Just loved this image – so I thought I would share it with you:
Especially in view of the recent Debt-Ceiling Debacle (and soon to be continued – January 2014 the issue will be right back on the table).
What say you?
There is no way-out of here for the Federal Reserve now.
After so much talk of taper (“Taper-Talk”) the Fed finally didn’t follow-through. Why not? Because they cannot. That should be clear to anyone. There is not surprise here.
This is just talk. Schmoozing…Jive-talk…Rhetoric..Lies?
This is the clearest sign yet that Bernanke’s policies have failed. The rollback decision. He knows what’s coming and does not want to be around when it hits – and thus he is resigning (read – “get the hell out of Dodge!”) at end of year.
It is very, very, very simple to understand:
There is a HUGE problem with this approach – They will either want to stop or be made to stop sometime:
When they stop (or the printing press is taken off them) the interest rates will rise.
The house of cards will fall.

I just gotta share this with you – Jim Sinclair and the RagingGoldenBull himself. What a great honor!
Was in London over the weekend and had the opportunity to talk to Mr. gold himself – Mr Jim Sinclair.
This was part of a closed door London Q&A Session on the very sensitive topics of money and gold and where we are all heading.
The Two Core Messages which rings through loud and clear are:
I hope to elaborate on his message and the other things that were discussed over the coming weeks on this blog, and in my emails (sub make sure your are registered to our newsletter).
Question: Have you started and what are you doing to prepare for the end-game that is currently upon us?
Check out the original here on Mr Sinclairs JSMineset.com (about two thirds down page).

Mr Griffin sites seven reasons why the Federal Reserve System shoul be abolished:
It’s long weighing in at 105 minutes – but Mr Griffin is a master public speaker, a diligent researcher, and above all it is highly entertaining piece that everyone should hear.
And know this – You can watch/listen to this video much quicker than it took Mr Griffin the years of painstaking research, or ever to read his weighty tome as the same (which is a MUST read, btw ;-)).
Split it into two parts if you must, or more, but make sure you understand all that is in this great, great lecture.
A closing thougt from Mr Griffin:
Federal Reserve System does not need to be audited… It needs to be abolished!
I hear you Mr Griffin!
