A guide for learning about how fucked up the system is assuming limited prior knowledge

Introduction There is so much material surrounding this subject there will be important things I've left out or forgotten. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ask when you get a question as i will be able to find something that helps answer it. It will also make this guide better for others. Enjoy! Firstly one needs to understand the true nature of money, and how money is created and destroyed in the modern world. Modern money mechanics is a reference in the film, there is no need to read this lengthy document but just understand it's implications and what fiat money is. The true history of the world is the history of money. Follow the cash. Money = power. The secret of Oz is an abridged version of the money masters. Once you know that the amount of debt created by interest is not covered by the actual money in the system (the principle), and what fiat money is, you will begin to understand. Secondly you need a perspective of how we got into this mess. You may want to look at the NWO section next, but if not you will come back yo it later. The important thing to understand next is about the amount of money in the world, the derivatives market, (CDO, CDS, etc) leverage and what it means for fiat money. The news is full of important articles at the mo as things are really hotting up. The most important news recently was that of MF Global, because it will basically set a precedent for banks to reach into customer funds and plain steal. Lots of discussion around this so go check it out. Main upshot:- investors money isn't safe in a place that should be safe BY LAW, so investors may put their money into safer assets (Gold and PMs (precious metals)). When you understand what might happen, how it will happen is the obvious next question. We may be able to guess from history - Gonzalo Lira explains this quite nicely, and the point of this section is to understand the Hyperdeflationary vs Hyperinflationary forces at work on the globalised economy. This helps to understand a possible chain of events - explained nicely by zerohedge. Gold. Silver. Your two bastions of hope in this world. Understand why both have been manipulated. Understand that when you buy an ETF (Exchange Traded Fund, so GLD or SLV) you

are not buying gold or silver. In fact, the amount of bullion you buy is so leveraged up that only 0.3% of the ETF is backed by bullion. So only 0.3% of customers could actually take delivery of physical bullion before there is nothing to back up the entire exchange, and the rest would be screwed. Understand that gold is money. Iran selling oil to India for gold is a statement as such. Banks are currently trying to claw back physical gold bullion held overseas (http://www.goldmadesimplenews.com/gold/babaloynian-queen-nitetis%E2%80%99-message-tothe-germans-4844/). Central banks are stockpilling it. So much info on gold out there. Silver could be the investment of the century. It could run out - understand why. Why and how is silver different to gold?? I personally own both types of physical bullion. Understand money and 'Modern Money Mechanics', Rigged Markets, Manipulation, Fraud.

Gold Bullio n or Cash -

This will be a Zero Hedge article soon, but for those who aren't aware of it, David Stockman's gone full Defcon on the Fed Ponzi & an imminent economic meltdown, warning of absolute carnage, with a full & intentional interview with the AP/USA Today. And yes, he owns gold, saying essentially that it's risk free, and will important to hold in the period that lay ahead. From the other thread I posted this in: David Stockman has gone all in on calling the Federal Reserve 'out of options' and stating that the shit's going to hit the fan (if you don't know Stockman's resume, you should, and this is incredible stuff). Is he right, wrong, lying, putting a warning out there....???? I don't know. I know he was as high ranking as it gets as an economic adviser to a sitting President of the United States. I know that when someone like this comes forward in an intentional shout out in the loudest way possible, through the AP Wire Service (which makes its way onto every front page of every newspaper), something is probably afoot: D David Stockman economy Q&A: Economic disaster in the works --USA TODAY Stockman: "Here's the heart of the matter. The Fed is a patsy. It is a pathetic dependent of the big Wall Street banks, traders and hedge funds. Everything (it does) is designed to keep this rickety structure from unwinding. If you had a (former Fed Chairman) Paul Volckerrunning the Fed today 7/8 utterly fearless and independent and willing to scare the hell out of the market any day of the week you wouldn't have half, you wouldn't have 95 percent, of the speculative positions today. Q: You sound as if we're facing a financial crisis like the one that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. A: Oh, far worse than Lehman. When the real margin call in the great beyond arrives, the carnage will be unimaginable. Q: How do investors protect themselves? What about the stock market? A: I wouldn't touch the stock market with a 100-foot pole. It's a dangerous place. It's not safe for men, women or children. Q: Do you own any shares? A: No. Q: But the stock market is trading cheap by some measures. It's valued at 12.5 times expected earnings this year. The typical multiple is 15 times. A: The typical multiple is based on a historic period when the economy could grow at a standard rate. The idea that you can capitalize this market at a rate that was safe to capitalize it in 1990 or 1970 or 1955 is a large mistake. It's a Wall Street sales pitch. Q: Are you in short-term Treasurys? A: I'm just in short-term, yeah. Call it cash. I have some gold. I'm not going to take any risk. Q: Municipal bonds?

A: No. Q: No munis, no stocks. Wow. You're not making any money. A: Capital preservation is what your first, second and third priority ought to be in a system that is so jerry-built, so fragile, so exposed to major breakdown that it's not worth what you think you might be able to earn over six months or two years or three years if they can keep the bailing wire and bubble gum holding the system together, OK? It's not worth it."

We can make a great argument that platinum is a great investment with soaring industrial demand. We can argue that gold is a great investment with soaring monetary demand. However, silver is the only metal in the world where both arguments can be made, silver is an industrial metal, jewelery, and a monetary safe haven just like gold. What most people dont know is that right now there is less above ground available silver than there is gold, thats right, there is less silver than gold. This trend of consuming silver and saving in gold isnt going to stop, the above ground supply for gold will continue to grow, while the above ground supply for silver will continue to move us towards a physical silver shortage. Silver is without at doubt the most important metal in the world, yet most people when they think about the uses for silver, think of jewelry, silverware, and photography. However, this barely scratches the surface for the uses for silver, in fact, we could write an entire book on just the different applications silver is involved in. Below are some of the uses for silver that will help continue to grow demand for physical silver. FutureMoneyTrends.com wants everyone to understand that silver is all around you, whether you are talking on the phone, driving in your car, or looking for something to eat in your refrigerator, silver is in more products than you can imagine. Silver Antibacterial Bandages Silver has germicidal effects that kill many lower organisms. The colloidal or ionic silver is a silver solution that is an antibacterial product now sold on special band aids. For years, burn wards have soaked bandages in low concentrations of silver solution in order to prevent infection. Silver has been used to preserve and help save the skin of burn victims. Silver also promotes the production of cells, helping to heal wounds faster. Washing Machines Not what you are thinking, so please dont start taking apart your old washing machine looking for silver. The silver we are talking about is in the new Samsung washing machines that inject silver ions into the rinse cycle in order to kill 99.9% of bacteria that causes odors. By using about 1 ounce of silver, these Samsung washing machines can sanitize over 3,000 loads, this means no hot water or bleach necessary, just a dash of silver. Food Processing Silver based food packaging liners that preserve food quality made by Agion. Using an active ingredient of silver zeolite, which is a delivery system that dispenses silver metal ions in a controlled release over time, the silver is able to disrupt microbe growth by interrupting ribonucleic acid that is needed for an organism to reproduce. Water Storage According to David Eaton, secretary of The Institute of Water Ionization Technologies in the UK, silver based water purification systems offer the most reliable and cost effective alternative to chlorine. In fact, both Russian scientists and NASA concluded that the best method for long term water purification was using silver as the purifying agent. Silver kills bacteria in the water and is able to help maintain the purity over a long period of time. Have you ever wanted to store water? Put a few drips of colloidal silver and kill over 650 known bacteria that can grow in your stored water. On cruise ships and airplanes, they often make sure there is some silver in their water tanks for this very reason. Silver was even used in the 1980s in the United Kingdom to help stop the spread of Legionnaires disease, a disease named after Legionella pneumophilia, an aquatic organism. Oxygen Machines Since silver will not ignite, if you want to avoid a spark turning into an explosion, then you need to use silver. When it comes to hospitals handling pure oxygen at high pressure in liquid form, in order to avoid it becoming dangerous, the equipment used to transport the oxygen is made at least in part with silver. Auto-catalyst In 2008, Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co Ltd announced that it had developed a new catalyst for diesel engine cars. This new auto-catalyst replaces the use of platinum with silver, platinum as we write this is about 48 times more expensive than silver, so you can see that this will be a lasting change and new use for silver. At the time of the announcement, a spokesperson for Mitsui stated that silver will totally replace platinum in this new auto-catalyst that weve developed. Cell Phones

There is about 80 cents worth of silver in the average cell phone. In fact, the metal contents in cell phones is very precious, having all 4 precious metals in them, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver. Solar Panels Approximately 1 ounce of silver is in each solar panel you see on residential roofs. Without a doubt one of the fastest growing industrial uses for silver is photovoltaic cells in solar panels, in 1999 the amount of silver used in this industry was so small there isnt even an official reporting of the number. However, 10 years later that number hit 18 million ounces, and last year for 2011, 70 million ounces were used. David Morgan, editor of The Morgan Report who runs the website www.Silver-Investor.com feels that solar demand could reach 130 million ounces per year around 2014. In fact, Jessica Cross, CEO of the VM Group believes that solar panels will probably be one of the leading industrial uses for silver. Silver is crucial in photovoltaic technology, silver helps collect electrons for the electrical current and transports them out of the module for power use. Architecture Glass Silver is used in the windows of skyscrapers in order to reflect away over 90% of the heat from sunlight. Silver, more than any other metal is the best reflector of light which is one of the reasons it is used in mirrors. Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) Chips This industry will one day replace bar codes, already being used at the largest retailer in the world, Wal-Mart. RFID tags have a very thin silver foil that is used as a high-performance receiver. This technology is basically a tag with a mini-antenna that saves data and is able to emit a radio wave in order to send information to a central processor. Basically, retailers and manufactures who want to know more about their products and have a more efficient flow of goods after leaving their possession, can now have these RFID tags placed on their products. For example, U.S. department of State uses RFID chips in all new American passports. Now the passports can be scanned by the authorities, who will see your personal information that should match the same information on paper. RFID chips have been controversial for civil rights groups, however, ignoring that side of the RFID chip and just focusing on the silver content, you can see that these are becoming very popular and will add to the growing silver demand. We should note that the amount of silver in RFID chips is so small that once used to make one, the silver is literally gone, it will not be recycled or used for any other purpose. Medical Uses Silver compounds have a toxic effect on some bacteria, algae, fungi, and even some viruses. The use for silver goes back to the very beginning, the father of medicine, Hippocrates wrote that silver had beneficial healing and anti disease properties. Silver was also used to prevent infection during war time before antibiotics were used. Batteries Silver oxide-zinc is used in batteries for digital cameras, watches, and phones. Recently it was announced that all Apple products will be using silver oxide-zinc batteries. Electronics The use of silver in electronics is widespread and is used in almost all electronics you have in your home, from your television to your computer. Circuit breakers, switches, and fuses all use electrical components using silver. The odds are if something has a power on button, then it has some silver in it. Silver Bearings Silver bearings in engines have become essential components in Jet engines. Steel ball bearings that are electroplated with silver become the strongest type of bearing in the industry. As noted before, silver is able to withstand high temperatures which makes it perfect for the bearings in jet engines. According to the silver institute, even in the event of an oil pump failure, silver-plated bearings provide enough lubrication to allow a safe engine shutdown. Automotive Throughout your vehicle you have electronics, from opening your windows to adjusting your seats. Your engine has silver and even your antifreeze has ethylene oxide, a compound made from silver. The Uses For Silver List The list for silver uses can go on and on and on. Silver is also used in lasers, satellites, robotics, high-tech weaponry, TVs, refrigerators, wall switches, photography, glasses, brazing, soldering, cloud seeding, wood preservation, musical instruments, automotive industry, explosives, dental filings, methanol production, nuclear reactors, Xray machines, polyester, deodorant, disinfectants, catheters, and thousands of other applications. Catalyst One of the largest uses for silver is in industries like the production of plastics, where silver is used as a catalyst. Approximately 150 million ounces of silver was used last year in order to produce ethylene oxide and formaldehyde, both used to make plastics. Formaldehyde is the chemical that is the building block for plastic, so in order to produce plastic, you need silver. So once again, the products of silver are all around you, even if they dont have silver in them, that plastic cup you are drinking out of and the remote control in your hand, both needed silver in order to be created. Silver Is All Around You Where ever you are right now, take a look around you and think about how much silver products are in front of you. For me, Im writing on an Apple Computer, my cell phone is on my desk, and a blue plastic cup is right next to my hand that has a silver wedding band on my ring finger. When I look around the room, I notice that I have a light switch, electrical outlets, and a television. In my desk, I have plastic pens, ink, and a small flashlight. Looking out my office window, I can see my car, in it a rear view mirror, side mirrors, rear window defroster, and of course under the hood is even more silver. All these products have silver in them, or needed silver in order to be created. Now here is the fun part for silver investors, look at a map of the earth at night. Notice the intense light that comes from the U.S., Europe, and Japan. We want you to picture what the amount of silver it takes to produce this amount of light, think about all the other electronics these first world regions have surrounding those lights. As we just described, think about all the silver in bedrooms, vehicles, and on each person. Now look at China and India, with combined populations of 2.5 billion people. This doesnt include the South American or other Asian countries, just these two specific countries. They are going to need skyscrapers, houses, condos, apartments, vehicles, cell phones, water sanitation facilities, and hundreds of thousands of electronics... including plenty of iPhones and iPads. Bullish for Apple, yes, bullish for silver, even more. Silver has so many uses and so many customers, it is very easy to see that if the buyers of silver ever thought there was going to be a shortage, the price could have a historic run. We are not talking about individuals, we are talking about the Apples of the world, who in the future may come into the silver market in order to protect their own businesses from delays caused by a silver shortage. 20th Century Most of these new uses for silver are from the 20th century. Prior to this, silver had a very limited role for industrial uses, silver was mainly used for money, jewelery, and in the 19th century photography. Of the 46 billion ounces of silver ever mined in history, only about 1 billion remains above ground. A very large amount of the above ground available supply of silver was consumed in the past 60 years. FutureMoneyTrends.com believes what we saw in the 20th century is nothing compared to what we will see in the 21st century, with electronics and 7 billion people all desiring to live the lifestyle of the west, the above ground available supply should get completely consumed over the next 10 years. Silver Vs. Other Metals As you can see, the arguments made for silver cant be made for any other metal. That is why when people suggest to us to diversify into physical platinum or palladium, we always suggest back to them to buy more physical silver. If you want to own a precious or industrial metal, silver is King. If you think the economy is going to collapse and we will all be living in a mad max world, then you definitely want to own some silver to barter with, silver after all is the most used monetary metal in world history. If you think the economy is going to boom and the 1990s is just around the corner, then you want to own silver. Industrial demand will soar as the rest of the world becomes industrialized. The Chinese want cars, cell phones, and other electronics just like the west, which means the largest population in the world needs a lot more silver. The entire world will need a lot more silver, so the question is, can new mining keep up with demand?

We don't think so, though we are bullish on ALL metals, the fact is nothing will beat silver over the next 10 years. The opportunity in owning silver and silver mining companies is epic.

The Coming Paradigm Shift In Silver - http://www.silverseek.com/article/comingparadigm-shift-silver Blythe Masters and Silver Manipulation - http://maxkeiser.com/2012/04/06/itspeaks/#comments - Taken form Chris at the Weekly Telegram, I agree with this analysis, and here it is.
April 5, 2012

Recently Blythe Masters did an interview on CNBC but I think she exposed the game of ponzi musical chairs without even realizing it. Here is some of what she said in the interview and it may finially shine light into what is really going on in the commodity markets, especially silver.

When customers store their metal in our institution, they hedge it on a forward basis through JP Morgan, who in turn hedges itself through the commodity markets

And here lies the answer to the great silver manipulation. Blythe just told us what exactly is happening. Let me explain. First she says that customers store their metal in JP Morgan, and then those same customers hedge it. Why would someone own metal, yet then offset their position? Why own the metal in the first place? You want to know why? Because it is either the Federal Reserve or the US Government who is storing the metal, then that same entity is shorting the exact same amount in the paper market as to not move and disrupt the market. So the US government is buying physical silver and storing it at JP Morgan, then the US government is shorting that same amount in the paper market through JP Morgan. But then Blythe says JP Morgan in turn hedges itself through the commodity markets. Wait a second. If the entity who is storing physical is then hedging that physical position, what and why is JP Morgan then hedging? Answer: They are front running the Federal Reserve or the US Government at the US taxpayer expense. This is how Jamie Dimon gets $20 million dollar bonuses. So the bigger JP Morgans short position in silver gets, the larger the US Government or Federal Reserves physical long position really is.

We have no stake in whether prices rise or decline

Exactly. JP Morgan could care less what happens to silver. They are just the broker reaping huge fees off all of the trades and even bigger fees front running the large entity who is doing the hedging. It all makes perfect sense now. But then you might be asking, if the government is shorting all these paper silver contracts, who is on the other end of the trade? Well, its that same government because they own the offsetting physical asset. Then you may ask, thats impossible, how do they accumulate all this silver for free? Ah ha. Its free for them, not for you. The government is printing up the money and buying it. The taxpayer is footing the bill through both inflation. This would also explain why the CFTC is not enforcing position limits on silver. If they did, this game would be over and exposed. This is just a transfer of wealth from the taxpayer to JP Morgan using either the Federal Reserve or the Treasury Department as the conduit.

It was totally obvious that this interview was staged. Blythe was totally unfazed by the questions and didnt even have to think of the answers. They were perfectly crafted by treasury department lawyers who advised her. CNBC is now an arm of the government. Everything Blythe actually said was perfectly correct. The only question that everyone should now be asking is not about the manipulation of silver, but who is JP Morgans biggest client of physical silver. I can guarantee you it is the US Government. A freedom of information request should be used by journalists to find out this client. But sadly, investigative journalists do not exist in the United States anymore. Its up to bloggers to obtain an answer to who this client is and push this issue.

9/11 - false flag attack - war on terrorism etc. This is contentious and a big conspiracy. However, in the lack of real hard evidence and with the tsunami of unanswered questions and the involvment of players with conflicts of interest, i have reason to believe that this event was at least known about before it happened. Look at all the stuff online. It has undoubtedly been a great out come for America.

Max Keiser (and Stacy Herbert by extension)- http://maxkeiser.com/ Steve Keen - http://www.debtdeflation.com/blogs/

In December 2005, drawing heavily on his 1995 theoretical paper and convinced that a financial crisis was fast approaching, Keen went high-profile public with his analysis and predictions. He registered the webpage www.debtdeflation.com dedicated to analyzing the global debt bubble, which soon attracted a large international audience. At the same time he began appearing on Australian radio and television with his message of approaching financial collapse and how to avoid it. In November 2006 he began publishing his monthly
DebtWatch Reports (33 in total). These were substantial papers (upwards of 20 pages on average) that applied his previously developed analytical framework to large amounts of empirical data. Initially these papers analyzed the Global Financial Collapse that he was predicting and then its realization. Among his key conclusions are:

capitalist expectations of profit during booms can lead them to incur more debt than the system is capable of financing (p.633). a breakdown results when there is a debt-induced recession, leading some capitalists to go

bankrupt and lenders to write off bad debts and suffer capital losses (p.633). a rise in income inequality (between workers and capitalists) leads to a period of instability and then collapse (p.633). a long period of apparent stability is in fact illusory, and the crisis, when it hits, is sudden occurring too quickly to be reversible by changes to discretionary policy at the time (p.633). the weight of the collapse may be so great that monetary (he specifically mentions lowering interest rates) and fiscal policy are powerless to reverse the trend.
The reason Peter Schiff was so accurate in his predictions was that he had the greatest teacher, his father, Irwin Schiff, who wrote "THE BIGGEST CON" in the mid 70's and outlined the exact reason why this nation is in the ditch today. The book should be in reprint by the hundreds of millions of copies, then loaded on to B-52'S and dropped on all major American cities to wake the people up to the clever deception pulled off by the criminals at the un Federal Reserve Bank. Irwin Schiff was jailed for blowing the whistle on the banking con and the use of fiat currency and fractional reserve ponzi banking along with the I.R.S. illegal income extraction code. His pardon would be the first step of a grateful nation, then erect a monument to his honesty in the face of monumental deceit and fraud by the criminals in their off shore banking cartel running our money through their laundry machines.

Epilogue - Quotes "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to

complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. We are doomed. " --John Derbyshire "It is the rare fortune of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks. The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government. They plunder, they slaughter, and they steal: this they falsely name Empire, and where they make a wasteland, they call it peace." --Gaius Cornelius Tacitus (ca. 56ca. 117), Roman orator, lawyer, and senator. He is considered one of antiquity's greatest historians. A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague. --Marcus Tullius Cicero regarding the danger of internal subversion. In a speech to the Roman Senate, as recorded by Sallust We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that we used when we created them. -- Albert Einstein I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. -- Albert Einstein Only a revolution in the mind of the individual is needed to accomplish the greatest stroke for freedom of all time. It is a remarkable fact that no constitution of any state, nor any declaration of human rights, has ever proclaimed the right of freedom of money issue. Yet this right is inseparable from the right of bargain or exchange, which is the very foundation of liberty. Man's ignorance of the laws of money has blinded him to the very touchstone of freedom. You are indeed sovereign, if you but realize that your money power is your sovereign power. You need no political laws to liberate your power for prosperity and peace; you are the master of your fate by natural law, if you but discover that law. As you scan the world scene with all its miseries, its drab outlook, the discouraging prospect of a solution for humanity's problems by political means, and the remoteness from you of the capitols through which promised salvation is desperately hoped for, you are saddened by a sense of frustration. But if you realize that the citadel of power is your own home and that yours is the majesty and sovereignty, sadness will be dispelled by gladness. To bring this transformation, you must comprehend the power of money and that you are the money power. ~ E.C. Riegel, monetary theorist - The New Approach to Freedom 1949

"Equally as critical today to the futures of the younger generation is the choice they will make about education today. The younger generation can choose to enroll in a prestigious university, accrue considerable debt, and graduate to a bleak employment landscape, OR they can seek other options, avoid accruing debt, and be much better prepared to survive the next ten years. The decisions the younger generation make about education TODAY based upon their understanding (or lack thereof) of the hugely fraudulent financial games that Central Banks and governments are engaging in today will likely determine if they prosper or suffer for the rest of their lives. Reality may not be as pleasant as rose-colored glasses, but reality will determine if one achieves success and considerable wealth during the second phase of this economic crisis while others lose their nest eggs." - JS Kim - SmartKnowledgeU - oh yes

"The job of any entrepreneur is to construct a use case and a business case that allow them to make money, given the current constraints of society and technology. They do not get to dismantle civil liberties, even if they cant make money otherwise. " RF
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -- Winston Churchill

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves." - Henry David Thoreau
Coexistence on this tightly knit earth should be viewed as an existence not only without wars but also without [the government] telling us how to live, what to say, what to think, what to know, and what not to know. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, from a speech given September 11, 1973 Educated men are as much superior to uneducated men as the living are to the dead. Aristotle, 384322 B.C.
Man hands on misery to man, It deepens like a coastal shelf, Get out as early as you can, And dont have any kids yourself! - Larkin

There are no beginnings and no ends. These are human concepts. Just a mixing and separating of matter.

A little math on gold:

so Derivatives to gold is x88.37. bullion backing up ETFs is 0.3% - so x300. (WHERE THE HELL IS THIS PIECE? ZEROHEDGE???) real infaltion-adjusted price of gold should be ~$2500 now, but with more printing just announced that figure should probably be more like $2,700 or more. price today is $1,730

(also currently every 3 minutes $6,400,000 is minted into existence, but only $400,000 of gold is mined in the same time. That is a ration of about 16:1.)

so for $71,579,700 an ounce gold it'd have to go up by 41,375 times, or over 4 million percent increase! But i doubt it. Remember although the Dollar is used throughout the world, South America is largely out of it (They learnt their lessons from the Jackals in the CIA - pre Gulf war), and not all of these factors will come together to affect the price quite so drastically. However, you could see the leverage in the manipulated price unwind, and maybe some effect from derivatives unwinding too. Conservative estimates are around $10,000 to $20,000. $56,000 has been argued, but i think it'll only be that LOW if some leverage is left in the system, which i guess is likely. The case for silver is even better. Typically the ration of Silver to Gold in a gold standard is 15:1. It has been 12:1 before now. Today it stands at over 50:1. That means if a gold standard were introduced, there could be 3 or maybe 4 times as much of a gain in silver over gold if silver was to come back to somewhere near these ratios! Silver is also USED UP in industry - 50% of each year's silver goes this way. Gold is largely recycled back into the market. Silver has many more uses, and where it's properties overlap with gold, it is favored for its relative cheapness. It is used in all these iPhones, in solar tech, in medice, sunglasses (to bounce off UV), in catalytic converters, industry - the list goes on. The manipulation in silver is such that no-one knows what price it could acheive. There is even talk of it pretty much being 'extinct' by 2020. The first element in this kind of situation. Max keiser is calling for $500 silver, and others too. Today's price is about $34. This could represent a 1500% increase. Already leading experts are saying it could double (go to around $70) this year. If you think this is pie in the sky, then look how many German Marks it took to buy an ounce of physical in Weimar Germany. Is that 87 Trillion??

The interesting part is the time between Jan 1921 and Jan 1923. The inflation started to really go from here. In ONE YEAR (Jan 22 23) the amount of money went up by nearly a factor of 100. 10,000%. Giles January 27th 2012

Bad People

Alan Greenspan As Chairman of the Federal Reserve System from 1987 to 2006, Alan Greenspan both led the over expansion of money and credit that created the bubble that burst and

aggressively promoted the view that financial markets are naturally efficient and in no need of regulation. Milton Friedman Friedman propagated the delusion, through his misunderstanding of the scientific method, that an economy can be accurately modeled using counterfactual propositions about its nature. This, together with his simplistic model of money, encouraged the development of fantasy-based theories of economics and finance that facilitated the Global Financial Collapse. Larry Summers As US Secretary of the Treasury (formerly an economist at Harvard and the World Bank), Summers worked successfully for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which since the Great Crash of 1929 had kept deposit banking separate from casino banking. He also helped Greenspan and Wall Street torpedo efforts to regulate derivatives.

With piracy and struggles over intellectual property in the news daily, it is time to wonder about this issue, its relationship to freedom, property rights, and efficiency. You have to think seriously about where you stand. In 2001 with the publication of Stephan Kinsellas article and now monograph Against Intellectual Property. He made a strongly theoretical argument that ideas are not scarce, do not require rationing, are not diminished by their dissemination, and so cannot really be called property. All IP is unjust, he wrote. It is inconsistent with libertarian ethics and contrary to a free market. He favors the complete repeal of all intellectual-property laws.

As SOPA is flavour of the day - here's more on copyright. Understand why copyright is out of control and should be either severly limited or abolished, for the good of mankind. Professor Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Law School: As weve seen, our constitutional system requires limits on copyright as a way to assure that copyright holders do not to heavily influence the development and distribution of our culture. Copyrights have not expired, and will not expire, so long as Congress is free to be bought to extend them again. In these times, the hardest task for social or political activists is to find a way to get people to wonder again about what we all believe is true. The challenge is to sow doubt. If the internet teaches us anything, it is that great value comes from leaving core resources in a commons, where theyre free for people to build upon as they see fit. So uncritically do we accept the idea of property in culture that we dont even question when the control of that property removes our ability, as a people, to develop our culture democratically. WB7: If you are looking for cogent reading on the subject of the role of intellectual property rights in a wired democracy, I strongly recommend Professor Lessigs writings. They can be obtained readily online.

BANKSY ON ADVERTISING
Posted on 20 February 2012 by Dave Trott

(This via the blog Adland. )

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply youre not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. Its yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it.

Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially dont owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, dont even start asking for theirs. ~ Banksy

Personally Im with Banksy on this. We do come uninvited into peoples lives. If we cant do that in an amusing, informative, fun way, we shouldnt do it at all. If were interrupting their newspaper, barging our way into their living rooms, annoying them on their laptops, defacing their landscape. If thats all were doing, no wonder they dont like it. I wouldnt. You wouldnt. Banksy says were intruding. Fair enough, we are. And when we do that, the only way to get away with it is to do something they like. Make it a fun, enjoyable experience. Thats just polite. Anything else is rude, boorish and crass. Just like the sales calls we get at home, when were in the middle of something else. They dont care what were doing, they just want us to shut up and be sold to. No wonder we get angry. And advertising like that is just the same. It deserves to be defaced, switched off, or ignored. No wonder 90% of it doesnt work.

Most advertising is just visual pollution.

Purchasers of miners are often gold bugs. I think that gold bugs are often people who believe that the shit is going to hit the fan. Miners are stocks, and as such, they will likely drop if there is a big drop in the general stock price. Ergo, the miners will fall when the shtf. Ergo, wait to buy miners until after the shtf. ... and then, these same folks, like myself, are disappointed when the miners don't shoot up like hell ...

This picture is in danger or giving 'socialism' a bad name. Terminology can be misleading and a plethora or terminology can confuse as people do not necessarily have the same underlying understanding of each term. As was said, socialism is the other side of capitalism, but in a fair society a mix of the two is needed, with regulation in the right places to stop exploitation of the innocent. Obviously some things should be available to all people (emergency care for example) as this is in line with our compassion for others as a species (i hope!). However a fair meritocracy is unfortunately, the fairest way to distribute the fruits of labour fairly. Unfortunately, as i have come to believe, The ongoing fairness of this system relies on all participants being savvy enough to stop any manifestations (laws) of greed and evil at conception, or at least to stop them being integrated into the system. Unfortunately, my faith in that actually happening is zero. Therefore, society will always be governed or captured by the few interests at the top for their own ends, as they have the power, the time and the desire to do so. This, ultimately leads to the kind of social imbalances in society we are seeing today, wealth transfer to the few, and eventually, revolution. Till it all happens again. Did I miss something?
