Private American Wealth Has Begun

I began writing analysis on the macro-economic situation of the
American financial structure back in 2006, and in the eight years since, I have
seen an undeniably steady trend of fiscal decline.
I have never had any doubt that the U.S.
If you view the progressive financial breakdown in America
The financial crash of 2008, the same crash which has been ongoing
for years, is NOT an accident. It is a concerted and engineered crisis meant to
position the U.S.
Anyone skeptical of this conclusion is welcome to study my
numerous past examinations on the issue of globalization; I don't have the time
within this article to re-explain, and frankly, with so much information on
deliberate dollar destruction available to the public today I've grown tired of
anyone with a lack of awareness.
If you continue to believe that the Fed actually exists to
"help" stabilize our economy or our currency, then you will never
find the logic behind what they do. If you understand that the goal of the Fed
and the globalists is to dismantle the dollar and the U.S.
The year of 2014 has been looming as a serious concern for me
since the final quarter of 2013, and you can read about those concerns and the
evidence that supports them in my article Expect Devastating Global Economic Changes In 2014.
At the end of 2013 we saw at least three major events that could
have sent America Syria U.S.
As we begin 2014, these same threatening issues remain (along with
many others), only at greater levels and with more prominence. New developments
reinforce my original position that this year will be remembered by historians
as the year in which the final breakdown of the U.S.
Taper Of QE3
When I first suggested that a Fed taper was not only possible but
probable months ago, I was met with a lot a bit of criticism from some in the
alternative economic world. You can read my taper articles here
and here .
This was understandable. The Fed uses multiple stimulus outlets
besides QE in order to manipulate U.S.
However, I think a dangerous blindness to threats beyond money
printing has developed within our community of analysts and this must be
remedied.
People need to realize first that the Fed does NOT care about the
continued health of our economy, and they may not care about presenting a
facade of health for much longer either. Alternative analysts also need to come
to grips with the reality that overt money printing is not the only method at
the disposal of globalists when destroying the greenback. A debt default is
just as likely to cause loss of world reserve status and devaluation - no
printing press required. Blame goes to government and political gridlock while
the banks slither away in the midst of the chaos.
The taper of QE3 is not a "head fake", it is very real,
but there are many hidden motivations behind such cuts.
Currently, $20 billion has been trimmed from the $85 billion per
month program, and we are already beginning to see what APPEAR to be market
effects, including a flight from emerging market currencies from Argentina to Turkey
The mainstream argument is that stimulus was flowing into such
markets, giving them liquidity support, and the taper is drying up that
liquidity. Whether this is actually true is hard to say, given that without a
full audit we have no idea how much fiat the Federal Reserve has actually
created and how much of it they send out into foreign markets.
I stand more on the position that the Fed taper was actually begun
in preparation for a slowdown in global markets that was already in progress.
In fact, I believe central bankers have been well aware that a decline in every
sector was coming, and are moving to insulate themselves.
Is it just a "coincidence" that the central bankers have
initiated their taper of QE right when global manufacturing numbers begin to
plummet?
Is it just "coincidence" the taper was started right
when the Baltic Dry Index, a global indicator of shipping demand, has lost over
50% of its value in the past few weeks?
Is it just "coincidence" that the taper is running
tandem with dismal retail sales growth reports from across the globe coming in
from the final quarter of 2013?
And, is it just a "coincidence" that the Fed taper is a
accelerating right as the next debt ceiling debate begins in March, and when
reports are being released by the Congressional Budget Office that over 2
million jobs may be lost due to Obamacare?
No, I do not think any of this is coincidence. Most if not
all of these negative indicators needed months to generate, so they could not
have been caused by the taper itself. The only explanation beyond
"coincidence" is that the Federal Reserve WANTED to launch the taper
program and protect itself before these signals began to reach the public.
Look at it this way - The taper program distances the bankers from
responsibility for crisis in our financial framework, at least in the eyes of
the general public. If a market calamity takes place WHILE stimulus measures
are still at full speed, this makes the banks look rather guilty, or at least
incompetent. People would begin to question the validity of central bank
methods, and they might even question the validity of the central bank's
existence. The Fed is creating space between itself and the economy because
they know that a trigger event is coming. They want to ensure that they are not
blamed and that stimulus itself is not seen as ineffective, or seen as the
cause.
We all know that the claims of recovery are utter nonsense. Beyond
the numerous warning signs listed above, one need only look at true
unemployment numbers, household wage decline, and record low personal savings
of the average American. The taper is not in response to an improving economic
environment. Rather, the taper is a signal for the next stage of collapse.
Stocks are beginning to plummet around the world and all
mainstream pundits are pointing fingers at a reduction in stimulus which has
very little to do with anything. What is the message they want us to digest?
That we "can't live" without the aid and oversight of central banks.
The real reason stocks and other indicators are stumbling is
because the effectiveness of stimulus manipulation has a shelf life, and that
shelf life is over for the Federal Reserve. I suspect they will continue
cutting QE every month for the next year as stocks decline. Will the Fed
restart QE? If they do, it will probably not occur until after a
substantial breakdown has ensued and the public is sufficiently shell-shocked.
The possibility also exists that the Fed will never return to stimulus measures
(if debt default is the plan), and QE stimulus will eventually be replaced by
IMF "aid".
Government Controlled Investment
Last month, just as taper measures were being implemented, the
White House launched an investment program called MyRA; a retirement IRA
program in which middle class and low wage
Americans can invest part of their paycheck in government bonds.
That's right, if you wanted to know where the money was going to
come from to support U.S.
For a decade or so China was the primary buyer and crutch for U.S. U.S. MyRA
I find it rather suspicious that a government-controlled
retirement program is suddenly introduced just as the Fed has begun to taper,
as stocks are beginning to fall, and as questions arise over the U.S.
First, is it possible that like the Fed, the government is also
aware that a crash in stocks is coming? And, are they offering the MyRA
Second, the program is currently voluntary, but what if the plan
is to make it mandatory? Obama has already signed mandatory health insurance
"taxation" into law, which is meant to steal a portion of every
paycheck. Why not steal an even larger portion from every paycheck in order to
support U.S.
Third, is this a deliberate strategy to corral the last vestiges
of private American wealth into the corner of U.S. Cyprus
The Final Swindle
Again, the next debt ceiling debate is slated for the end of this
month. If the government decides to kick the can down the road for another
quarter, I believe this will be the last time. The most recent actions of the
Fed and the government signal preparations for a stock implosion and ultimate
debt calamity. Default would have immediate effects in foreign markets, but the
appearance of U.S.
It is difficult to say how the next year will play out, but one
thing is certain; something very strange and ugly is afoot. The goal of the
globalists is to engineer desperation. To create a catastrophe and then force
the masses to beg for help. How many hands of "friendship" will be
offered in the wake of a U.S.
