Month: November 2010

The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without.

Every man’s life ends the same way.  It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

There is nothing to writing.  All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
– All Quotes by Ernest Hemingway

The Biggest Trade of My Life

If all goes according to plan the next time you hear from me I will be settled in my new home of Boulder, Colorado.  This is a huge move for me as I have essentially spent my entire life aside from college and a semester in Spain living in NYC.  When I resigned from my prior job in January of this year I didn’t know what to expect.  I was taking a huge risk walking away from a very comfortable life and income.  Nevertheless, I knew that stage in my life had run its course and it was time to open my life up to other possibilities.  More than anything else I wanted to see how I would feel and what would happen if I just let all the things that were tying me down fall away and experience total personal freedom in every way imaginable.  What has happened is that I have just lived the most fulfilling year of my entire life.

An end to “banking as we know it” is fine with us.  The “banking” in today’s Western economies is simply a monopoly-distribution point for the dissemination of fiat currency.  Central banks have got to distribute money through banks because the alternative – simply distributing it to people – would reveal the scam for what it is.  By filtering the money-printed-from-nothing through banks, the process retains a mysterious quality.  It is also rendered more complex, which is necessary when one is promoting a Ponzi scheme.  Finally, bank distribution allows for a debt add-on that further controls the process.  The situation is incredibly destructive, ruinous and benefits, essentially, on a very people who are the most direct beneficiaries of central bank funding stream.

The Giant Cover Up
Much has been written about QE2, too much really.  However, today I want to take a step back and look at it from another angle.  QE2, or the latest round  of Federal Reserve quantitative easing is in all reality just a move of extreme desperation by what Max Keiser appropriately calls “financial terrorists” to cover up the recent coup d’etat of what was left of America’s wealth by special interests across the spectrum from politicians themselves, the military industrial complex and crucially the big Wall Street firms that gamble with taxpayers money all the while calling themselves banks.  At the center of the theft is and continues to be the Federal Reserve.  Using the financial collapse of 2008 as a smoke screen, the totally bankrupt large Wall Street firms using their puppet ex Goldman Sachs CEO and then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson sufficiently scared our politicians to give them unlimited sums of money, suspend accounting for their bad assets and then go right back to gambling again and paying huge bonuses all the while never accounting for their assets at market value.  The hope from the perspective of the Federal Reserve has been that by pumping virtually unlimited amounts of newly printed money into the banking system (which is what quantitative easing is) they could create another fake Keynesian economic boom that would get people back to work and back to sleep again.  Housing prices would start rising again and none would be the wiser until the system collapsed again a few years later (which it would be guaranteed to do) but then it would be much too late to stop it.

Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back.
– Sir Josiah Stamp, former President, Bank of England

Dr. Bernanke unfortunately does not understand economics, he does not understand currencies, he does not understand finance.  All he understands is printing money.

Let Them Eat Mud Pie
The monetary and financial system that we are enslaved under at the current moment in human history has recently transformed itself into one of the most immoral and destructive forces the world has ever seen.  The reason many citizens in America cannot see the extent of it at this time is because the Federal Reserve in coordination with Washington D.C. and the money center banks are doing everything in their power to keep you blind and complacent while they rob you blind.  Many of the people in these institutions are not cognizant of the theft they are engaging in as they are either useful idiots or so wrapped up in their ego and false belief that they are making the paycheck they are based on some useful skill rather than simply working at the institutions that are instrumental in carrying out the ponzi scheme.  You see, at the highest levels the elite must understand that the U.S. is flat broke; however, an admission of this would mean loss of power and possibly criminal prosecution.  As a result, they have zero, I mean ZERO interest in the outcome for the general public and will do “whatever it takes” to quote Ben Bernanke to cover up their economically fatal mistakes and keep the mirage alive.  As I mentioned above, there are two main segments that are crucial to keeping the ponzi scheme going, Washington D.C. and the big money center banks.   This is why the Federal Reserve is quite purposefully directing all of the new money they are creating out of thin air into these two already bloated and corrupt cancers on the American landscape.
