A pretty good interview covering the wall steet elite and the special interest groups who are pulling the strings and looting the government slush funds.

These guys couldnt be doing a worse job of running the economy if they were conspiring to. I have said they are planning to save the equity holders and speculators at the cost of the dollar, creditors and the middle class and undermining the credit markets is going to help in that.

is Obama turning out to be a bit of a chicken hawk?
 
Its an intersting chart as as Anatole pointed out in the Austrian thread Germany and Japan used fiscal programmes to try and haul themselves out of the 30's depression. The only problem is once you have the arms, there is an awfully big temptation to use them!

Maybe this.

Or if you are going to default on trillions of foreign assets you have to be able to make sure they cant come and get assets in lieu.

Gerald celente's latest missive:



The “Second American Revolution” Has Begun

KINGSTON, NY, 12 August 2009 — The natives are restless.  The third shot of the “Second American Revolution” has been fired.  History is being made.  But just as with the first two shots, the third shot is not being heard.

 

America is seething.  Not since the Civil War has anything like this happened.  But the protests are either being intentionally downplayed or ignorantly misinterpreted. 

 

The first shot was fired on April 15, 2009.  Over 700 anti-tax rallies and “Tea Parties” erupted nationwide.  Rather than acknowledge their significance, the general media either ignored or ridiculed both protests and protestors, playing on“tea bagging” for its sexual innuendo.  

 

Initially President Obama said he was unaware of the tea parties.  The White House later warned they could “mutate” into something “unhealthy.”

 

Shot #2 was fired on the Fourth of July, when throngs of citizens across the nation gathered to again protest “taxation without representation.”  And as before, the demonstrations were brandedright-wing mischief and dismissed.

 

The third volley, fired in early August, was aimed point blank at Senators and House members pitching President Obama’s health care reform package to constituents.   In fiery town hall meetings, enraged citizens shouted down their elected representatives.  It took a strong police presence and/or burly bodyguards to preserve a safe physical space between the politicians and irate townspeople. 

 

The White House and the media have labeled protestors “conservative fringe elements,” or as players in staged events organized by Republican operatives that have been egged on by Fox news and right-wing radio show hosts.  

 

In regard to this latest wave of outbursts, health industry interests opposed to any reform are also being blamed for inciting the public.  But organized or spontaneous is not the issue.  While most protestors exhibit little grasp of the complex 1000 page health care reform document (that nary a legislator has read either), their emotion is clearly real and un-staged.

 

Rightly or wrongly, the legislation is regarded as yet another straw on the already overloaded camel’s back.   A series of gigantic, unpopular government-imposed (but taxpayer-financed) bailouts, buyouts, rescue and stimulus packages have been stuffed down the gullet of Americans.  With no public platform to voice their opposition, options for citizens have been limited to fruitless petitions, e-mails and phone calls to Congress … all fielded by anonymous staff underlings.

 

Now, with Congress in recess and elected representatives less than a stone’s throw away, the public is exploding.  The devil is not in the details of the heath care reform, the devil is the government mandating health care.   Regardless of how the plan is pitched or what is being promised, to the public the legislation is yet another instance of big government taking another piece out of their lives and making them pay for it; again telling them what they can or cannot do.

 

Though in its early stages, the “Second American Revolution” is underway.  Yet, what we forecast will become the most profound political trend of the century – the trend that will change the world – is still invisible to the same experts, authorities and pundits who didn’t see the financial crisis coming until the bottom fell out of the economy. 

 

Trend Forecast: Conditions will continue to deteriorate. The global economy is terminally ill.  The recession is in a brief remission, not the early stages of recovery.  Cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing brought on an economic crisis that cannot be cured by monetary and fiscal policies that promote more cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing.

 

Nevertheless, Washington will continue to intervene, tax and exert control. Protests will escalate and riots will follow.

 

Fourth Shot of the “Second American Revolution”: While there are many wild cards that could light the fuse, The Trends Research Institute forecasts that if the threat of government-forced Swine Flu vaccinations is realized, it will be the fourth shot.  Tens of millions will fight for their right to remain free and unvaccinated.

 

Publisher’s Note:The power of the Internet and new technologies is inexorably fermenting the “Second American Revolution.”  However widespread and emotionally charged, had the tax rallies, tea parties and healthcare reform protests occurred in years past, they might have been covered by the local media, but might not have made national headline news and thus would have died stillborn.  

 

Now, with the ubiquitous camera-equipped cell phone, universal access to YouTube, and millions of twitters and tweets, the uprisings cannot be ignored, contained, managed, spun or edited down.  The revolutionary fervor will prove contagious. 

 

Can anything stop it?  

 

Trend Forecast:Before the momentum of the “Second American Revolution” becomes unstoppable, it could be derailed through some false flag event designed to deceive the public, or a genuine event or crisis capable of rallying the entire nation behind the President.   In a worst-case scenario, according to Trends Research Institute Director, Gerald Celente, “Given the pattern of governments to parlay egregious failures into mega-failures, the classic trend they follow, when all else fails, is to take their nation to war."

 

A false flag attempt, a genuine crisis, or a declaration of war, may slow the momentum of the “Second American Revolution,” but nothing will stop it.

Julian Robertson on the US deficits and the politicians. He even hinted at the possibility of Japan selling the Treasuries but didnt go so far as to say that Russia or another less friendly state could weaponise their Treasuries by selling them.

If there is one policy scandal that is going to make Obama look like a naive and dangerous fool its the global warming scandal and his associated ridiculous policies.
