FINANCIALS – YOUR POCKETBOOK IS IN DANGER


The stock market is in total chaos, up one moment down the next, but the losses will continue to gain as people begin to realize the scam operations being played on them.

Latest from John Williams, one of the few real experts out there that tells it exactly the way it is:

- Economic Reality versus Illusion: No Recovery, Just Plunge, Stagnation and Renewed Plunge
- Re-Intensifying Downturn Already Underway
- Confluence of Negative Surprises, Including New Business and Systemic Woes, Should Hit U.S. Dollar and Spike Inflation
- Hyperinflation to Intensify Unfolding Depression
- Gold as a Store-of-Wealth and Safe-Haven Remains Primary Hedge for Maintaining Purchasing Power of Wealth and Assets


Beware the coming weeks – things can get totally out of control as the international crimination banking cartels make their move to take total control over planet Earth. Inasmuch as Jesus Christ said you cannot serve both Mammon and God, you know which side these folks are on!!

And this:

“The US in now slowly entering its hyperinflation phase.  Food prices are already up 19% in the first three months of 2014.  On an annualized basis that is 76% which is a clear sign that hyperinflation is already starting....”

And this from King World News:

“The entire global economy now clings precariously to one crucial phenomenon -- how much longer can the central banks of the developed world artificially suppress interest rates at near zero percent?
The violently-negative market reaction to Janet Yellen's comments during her first press conference was a clear indication of how vulnerable the stock market is to the eventual reality of rising interest rates.  All Ms. Yellen did was remind investors that the Fed Funds Rate would have to be moved up from zero percent—probably beginning in the middle of next year.  That was enough to send the major averages cascading downward faster than you could say the words “flash trading.”

And this:

“In essence, the entire economy will collapse.  Perhaps this is the real reason why the Fed found it expedient to completely remove the numerical unemployment rate target for when it would begin rising rates.  Let’s be clear; the Fed is ending QE not because the economy has reached the inflation and unemployment goals it set out to achieve, but rather from fear of the monstrous size of the balance it has created.”

Hold on to your gold and silver – make sure you have physical possession of them:  “But Gold should of course not be seen as a trade but as the best and probably the only way to preserve wealth during the coming destruction of paper money and of wealth.  Gold must of course be held in physical form.  Also, it is absolutely critical to store Gold outside the banking system.

Federal agency pulls back in Nevada ranch standoff, but legal fight remains

Federal agency pulls back in Nevada ranch standoff, but legal fight remains

FoxNews.com
Facebook3153 Twitter1221 Gplus55

The Bureau of Land Management announced Saturday that it has ended its mission to remove illegal cattle from a rural Nevada range after a tense week-long standoff with a rancher and militia supporters, citing a "serious concern" for the safety of employees and the public.
"Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public," the statement read.
Bureau officials had dismantled designated protest areas supporting rancher Cliven Bundy, who they say refuses to comply with the "same laws that 16,000 public land ranchers do every year."
"After 20 years and multiple court orders to remove the trespass cattle, Mr. Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million. The BLM will continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially," the statement said. "We ask that all parties in the area remain peaceful and law-abiding as the Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service work to end the operation in an orderly manner."
A group of about 1,000 supporting Bundy cheered and sang "The Star Spangled Banner" when BLM made its announcement.
The bureau also will release 100 of the seized cattle under a deal announced after protesters, some of them armed with handguns and rifles, headed for a corral outside Mesquite in an attempt to free all of the seized cattle, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The bureau did not immediately return calls to The Associated Press.
The standoff at the ranch, some 80 miles north of Las Vegas, became an increasingly tense issue the longer it lasted, prompting elected officials in several states to weigh in, militia members to mobilize and federal land managers to reshape elements of the operation. 
The roundup started last Saturday after the BLM and National Park Service shut down an area half the size of Delaware to let cowhands using helicopters and vehicles gather about 900 cattle that officials say are trespassing.
Bundy, 67, and his large family cast their resistance to the roundup as a constitutional stand. He says he doesn't recognize federal authority over state land.
The dispute that triggered the roundup dates to 1993, when the BLM cited concern for the federally protected tortoise. The agency later revoked Bundy's grazing rights.
Bundy claimed ancestral rights to graze his cattle on lands his Mormon family settled in the 19th century. He stopped paying grazing fees and disregarded several court orders to remove his animals.
BLM officials, however, say Bundy owes more than $1.1 million in unpaid grazing fees. 
BLM faced criticism when police used stun guns on one of Bundy's adult sons during a Wednesday confrontation on a state highway near the Bundy melon farm in the Gold Butte area. 
Video of that confrontation spread on the Internet, along with blog commentary claiming excessive government force and calls to arms from self-described militia leaders. Some have invoked references to deadly confrontations with federal authorities, including a siege of a ranch home in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, in 1992 and the fiery destruction of a religious compound near Waco, Texas, that killed 76 people in 1993.
"Our mission here is to protect the protestors and the American citizens from the violence that the federal government is dishing out,” Jim Landy, a member of the West Mountain Rangers, who made the journey from Montana to Nevada, told Fox News Channel. “People here are scared."
Arizona state Rep. Bob Thorpe of Flagstaff said he and state legislators weren't arguing whether Bundy broke laws or violated grazing agreements. Thorpe said the Arizona lawmakers were upset the BLM initially restricted protesters to so-called free speech zones.
Sen. Dean Heller and Gov. Brian Sandoval, both Republicans, have also said they were upset with the way the BLM was conducting the roundup. After the areas were removed Thursday, Sandoval issued a new statement.
"Although tensions remain high, escalation of current events could have negative, long lasting consequences that can be avoided," it said.
Amy Lueders, BLM state director in Nevada, said Friday that two protesters were detained, cited for failure to comply with officers at a barricade on Thursday and released.
That brought the number of arrests to three. Bundy's son, Dave Bundy, was arrested Sunday on State Route 170 and released Monday with citations accusing him of refusing to disperse and resisting arrest.
Lueders said 380 cows were collected by Thursday. She declined to provide a cost estimate for the herding operation.

LAS VEGAS – The Bureau of Land Management has announced it will stop the roundup of cattle owned by rancher Cliven Bundy. The BLM says the animals have been illegally grazing on public lands for 20 years.
The BLM made the announcement Saturday morning, a week after rangers started gathering the animals from land near Gold Butte.
The agency says it is concerned about the safety of its employees and the public. Earlier this week, BLM officers and supporters of the Bundy family were involved in a scuffle. Cliven Bundy’s son, Ammon Bundy, was tased twice by federal agents. Another woman said she was thrown to the ground by an officer.
With more Bundy supporters pouring in from around the country, safety concerns began to grow.
The I-Team has learned the deal to end the gather was brokered by Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
According to sources, the BLM wants to proceed with the sale of the cattle already gathered during the roundup but is reportedly willing to share the revenue from the sale with Bundy.
Sheriff Gillespie has been negotiating with Bundy behind the scenes for months reached a tentative agreement Friday night, though Bundy insisted the sheriff come to his ranch to finalize the arrangement face-to-face.
The two men meet Saturday to discuss the agreement prior to a public announcement.
In its statement, the BLM said its actions this past week were progress in enforcing two court orders to remove the trespassing cattle from public land.
The agency director also asked that everyone involved in the dispute remain peaceful and law-abiding.

A day after Infowars blew the lid on Sen. Harry Reid’s link to the BLM’s land grab of the Bundy Ranch, the Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada, Douglas Gillespie, announced to tremendous applause that the Bureau of Land Management would cease their efforts targeting cattle rancher Cliven Bundy.
In an emotional response, Bundy told the Sheriff he had one hour to disarm the federal agency, to bring the arms to the platform where speeches were made this morning, and to take down their barricades.
Last Saturday, the BLM, with the aid of helicopters, low-flying aircraft and hired cowboys, began rounding up Bundy’s cattle, and forbade him from interfering with the operation, as Bundy announced he was prepared to weather a full-on assault.
The sheriff’s announcement coincided with a press release put out by the BLM today stating that they would back off due to “serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.”
“As we have said from the beginning of the gather to remove illegal cattle from federal land consistent with court orders, a safe and peaceful operation is our number one priority. After one week, we have made progress in enforcing two recent court orders to remove the trespass cattle from public lands that belong to all Americans.
“Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.
“We ask that all parties in the area remain peaceful and law-abiding as the Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service work to end the operation in an orderly manner.
Ranching has always been an important part of our nation’s heritage and continues throughout the West on public lands that belong to all Americans. This is a matter of fairness and equity, and we remain disappointed that Cliven Bundy continues to not comply with the same laws that 16,000 public lands ranchers do every year. After 20 years and multiple court orders to remove the trespass cattle, Mr. Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million. The BLM will continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially.”
The BLM did not mention giving Bundy his cattle back, but he hadn’t asked for them, he asked for his freedom back and for the BLM to lay down their arms.

Gold and the US Dollar Fight to the Death-Paul Craig Roberts

http://usawatchdog.com/gold-us-dollar-fight-to-the-death-paul-craig-roberts/

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Former Assistant Treasury Secretary, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, says, “Gold and the dollar are in a fight to the death.”  Dr. Roberts explains, “The Fed, in order to save a handful of banks too big to fail that are the mindless deregulation of the 21st century, the Fed has had to create a tremendous number of new dollars. 

The United States has never experienced anything like the creation of new money it has issued from quantitative easing, which is now multi-years old.

Because the dollar has been the world reserve currency since the end of WWII, countries all over earth have huge stocks of dollars.  It’s not just countries or central banks, but companies and   individuals.

As people view their holdings, an enormous supply of dollars in light of this extraordinary printing of new money by the Fed, they get nervous. 
....
They say ‘I should lighten up my holdings of dollars and get into something else.  Maybe I should get into gold or foreign currency.’  So, this puts pressure on the dollar’s exchange value. 

The first way that pressure manifested itself was the rising price of gold.  Despite the fact the price of gold has been pushed down since 2011, it still has about the highest rate of return of just about anything in the 21st century.  

The Federal Reserve, in order to protect quantitative easing which is necessary to save the banks, began manipulating the gold price in a new and more intense way.  They used their bullion banks to short the gold in the COMEX futures market. 

The trouble with this policy is that it’s been going on long enough that it’s being recognized by people who formerly thought ‘the Federal Reserve would never do anything like that.’  Of course they would, and people are catching on.”

Dr. Roberts goes on to say,

“Another factor is central banks such as China and Russia are purchasing more and more gold. . . . So, what is happening is the actual physical quantity of gold is moving out to Asia in such large quantities that supply in the West to meet purchases is diminished dramatically. 

This is starting to bite on the ability of the Federal Reserve of this sort of operation of rigging the gold price. . . . So, it looks like the Fed could be running out of the ability to continue this policy, in which case it will be bad news for the dollar.”

So, is the Fed losing the fight to the death between gold and the dollar?  Dr. Roberts says, “They are not losing right now, but they’re running out of bullets; but the Chinese and the Russians are not running out of dollars in which to buy gold.  The Fed is running out of gold in which to make these deliveries.”

What happens when physical gold can no longer be delivered to buyers?  Roberts predicts, “The gold price would skyrocket.” 

Dr. Roberts doesn’t give the timing for physical non-delivery of gold.  He does point out, “The fact they are having now to use naked shorts in the futures market, paper gold, implies they don’t have enough real physical gold to suppress the price any longer.

So, they have to take it to the futures market where they can do it with purely paper contracts. . . . Yes, the possibility of not being able, at some point, to make delivery is real.  Of course, that then would cause all confidence to be lost certainly in the dollar.”

What would the man-on-the-street experience when confidence in the dollar is lost?  Dr. Roberts predicts, “What he would be subjected to from the drop in the dollar’s exchange value to other currencies would be the prices at Wal-Mart would go through the roof. 

The majority of goods on Wal-Mart shelves are imports.  You would see a huge hit to the living standards and ability to cope of the man-on-the-street.  That’s where it all comes home to the average American. 

That’s why Federal Reserve’s policies are irresponsible and reckless. They put four or five banks ahead of the entire American population.  They are going to save them if they have to drive the rest of the American population into the ground.” 

As far as Russia and other countries doing more and more business outside of the dollar, Dr. Roberts says this too can spark very big inflation in a short amount of time.  Dr. Roberts says, “Prices can go up hundreds of times . . .  in a short amount of time.  It depends on the amount of fear or the extent people leave the dollar and give up on it. 

This is why the Federal Reserve is so irresponsible.”  So, are the Fed and Obama Administration trying to crash the dollar on purpose? 

Dr. Roberts says, “No, they are just stupid and arrogant. . . .  If you add up the IQ of the White House and you add up the IQ of the Fed and multiply it by a thousand trillion, it might equal 50. 

These are stupid policies designed to completely destroy the U.S. dollar. . . . I don’t think the United States can win the war against gold.”

EXOGEN April 12, 2014  ZIMBABWE HAS TONS OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO BACK THEIR CURRENCY.

ALSO THE DONG IS NOW TRADING AT 47 CENTS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO ADJUST YOUR NETDAMIA SETTINGS. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE WRONG SCREENS.

THE RUPIAH, DONG, AND ZIM ARE BETTER SPECULATIVE INVESTMENTS THAN THE IQD. THE DISTRACTION WAS TO FUNNEL PEOPLE TO THE IQD WHEN THE OTHER CURRENCIES ARE BETTER ROI'S


Army guy :  Who told you that Dong is now trading at $.47? Are we suppose to believe that while it's still showing to be worthless?

EXOGEN :  NOBODY HAS TO TELL ME ANYTHING ITS LIVE PUBLIC INFORMATION ON NETDAMIA TRADING CHARTS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW THEM- PUBLIC INFORMATION
Robert M:  It's weird. If you plug in vnd/usd it shows $.47, but of you plug in usd/vnd it show the old rates. I've seen this on two stock apps. Also, went to my Chase bank yesterday when I saw it and they still have the old exchange rate on their screens.

mark b:  April 12, 2014 ... I saw .000047

Richard :  April 12, 2014    If you go to Netdania and enter 1,000,000 VND to convert to USD, you get exactly $47.

As I recall, we payed ~ $85 to purchase the million VND. If anything, the value has gone down.  IMO


Sunshine62 : In the previous post, Exo suggested you have to know how to read the netdamia screen. So maybe he could explain how to read it so that we can see the .47????

Sqwatchy > I believe Exo is talking on back screens of Net Dania, on the servive thru the subscription packages.....Im guessing, because It is nowehere yet to be seen on any PUBLIC viewing website links.....private only trading platforms you have to belong too.

But, if he is indeed correct, why would he lie to us.....he is seeing it there, in time, when public released, it will show on the screen that we can publicaly pull up...Must be getting close!

Jana : EXO, this is great news for the country! How will the affect those that hold ZIM?

Sunshine62  Well it does depend on which notes they being back. They have so many! Dealers have been selling the 2008AA notes as gag gifts or souvenirs (their words) and they are so super cheap
Lets see today what this news does to their pricing

Sqwatchy > Sunshine62 : my dealer raised the price $12  more for $600 trillion, now $65 USD

*************************

KTFA:

INDYGUY:Hello everyone. The Kurds being on this terrorism list has been on my mind ever since it came out a couple of months ago. IMO we would not see an increase in the IQD until they were removed from the terrorist list. Why? I don't believe that you can have an international currency if you are on it. Isn't that why President Bush 42 had to sign EO 13303; so we could purchase the "terrorist labeled currency" and help rebuild Iraq?

With the Kurds language on the new currency and the lower denoms, Iraq/Kurds has to be off the terrorist list to go international.

IMO this is one of the last things that need to be done before the release. I hope this means all systems go AoP. Correct me if I'm wrong. I would like to hear others thoughts. The world needs it and quite frankly, so do I.   Blessings everyone!

************

Frank26: IMO ........ Your post is spot on.............As we do not know the date nor rate neither do we know the final check list that is also so illusive.
Indeed .......... This removal is significant ........... Even though it was unknown to us.
Many run to anything trying to associate it to the RI/RV out of desperation. Intoxicated with untruths.
But IMO ........... This is of value with the progress.

Or ............ This Super Hot Scolding Lava Flow called the M R of the IQD.

Bizhawk: those funds [DFI] were released on Monday

Warrior: know they were released but what do they have to do with the R.V?  does it matter?

Kboom:  Warrior= DFI- Develoment Fund for Iraq- umm yeah, it's RV'd $ to rebuild their infrastructure so.. yes it does imo

Gswoo13:  Warrior it was mentioned on call 4/9 so i think it is tied...DC: The DFI are really important – those are the funds the US and others have been protecting from lawsuits and such. It’s primarily going to be used for reconstruction of Iraq, with a lot of jobs. Those DFI were explicitly put in the rules, and an open part of the revaluation. Those were released Monday evening, on various news sources. That is a big, big deal, with 196 billion dollars released just for that.

Kboom: gswoo- congreed- and Tony added: Those funds were not to be released until AFTER Reval

Bizhawk:  IMO releasing or preparing to release the DFI is a signal EVERYTHING is lining up

Gswoo13:  AGAIN Warrior Those DFI were explicitly put in the rules, and an open part of the revaluation. Those were released Monday evening, on various news sources. That is a big, big deal, with 196 billion dollars released just for that.

Whalers:  the dfi funds are huge statement ....but when is the rv happeing.....it should be real soon ....if this goes past april then something is wrong for sure

DAZ:  WARRIOR...TH DFI WAS ABUT PROTECTION OR SOVERIEGN WEALTH. TO RELEASE THOSE FUNDS MEANS THAT IRAQ NOW HAS A MECHANISM IN PLACE TO PROTECT THAT WEALTH (VALUE) AND NO LONGER NEED THE PROTECTION FROM CREDITORS AND CLAMS

************

PursuitofTruth:  A friend of mine is in the Admirals group as is their entire congregation. Their guy has been waiting in Reno for days and finally she texted word that Monday is their day and 40% is the tax rate.   The source is not prone to lying so I have to believe she was telling me what she was in good faith.

KBoom:  Pursuit- Monday for Admirals? Taxes aside- that is a KEY imo… 40 percent would equate to the full short term (100% of) cap gains if that's the case

PursuitofTruth:  I was encouraged that she had a specific number. She didn't share the rate.

Whalers:  Pursuit thats probably long term plus state tax

KBoom:   Rates and taxes aside- IF MONDAY is their C/E day- it should also be OURS- just imo

sherlockDinar:  Pursuit- I know another group who were also told it will be on Monday as well- we will see

GoodGriefCB:  I know a whole group from Houston that is in Admiral's group and they are not in Reno

 PursuitofTruth:  Good she isn't in Reno either but the representative is.
