"Most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker, but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all." - Michael Rivero

The majority are just trying to fit in, they are scared of being social pariahs.

I was watching the FBI Chief answer the Senator he had no idea in his department who was leading the investigation of the IRS. I burst out in tears of laughter and felt sorry for the taxpayers of whom I belong also.

4 – This means first and foremost that while growth, inflation and unemployment all matter a great deal, the Fed cannot now either allow, or be perceived to allow, the creation of any kind of excessive leverage driven speculative (asset) bubbles which, if they collapse, go on to threaten the financial stability of the US. Imagine if this Fed were to allow a major asset bubble to blow up and then burst anytime soon (say within the next two or three years). This time round Congress and the people of the US would be able to place the entire blame on the Fed – probably with some justification – and, if the fallout approached anything like that seen in 2008, then it would mean, in my view, the end of the Fed as we currently know it.

6 – So for me, ‘tapering’ is going to happen. It will be gentle, it will be well telegraphed, and the key will be to avoid a major shock to the real economy. But the Fed is NOT going to taper because the economy is too strong or because we have sustained core (wage) inflation, or because we have full employment - none of these conditions will be seen for some years to come. Rather, I feel that the Fed is going to taper because it is getting very fearful that it is creating a number of significant and dangerous leverage driven speculative bubbles that could threaten the financial stability of the US. In central bank speak, the Fed has likely come to the point where it feels the costs now outweigh the benefits of more policy.

10 - Crucially I suspect that the Fed will be so conflicted/whip-sawed by, and suitably vague in its response to data that it ends up watering down its tapering message a little too often and a little too much, thus encouraging one or two more rounds of ‘buying the dip’.

But I expect at least one more major buying of the dip come (late) Q3/Q4. I would not be surprised if we saw the S&P not just back up in the high 1600s, but perhaps even a 100 points higher (close to 1800!) before the next major bear market begins.

The Liberals cheer for more big government and more Cultural Marxism forced onto American society.
The first of the year join or gulag bound with these fabian cult idiots. Many will just go dark and watch
it implode. Maybe we make a year or so after that no idea. Go ahead play with your crayons.

A tip from down under: Ausralia is different.... it has Kangaroos and BIG HOLES IN THE GROUND. The rest is just clean open space... like between the ears of those who think nothing of taking a $500,000 Mortgage with 5% down. Our largest miners are Banks who take 25 Billion in profit from 23 million people..... and you think its Cheap... We have high incomes but huge Bills to pay for like.... wait for it..... paying people $4,000 to sucessfully Copulate.... thats right we have to pay a FUCKING BONUS to sluts with no brains to breed with males who have the combined intellegence of that of the brains of a smashed crab.

the Republican Establishment has obviously conceeded the fight and is now trying to attain rank as the top Lap Dog. It's disgusting. If the GOP, and I use that term lossely, thinks the base is just going to take things like socialized healthcare and Amnesty they are going to get a rude awakening when they start begging that same base for campaign money.
My wallet will be closed, let them beg from liberals.

The only Rove you will get is money down the drain.

This type of financing is an accident waiting to happen. The fact is that Bernanke’s money policies have long since crossed over from being something that contributes to economic health and stability, to something that is adding to systemic risks and instability. I suspect that Bernanke is well aware of this fact, so are other members at the FRB. If you’re looking for evidence that Bernanke has pushed the string too far, the KIK deal is all you need to look at.

The Fed has another problem. Oil broke out of the triangle and is heading toward $100.

“Exit from unconventional monetary policy, when needed, may be difficult to manage and less smooth than desirable, possibly leading to sharp rises in bond yields and serious negative consequences for growth in a number of advanced and emerging economies,” Pier Carlo Padoan, OECD’s deputy secretary-general and chief economist, said in the report.

“A leap in U.S. government bond yields would result in capital losses for investors, and prices on other assets would most likely follow suit, with mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds most strongly affected,” the OECD said in its report.

“In comparison with 1994, this could be more disruptive given the current higher leverage in the U.S. economy and financial system.”

@alpha At the beginning of February, the hedge funds had a short position of 6,588 contracts (about 33 million ounces). This was the lowest number since 2010. Hedge funds have increased their short position by almost 5x since then.
Mine supply of silver in 2012 was 787 million ounces, according to the Silver Institute. The short position is thus 20% of annual mine supply.
The largest silver ETF (SLV) has about 321 million ounces of silver in its inventory. So the hedge fund short position in the futures market is almost 50% of SLV's inventory.

I took another small delivery to set up long but we haven't really seen the bad inflation yet some say.
Understand the chart above and you will see it then. Never hurts to take delivery when these animals are beating the
stuffings out of it. In time guys, patience on this. As for july august thought smarter than me see peak august minset
I will not confirm but will walk slowly later into raws since I think some will undestand the warm reboot from the affairs last time
things fell into the core from EM. Discounting the insanity in MENA which if you note and I will maintain simplicity on this context on
what and who will fade this human tragety. God awefull affairs with the bent of minds causing this misery. If I am wrong, we covered it
here anyway. Peace

Your estate is what you own when you die – your home and what’s in it, other real estate you may own, your bank account, annuities and so on. And even if you have a will, your heirs are chopped liver. Low-income people often have only one major asset – the home in which they live and, in some cases, this has been the family home through several generations. So what this boils down to is: If you are put into Medicaid – congratulations – you just got a mandated collateral loan if you use Medicaid benefits at age 55 or older! States keep a running tally.

As do they in two hooded figures the night, but in the dawn a smouldering ruin.

Medicare will typically assert a lien against certain assets, such as your home, so that it can potentially recover some of the money it has paid for your care after you die. If you acquire sufficient assets that you no longer qualify for Medicare, then you would stop receiving those benefits until your assets are spent down to a qualifying level. CRA to get you and ACA to take it back on the dawn of your demise. Nothing is true anymore.

To date is raised bed gardens in the end result for us. Some other escrow sites are slow to be cleaned up also. But overall it is what it is. Offsets.

IMPORTANT: NEGATIVE DIVERGENCES ARE PILING UP

I do not disagree. Given the Political Economy's attributes what vigalante will provoke the trapdoor. Also, I would not disagree on the effects of gradualism pulling it under as undertow effects. I think more people will vote there pocketbook given the inability of the Senate to avert crisis. I seen Timmy get verbally accosted from the same Gentleman who was part of the problem also. If we can keep CPI lazer focused at zero this will be the balance sheet kick that can repair the moral hazzard dilution from pollution from the Leverages which triggered in my opinion there predicated takeover until the Voter who is complicant by percentage as the Cult status of crisis teams to whit to save the day in abject hyprocracy. I still feel inclined this ruse will be the stain FDR needed and endured when the Court was impelled to defend the letter and the circular logic these pragmatic ideological mutants carry's the day on the back of the people. Already the left limply asserts the Independant's are spurious and lacking regard to spite the lucid bent of mind to trade reciprocity and per capita reality. Pragamatic solution's need press no further than the elements of quantity and quality of no gratitudes but balanced policy aborted so very long ago.

As we are today, Republican are Democrats, and if you think not you are a door nail. Just have to see how long the taxpayer can survive. Local is a mangled affair who are less than a hat drop from financial blow out hell.
March 23, 2010. ACA Health Care and Education Reconciliation, and now enhanced seizure Estate Act for some to how in the sam hell are you going to pay for this leviathon since half are the walking financial dead you retards created. Oh, we forgot housing for idiots seminar....

More important thought from a few leaders who know they fought to get home and we care for wifes now widows and grandchildren.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a Vietnam era veteran. The military has done a brilliant job of creating the illusion that it is separate, distinct and unique from the rest of government. It is not. The is absolutely no difference between a soldier and an IRS agent. One is trained to kill and the other to steal. They have marketed themselves as "better" "more patriotic" than the rest of us. But here's a question for those that serve - why aren't you living up to your oath? Those that enlist do so by taking an oath to protect America from all enemies foreign and domestic. To uphold the constitution. Okay, why then does the military permit TSA to grope our wives and children? Why then does the military continually get involved in wars with people that are no threat to America? I am sick and tired of giving the military a pass. The military is an extension of government schooling which tamps down critical thinking skills and teaches compliance. "Well, they are just doing their jobs." Yeah, right. I'm not buying that old refrain.
Personally, I regret ever enlisting and serving. Especially given the fact that those of us who joined were responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. A few months ago I put my honorable discharge and other documents through the shredder because to me there is nothing honorable or noble about serving in the military. I have educated my children about the military industrial complex and actively discouraged them from joining. It is as morally bankrupt as the rest of government.

I served my country for four in the military and I'm not so sure that I agree with the critical thinking comment, however I have seen a trend of late that disturbs me. The space shuttle blew up because of "Go Fever". Disallowance of dissent creates an environment of Go Fever. I think this environment is at least partially responsible for a reaction from a couple of young "traitors" lately. And it might not extend quite to disallowance of dissent. It could just be an environment of "like minds". This happens in Churches and Board Rooms as well. I hope those responsible for decisions on Syria are weighing this.
This country has always been a "centrist" country if you focus on the grass roots majority. The opposing political parties perpetuate this somewhat, but lately they are hard to differentiate at least on some issues. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes this is downright frightening. You may recall historically the "Fascism or Communism" schism in the Germans 80 years ago.
Extreme environments tend to focus both Blind Allegiance and Extreme Dissent. The real irony here is that our troops are fighting extremism abroad. We all should follow their lead and fight it here.

As we know over there some bad people doing some bad things. As we know here some bad people are doing bad things. All we can to shine some
light on some trying and thats all we need. As for GD we can mark the Noske moments and watching the pot coming to boil in areas we take the time
to see.
