| 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 |

| Biggest Bubble About to Burst |
| "Nothing is normal: not the economy, not the financial system, not the financial markets and not the political system. The system remains still in the throes and aftershocks of the 2008 panic and the near-systemic collapse, and from the ongoing responses to same by the Federal Reserve and federal government. Further panic is possible and hyperinflation is inevitable. "The economic and systemic solvency crises of the last eight years continue. There never was an actual recovery following tSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

 Golden Bullseye  |
| One of the lessons that gold bugs are learning, in the most painful way possible,
is that you can't trade a manipulated market. When big players with regulatory
immunity can move an asset's price -- and can see resistance/support levels
and moving averages just as clearly as anyone else -- smaller traders don't
stand a chance.
In the gold-is-manipulated script, governments and their bullion bank proxies
push the price to levels where they know hedge funds and other traders have

| Currency Wars: Russia's Proposal for the Post-Bretton Woods II Global Financial System |
| "The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics'. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia.
When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer."

| Welcome to the Currency War, Part 9: What's Wrong With These Picture |
| Japan's currency devaluation has worked beautifully. The yen is plunging,
Japanese stocks are soaring, and the current account surplus -- the main measure
of a country's ability to trade effectively -- is way up:

Current-Account Surplus Climbs as Abenomics Sinks Yen
Japan's current-account surplus rose in March to the highest level in a
year as a depreciating yen boosted repatriated earnings and brightened
the outlook for the nation's exports. The exTuesday, May 14, 2013 |

| Welcome to the Currency War, Part 8: US Issues Variable-Rate Debt |
| It's easy to understand the attraction of things like adjustable-rate mortgages
and teaser-rate credit cards. They give you cheap money up front and a few
years of breathing room in which to raise your cash flow to cover the eventual
higher payments.
Sometimes this works out for the best. But frequently not. If your cash flow
doesn't rise, a big jump in interest expense can ruin your life, as millions
of American homeowners discovered when the mortgage bubble burst in 2007.

| Currency Wars: Chinese Gold Rush and American Pravda |
| Sometimes there is a juxtaposition of stories that is just too striking.
Here is a piece that appeared today in the People's Daily Online. It presents some interesting information on the buying of gold in China during the most recent fluctuation in price.
As I seem to recall, China holds so many US dollars that if they tried to convert them into gold and silver, they couldn't. Well, not at anything near today's prices. And their bond selling would certainly stress the Fed's Balance Sheet. Friday, May 03, 2013 |

| Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Gold Is Flowing From West to East |
| Intraday commentary on the Chinese gold rush and the ongoing currency war here. It might be well to read this if you have not so already. What the People's Daily Online has to say about the Chinese market for physical gold is stunning.
It correlates heavily with the gold and silver market action and represents a kind of summary of what I think might be going on.
Stocks are in a bubble. A lot of the stock market action is reminiscent of the tech bubble with overtones of the housing bubble. Thursday, May 02, 2013 |

| Silver's Underperformance Against Gold |
| What happened on Friday, April 12 and Monday, April 15 on gold and silver markets looked like a gigantic earthquake – a drop of about $200 (13%) for the yellow and almost $5 (18%) for the silver metal. There has been a lot of hyperbole going on. We even heard it said that a move of that scale would statistically only be expected “once every 4,776 years.” Going even further, John Kemp of Reuters calculates that, based on a normal distribution (by the way, market returns are not normally distributMonday, April 29, 2013 |

Everywhere; and the dew that drops from thence

| Gold and Silver : Post-Crash Analysis |
|
There is strictly nothing happening now on the gold and silver markets that would be related to fundamentals. This crash, just like the other ones, is orchestrated, and it doesn’t reflect the extremely tense situation on the physical gold and silver markets.
Here is how some of the significant elements are to be taken into account. I have put them in three different categories :

| There was little reason for optimism and certainly no optimists that
we could find in the junior space this month.
This month's editorial continues the discussion of what large companies
seem to be looking for and what Juniors should be looking for too. This
sort of shift is not a short term scenario. By definition it's going to

The Gold Takedown: Another Glimpse into the Central Banking Matrix  |
| Three weeks ago, the investing public was awarded a brief glimpse into the mysterious world of central banking through events in Cyprus. Despite the official assurances by IMF head ChristineLagarde that this was an anomaly, a one-time expropriation of investor savings, it is now clear that the situation is far more serious than originally acknowledged and that the Cyprus style "bail-in" will likely be used as a template for other distressed banks.Tuesday, April 16, 2013 |

| Is Christine Lagarde Really Speaking For the IMF? |
| We have already talked about Japan’s escape ahead through the use of the money printing press, notably since the new Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, named a new director for the central bank and forced the institution to do even more monetizing. Japan has stubbornly stuck to this policy since the crisis of the ‘90s, albeit with no tMonday, April 15, 2013 |

| Welcome to the Currency War, Part 7: The Zero Sum Game |
| Based on the past few weeks' stock market action, Japan's decision to flood the world with yen looks like a raging success. It's not of course. Here's a cogent take on the subject from ex-hedge fund manager BruceKrasting:

| That Dreadful Day |
| For the moment, the trend seems pretty clear. Money from far and wide rushes into the US stock markets because every other conceivable place to stash money produces no return, no interest, no increase, at a time when the value of central bank currencies is slip-slidin' somewhere south of Palookaville. The rush into equities gooses equities increasing the rush, goosing the goose. Consider, however, that trends by their nature must last longer than the moment to be trends in the first place.

| Japan: A New Currency War Front |
| At 512% Total Debt to GDP and 226% Sovereign Debt to GDP Japan's Debt levels
are alarming even compared to the EU 'GIIPS'. The IMF recently warned that
Japanese debt was now "unstable". This is IMF code for unpayable and inextinguishable.
So what is the solution? According to the new "ABE-nomics" policy it is to
double-up.
Japan has replaced the Bank of Japan Governor and mandated a 2% inflation
rate within 2 years. This defiMonday, April 08, 2013 |

| Read the Wednesday Afternoon Wrap-Up for 4/3/2013 and the Thursday Morning Commentary for 4/4/2013
I have written of “CARTEL RULE #1” countless times before; but in light of the current global economic collapse, I thought it a good time to expand on this concept. For those not aware of such rules, they represent repetitive patterns I have observed in my “TEN YEARS OF HEAVEN AND HELL,” soon to be eleven.
