Yesterdays Conspiracy Nut is Today’s News Story

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of Joe and let’s have a chat about all manner of things social and economic shall we? Good.

These letters we produce are basically rooted in some form of economics. But, because every single thing that happens tends to effect the overall economic picture, we have to be cognizant of just about everything that goes on. At first a lot of it would not seen interconnected, but the fact is, it always is. So when you see us talking about such diverse topics as education, military, laws, etc etc, the bottom line is that we aren’t talking about it so we can preach our own particular religion, it’s because all these things added together literally brings us to this particular moment in economic time.

As a for instance, we can look at “global warming”. It didn’t take long for us to realize that the true reason “they” were pushing global warming was to tax people and have more control over their lives. The global planners love nothing more than being king of the hill and he who rules the energy, rules the people. So, as that whole movement grew bigger and bigger, we would be the targets of ridicule from supposed know it all’s that knocked us time and time again for our views. yet we knew the real reason was to institute “global carbon trading” markets, to make trillions of dollars, to tax your every move, to make you more subservient to big Government. Do you think something that sweeping might have an effect on the economy? Your economy? You bet it would. One of the biggest.

Now the whole scam has been exposed. From the leaked emails where the scientists hid data and had to “make up” theories, to the latest rounds of scientists tossing in the towel and saying we haven’t warmed a lick since 1995 and are probably cooling now, to high profile global warming advocates quitting in disgrace. Now it’s main stream for the average person to ridicule the global warming nazi’s. But I ask, where were you all when we were telling you what a hoax it was ten years ago? Why did it take so long for you all to wake up? And better yet, if you could finally wake up and see that the entire globe was being pushed to accept this hoax of biblical proportions, why would you think it stops there? What about Internet control, more and more big brother, useless wars created on purpose, false flag attacks, etc?

I truly understand that it takes a particular mindset to understand that indeed the world is run by a handful of very powerful people. Nothing could sound more conspiracy nut if you tried. Yet day after day, as we expose the hoax’s, the scams, the push for control, etc, people are waking up to what’s been done to them. Well, at least those who can think. Those that have a functioning brain cell. The rest are mired in mindless TV, and movies glorifying stupidity like Dumb and Dumber.

I’m writing this on Friday afternoon as I sit here watching my stock positions, and deciding if I’d like to buy more, or make any changes. So, just read along for a second the type of news that’s making headlines around the world on this one particular day:

*Head Of Greek Debt Office Replaced By Former Goldman Investment Banker
*Big Pharma researcher admits to faking dozens of research studies for Pfizer, *Merck for over 13 years
*Lawsuit Accuses Pa. School District of Spying -   School Gives Kids  Laptops,               Spies on Them Via Webcam
*UN Climate Chief Yvo De Boer To Resign
*Internet Censorship: Major Truth-Providing Websites Blocked By Asia Netcom   
  To New Zealand Users

*Blackwater accused of defrauding US government
*Iraq Election Deteriorates as Leading Candidates are Banned
*Reid Jobs Bill Gives Tax Breaks for Hiring Illegal Workers
*World’s biggest coal company brings U.S. government to court in climate fraud
*Disgraced 9/11 ‘hero’: Former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik sentenced     to 4 years in prison
*Police push for warrantless searches of cell phones
*TSA Thugs Harass 4-Year-Old Disabled Boy
*Controlling the Ability of People and Organizations to Access the Internet
*Court Rules That Mass Surveillance of Americans is Immune From Judicial Review
*STUDY: Chicagoland is ‘dark pool of political corruption’

Did you read these. I mean really read them and let them sink in? In just 13 minutes these are some of the headlines I found for ONE day in  our lives. Yet each and every one of them has a significant “dark side” to them. I won’t go through them all, but let’s take the first couple as an example. Another Goldman alumni is appointed to an important post which centers around money??Go figure. What’s that make, 18 ex Goldman people placed at Government positions of authority? Now haven’t we been preaching for some 10 years that Goldman and the bankers really run the WORLD?? We have. Them along with those mutants from the UN, the Trilateral Commission, the Counsil of foreign relations.

How about the next one?? A guy who’s been reviewed in peer publications, a high and mighty researcher for the Big pharma industry admits to 13 years of MAKING UP STUDIES THAT DIDN’T EXIST, TO GET DRUG APPROVALS ETC.  Go figure eh? How many times have we told you that the Corporatists, in cahoots with the bankers and global planners pretty much do what they want? Many. How many times did you roll your eyes and think I was nuts? Many. Yet here’s one of their big guns telling the world he whored for big pharma, so they could make BILLIONS.

A school in Pa, gives all the students laptops, and then doesn’t tell them it has a web cam in it that can see everything they do at home. Maybe they see your little brother or sister getting undressed. Maybe they see your mom and dad making whoopee. What ever. This is an invasion of your basic rights to privacy like none other. Yet a school did this. Yeah, those upright paragons of purity, the school system. The same ones that are teaching my kid about diversity, while America ranks 38th in science. Do you think this is all by accident? Do you really?

How about the Internet provider blocking access to web sites that it doesn’t like? Guess what folks- the UN is demanding that America give up control of the Internet to the global community. It seems that Countries like Cuba, Iran, China etc are none too happy that Americans run the web, and they want more say in how it’s run. Now guess what else? Obama just met with those officials to see what powers he can indeed cede to UN oversight. Oh and by the way, there is a push on by some lawmakers demanding that user of the Internet get a “license” before they can post. They don’t like this idea of free speech by anyone who just happens to want to talk.

Shall I go on? No, you’re getting the point. The point is do NOT label people conspiracy nuts any longer. Why? Because there are things going on around the world, and in your own backyard, that are absolutely shocking. You might even “sense” it, but if you allow yourself to admit it might be going on, it hits your psyche. See, at that point you have to say “it’s going on, but I don’t care” or “it’s going on, and I am part of it”. Neither of those revelations make you feel that good about yourself.

To this day I get emails calling me a nutjob when ever I tell you all that the market is manipulated daily. I get all this BS about how it’s too big, and if something like that was going on, it would be sniffed out by the media, etc. What a crock. First off… the media? The media is owned by major corporations with huge pockets and big agendas. They will tell you what they want you to know, and that’s all. Period. This is why the nightly news isn’t full of the criminal actions of our Federal Reserve, or how Goldman Sachs has alumni in Gov’t positions around the world, or how there’s 600 Trillion in derivatives floating around, but we’ll hear a ten minute dialog about all the millions our snowboarding olympian is getting in endorsements. Dumb down the masses, give them circus and bread. A page out of old Rome.

Well here’s a treat for you all kiddies. On Wednesday morning CNBC flashed over to the trading floor in Chicago to ask a couple floor traders what they thought the market was doing. One of them, Mr. Larry Levin ( number 462 in the pits) said something quite remarkable. In a very short 2 minute interview, he said the words. “market isn’t free”, Government interventions, and Controlled”.  Please do take the 2 minutes out of your life to see what is really going on by clicking this link.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1416867958&play=1

Well there you have it eh? There’s a guy in the pits, part of this thing called a market and he says they’re not free any more, there’s too much Government intervention an they are controlled. Wow, that sounds pretty much like what I’ve been saying for the past God knows how long, eh? Yet when I say it, people snicker. Well go snicker at this guy. He’s there, he sees the unexplained futures buys, the incredible amount of money that flies into the market, saving it from falls. Go ahead.

Okay Bob, so what’s all this leading to? Just this folks. This isn’t your daddy’s market any more. It’s not your daddys Country any more. This is a whole new world, one that’s more and more run by shadow governments, bankers, corporatists, and global planners. Interestingly, one of the most popular Presidents in our History, one Mr. JF Kennedy literally spelled it out in black and white one evening for all to see. The President and the Press: American Newspaper Publishers Association Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York took place on April 27, 1961. The speech went 19 minutes, and I’m going to link you to it, but I am going to post the most essential piece of it here for you to read:

 ”For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”

Now, it can be argued that he’s talking about the Cold war and Russia. But it goes well beyond that. JFK didn’t much like the idea of the Federal Reserve and actually decided there was a better way to handle the nations money. He actually issued Silver Certificates. On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy’s order gave the Treasury the power “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” This meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury’s vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion in U.S. notes into circulation. The ramifications of this bill are enormous.

With the stroke of a pen, Mr. Kennedy was on his way to putting the Federal Reserve Bank of New York out of business. If enough of these silver certificates were to come into circulation they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve notes. This is because the silver certificates are backed by silver and the Federal Reserve notes are not backed by anything. Executive Order 11110 would have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level, because it would have given the government the ability to repay its debt without going to the Federal Reserve and being charged interest in order to create the new money. Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S. the ability to create its own money backed by silver.  Guess what? just five months later he was assassinated. Coincidence? Please. Don’t embarrass yourself. He was trying to out muscle the real power brokers and he wound up dead for his efforts.

As we move forward, we have enormous challenges. The people running the ship are lunatics. Through JFK’s “conspiracy” that he talked of, we have been invaded from within by people with a big agenda for America. To strip her of her glory, and turn it’s 320 million citizens into something more resembling the rest of the world. We have a President whom we cannot demand a birth certificate of. We had a clean energy Czar who was part of dangerous revolutionary “gangs”. Carol Browner, administrator of the EPA was listed as a leading member of “Socialists International” until they pulled her name off the listing when “conspiracy nuts” found it. Our banking system is full to the brim with people who knowingly took our system down, because they also Knew they’d get bailed out with billion dollar bonuses. Our immigration troubles continue, because the politicians love them as a voting block, and our military is running all over the world chasing cavemen. There is fraud and corruption at every turn, and day by day they are doing their best to stifle free speech, now targeting the Internet. Our airports strip search your little daughters with visions scanners and we make 4 year old boys take off their fake limbs, while the Christmas bomber was “let on” his flight through a back door. All of this is coincidence right? It’s coincidence that global warming has been blown out of the water, and yet to this day almost every Obama speech contains the words “carbon” in it. More coincidence?

So what’s all this mean to you? It means that you have to be incredibly careful about what you believe. All the so called guru’s, including our leaders like Bernanke, and Paulson said that there was no crisis coming, no problems. Then we melted down. Now they say they’ve fixed it all. Do you belive them? How can you believe someone in the most powerful position in our Country ( our central bank) who told us point blank there was no troubles coming, and then when the troubles hit, he now thinks he’s got it all figured out?? What about terrorism? Just how many of your freedoms are you willing to give up, for some perverted feeling of safety? Do you want your emails scanned, your cell phone conversations taped? Do you want some TSA thug scanning naked pics of your daughter?

What about jobs? Where the hell did all the jobs go? Well they went overseas of course. The corporations were quick to pack up and take advantage of the low cost labor in Vietnam, China, and Malaysia. But more interestingly, those that tried to stay were systematically taken down by the ruthless EPA. Ever more stringent rules, rules that go way above the norm were put on companies, until finally the company folded or went overseas. Coincidence? How about our energy situation? We have enough coal, oil, and natgas to fuel this country for hundreds of years, but it’s untouchable. Why? The EPA sends it’s eco nazi’s out and makes it stop. So, we’re tied to the hip to such upright nations as Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. I know, more coincidence right? Let me tell you something, the EPA’s “cover” was to provide us with clean air and drinking water. It’s real purpose was to keep our resources locked away, a bizarre form of collateral to the world once Nixon cut us off the gold standard. It was not a coincidence that the EPA came about and the move to a fiat currency took place in the same 12 months.

The take away is that America is going through changes you couldn’t even imagine just fifteen years ago, yet they’re here. In the near future everything that we consider dear to our life, such as freedom of speech, gun rights, taxes, education, jobs, etc. is going to be examined, regulated, and hotly debated. We are in the end game of 100 years of social and economic engineering, and how all this works out is really anyone’s guess. I’m hopeful that there’s enough Americans that remember what freedom is, and what it means, to return us to something resembling what made us so great in the past. I’m also fairly confident that economically we have a lot more rough times ahead.

Don’t dismiss the conspiracy nuts folks. Listen to what they have to say and then contemplate it. See if it makes a few shreds of sense. When we told everyone several years ago that the bankers were going to take the system down AND get bailed out just like they did with the S&L crisis, we were once again labelled “nuts’. Guess what? It happened as planned and on time. But that’s not the big news. The big news is that BECAUSE we understand the “agendas” of these cretains, we can make moves to profit from their agendas. We were pretty long Real Estate from03 to 06 and then when short. We were long banking and financials from 03 to 07 and then went short. Were we just lucky? Uhm, no. We just knew the game plan.

So, as I unfold to you all who really runs the country, how they do it,and why they do it, I’m not doing it so I can launch the next version of Conspiracy TV. I’m going it so you understand the things you see going on. I’m doing it so we can get out ahead of their agenda’s and benefit from them. Frankly we can’t stop them, the only thing we can do is know what they’re up to, so we can plan ahead. I want to end this little ramble with this last bit of interesting information. For the most part, 99 out of 100 people have no clue what the Trilateral Commission is. Some have never heard of it, some may have but don’t know what it’s about. So, let me share what they say they are, right off their web site okay?

The Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973 by private citizens of Japan, Europe (European Union countries), and North America (United States and Canada) to foster closer cooperation among these core democratic industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system. Originally established for three years, our work has been renewed for successive triennia (three-year periods), most recently for a triennium to be completed in 2012….and on and on

That sounds cozy and innocent enough right? I mean wouldn’t it make sense to bring nations together? Granted the words “with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system” sounds a bit “globalist” (as it should). But on the surface, most people could pass it off as yet another big body they just really pay any attention to. So, I’d like to take a quote from Senator Barry Goldwater. For those that don’t remember, he was a five term Senator and ran against Lyndon Johnson in the 64 election. I’d say he knew something about Washington, and politics, right? Five terms and running for President probably puts you “in the know”. Well here is what he had to say about the Trilateral Commission:

The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power – political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical.”

Wow. Pretty damning verse there eh? A powerful Washington insider said that folks. Not a conspiracy nut, but a guy that very well might have been President after JFK. Now, who’s on this commission anyway? Let’s see if you recognize any of the names -  Larry Summers (former Secretary of the treasury)  Timothy Geithner ( Current Treasury Secretary, was head of the NY Federal Reserve) Maurice R. Greenberg, (Chairman, CEO, American International Group,  yeah the guys we bailed out for tens of billions, which funneled at least 13 billions back to Goldman)  Robert D. Hormats, (Vice Chairman, Goldman Sachs International)  …shall I go on?  

See folks, your politicians are the puppets, these guys pull the strings. So when you ask yourself “how could the bankers wreck the system and then get tens of billions in bonuses a year later?” Just look at the roster, and remember what Goldwater said. It makes it all so very simple to understand. Your only other choice is to think that all this was on giant mistake, every fail safe failed, a monumental amount of good intentions simply “goofed up” and it was all by chance. Isn’t it interesting that, that is exactly what you’ve been told???

Now onto the market:

A very interesting week, eh? You bet it was. Let’s start somewhere off the beaten path, let’s start with gold. Gold was starting to look pretty good. It had put in a correction and was just starting to make some gains that looked impressive. So, what do we get as soon as it’s starting to move? An announcment by the IMF that it’s going to sell 191 tons of the stuff. Now I find that interesting on several levels. First off, we “knew” this was coming, they told us several months ago. Isn’t it odd how they didn’t announce the sale until it stopped falling and was starting to march higher? Do you think that by any chance that announcement was designed to knock it back down, and help out the gigantic short positions held by the three major institutions?

When that didn’t have the desired effect of knocking it down, out of the clear blue Bernanke comes out on a Thursday night and says he’s going to up the discount rate from fifty basis points to seventy five. That “should” have the effect of strengthening the dollar and knocking gold for a loop. Again I ask, a coincidence? Well interestingly gold shook off the IMF and the Bernanke rate hike and ended Friday UP nine bucks. It’s safe to assume that little exercise didn’t work for them.

Now what about that stupid rate hike? Let me copy what we told our members in the “Insiders Club” ( our paid membership area) on Friday ahead of the opening bell.

There’s about a zillion things that the Fed does in the banking system. From repo’s to you name it there are facilities for all manner of banking transactions. One of them is the overnight lending window where banks can come with their hat in hand and borrow from the Fed to square off their balances. It’s called the overnight window because it is designed to be a short term loan, one of just 24 hours. But, when the melt down hit, the Fed cut this rate to almost nothing AND increased the amount of time banks could keep the money to 28 days. What the Fed did last night was cut back the term to overnight and they boosted the rate they charge by 25 basis points. ( a quarter percent)  Now, what’s this mean? Several things.

First, they’ve been yacking about draining liquidity from the system for a while now. They know the pressure is on them from every angle as their own balance sheet has ballooned to unimaginable proportions, and people are giving them a ton of flack over the bail outs, bonuses, you name it. So, they are trying to make it look like they are reigning in the system a bit.

So is this the first step towards a true hike in interest rates? Technically yes, but in practical terms, NO. This move will effect about 30 billion in funds only, and the Fed knows quite well that there’s NO WAY they can hike the true money policy rates. It would effectively erase any and all benefit they might be seeing from all the stimulus. This  was symbolic in nature, a way to strengthen the dollar a bit after China actually SOLD treasuries last month and frightened the hell out of them.

The Fed HAD to do something to try and show the world that they are still in charge and they have some sort of credibility. This was the only thing they could do that really means nothing, but looks good. It’s a con job designed to make it look like we have some stability  here.

So, what about the big futures drop? Is our fledgling little rally cooked now? I don’t think so. I think they’re going to go to work and spin this Fed news as proof positive that the economy is improving and you should be buying stock. Yes we might take a dip at the open, but I’ll be awful surprised if we end the day in the deep red. Yes we might end the day flat, maybe, but Not deep red.

Maybe we got lucky, but sure enough after a couple dips in the am, we came back to level and ended the day “flat” with the DOW up 9 points. Okay, so far so good and our positions are looking fine. Now the question is, where does this go from here? It’s our guess that we are in a bounce period and it could take us to the 10,600 level.  The DIA’s that we bought a bit ago at 100.66, hit 104.45 on Friday, a pretty sweet trade. Our feeling is that this bounce has a bit more legs and you should milk it for what you can get.  IF you need some help on “milking it” consider coughing up the 159 bucks for a year of our Insiders Club. It’s a snapshot of what we do with our own money on a daily basis.

Good luck, enjoy your weekend and we’ll see you all on Wednesday.
