Criminal manipulation by JPMorgan Chase

Via gata.org:

GATA Director Adrian Douglas was contacted by a whistleblower by the name of Andrew Maguire. Maguire is a metals trader in London. He has been told first-hand by traders working for JPMorganChase that JPMorganChase manipulates the precious metals markets, and they have bragged to how they make money doing so.

In November 2009 Maguire contacted the CFTC enforcement division to report this criminal activity. He described in detail the way JPMorgan Chase signals to the market its intention to take down the precious metals. Traders recognize these signals and make money shorting the metals alongside JPM. Maguire explained how there are routine market manipulations at the time of option expiry, non-farm payroll data releases, and COMEX contract rollover, as well as ad-hoc events.

This is the same company that was bailed out with $30 billion stolen from you.

Retro Greenspan and Buffett on inflation

“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.” — Alan Greenspan

“It makes no difference to a widow with her savings in a 5 percent passbook account whether she pays 100 percent income tax on her interest income during a period of zero inflation or pays no income tax during years of 5 percent inflation. Either way, she is ‘taxed’ in a manner that leaves her no real income whatsoever. Any money she spends comes right out of capital. She would find outrageous a 100 percent income tax but doesn’t seem to notice that 5 percent inflation is the economic equivalent.” — Warren Buffett “How Inflation Swindles the Investor,” Fortune, May, 1977

Ironically Greenspan was directly responsible for inflation while serving as Fed chairman and Buffett now advocates, and profits from, inflationary bailouts.

When to drop gold and enter stocks

Or, when to exit hard assets and enter paper assets again. Hopefully you got out of paper a few years ago.

Peter Schiff says the Dow/Gold ratio will be 1. The trend indicates that it may be 5. I am going with 3, which puts gold around $1,500/oz and the Dow around 5,000. Give or take.

When either gold hits 1,500 or the Dow hits 5k, I am reversing course. And will have made a very handsome profit.

Private Bank for Only Silver and Gold Currencies

Via press release:

In a stunning development, the Free & Independent People of Lakota announced today the introduction of the world’s first non-reserve, non-fractional bank that accepts only silver and gold currencies for deposit.

[...]

“We invite people of any creed, faith or heritage to unite in an effort to reclaim control of wealth. It is our hope that other tribal nations and American citizens recognize the importance of silver and gold as currency and decide to mirror our system of honest trade.” Mani, also known as Duane Martin Sr, is a member of the delegation that declared Lakota independence on December 17th, 2007.

Looks like the Indians have given up on the government’s corrupt counterfeiting scheme and are taking matters into their own hands. Good for them.

Economic collapse: important upcoming dates

The engineers of the economic collapse aren’t finished with you yet. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done to scare you into agreeing to more outright theft of your sovereignty, freedom and wealth.

The first milestones have been reached. As Congress was warned in March, the economic collapse gained steam in September – right on schedule. The federal government has successfully created over $3 trillion, with MUCH more to come, in order to ensure the coming hyper-inflationary nail in the coffin. With that, they managed to nationalize banks and insurance companies and rescued other incompetent partners-in-crime on Wall Street and it is only beginning.

Now for what is coming next:

• It was predicted at the end of October that the U.S. Dollar would collapse within 30 days.
• The dollar collapse will be accelerated by a COMEX default beginning on November 28th. More on what this will look like here.
• Colin Powell has warned of a “crisis” that will happen on January 21st or 22nd, 2009. It remains to be seen whether this staged event will be financial in nature.
• The U.S. government is expected to go bankrupt/default in February 2009.

Make no mistake, none of this is happening by accident. Nor is it happening as a result of “bad” policy, not enough regulation etc. On the contrary, what is unfolding has been planned for decades.

Preposterous you say? Read this, this, this and this.

Stocks will likely rally next week. Don’t let it fool you.

Good luck.
