ZeroHedge.com | The Dark Gray Swan: No More Foreign Dollars With Which To Buy US Treasuries
12/17/2009 21:31 -0500 Could the next black/green/dark gray swan be so obvious that it has avoided everyone? Well, except for the deputy governor of the Bank of China, who just gave the world a startling reminder of economics 101, when he said that it is "getting harder for governments to buy United States Treasuries because the US's shrinking current-account gap is reducing the supply of dollars overseas." Oops.
The funny thing about natural (and economic) systems: they can only be pushed so far before they snap back to default state. With the entire world embarking on an unprecedented spree of domestic bubble blowing to mask the collapse in global GDP, everyone forgot to trade. Zero Hedge has long emphasized that the drop in world trade can only sustain for so long before it brings the current destabilized system back to some form of equilibrium. Because with every country intent on merely printing more of its own currency, whether it is to build bridges or to make the stock of electronic book fads trade at 100x earnings, said countries ran out of non-domestic cash. Alas, this is most critical for the United States, now that Treasury monetization is over, as the US needs to constantly find foreign buyers of its debt to fund unsustainable deficits. Foreign buyers who have US dollars. And according to Shanghai Daily, this could be a big, big problem.

AmericanThinker.com | The end of liberalism?
From the very beginning of the Obama presidency Democrats have been acting like kids in a candy store - doubling down on the TARP bailout and the $787 billion stimulus/slush fund. The most recent 1.1 trillion spending bill and now the health care bill which, with a little accounting sleight-of-hand, comes in at under one trillion, the Democrats are spending like there are no more tomorrows. What will be the results of all of this out of control spending? The consequences will be many but one of the most surprising results could be the end of liberalism. At least that's...

Indeed, at that time, the public finances of the major Western countries are going to become unmanageable, as it will simultaneously become clear that new support measures for the economy are needed because of the failure of the various stimuli in 2009 (1), and that the size of budget deficits preclude any significant new expenditures.

Credit card’s newest trick: 79.9% interest

NEW YORK — It’s no mistake. This credit card’s interest rate is 79.9%.

Upbeat reports in the financial media, belie the effects of the ongoing credit contraction. Massive injections of central bank liquidity have prevented the collapse of financial markets, but have done little to ease the deleveraging of households or stimulate activity the broader economy. The crisis has stripped $13 trillion in equity from working families who now find their access to credit either cut off or severely curtailed by the same banks that received hefty taxpayer-funded bailouts. The fiscal strangulation of the millions of people who are no longer considered “creditworthy” is progressively weakening demand and spreading pessimism across all income levels.

In response to my one of my articles, “Hope for Financial Freedom,” I had a concerned American citizen correspond with me about the subject. He asked me a few questions which I feel are important enough to address publicly, because undoubtedly, there are many similar-thinking Americans who perhaps have not thought this fully through. Before I state the questions, let me explain why the questions were asked in the first place. As many American patriots are now advocating, the only viable way to resist federal tyranny is through the active sovereign powers of the States. This necessarily means, as I have explained for months, that the States must use the powers given to them by their sovereigns (the people)–and retained to them in the tenth amendment of the US Constitution–to pass laws which actively nullify, negate or refute unconstitutional federal laws and taxation within the sovereign borders of those States. Some people are looking at this scenario and asking what this gentleman asked me, as follows:

Since then, words to that effect have become a rallying cry for those defending the Second Amendment.
Chaos in Copenhagen - United States and host Denmark accused of trampling on the rights of poor countries
Chaos and farce reigned at the birth of a climate accord agreed by a clique of leaders
with statesmen going missing, critics crying foul,
and hacks stampeding on vain hunts for Barack Obama.

and hacks stampeding on vain hunts for Barack Obama.
By AFP and FIL C. SIONIL
December 19, 2009, 8:06pm
COPENHAGEN –Fatigue fermented a feverish cocktail of human emotion overnight Friday as the US president claimed to have staved off a default in the dying hours of global warming talks in Copenhagen.
But small nations like Cuba and Nicaragua erupted in fury at being snubbed in a game of big power diplomatic chess also involving developing giants Brazil, China, and India.
A major bloc of developing nations called the draft climate deal in Copenhagen the “worst in history” and hinted it may try to block it.
Lumumba Stanislas Dia-ping of Sudan, chairing the Group of 77 and China bloc of 130 poor nations, accused the United States and host Denmark of trampling on the rights of poor countries.
“Today's events really represent the worst developments in climate change negotiations in history,” Diaping told reporters.
“The deal locks developing countries and the poor of developing countries into a cycle of poverty forever.”
Despite the chaos, President Arroyo’s participation in the two-day conference was deemed a success as she became the spokesperson of the member-economies of Southeast Asia on the severity of the effect of global warming on “climate-takers” like the Philippines.
President Arroyo heightened the awareness of the world leaders on the importance of preserving the environment, cut down on greenhouse gas emission to avert further worsening of the situation as shown by the sufferings of her countrymen due to the recent weather disturbances that visited the Philippines.
She referred to the outcome of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)-sponsored study on the national, economic, environment, and development effects of 12 nations identified to be the most at risk or vulnerable to climate change with Philippines on the top rank.
The study indicated that 70 percent of the coastal settlements in the Philippines would be submerged for every meter rise that includes Metro Manila. A two-meter rise in sea level on the other hand would impact the entire world.
This was the basis for the Philippine leader to announce here the government's commitment to further pare down its carbon footprint by 20 percent annually as soon as possible.
Claiming a “meaningful” deal to curb greenhouse gas emissions, Obama fired up carbon-belching Air Force One and raced back from the global warming summit to outrun a storm ironically tipped to dump a foot of snow on Washington.
It was a stunning turnaround, as earlier, as the summit went into extra time, the whole project was on the verge of collapse, US officials said.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd added: “There was a grave risk that these negotiations would collapse altogether.”
While Obama's team clearly had an interest in spinning the climax of the talks to the young US president's advantage, they revealed a stunning succession of events more apt to a French farce than a major world summit.
Frustrated at deadlock in the talks, largely over China's refusal to accept a transparency regime to monitor developing states' emissions, Obama vowed to have “one more run at getting this done,” a senior aide said on Air Force One.
Desperate for a foreign policy win, Obama drew the line when a comparatively minor Chinese official Yu Qingtai, an expert on climate change talks showed up to a multilateral meeting instead of Chinese premier Wen Jiabao.
“I don't want to mess around with this anymore, I want to just talk with Premier Wen,” a senior aide quoted Obama as saying.
Obama also decided he wanted to speak to leaders of major developing powers seen in China's camp.
So, he dispatched his advance team to find Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and South African President Jacob Zuma.
One problem: US aides were told that Singh was already at the airport, probably believing the talks were done.
“Advance basically tells the South Africans that at this point the Brazilians are unclear about meeting without the Indians, the Indians are at the airport, and Zuma at that point says, ‘well, if they're not coming I can't do this,’” said the US official.
Soon, Wen's team came on the line and said they were ready to meet Obama.
Obama's advance men headed off to scope out the room in the cavernous Bella Centre where the talks were taking place, but could not get in... and the reason soon becomes clear.
“We've now figured out why we can't get into that room: because that room has Wen, Lula, Singh and Zuma,” the official said. “They're all having a meeting.”
Obama, according to reporters close to his side as he strode towards the talks, headed straight in.
“Mr. Premier, are you ready to see me? Are you ready? Mr. Premier, are you ready to see me? Are you ready?” Obama cried.
US officials insisted the president did not barge in uninvited on the surprise meeting, but was merely showing up on time for his talks with Wen.
“We weren't crashing a meeting – we were going for our bilateral meeting ... we found the other people there.”
At this point a near scuffle broke out after Chinese cameramen made a rush for a shot of all the leaders together.
“My people” have to get into the room, “or we're leaving” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs in an unusual role as defender of the US press.
Downstairs, waves of reporters, cameramen and photographers started to surge through the conference center, as rumours ran riot that Obama was about to give a dramatic press conference.
But Obama's small corps of traveling press was already salted away in a makeshift television studio fashioned from black curtains, in a deserted shopping mall with half dressed mannequins just out of sight.
The president declared the non-binding pact unprecedented and historic, though short of what must be done to tame global warming.
Shellshocked delegates were left to digest implications of the non-binding deal, with vague promises to cut emissions, in an all-night plenary session of the Conference of Parties (COP).
Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen was in the chair, but at times the late night talks descended into incoherence.
“The United States abstained, then I passed the floor to Nicaragua .....,” Rasmussen said, confused by a breakdown of the session.
“Nicaragua abstained... who wants to speak?”

Tremendous sink hole treatening to swallow community in Virginia
The parks department closed off the hole with caution tape and a plastic mesh fence and had made plans to fill the hole in.
But two weeks later the ground around the hole in a one hundred foot radius began to sink.
Several witnesses were on hand as the ground collapsed opening up a very large crater that toppled trees.
“It was a frightening thing to watch.” Silvia Shelby told us. “we could see the ground begining to move downward slowly at first, then it just gave way and the ground opened up. Trees fell over and went down into the hole, rocks and boulders tumbled down. It was a terrifying spectical to watch.”

Four months later, the hole has grown to enormous proportions.
At nearly a half mile wide and with no indication of how deep it is, the hole continues to grow each day.
It has expanded to the nearby rivers and created huge water falls on its ridge which are emptying the water at a dramatic rate.
The draw of water into the hole has caused a huge surge in sea water to travel up the river and at high tide the sound of water crashing over the newly formed falls is deafening.
Residents who live a mere few yards of the hole have been evacuated, and all they can do is stand by and watch helplessly as their homes tumble into the hole within the next few days.

BREAKING POINT: TOP TRENDS 2010 - Gerald Celente
December 17, 2009Kingston, NY -- The first decade of the 21st century is going out the way it came in … with a bust and a bang.
The Great Recession is not over. There is no recovery. It’s a cover up. Expect another wave of terrorism. Possibly of 9/11 magnitude.
As well as challenges, also expect profitable and transformational social, health, environmental, entertainment, cultural, business and consumer trends to emerge in 2010.
• The Crash of 2010: The Bailout Bubble is about to burst. Be prepared for the onset of the Greatest Depression.
• Depression Uplift: The pursuit of elegance and affordable sophistication will raise spirits … and profits.
• Terrorism 2010: Years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq – and now Pakistan – have intensified anti-American sentiment. 2010 will be the year of the lone-wolf, self-radicalized gunman.
• Neo-Survivalism: A new breed of survivalist is devising ingenious stratagems to beat the crumbling system. And, they’re not all heading for the hills with AK-47’s and pork & beans.
• Not Welcome Here: Fueled by fear and resentment, a global anti-immigration trend will gather force and serve as a major plank in building a new political party in the US.
• TB or Not TB: With two-thirds of Americans Too Big (TB) for their own good (and everyone else’s), 2010 will mark the outbreak of a “War on Fat,” providing a ton of business opportunities.
• Mothers of Invention: Taking off with the speed of the Internet revolution, “Technology for the Poor” will be a major trend in 2010, providing products and services for newly downscaled Western consumers and impoverished consumers everywhere.
• Not Made In China: A “Buy Local,” “My Country First” protectionist backlash will deliver a big “No” to unrestrained globalism and open solid niches for local and domestic manufacturers.
• The Next Big Thing: Just as the traditional print media (newspapers/magazines) were scooped by Internet competition, so too will new communication technologies herald the end of the TV networks as we know them.

In response to my one of my articles, “Hope for Financial Freedom,” I had a concerned American citizen correspond with me about the subject. He asked me a few questions which I feel are important enough to address publicly, because undoubtedly, there are many similar-thinking Americans who perhaps have not thought this fully through. Before I state the questions, let me explain why the questions were asked in the first place. As many American patriots are now advocating, the only viable way to resist federal tyranny is through the active sovereign powers of the States. This necessarily means, as I have explained for months, that the States must use the powers given to them by their sovereigns (the people)–and retained to them in the tenth amendment of the US Constitution–to pass laws which actively nullify, negate or refute unconstitutional federal laws and taxation within the sovereign borders of those States. Some people are looking at this scenario and asking what this gentleman asked me, as follows:

Made popular a decade ago when NRA president Charlton Heston held up a rifle and uttered a shortened version of the the slogan, “I will give up my gun when they peel my cold, dead fingers from around it,” these words were first used in 1976 and appear to have originated with the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Since then, words to that effect have become a rallying cry for those defending the Second Amendment.

They say their hours have been cut or they’ve been laid off. Some have their first names stitched in cursive on their uniforms, others wear safety-toe boots.

Are U.S. and China Together on Gold?

With Time magazine’s momentous selection of Ben Bernanke as Person of the Year, there were reports of people dancing in the streets in, um, Oslo. Leave it to Time to figure out a way to make Henry Luce roll in his grave while outdoing rival Newsweek in the race to claim publishing’s trophy for irrelevancy. While the understandably isolated delirium over Bernanke’s selection subsides, we thought we’d update the prospectus on gold with a contribution from a Rick’s Picks subscriber who has requested anonymity. His thoughts run counter to the popular notion that investors can count on steady buying from China to lend buoyancy to bullion quotes. As the writer makes clear, China may have a mind of its own, and it will not always be perfectly aligned with the thinking of gold bulls. Here we go:

Niall Ferguson is an academic hotshot. He is a professor at both Harvard University and the Harvard Business School. This is unique. He is both an economist and an historian. This is rare. He writes very well. He writes widely respected books and very readable articles.

Rarely has a political movement with so much power collapsed so fast, certainly not since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Beginning in 1990, Global Warming has been the battle cry behind schemes for global control of industry, energy use, water use, private property and community development. It has been the excuse for economy-killing legislation like Cap and Trade (that will extract $865 billion from an already overtaxed people who use energy), and global-to-local polices like Sustainable Development (that robs local communities of freedom to decide their own future development). As a result, the world economy is being transformed into a new Dark Ages of superstition and thought-control – all in the name of Global Warming – or more recently – Climate Change.

PART 1 of 2

There are two amendments which appear in the US Constitution that were fraudulently declared ratified by then Secretary of State Philander P. Knox and US Solicitor General Joshua Reuben Clark. They are the 16th and 17th Amendments to the US Constitution. The JP Morgan-Rockefeller-Rothschild international banking cartel (which actually encompasses about 100 of the wealthiest families in the world) swapped New Jersey Gov. Thomas Woodrow Wilson the White House for their own private central bank. In doing so, they perpetuated the fraud on the people of the United States. To make a central bank viable, the bankers needed to be able to levy the incomes of the people of the United States. To do that, they needed Congress to enact a federal income tax. There was only one problem with that. Assessing an unapportioned tax (that unfairly and punitively targets one citizen over another) was specifically prohibited by the Constitution. The bankers needed a constitutional amendment to correct Article 1 § 8. The bankers had one other problem with this plan. Every attempt to create a permanent central bank or, for that matter, a new temporary one, met fierce resistance from the States and from State banks. To get a constitutional resolution through Congress, it would first be necessary to remove the States from the equation of governance at the federal level. The 17th Amendment did that.
ONE WORLD CURRENCY ON THE HORIZON?

Who said last February that it was OK with them to produce a new currency to replace the dollar? None other than serial tax evader, our U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the guy that held his nose when the corporations to big to fail began receiving government bailouts, Federal Reserve chief, Ben Bernanke. In a speech to the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce on February 6, 2007 Bernanke warned that rising income inequality in the U.S. “has been evident for at least three decades, if not longer.” [1] Gee, I wonder what caused that? Could it be the Federal Reserve printing money out of thin air causing inflation and the income disparity? And why did the Obama administration fail to invite the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) and the Chambers to the “Jobs Summit” table held early in December? National Black Chamber of Commerce president, Harry Alford, a guest on Glenn Beck on 12/9 told how unions with big government jobs that pay prevailing wages (40% higher than non-government jobs) discriminate by ignoring minorities for these jobs but instead they bring in workers from 60-70 miles away.
