An Exploration of Madoff’s $50 Billion Ponzi Scheme Will Unveil the Root Causes of this Global Monetary Crisis

December, 16, 2008

Share on Facebook

For those of you that have been shocked by the fraud committed by former US NASDAQ Stock Exchange Chairman Bernard Madoff in running a Ponzi-scheme disguised as hedge fund that will create an estimated USD $50 billion of losses for investors, you shouldn’t be. Why? Because we all accept and enable a much bigger global Ponzi scheme that dwarfs the fraud committed by Mr. Madoff. For those of you unfamiliar with Ponzi schemes, a Ponzi scheme basically is any business proposition that fulfills returns to investors not through gains achieved by tangible, real investments but through the simple use of subsequent investors’ money. In other words if you invest USD $1,000 in a Ponzi scheme and are promised 15% returns after one year, the Ponzi scheme operator will merely take USD $150 of another investor’s money to provide you with your 15% returns after one year.

The Great Depression - Is it the US Treasury’s “Playbook” for the Current Monetary Crisis?

December 8, 2008

Share on Facebook

Within the past couple of months, there has been a lot of discussion regarding US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s allocation of half of the initial tranche of $700 bailout money, with many describing his spending of $350 billion thus far as appalling, disappointing, and even shocking. During a US Congressional hearing that addressed accountability of Paulson’s choices for spending $350 billion or American taxpayer money thus far, consider the following statements issued by various US Congressmen, Republican and Democrat.

“When the program was passed, very explicit language was included to provide for mortgage foreclosure,” said committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.). “It is essential that we do something to use some of the TARP funds for the diminution of the rate of mortgage foreclosures.”

“There’s a lack of confidence, it seems to me, both in this body and in the general population,” said Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski (D-Pa.). “Do we have a plan? Where are we going?”

“[Hank Paulson’s use of the bailout money is] the second-largest bait-and-switch scheme that history has ever seen, second only to the reasons given to us to vote for the invasion of Iraq.” Rep. Gary L. Ackerman (D-N.Y.)

JS Kim Uncovers Four Parallel Markets for Gold: Asia Futures, NY Futures, Physical Bullion, Physical Coins

16 October 2008

Share on Facebook

Today there have been four distinctly and differently priced markets established for gold: (1) Futures markets in Asia that consistently establish prices $20 an ounce to $60 an ounce higher than the prices established in (2) Futures markets in New York; (3) Physical bullion bars which dealers are starting to price at healthy premiums above both daily spot prices established in Asia and London/New York; and (4) Physical coins which dealers have always priced at premiums above bars and spot prices, but that are now selling at soaring premiums above spot prices.

Since the July 14th correction in gold and silver markets began, waterfall declines have occurred in gold prices in New York futures markets that trade paper gold where physical delivery of real gold occurs with less than 1% of all paper traded futures contracts. The differences in spot prices in Asian futures markets and in New York futures markets for gold have been staggering for the past 10-12 weeks, Read more …

Why the $850 Billion Bailout Plan is Still the Biggest Robbery of the 21st Century

Why America’s Anger Against Congress is Misguided, Misdirected & Misinformed

September 30, 2008

This morning, I saw reports in the media of a large contingency of Americans that were furious at Congress for not passing the Wall Street bailout plan that is now being spun as a “rescue” plan. Yet I am almost sure that if you polled one thousand of these Americans that were angry at Congress, that zero out of those 1,000 people have actually read the actual legislation, and thus, have no idea that Congress is protecting them from the greatest robbery of the 21st century. I have seen many journalists act more like a PR agent for the US government and Wall Street, stating that this plan should immediately be approved because the US Federal Reserve and the US Treasury have claimed that delaying its passage would threaten the stability of the entire global financial system. I have also read articles where journalists stated that this bailout plan is no place for bi-partisan politics.

What a bunch of nonsense. This bailout plan has nothing to do with political bickering or an immediate threat to a global financial meltdown. Americans that are angry at Congress should start by reading the legislation and then formulating an intelligent opinion about whether or not they truly want a quick fix that will sacrifice not only their future but their children’s futures as well.

Breaking Hollywood News: Armageddon 2 Now in Pre-Production in Washington D.C.

September 28, 2008

Share on Facebook

From the debates I’ve been hearing about the largest bailout in U.S. history, I’m starting to believe that less than 1/10th of 1% of all Americans have actually read the actual piece of legislation that governs this bailout. And since the bailout will be the greatest robbery of this century if passed in its original form, every single person should read the actual law. So here it is, in its form at the end of last week. Earlier last week, I stated that this bailout plan would eventually be spun as something positive even though the taxpayers would get reamed. It finally appears as though this is happening because Congressmen are claiming that the legislation is no longer a bailout, but a “rescue” of American taxpayers. To know whether our Congressmen are telling us the truth, let’s take a look at the original piece of legislation and when the text of the “amended” legislation is released, let’s see how much really constitutes a rescue v. a bailout or let’s see if the rescue is still funded by American taxpayers, which would still constitute a bailout. Normally, the articles on my blog are of a serious nature, but today, I’m taking a break from my normal format to produce a satire. Since the exact text of the amended legislation has not yet been released as of the writing of this satire, unless Congress completely trashed, not amended, the original legislation as I recommended below, this will be no “rescue” and still a “bailout”.

The Largest Robbery of the 21st Century – The Truth Behind All These Bailouts

September 21, 2008

Share on Facebook

Since I know this story will be spun into a positive news story on Monday, I thought it imperative to really tell you the honest headline of this massive government planned $700 billion bailout before the press releases their version. According to MarketWatch: “The plan allows the government to buy the bad debt of U.S. financial institutions for the next two years, according to a draft of the proposed legislation. It gives the Treasury secretary the authority to buy $700 billion in mortgage-related assets, in a bid to address the root cause of the turmoil that swept through markets this past week and resulted in the filing for bankruptcy by and government takeovers of some of the biggest U.S. financial companies.” However, Senator Schumer of New York noted that the plan “includes no visible protection for taxpayers.”

Of course not, because given the actions of the past several weeks, I can only guess that the American taxpayer is the designated sucker in this bailout plan as well. Read more …

The New SEC Illegal Short Selling Law: Does it Really Do Anything to Help Solve our Financial Crisis?

September 19, 2008

Share on Facebook

Today, before market open, the SEC announced that all short selling on U.S. financial stocks will be illegal for an indefinite and unqualified period of time (Update: actually the SEC has now qualified the period as ending on October 2, 2008 since I first wrote this article, though they have declared that they may extend this date beyond October 2nd if necessary. I believe that there is a strong possibility that the SEC will extend this expiration date at least one more time after October 2nd until at least after the U.S. Presidential election passes.- editor’s note). In a nutshell, the Securities Exchange Commission, because the free market is not cooperating with their wish of having the U.S. stock market rally, has forced all short sellers to immediately cover all short positions on all U.S. financial stocks.

When Pigs Can Fly - The Biggest Story in Recent Gold and Silver Markets that the Mainstream Media Refused to Cover

September 15, 2008

I’m going to preface this article by warning you that this is one of the longest articles I have scripted in many months because it is the most important article I have written in a long time. During the recent gold and silver correction that begin on July 14, 2008 that perfectly coincided with the miraculous surge higher in the U.S. dollar there was a massive story unfolding that should have been a lead story on every financial magazine, newspaper and website. Yet the media responded with silence. The story was so big, as a matter of fact, that every economics textbook should now have to remove the Law of Supply and Demand from their pages because if free markets still exist, Read more …

There is similar optimism surrounding the dollar today from self-declared currency experts.
