| How High can the US$ Fly versus Japan's Yen? |
| The Wise Sages of Ancient days used to say, "The fate of a Liar, is that nobody
believes him, - even when he's speaking the truth!" Such is the predicament
of Japan's propaganda artists, including the Prime Minister, the Finance minister,
and central bank chief, who are all trying to cover-up their boldest scheme
yet, to crush the value of the Japanese yen, against the currencies of its
major trading partners. On May 11th, the finance chiefs of the Group of Seven
(G-7) gave Tokyo theSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

 A Short History of the Gold Cartel  |
| Governments want a low gold price to make national currencies look good. Gold is recognizable the world over as the "canary in the coal mine" when it comes to money. A rising gold price blurts the unpleasant truth that a national currency is being poorly managed and that its purchasing power is being inflated.Monday, May 06, 2013 |

| Financial Treachery & Harsh Consequences |
| The most powerful element of the shift has been the movement of gold wealth from Western locations (New York, London, Switzerland) to Eastern locations (China, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong). Most residents of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Western Europe are in shock, constantly distracted by the sweeping disruptive events led by a) unstoppable government deficits, b) the powerful crumble of sovereign bonds, c) the ruinous insolvency of the banking systems, d) the relentless reign of tax terror, and e) the tragic decline of the underlying economiesWednesday, May 01, 2013 |

| One of the things I often do with this blog is to attempt to decipher some of the tougher concepts expressed by Another and FOA. I try to get into their heads and figure out what they really meant so that I can rephrase it in a way that (to me at least) is easier to understand. This is one of those posts.
The following question came to me via email from "Solitary Monk" who took his name from a comment left by Woland referring to the fact that he had "preserved our 'Library of Alexandria' froFriday, April 26, 2013 |

All Paper is STILL a short position on gold  |
| The gold derivatives pyramid is a vigorous free market creature. It cannot be put down with a simple declaration that the paper is no longer redeemable in gold, as governments did with currency. It is a short selling scheme that has become a trap from which few short sellers will escapeThursday, April 25, 2013 |

| Why Gov’t Control over Financial Markets has to Grow! |
| Growth of control by banks and government
Quietly, but thoroughly, governments and the banking system have taken an ever increasing role in every aspect of the economy and individual’s lives. Where in the distant past cash was the only means of exchange, cash is now controlled by the banking system and cash transactions reduced to a miniscule role in all our lives.Tuesday, April 23, 2013 |

| A Deflationist’s Perfect Storm? |
| Bullion prices adjusted violently to a new reality yesterday. Now, if we can only figure out what that reality is. From a deflationist’s point of view, it could have been landfall for the perfect storm we’d all been expecting. To wit, some important news stories roiling the waters in recent days: 1) China’s economy is weakening, putting enormous pressure on commodities and resource-based currencies; 2) U.S. output, employment and income appear to be falling as well; 3) Draghi evidently thinks tWednesday, April 17, 2013 |

| Welcome to the Currency War, Part 7: The Zero Sum Game |

| ZIRP (0%) is Not Stimulus, Rather a Death Knell |
| The propaganda has been thick over the last few years, especially since the US banking system suffered a fatal heart attack in September 2008. It has not recovered since, still insolvent, still wrecked, having returned a zombie center with a USTBond carry trade core and continued money laundering basement lifeline. The Jackass is tired beyond words, beyond description, of hearing that the Zero Percent Interest Policy is being kept as a stimulus measure to encourage continued economic recovery.

| David Stockman: Welcome to Irrational Exuberance 2.0 |
| The Gold Report: David, your new book, "The Great Deformation: The Corruption of Capitalism in America," examines the roots of what you consider government's fiscal irresponsibility. As President Reagan's director of the Office of Management and Budget and a former U.S. congressman, what could have been done when you were in government that would have put a dent in the U.S. debt?

| Dealing with QE-Wars and Currency Devaluations |
| Whether you live in Cyprus, England, Japan, the United States, or elsewhere,
the battle for financial survival is taking on new dimensions. At issue is
the steady dilution of the purchasing power of money that is perpetrated by
the world's central banks, and worries about confiscation and taxation of monies
by government authorities. Even the giant Multi-Nationals, that stashed trillions
of dollars in offshore tax havens, are feeling a bit uneasy about reports that

| Raging Gold Bull & Disputed Propaganda |
| The propaganda has turned openly laughable. On the popular major financial news networks, the recent decline in the so-called Gold price has prompted quite the parade of clowns on the ship of fools to trumpet nonsense. The widely published and posted Gold price is dominated by futures contracts, and thus as corrupted as meaningless. The entire global financial structure is crumbling before our eyes. The gang of central bankers has applied their monetary policy for four and a half years since theThursday, March 07, 2013 |

| Groundhog Day |
| As with the movie Groundhog Day, for the stock market it?s been the same routine day after day all year now (not witnessed since 1967), where good is good news, but bad news is even better. So as with Bill Murray held captive in Punxsutawney to the point of insanity, for speculators this is an equally frustrating situation because on the surface, meaning the economy, technicals, and common sense, all suggest stocks should be falling, and yet, seemingly, every morning, futures are higher in the gWednesday, March 06, 2013 |

| Gritty Questions on the Historic Collapse |
| The typical articles over the last many years have featured a particular theme. In the last few months, the central theme in Jackass articles has been the isolation and demise of the USDollar, how it is happening, why it must happen, and its importance in the restoration of the global financial structure. But this week, a sudden urge has come to address an overwhelming list of critical gritty questions. They crop up with clients, colleagues, and friends.

| No End in Sight for Global 'Currency Wars' |
| With frigid temperatures expected to hover between 15-degree and 23-degree
Fahrenheit this weekend in Moscow, it's a wonder why the world's most powerful
finance chiefs and central bankers would schedule their Feb 15-16th meeting
in Vladimir Putin's backyard. Instead, a better venue for the Group-of-20 would've
been the Cayman Islands. The Islands are warm year-round, with average highs
holding steady in the 80's. January and February are the coolest months with

| The Final Currency War |
|
When most people hear the term “currency war,” they either dismiss it; or have not a clue what it means. That’s a shame, as this deleterious process is the modus operandi of fiat currency regimes. Moreover, now that – for the first time in HISTORY – all nations utilize fiat “money,” currency wars are as ubiquitous as government “can-kicking.”
The premise of “currency war” is simple. In debasing one’sWednesday, January 30, 2013 |

| Australia's Metal Miners Hitch a Ride to China's Economy |
| Navigating a metals mining company through the treacherous seas of the global
economy is no easy task. There are many headwinds that can capsize a mining
company or steer it far off course, if the captain of the ship doesn't read
the signals of the marketplace correctly. And it's not only shareholders that
can get hurt from calamitous decisions, but also CEO's, such as Rio Tinto's
boss, who was sacked last week, because of a string of $34-billion of write
downs, stemming from iSaturday, January 26, 2013 |
