The Fed’s Liquidity Trap: The American and world economies are in a deliberate state of slow collapse

Bob Chapman International Forecaster Almost two years ago the US Treasury was selling large amounts of short-term Treasury bills to fund bailouts and stimulus. That caused a major increase in debt. Most of that paper was 2-year bills and it is coming due for rollover shortly. While that transpires, October will report the annual fiscal deficit of 9/30/10 of about $1.5 trillion, a figure thought impossible just 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. This time around the Treasury will have to depend on the Fed and US banks and institutions to fund this mountain of paper. ...

U.S. Auto Sales May Hit 28-Year Low as Discounts Flop

Bloomberg U.S. auto sales in August probably were the slowest for the month in 28 years as model-year closeout deals failed to entice consumers concerned the economy is worsening and they may lose their jobs. Industrywide deliveries, to be released tomorrow, may have reached an annualized rate of 11.6 million vehicles this month, the average of eight analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the slowest August since 1982, according to researcher Ward’s AutoInfoBank.

When Will We See the Next Mass Murder?

Veterans Today Here’s a news flash for Tel Aviv: it’s not a sign of respect when the bulk of humanity views you as psychopathic. The concerns of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are misplaced. The legitimacy of Israel is no longer threatened. It’s already lost. Long gone. Kaput. Nation states are shared states of mind. The mindset in Iceland differs from India. Israel is the most unlike of all. Founded by extremists and terrorists, it’s been downhill ever since. Psychopaths want to be loved. That’s why they’re so charming, albeit only superficially. They’re also pathological liars, egocentric, callous and ...

Glenn Beck’s Theatre of the Absurd

Keith Johnson Revolt of the Plebs If you want to know the real purpose behind Glenn Beck’s expensive, heavily publicized ‘feel good’ extravaganza, you need only watch the first ten minutes of the speech he delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Dressed up in the NWO color of purple, and clutching purple speech cards in his hand (check out who else is fond of the color purple), Beck took center stage to issue marching orders to the thousands of gullible lemmings that attended his ‘Restoring Honor’ rally this past weekend. Beck warmed up the crowd like any good, charismatic tent preacher would. He opened with, “Something that is beyond man ...

BP Using Gulf Oil Spill Victims As Pawns To Pressure Alabama To Drop Charges

The Intel Hub By Alexander Higgens I recently wrote that the State of Alabama has filed charges against BP and Transocean for covering up the BP Gulf Oil spill and for using dangerous toxic dispersants that have destroyed the environment. Now if we can only get other states to follow suit AND add a few more defendants to the list like the cronies in the Government who are allowing this to happen. WKRG News 5 in Alabama reports that the Attorney General of Alabama has filed charges against BP and Transocean for ...
