowest level in 30 years.

#9 Today, an all-time record 45.8 million Americans are on food stamps. It is almost inconceivable that the largest economy on earth could have so many people dependent on the government for food.

#10 As the economy crumbles, we are also witnessing the fabric of society beginning to come apart. The recent flash mob crimes that we are starting to see all over America are just one example of this.

#11 Some desperate Americans are already stealing anything that they can get their hands on. For example, according to the American Kennel Club, dog thefts are up 32 percent this year.

#12 Small businesses all over the United States are having a really difficult time getting loans right now. Perhaps if the Federal Reserve was not paying banks not to make loans things would be different.

#13 The U.S. national debt is like a giant boulder that our economy must constantly carry around on its back, and it is growing by billions of dollars every single day. Right now the debt of the federal government is $14,592,242,215,641.90. It has gone up by nearly 4 trillion dollars since Barack Obama took office. S&P has already stripped the U.S. of its AAA credit rating, and more downgrades are certain to come if the U.S. does not get its act together.

#14 Tensions between the United States and China are rising again. A new opinion piece on chinadaily.com is calling for the Chinese government to use its holdings of U.S. debt as a "financial weapon" against the United States if the U.S. follows through with a plan to sell more arms to Taiwan. The U.S. and China are the two biggest economies in the world, so any trouble between them would mean economic trouble for the rest of the globe as well.

#15 Most state and local governments in the U.S. are deep in debt and flat broke. Many of them are slashing jobs at a feverish pace. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, state and local governments have eliminated more than half a million jobs since August 2008. UBS Investment Research is projecting that state and local governments in the U.S. will cut 450,000 more jobs by the end of 2012. How those jobs will be replaced is anyone's guess.

#16 The U.S. dollar continues to get weaker and weaker. This is renewing calls for a new global currency to be created to replace the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world.

#17 The European sovereign debt crisis continues to get worse. Countries like Portugal, Italy and Greece are on the verge of an economic apocalypse. All of the financial problems in Europe are even beginning to affect the core European nations. For example, German industrial production declined by 1.1% in June. There are all kinds of signs that the economy of Europe is slowing down and is heading for a recession. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are proposing that a new "economic government" for Europe be set up to oversee this debt crisis, but nothing that the Europeans have tried so far has done much to solve things.

#18 The Federal Reserve is so desperate to bring some sort of stability to financial markets that it has stated that it will likely keep interest rates near zero all the way until mid-2013. The Federal Reserve is operating in "panic mode" almost constantly now and they are almost out of ammunition. So what is going to happen when the real trouble starts?

#19 Central banks around the world certainly seem to be preparing for something. According to the World Gold Council, central banks around the globe purchased more gold during the first half of 2011 than they did all of last year.

#20 Often perception very much influences reality. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that it is likely that another great Depression will begin within the next 12 months. If people expect that a depression is coming and they quit spending money that actually increases the chance that an economic downturn will occur.

There is already a tremendous amount of economic pain on the streets of America, but unfortunately it looks like things may get even worse in 2012.

The once great economic machine that was handed down to us by our forefathers is falling to pieces all around us and we are in debt up to our eyeballs. The consequences of our bad economic decisions are hurting some of the most vulnerable members of our society the most.

Ron Paul – now an actual contender!

... Ron Paul you said..?


I posted a couple of days ago my outtake on the U.S. presidential election and the main candidates for the presidency. In that post I said that Ron Paul probably would beat MaoBama, but would never get the nomination.

I think I actually spoke too soon.

Of course the Media keep ignoring and keep trying to push Ron Paul aside, or making him out to be a nutty professor who´s unelectable. It’s starting to backfire.

I´ve seen plenty of pretty hardcore democrats saying on their blogs, on Youtube and on Facebook that they are now paying attention to Mr Paul and are actually considering supporting him. And as usual Ron Paul supporters are out commanding the internet and so drumming out the message that here´s the only real believer in freedom and that the elitist sphere is afraid – and media have, unintentionally, poured gasoline unto this fire.

Just look at this clip from the Tonight Show:



Or this one:



Even if the people reading and hearing about and starting to take notice who Ron Paul is and what he stands for don´t agree with his politics, they are so tired of the Statues Que, so tired of the power-hungry Washington elite that when media do things like this they may just vote Paul out of spite and to actually get some real change and a real politician not flip-flopping at every turn.

Georgi W-chimp actually promoted himself as a peaceful president in liege with the constitution before his first term. And the Obamination would bring home the troops, he would obey the constitution, there would be no tax increases and the torture at Guantanamo would stop. He went back on EVERY. SINGLE. PROMISE. Only the ObamaCare screw-up sort of become reality, but that to was a compromise and a watered out suggestion in the end.

With Ron Paul you know what you get. He´s never faltered, never flip-flopped, never voted against the constitution, never voted for any war. He has a track record going back decades of standing up for his beliefs and never making deals.

This will resonate very well with many American voters, once the word gets out - and Media just handed the Ron Paul campaign a golden goose!




This is going to be highly interesting. One of the last hopes for the U.S. of A. - and also the world - has taken a huge step towards an actual nomination which I thought would be impossible just days ago.

I wish I could go over and help out on the campaign trail and give all my cash to this true hero of the people. Sadly I cannot, but I hope that I at least can help out bringing more attention to this guy.
