“As Long as the Population is Quiet, it doesn’t Matter” – Thank You Cowardly Left
Contains Video - Alt - A quote...."The left abandoned the anti-war movement as soon as Kerry lent his support to the wars, renditions, and torture during his run for office and they definitely turned their backs on their morals during the Obama campaign and presidency. The left cowers in fear of the pain they will suffer under a Perry presidency while their hero betrays everything they have ever CLAIMED to stand for and kills with an impunity they never granted Dick Cheney or George Bush.  --  The greatest weakness this country has ever seen in the heart of the moment when strength is demanded of the people is the current cowardice and selfishness of the so-called left/”progressives”.  --  The greatest generation saved the world for the most egocentric generation to simply hand it over for nothing to the fascists in “moderate” clothing. Our national shame is well deserved. When the storm troopers come marching down main-street looking for you and your loved ones, don’t say you weren’t warned."

Us or the war machine
Special Note - A quote...."YOU MAY have heard something about a budget crisis in Washington this summer. Were you aware that in the midst of it the House of Representatives passed a military spending bill larger than ever before? -- U.S. military spending across numerous departments has increased dramatically during the past decade and now makes up about half of federal discretionary spending. Yet the Defense Department has not been fully audited in 20 years, and as of 2001 it could not account for $2.3 trillion out of the $10 trillion or so it had been given during that time. More recently, President Obama has been waging his “days, not weeks” war in Libya for months without a dime appropriated by Congress, relying instead on the loose change lying around at the Pentagon."

Countdown Day 3: Time for the Paul Camp to Draw the Line on ‘Fein’
The 2012 Election Cycle - Warning:  Ron Paul Being Compromised! -- Some quotes...."We are on Day Three and still no conclusive word from the Ron Paul campaign. I have received hundreds of e-mails and comments from objective and vigilant Paul supporters who are equally alarmed and troubled by Mr. Fein’s recently granted inside position. I have also received a few e-mails from Paul supporters who are trying very hard to justify this new troublesome addition. I want to quote from two such e-mails and respond to both:"  ---  "Bruce Fein, the foreign lobbyist for several nations and foreign groups, the AEI nest’s neocon tenant, the reported compromiser of legal ethics …does not belong in the Ron Paul Camp. It’s time for the Paul Camp to draw the line on ‘Fein,’ and keep it there. Don’t let those lines get blurry and eventually disappear altogether. This is ‘Day Three’ in our countdown to remove Mr. Fein, the greatest ‘insider’ threat to the Paul campaign to date, and we are counting down." - also posted at DProgram - Related quote shown below....


US Firms Made Massive Profits From The Torture Of Innocent People
A quote...."The scale of the CIA’s rendition program has been laid bare in court documents that illustrate in minute detail how the US contracted out the secret transportation of suspects to a network of private American companies. -- The documents were discovered by staff at the legal charity Reprieve. Its legal director, Cori Crider, said: “These documents reveal how the CIA’s secret network of torture sites was able to operate unchecked for so many years. They also reveal what a farce it was that the CIA managed to get the prisoners’ torture claims kicked out as secret, while all of the details of its sinister business were hiding in plain sight.”"

The case reveals the inner workings of the infamous "rendition" program, where contractors charged U.S. taxpayers for wine and chocolate as they carried kidnap victims to "black sites" and proxy torturers across America's global gulag:" - bold by website editor - also posted at Uruknet

How Wall Street Fleeces America: Privatized Banking, Government Collusion and Class War
A quote...."The 1913 Federal Reserve Act let powerful bankers usurp money creation authority in violation of the  Constitution's Article I, Section 8, giving only Congress the power to "coin Money (and) regulate the Value  thereof...." Thereafter, powerful bankers used their control over money, credit and debt for private self-enrichment,  bankrolling and colluding with Congress and administrations to implement laws favoring them. -- As a result,  decades of deregulation, outsourcing, economic financialization, and casino capitalism followed, producing asset  bubbles, record budget and national debt levels, and depression-sized unemployment far higher than reported  numbers, albeit manipulated to look better."

Guess which one just got the axe."

9/11, The Crime of the Century....A Tenth Year Anniversary Retrospective

When the Guano Explodes at the Zombie Prom.
Must Read - A quote...."Now, the 9/11, exploding lights and colors, surround sound, 24 hour lie machine is going into turbo mode. It’s like an enormous disco light for The Zombie Prom. The walking dead do the Thorazine shuffle, The Prozac Pony, The Wellbutrin Waltz -or whatever the chemical stew they are on is called- to a toned down, palpable, musical looping of Lawrence Welk on Haldol; 3 enormous skyscrapers come down at the speed of free fall into their own footprint, where not even one building has ever done this before, no problem, Norad is told to stand down by Dick Cheney, while engaged in an exercise to prohibit the very thing they are not responding to, no problem, Jesus hates Muslims and torments house cats with a dinner fork, no problem, Israel is god’s chosen land, surrounded by suicide bombers, absolutely. It doesn’t matter how many people they kill in their genocidal rampages at home and around the world with their false flags, like 9/11, we’re cool with that....."

The Jews launched a massive “9/11 conspiracy theory” campaign, with their operatives positioned firmly at the helm of the movement, ready to shift the blame onto anybody but Israel, Mossad, and the Jews."

From the History File - March 16, 2010 - Related Article - A quote...."The largest group of entries added to the 9/11 Timeline over the last couple of weeks concerns military exercises and the day of 9/11. FAA training exercises in December 2000 included scenarios “close to the 9/11 plot,” and there was a Boeing 767 FAA hijack exercise in the summer of 2001, as well as a simulated suicide terrorist attack against New York two days before 9/11, and a mock Cuban hijacking the next day. Early on the day of the attacks, numerous aircraft at Andrews Air Force Base were participating in a training exercise, and controllers at Reagan National Airport failed to notify the Pentagon of the approach of Flight 77. After the Pentagon was hit, a supervisor told DC Air National Guard pilots on training to hurry back to base and the Secret Service called the guard again after Flight 93 crashed to request fighters, but it launched his first planes with missiles over an hour after the final hijacked airliner hit the ground."

Rape Story - Phillip D. Zelikow...911 Myth Maker
From the History File - 10/12/07 - Quote of the Day...."When you ask people to revisit the events of 9/11 and reconsider what really happened, you enter the twilight zone of public mythology where people don’t want to rethink unhappy events and where you challenge their personal egos. Did you know that for the same reason that 2/3 of the women raped never report it, 2/3 of the victims of fraud never seek redress either? They find themselves at odds with their own egos; they simply don’t want to admit that they have been so violated or duped. I believe that the story of Philip Zelikow is important to help people beyond their own egos and see how America is being raped." - also posted at AlethoNews

Firefighter Cancer Tied To Ground Zero Exposure, New Study Says
THIS CAN'T BE TRUE!!  -- Remember, our fearless leaders stated --  unequivocally -- over, and over, and over  again....that the air at the WTC complex was safe. 

Just as they stated -- unequivocally -- over, and over, and over  again....that Iraq was trying to import "yellow cake" and aluminum tubes for making nukes, that they had bio-weapons trucks, and tons of poison gas, and were about to launch the "attack of the killer drones" against the peaceful Western nations and so on and so forth. 

And lets not EVER forget during this upcoming tenth anniversary for 9/11 how our fearless leaders have continued to state -- unequivocally -- over, and over, and over  again....that nineteen cave dwelling malcontents, without ANY state support, or ANY warning, managed to attack this country and totally defeat this nation's ENTIRE air force, for more than an hour, while that air force was coincidentally conducting exercises simulating an event just like 9/11....on....9/11.  All by accident!  WOW!  Who would've thunk that could happen? 

So just remember, all you brave "first-responders" out there, and your relatives of course, as you lay dying in utter agony, gasping for your last painful breath of air while coughing up the last of your blood, how it's all just a figment of your collective, over-active, imaginations that the air at the WTC complex was "toxic".

Or so says many of the people you keep voting for....over, and over, and over  again.  - mpg

The Afghanistan War was Planned Months Before the 9/11 Attacks
A quote...."[From an article in the BBC - July 2001] -- A former Pakistani diplomat has told the BBC that the US was planning military action against Osama Bin Laden and the Taleban even before last week's attacks. Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, was told by senior American officials in mid-July that military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October."

NATO's Doctrine Of Collective Security
Related Article - A quote...."The entire NATO arsenal was already on a war footing. In military terms, NATO and the US were already in an advanced state of readiness. Known to military analysts, but never revealed in the Western media, the implementation of a large scale theater war takes at least one year of advanced operational planning, prior to launching of an invasion. Using article 5 of the Wasington Treaty had in all likelihood been contemplated by military planners, as a ptetext for wagin war, prior to 9/11. --  There was no official declaration of war on September 12th. The Alliance waited until 3 days before the invasion to declare war on Afghanistan, a impoverished country which by no stretch of the imagination could have launched an attack against a member state of "The North Atlantic area"." - bold by website editor

So it should come as little surprise that in May last year - four months before the terrorist attacks on Washington and New York - a battle plan for Afghanistan was already being reviewed by the US Command that would carry it out after September 11. Military strategists were highlighting the energy wealth of the Caspian Sea and Central Asia and its importance to America's "security"." - bold by website editor

Where was Rumsfeld During the 9/11 Attacks?
A quote...."When President Bush finally agreed to have a "conversation" with the 9-11 commissioners--provided it was not under oath, not recorded, and Cheney was at his side--the account the two top leaders gave was murky and unverifiable. On the crucial matter of whether fighters should be sent up to protect the nation's capital, for example, the final report says that "the Vice President stated that he called the President to discuss the rules of engagement for ordering [air cover]." But, it continues, the two did not order air cover because it would "do no good unless pilots had instructions on whether they were authorized to shoot if the plane would not divert." The job of issuing such instructions belonged to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld."

Globalists to Rebuild [Draw, Quarter and Divide] Libya
A quote...."The war is far from over - in fact, Libya's rebels have yet to actually take Tripoli, with entire sections of the city still being contested. Furthermore, entire cities, including Sirte, Bani Waled, and Libya's entire interior still stand completely under the Libyan government's control and have repelled rebels continuously over the last two weeks even with brutal NATO bombings and the expressed desire to purposefully starve their populations into submission. Despite this, the corporate media has committed to an endless mantra of "the victorious rebels" and are focused, however unrealistically, on quickly "rebuilding Libya." Not surprisingly, this "rebuilding" will be done according to Wall Street and London's designs, not those of the Libyan people."

We will fight and we will make them spend and spend and spend their money until they are gone. I tell you the colonizers will be defeated and so will the traitors. Traitors and agents can't continue existing here because they don't have the ability and they don't have supporters, they are colonizers' agents and the Libyan people won't accept colonizers; no one respects them."

A quote...."These top ten myths are some of the most repeated claims, by the insurgents, and/or by NATO, European leaders, the Obama administration, the mainstream media, and even the so-called “International Criminal Court”—the main actors speaking in the war against Libya. In turn, we look at some of the reasons why these claims are better seen as imperial folklore, as the myths that supported the broadest of all myths—that this war is a “humanitarian intervention,” one designed to “protect civilians”. Again, the importance of these myths lies in their wide reproduction, with little question, and to deadly effect. In addition, they threaten to severely distort the ideals of human rights and their future invocation, as well aiding in the continued militarization of Western culture and society."

Israel's Being Forced To Share....
(Something They Don't Like To Do)
09-01-11 - revised 09-02-11
mpg

This website editor strongly disagrees with the views from some people that NATO and the EU are deliberately encouraging immigration along with the break-up of Middle-Eastern and African tribal structures or relationships by the use of military force. (although they will use these relationships to shatter national states).

In fact they plan the exact opposite, they want to keep the "brown people" resident exactly were they are in the Middle East while encouraging as much ethnic, religious, and tribal strife as they possibly can to further their traditional policies of "divide and conquer". 

What NATO, under the US-NRE's control, which is being directed by the AIPAC/Israeli Consortium, wants to see happen  in the Middle East is the COMPLETE and TOTAL  destruction of ANY competing "nation states" or "national structures" that would pose.... 

1. any curtailment of Israel's fledgling Middle East Mini-Empire, and Israel's planned ethnic cleansing (possibly even extermination) of the Palestinian people, or.... 
2. any impediment to the US-NRE's growing Middle East currency sphere of influence / military empire, and the US-NRE's control of the regions natural resources, or.... 
3. as tasty neo-colonial prizes that can be dangled in front of certain European countries (who should know better), to be torn asunder, dismantled and profitably consumed in the furtherance of objectives (1.) & (2.). 
   

Objective number (3.) is a very recent development, which has taken place only during the last couple of years. 

It seems to have occurred primarily because the US-NRE's parasites, after having determined in consultation with Israel that the US-NRE can no longer afford to safely implement the PNAC Protocols on it's own (it's run out of money), and after having realized that its current economic difficulties not only threaten the very system of Banksterism established by the parasites in 1913 and the Currency Sphere they've been attempting to establish since 1945, but even Israel's control over the US-NRE's political establishment itself, have come to the conclusion that the US-NRE must enlist the help of other nation states in Europe to further Israel's PNAC Protocols while at the same time spreading the economic pain and political burden across Europe's populations.

Israel most assuredly didn't want to allow any of those tasty Middle East tid-bits to be acquired by the Europeans, they wanted them ALL.  But having bankrupted the US-NRE with their various extravagant  schemes, and numbering less than six million people themselves, it appears they had no choice.

They're just going to have to share some of the spoils, booty and bling they had planned to acquire with others....for now. - mpg

More On The Economic Situation....

Why Unemployment Is About To Surge
Charts - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."Let's take a quick look at some numbers: 8, 160, 400, 350, 12 and 5.  There have only been 8 weeks out of last 160 weeks that unemployment claims have been below 400 thousand claims. In normal circumstances we are worried about recessions when claims are rising above 350 thousand claims. Furthermore, jobless claims tend to plunge below 350 thousand a week within 12 months after the end of a recession. Currently we are still holding above 400 thousand claims after more than two full years since the recession statistically ended. -- Those are some pretty ugly numbers, but the most important number is 5. The reason that we think unemployment might move sharply higher is that every time the STA Composite Employment Index drops to a level of 5 or less the economy has been in a recession. Of course, it is during recessions that unemployment claims rise sharply as businesses cut back on their labor force to reduce costs. This is clearly seen in the chart."

It is becoming abundantly clear that market participants are at best befuddled (as Pisani has been so eloquently indicating all day) and at worst missing the point dramatically as fixed income markets are turning their heads to any action by the Fed while equity markets remain more delusional."

Canadian Economy Shrinks For First Time Since 2009; Recession Next?
A quote...."Don't look know but Canada just confirmed the first signal of a recession, after its GDP printed negative (on expectations of an unchanged number) for the first time since Q2 2009, due to a drop in exports and oil output, most of it blamed naturally on "transitory" factors. Odd how the US used the transitory line for months until it all turned out to be permanentory. What, however, is truly hilarious is the continued denial to look facts in the face as confirmed by the following three Canadian sellside analysts, who seem positively giddy that the number was major miss to expectations: their take home, just like as in the case of Canadian banks having some of the lowest TCE ratios in the world: "ignore it." Perhaps when next quarter Canadian GDP prints negative again, and the economy is officially in a recession, then the delightful comedy crew of what passes for "analysts" up north will have some words of caution finally.."

The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Mar­vin's cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines — two key players in the 9/11 attacks. -- The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for many years to the Bush family.

Fukushima Is Continually Blasting All Of Us With High Levels Of Cesium, Strontium And Plutonium And Will Slowly Kill Millions For Years To Come -- Radiation Alert -  A quote...."The crisis at Fukushima is far, far worse than you have been told.  We are talking about multiple self-sustaining nuclear meltdowns that will not be fully contained for years.  In an attempt to keep people calm, authorities in Japan (and around the rest of the world as well) have lied and lied and lied.  Over the months that have passed since the disaster began, small bits of the truth have slowly started to come out.  Authorities are finally admitting that the area immediately surrounding Fukushima will be uninhabitable indefinitely, and they are finally admitting that the amount of radioactive material that has been released is far higher than initially reported.  It is going to take the Japanese years to fully contain this problem.  Meanwhile, Fukushima will continue to blast all of us with high levels of cesium, strontium and plutonium and will slowly kill millions of people around the globe for years to come." - also posted at BLN

Marx, Labor's Dwindling Share of the Economy and the Crisis of Advanced Capitalism
Must Read - A quote...."It is self-evident that conventional economics has failed, completely, utterly and totally. The two competing cargo cults of tax cuts/trickle-down and borrow-and-spend stimulus coupled with monetary manipulation have failed to restore advanced Capitalism's vigor, not just in America, but everywhere. -- Conventional econometrics is clueless about the root causes of advanced finance-based Capitalism's ills. To really understand what's going on beneath the surface, we must return to "discredited" non-quant models of economics: for example, Marx's critique of monopoly/cartel, finance-dominated advanced Capitalism. ("Capitalism" is capitalized here to distinguish it from "primitive capitalism.") " - A related quote shown below.....

It would appear that along with every 401(k) holder, TBTF CEO, and CNBC anchor, even CEO/CFOs are now hoping for more QE. - If earnings are 'the mother's milk of stock returns', then management are increasingly reducing that flow of milk as day after day they guide below (lemming-like sell-side) analyst consensus estimates."

Stock Mutual Fund Cash Levels Drop To New All Time Record Low

And with so little cash to bid up stocks even as they plunged (i.e., contrary to the expectation cash did not go up), the very troubling question arises yet again: just where will the purchasing power come from (and no, it's not retail: retail is long gone)."

PIMCO says betting against U.S. debt was a mistake: report
A quote...."(Reuters) - Bill Gross, the manager of the world's largest bond fund, feels like "crying in his beer" for having bet so heavily against U.S. government-related debt earlier this year, the Financial Times reported on Monday." -- Yeah, it's fun to kick someone when he's down.  All because Bill Gross was STUPID enough to actually believe this country still had a "free market".  He, along with all those other idiots who keep trying to short stocks on the exchanges just don't get the fact that this is a centrally planned, and totally rigged, FINANCIAL con-game.  Many also STILL haven't realized yet that if you sit down at any poker table, anywhere in the world, and some of the well-connected players you're playing against have access to UNLIMITED credit at an interest rate of ZERO percent -- which essentially means they can print, (or borrow), what they want, when they want, for as long they want, "at will" -- you will lose the "Game" each and every single time you sit down to play!!  Now that's one guarantee about the "market" you can be absolutely sure of!  - mpg

Dead Letters: More Confirmation of the Mass Murder that Marks the Modern World
Quote of the Day...."Yet another confirmation has come to light of the machinations by the self-professed Christian leaders of the West to manipulate their nations into a murderous war of aggression against Iraq, the Guardian reports. - A letter has come to light confirming the UK government's firm intention to join the United States in the Hitlerian action against Iraq, even if a UN resolution specifically authorizing the action could not be obtained. - In one sense, the new revelation adds nothing to the veritable mountain of evidence we already have of the Western leaders' criminal intent -- much of it directly, and unashamedly, from the principal criminals themselves, in the memoirs from Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others. - But it is useful as a reminder of what is already becoming ancient, irrelevant history to the populace and to the political class: the murder of a million human beings, one of the most heinous crimes of the modern era. - And of course, one primary reason -- perhaps the primary reason -- why this unspeakable atrocity has been so thoroughly buried is the obscene insistence of the Obama Administration to bury, several fathoms deep, all the crimes of its predecessors ... while adding to them with relentless, unflagging energy." - bold by website editor - also posted at DProgram

Ex-Bush Official Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: "I am Willing to Testify" If Dick Cheney is Put on Trial
A quote...."As former Vice President Dick Cheney publishes his long-awaited memoir, we speak to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. "This is a book written out of fear, fear that one day someone will 'Pinochet' Dick Cheney," says Wilkerson, alluding to the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who was arrested for war crimes. Wilkerson also calls for George W. Bush and Cheney to be held accountable for their crimes in office. "I’d be willing to testify, and I’d be willing to take any punishment I’m due," Wilkerson said. We also speak to Salon.com political and legal blogger Glenn Greenwald about his recent article on Cheney, "The Fruits of Elite Immunity." "Dick Cheney goes around the country profiting off of this sleazy, sensationalistic, self-serving book, basically profiting from his crimes, and at the same time normalizing the idea that these kind of policies…are perfectly legitimate choices to make. And I think that’s the really damaging legacy from all of this," says Greenwald. [includes rush transcript] -- ||  Real Video Stream  ||  Real Audio Stream  ||  MP3 Download  ||  More…  ||

The End Of The Long Con

The record for hyperinflation is Hungary where in 1946 monthly inflation reached 12,950,000,000,000,000 percent  –  prices doubled every  15.6 hours. In 1923, Weimar Germany  experienced inflation of 29,525 percent a month, with prices  doubling every 3.7 days. People  burned Marks for heat in the cold Northern German winter. It was cheaper than firewood. The  butter standard was a more reliable form of value than the Mark. The German government took  over newspaper presses to print money, such was the demand for bank notes. The abiding image  of the Weimar Republic remains of ordinary Germans in search of food pushing wheelbarrows filled with wads of worthless money."

Europe's Ponzi Takes A Twist For The Wacky: Greek Bank Equity To Be Used As Loan Collateral

"....is well known: we have frequently succumbed to vertigo trying to chart just how interconnected Europe's financial system is at the current point where €1 in incremental capital is supposed to prop up a multi-trillion pyramid scheme. But the just released news from the Handeslblatt demonstrates that just when we thought we had seen it all, Europe once again manages to surprise us. As is by now well-known, Finland has proven to be quite a stick in the spokes of the joint-European can kicking exercise by, prudently, demanding collateral, or threatening to walk out of the second Greek bailout (that 1 year Greek bonds are trading at 60%+ yields is irrelevant). Well, here's the solution - give them collateral... in the form of insolvent Greek bank shares, which however will be "partially nationalized" as if that will suddenly push their value higher. Supposedly the Finns never clarified that the collateral has to have some liquidation "value."  Oh well, better luck next time."

How 9/11 was done
From the History File - October 28, 2008 -- A quote....""9/11 was a master plot, concocted by a handfull of Israelis and dual passport Americans and carried out by the resources of the Mossad. -- Larry Silverstein leases a nearly worthless dinosaur WTC building complex (worthless due to the asbestos the buildings were stuffed with and needed to be cleaned up, the cost of which may have rivaled the value of the buildings themselves) weeks before 9/11, makes sure it is over insured against terrorist acts and hires an Israeli security firm. From that moment on the coast is clear to let a team of demolition experts from the Israeli army led by Peer Segalovitz into the WTC buildings. These charges plus detonators had been prepared at the premises of the Urban Moving Systems company, a Mossad front. During the weeks before 9/11 these prepared charges were loaded into vans, driven into the basements of WTC Twin Towers next to the elevator shaft, unloaded into the elevator, and lifted onto the roof of the elevator through the opening in the elevator ceiling. Next the elevator moved from floor to floor while charges where being attached to the columns as displayed in this video from 0:22 onwards. The detonators of these charges were radiographic controlled and finally detonated from WTC7 on the day of 9/11"

The Anglo-Euro-Banks Credibility Crisis Deepens....

A Monetary Maze From Which There Is No Easy Escape
Quote of the Day -- A quote...."It has been almost three years since the Federal Reserve took its interest rates to 1% and most recently to zero. This allows member banks to borrow money at no cost. The Fed lends to large banks with little or no control, so that these banks, some of which are owners of the Fed, can really do as they please. The Fed even lends at zero and re-borrows from these banks at a higher level, guaranteeing the banks a riskless profit. Those profits would have gone to the US Treasury and the American taxpayer. These profits for the most part are the result of the creation of money and credit by the Fed. The banks are so overjoyed regarding the results that the Fed has told them that it will keep the current policy for at least the next two years. The banks as a result are making big speculative profits to offset their gigantic losses, while at the same time the economy falls deeper into inflationary depression. This is the tyranny of our almost 100 year old privately owned banking system." -- also posted at DProgram & IntelHub

More On The Economic Situation....

What's Going On With The Economy?
Special Note - A quote...."August 29, 2011 "Information Clearing House" -- -There's a very good post over at Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis today. ("US in recession right here, right now") Blogger Mike Shedlock makes the case that the economy may already be in recession. It's all matter of whether if one uses the the consumer price index (CPI) or the the BEA's measure of price inflation to make their calculations. There's a fair amount of technical jargon to wade through in the article, but the charts are pretty persuasive and--if nothing else--they reinforce most people's suspicions that the economy is getting worse by the day. -- It's too bad we don't have a financial media that's willing to explain what's going on in simple terms, but we don't. Instead, we're deluged with daily datapoints that have little meaning to the average working slob who just wants to know whether he's going to have a job tomorrow or if the company he works for is going to pack-it-in and head for Shandong Province."

Dallas Fed Latest Economic Contraction Confirmation; Survey Respondents' Gloom Soars
Charts - (click till enlarged) - A quote...."The second economic disappointment of the day comes from the Dallas Fed, which dropped from -2.0 to -11.4 on expectations of -9.0- this was the 4th consecutive negative print month. The report was, in a word, horrible, with just 2 of the 15 constituent indices posting an increase, and the bulk solidly in the red, led by Unfilled and New Orders which dropped 16.8 and 11.2, respectively: not good for economic growth. On the employment side there was nothing good either, with both employment and hours worked declining by -6.7 and -10.1, respectively....."

A Japanese-style scenario for the US could gain traction, particularly if there is no real estate recovery in the US, high unemployment levels persist, and economic sentiment remains depressed."

How The Economy Quietly Entered A Recession On Friday, And Why The GDP Predicts A Sub-Zero Nonfarm Payroll Number - Charts - (click  till  enlarged) -- A quote...."While the key market moving event from last Friday may have been Bernanke's Jackson Hole speech which merely left the door open to future QE episodes, the most important event from an economic standpoint was the first GDP revision Q2, which dropped from preliminary 1.3% to a sub stall speed, in real terms, 1.0%. What is just as important is that as the following chart from Bloomberg demonstrates, the YoY change in real GDP, which is now at 1.5%, is a slam dunk indicator of recession: "Since 1948, every time the four-quarter change has fallen below 2 percent, the economy has entered a recession."

"At best, the top US generals tasked with defending the skies above America failed miserably on September 11, 2001. Dereliction of duty, resulting in the death of even one person, is a serious court martial offense. At worst, US Generals Myers, Arnold, Eberhart and Weaver, among many others, were guilty of something far greater. NORAD and the Pentagon chiefs not only failed, but apparently intended to fail, to protect the skies above America, resulting in the deaths of nearly 3,000 citizens."

"Never fight the Fed they say.  If Bernanke is serious about no QE3, and with inventories full, the market having experienced a two and a half year rally, PE's at all time highs, leverage at all time highs, profit margins now undergoing a significant squeeze due to prices paid vs received, a second housing dip, more tightening in state and federal budgets, and other indications that all this loose money for the last two and a half years has not only run its course, but has actually substantially worsened the economic foundations of this nation's economy, than things indeed could go South in a hurry."

"Such an outcome may negatively effect commodities, specifically gold and silver.  Such a contraction may also affect the world's economy, driving many investors back to the supposed "safety" (hah!) of the USD and US bonds.  In which case Bill Gross of Pimco may want to rethink his recently established market positions."

"On the other hand people are rapidly losing any faith they may have had in the rationality of this government, or the people that run it. Making them more likely to find alternative places to keep their capital "safe", such as gold, silver and anything that is NOT a USD based financial instrument."
