Goldman Sucks will now have 45 tonnes of Venezuelan gold... hmm, what to do, what to do?

Pulled an pair of slacks out of closet to wear to office and put my hand in the pocket. A money clip with $85 dollars. SWEET!

Off to the LCS to convert this free money. Nothing greater in the world than finding money in cloths pockets you did not know was there

The U.S. Dollar Is Going Parabolic – Something Somewhere Is Collapsing

March 11, 2015Financial Markets, Gold, Market Manipulation, U.S. Economyderivatives, dollar bubble, economic collapse, Housing bubble

The US Dollar index is going parabolic.  More often than not, markets that go parabolic will crash.  This is what happened with the dollar in 2008 (click to enlarge):

The common “narrative” out there is that the dollar squeeze is being fueled by European sovereign and corporate entities scrambling for dollars in order to pay dollar-denominated debt obligations. Yes, this is part of the equation. But, just like in 2008, it is a sympton of a castrophic underlying systemic problem. After all, the Fed has created close to $4 trillion in new dollars, $2.6 trillion of which are sitting in the excess reserve account of the big banks at the Fed earning interest. That’s $2.6 trillion in excess dollars that can used to fund any excess demand for dollars.

There’s also a repo collateral short squeeze plus a vicious Treasury short-squeeze going on, especially in the middle of the curve, where the Fed has removed most of the supply. But again, these are all “symptoms” of an underlying problem. Let’s not forget that the price of oil, along with many other key economic indicators are collapsing right now.

I believe that the collapse in the energy sector has triggered a silent derivatives counterparty bomb that we can’t see because of the intentional opacity of the OTC derivatives market. But you don’t have a 50% collapse in a key economic commodity like oil – a commodity which has $100’s of billions in OTC derivatives securities wrapped around it – without some kind of counterparty default tsunami that has been triggered. Throw on top of that the Greece situation and you have a recipe for a derivatives financial nuclear meltdown.

Wall Street has been stunningly silent about the meltdown in the energy sector. There has not been one utterance about any derivatives connected to the situation. But we’ve seen at least two big energy junk bond issuers blow up. One of them did not even make the first interest payment on its debt. Without question there were OTC credit default swaps connected to this debt.

The parabolic dollar “short squeeze” storyline is what they want you see. I would suggest that something much bigger and catastrophic unfolding behind that curtain…

From what Batchelor and Cohen discuss, it seems clear that Merkel, Hollande, and the other pro-peace leaders of the Euro nations realize (as well as some of the European bankers) that war is being forced upon Europe by the U.S.. They may also realize that one way to derail this drive to war is to cause the break up of the Euro and NATO. There are some (Dr. Jim Willie) who state that Germany has already made the decision to leave the Euro and NATO, and instead is looking East to Russia and China. Perhaps the USD is going parabolic because the Euro is diving--possibly because some might suspect that the Euro and NATO are coming to an end and are getting out of the Euro? Could Merkel, Hollande and other "pro-peace" European leaders be willing to break up NATO and the EU in order to avoid WWIII with Russia?  IS THIS THE CATASTROPHIC EVENT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?

Did anyone look at the list?

The good professor Dugin and the Eurasian Youth Union made the list. There's another name connected to Dugin too that I'll cover in part 2.

Guess my Dugin theory isn't so crazy after all.

Was it purely public comment and outraged that encouraged the ATF to recall their ban?  I think it certainly created a thorn in their side, but remember this exclusive article: Common AR-15 Green Tip Ammunition Already Banned in New ATF Regulation Guide?

In that article, it proved that the exemption of M855 ammunition in the 2005 ATF Regulation Guide was removed in the 2014 version way before they even notified the public of their intent.

Have we been duped?

As I’ve expressed in my article Why There Will NOT be Peaceful Revolution, the government has had its way with us regardless of public opinion.

Remember how the public was outraged when we did not want to go to war with Syria?  Guess what, we are bombing Syria because we are after ISIS….

Remember how outraged we were with the NDAA and Patriot act.  Yeah, those are still active and removing our constitutional rights.

You know about all the public outrage of our military police state?  The pentagon 1033 program which is facilitating the transfer of military arms to local police departments is still occurring.

Perhaps this is just a coincidence and this Supreme Court Ruling is in no way linked to the ammunition ban.  However, just as Justice Alito said in the quote, we should be afraid of this ruling as it allows the Feds to run wild with “interpretations” of virtually any law that is already in place.
