    Default Planned bursting of the financial bubble

    Fed Plan is Print Money Until System Blows-Bix Weir

    By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Early Sunday Release) Financial writer and analyst Bix Weir is not surprised by the Federal Reserve’s policies because it is all part of the long term plan. Weir explains, “The goal, since we went off the gold standard in 1971, has been to run the financial system as long and as hard as possible, sucking up all the benefits of fiat money, and there are very few attempts to slow this mess down. The idea is to put as much money as you can . . . until you have printed so much money the system implodes. This was a Nobel Prize winning paper in the 1960’s called “On the Road to the Golden Age.” It basically says if you have this freedom and flexibility with the monetary system, run it as hard as you can until people stop accepting the unbacked fiat money, then crash the system and go back to something safe and sound after it all blows up. . . . What they need is a big enough bubble so when it crashes, it take out all the derivatives, the malfeasance of the banks, the good guys and the bad guys and all the things going on behind the scenes. They need the bubble so big, and that’s what they are doing right now is blowing the bubble so big everybody feels the effect of a crash.”
    When is the next crash coming? Weir says it will all unwind before “the end of this year.” Weir contends, “The decision will need to be made this year. The banks will, once again, come to Congress and say we need money for a bailout. That decision will be made by the U.S. people, not by Congress, not by the Fed and not by the banks. It’s going to come to the people, and I believe they will say no to bailouts.”

    Thanks Ron.
    I had the slight displeasure of chatting with ex-Fed chief Ben Bernanke earlier this week.

    I said to him this. My son is studying finance in college. I have told him that the economic theories he is studying are not applicable to what we are going through because of the perversion of central banks intervening in the markets.

    Bernanke's answer was: You're right, new theories will need to be developed.

    So there you have it. Seven years of intervention and no much to show for it. Four trillion in debt and the ATMs stayed working.

    So that said, these markets won't crash because of Uncle Sam in the name of national security will not let that happen. If Citigroup is still open, that's proof positive the feds are rigging the game.

    That's
    When in doubt, do the next right thing.

    Apologize for the above I was going to sleep when I wrote it.

    The point I wanted to make (but feel I failed) is that The free markets, economics, and statistics employed to speak about the financial picture we face is so perverted by central bank debt issuance that no one including the central bankers know what is going to happen.

    Seven years of Fed manipulation into stocks, bonds and commodities have produced nothing. The global economy is at zero growth on average and the central bankers are at a loss for what to do.

    No economic theory works anymore, so when some talking head says "that if this, then that" he or she is banking on an outdated theory that in practice doesn't work anymore.

    Even the basic tenant of supply and demand has been perverted. Look at US bond offerings. The more they issue the price goes up with yields hitting new lows.

    No this is a new paradigm for economic theory of a (mis)managed economy. So for anyone to call for something dire to happen, based on historical precedence is misquided.
    When in doubt, do the next right thing.

    the NWO Zionists have made worse worser.

    the fed is powerless. the usa gubmint is powerless. USA is moot.

    if you take the real inflation out of America's gdp we are already in a severe recession. over 100 million American's can't find a job that pays sustenance level for a family of four. 100+ million americans already live on electronic welfare.

    we are going into global economic meltdown and it was intentional. david icke called it; problem, reaction, solution ( attempted NWO coup).

    the yuan has just risen to the fourth most used currency globally.

    gold back trade will rule global finances very soon.


    the $ is toast. all fiat currencies are toast. it's happening as I type. the usa has few valid exports as we have exported our manufacturing and many service jobs overseas. no one wants our gmo food. tobacco is a toxic product. how much jack daniels (liquor) can we export? if the world goes back to peace ( all wars are Zionist bankers wars and Russia just checkmated them is syria) where does that leave our industrial war machine ( including the fact that America will be too broke to keep the gas tanks filled)? big pharma will be embargoed; natural remedies like good nutrition and generics mfg. for 1/000th of big pharma's price gouging methods. the usa has no physical gold! gone!

    America is just another third world nation getting by on counterfeiting the world's reserve currency until the world goes to physical bullion backed ( including other valuable commodities) TRADE.

    TRADE backed by physical commodities valued by the world will be the new medium of exchange and the usa has effectively very few physical commodities desired by the world to exchange for outsourced goods and services. no gold to back a non fiat currency. this was intentional. this is the Zionist NWO destruction of America's economy.

    fait accompli

    silk road trade based financial system has won the day. done deal.

    One cannot play the expansion of credit game thorough forward and front loaded debt, all with fiat currency...in a rigged and forced limit resource system. That was a failure point to be reached, and known to exist, in at least potential (as a brick wall future), right from day one.

    Open energy systems are the only thing that can save this attempt at civilization when there are seven billion people around.

    The only problem for any given system or ordered hierarchy, is that everything has to change. Right down to the psychological lay and launch point of each individual in that system. Not just change but fundamental change in those individuals.

    The only saving grace in it all is that it is actually the people running the system and those invested in the system that have to change the most. They are the pressure, motion and break point in this. And due to how they are wired, it will have to be forcefully enacted upon them --on and into their physiological and psychological break point.

    Those who covet power, control and personal safety through projected rage and violence in act, they will all have to be shattered. enough of them so that their 'system' of integration with one another is broken beyond any hope of repair or rebuild. These people do not recognize the base psychology that is at play, here. They do not understand that they are not the solution, but the problem itself - incarnate. They can only have the power they have, the control they have, the feeling of safety they have, if they limit human reach in enterprise and resource, as a closed control loop. Previously (in the physical origins of human psychology) , this was accomplished by environmental controls, all within an environment that seemed, in some ways, at the same time..unlimited. Always another hidden open horizon in a world of pressure and 'stressed into form' limits.

    Well, we are now, for the first time in the collective memory and design of the human body, we are brick walling on potentials, due to the design of the psychology of those who desire control over groups of humans. We are doing this globally.

    Thus, all control minded and control through violence and limits type of personalities, all of them have to be turned on and identified, turned out.... and either terminated or disabled, permanently.

    And then an open world can finally enter the system of humanity via the widespread introduction of free energy or over unity devices, and this will happen concurrently across the world.

    And in that, we will return to the idea of justice, and integrity..... as the origin points, the launch points of the people's base psychology will be coming from an unpressured and unleveraged position.

    If humanity can show that it can learn limits, understand limits, understand controls, controls of self and controls of projection of self..to gain and hold this in all things, this form of self control.....then humanity can finally be allowed into a world that has no limits.

    ^ my take as well, but i'm not that eloquent.

    according to the ed threads I attend to you are right on the money carmody. they state that the global financial collapse will put nearly everyone's "skin in the game". joe six-pack sheeple will be forced out of his "convenient lies" bubble world. according to several groups there will be a stratification; those that don't adjust will be offered different opportunities than those that do make the necessary transformations.

    very interesting times indeed.

    Glencore, Metal Derivatives, Conspiracies & The End Game - Bix Weir
    Quote Remember Marc Rich? Many know him as the rich donor that Bill Clinton pardoned in his final act as President on January 20, 1999. That's pretty much all your "Average Joe" knows. If you want to know the real Marc Rich read the book "Metal Men" by A. Craig Copetas and you will get a better understanding of this unique individual.

    Marc Rich was born Marcell David Reich but changed his name to present himself as more Anglo-American and less of the poor Jewish immigrant that fled from Germany...he claimed it would be better for business. This name change wasn't the only facade he would portray over the years.

    Marc Rich was by far the most successful physical commodity trader in the world from the early 1970's until the day he died in Switzerland in June 2013. There is no disputing that fact. But during that time he and the small group of traders that he trained racked up a laundry list of crimes around the world that would make Al Capone blush. In 1983 he was indicted on 65 criminal counts including racketeering, money laundering, tax evasion and trading with Iran during the US hostage crisis. Facing charges that would have amounted to over 300 years in prison he fled to Switzerland where he ran his global operations for another 18 years until Bill Clinton mysteriously pardoned him and his colleagues in 2001 for reasons unknown to the public.

    The true story - the conspiracy story - is that Marc Rich controlled the backbone of the commodity rigging operations run by a group I have come to call the "Bad Guys." As large financial institutions and central banks ran the computer controlled price rigging operations, Rich and his traders were hired, as needed, to control the physical side of these covert operations.

    Here's a short list of the Crimes and Conspiracies he played a key part of: hired by Henry Kissinger and the Israeli Mossad in the 1970's to help rig the oil markets in order to set up Petro-Dollar; hired by George Bush Sr. as part of "Project Hammer" to economically destroy the Soviet Union; hired by Bill Clinton in the 1990's to rig the gold and silver markets for the "Strong Dollar Policy" in exchange for the pardons of himself and Pincus Green(Rich's right hand man) also exonerating his accomplices Ivan Glasenberg (now CEO of Glencore) and Claude Dauphin (Majority owner and Chairman of Trafigura who just suspiciously DIED on September 30, 2015).

    Although it is still unknown to the public to what extent he played, Marc Rich was knee deep in the Bernie Madoff scandal which was much, much more extensive than the mainstream media portrayal of it as a $65B Ponzi Scheme run by a single person. The Madoff con was how the "Bad Guys" got paid via market rigging programs run out of the secretive 17th floor below the Madoff Investment Securities offices located on floors 18 & 19 of the "Lipstick Building" on 3rd Avenue, NYC. Marc Rich and friends controlled the commodity side of that operation.

    If above information isn't enough to make you feel ill, in the 1990's then-Rep. Bob Wise, D-W.Va, unearthed evidence in hearings from the early 1990s which showed that while Rich was still a fugitive the U.S. Mint was a large customer buying metal from one of his companies. The US Mint issued at least 21 separate contracts for various types of metal to the company. Also, in 1988, the US Defense Logistics Agency lifted its bar on contracting with Rich's company while he was still under indictment...so much for being on "America's 10 Most Wanted" list! There were/are people in the US Treasury and at the US Mint that were kneed deep in this global con game.

    So what does all these past misdeeds of Marc Rich have to do with the current situation for commodity investors?

    That's easy...Glencore PLC is headline news these days and is sitting on suspected derivative losses in the billions. The global financial system is on a "Death Watch" and many are likening the ramifications of Glencore imploding as the next "Lehman Moment".

    Let's put the conspiracy pieces together - Glencore at one time was called Marc Rich & Co and owned and operated by the very same Clinton Pardon recipient, Marc Rich. According to court documents around from the world, Rich hired and trained the most unscrupulous, oops, I mean successful commodity traders alive today. Many in the commodity industry call them "The Rich Boys". These are NOT business men but covert commodity trading racketeers who have no county, follow no laws and have no allegiance to anyone. These people can be bought by the highest bidder to do the more unsavory deeds in the underbelly of the already shady physical commodity world. Oil out of Iran, Toxic chemical "disposal" off the Ivory Coast, commodity market price rigging for profit and/or "on consignment" - you name it. Glencore is still headed by one of the co-conspirators in the US indictments against Rich's company, their CEO Ivan Glasenberg.

    In the 1990's Glencore was privately owned by Marc Rich but was split into two companies with the exodus of a few of "The Rich Boys" who start an identical operation called Trafigura. Having the two companies kept the spotlight off the Marc Rich entity but it is not hard to imagine these two management teams worked together to foment their market manipulations and operations. In 2011 Glencore went public and Trafigura was kept private to avoid the scrutiny of the regulators and law enforcement. They not only liked the privacy - they needed it.

    For over 40 years Marc Rich's companies traded, conspired and rigged commodity markets with practical immunity. Setting up each market rigging operation by either holding back physical inventories or flooding the physical markets with product depending where there was money to be made. Although physical commodity trading can be a great way to make money if you control the majority of the inventory, the real money was to be made in leveraged futures and options contracts...especially when you can significantly influence the supply of physical inventories. Knowing the future outcome of every futures or options bet on commodities can be very lucrative.

    Fast-forward to today and it is clear that something has gone wrong at Glencore and Trafigura. Their game is no longer working and being massively leveraged commodity derivative players is not a good thing for "The Rich Boys." Glencore has lost 65% of it's market cap in less than 3 months with a sudden 29% drop on Monday (9/28/15). Their "reported bank debt" is ballooning at over $30B but when you add in operating lines of credit and letters of credit it is closer to $100B...and revenues are falling off a cliff!

    The rating agencies are threatening a downgrade from their investment grade rating unless they sell off assets to reduce their debt load and there are rumors that this downgrade would trigger significant metal collateral calls. The problem is that this forced liquidation goes against any good trader's Modus Operandi - NEVER SELL AT THE BOTTOM OF A MARKET!...especially if it would blow up your derivative book.

    Trafigura is no better off but they are private and less is known about their problems. In January they were estimated to have $20B in debt but with a much weaker cash flow than Glencore. Again, rumors of collateral calls are spreading. But there is something else happening at Trafigura, the founder and largest shareholder(and one of the original Rich Boys), Claude Dauphin, turned up dead on September 30th (the last day of the 3rd Quarter) in Bogota, Columbia. The company said he died after a battle with cancer but he lived in Switzerland and France - not Columbia. Hmmm. I wonder if he really died or just disappeared to the same tropical island that many rich criminals go for their "afterlife"!

    Given the wild stock price fluctuation with Glencore and the rampant speculation about the demise of Trafigura I would venture to say that the commodity rigging game that has been so successful for these people for so many years is now coming to a ugly end. Both companies are well versed in the use of leverage to make enormous amounts of money in any rigged market. Since they had never lost at this game in the past, they most likely were leveraged to the hilt when their trusty operations failed them.

    So let the collateral calls begin. Make "The Rich Boys" deliver the physical metal they used as collateral to leverage their nefarious deeds as this was always the End Game for those calling for the end of metal price manipulation - Metal Delivery.

    Like all financial conspiracies, the ramifications won't hit the mainstream media until weeks or even months after the damage is done. It was true for Lehman Brother, Enron, AIG and Madoff Investments...but in the end we will find out the truth and then all my friends at GATA and those traveling with me on "Road to Roota" can finally say...

    "WE TOLD YOU THE MARKETS WERE RIGGED!!"

    May the Road you choose be the Right Road.

    Apologize for the above I was going to sleep when I wrote it.

    The point I wanted to make (but feel I failed) is that The free markets, economics, and statistics employed to speak about the financial picture we face is so perverted by central bank debt issuance that no one including the central bankers know what is going to happen.

    Seven years of Fed manipulation into stocks, bonds and commodities have produced nothing. The global economy is at zero growth on average and the central bankers are at a loss for what to do.

    No economic theory works anymore, so when some talking head says "that if this, then that" he or she is banking on an outdated theory that in practice doesn't work anymore.

    Even the basic tenant of supply and demand has been perverted. Look at US bond offerings. The more they issue the price goes up with yields hitting new lows.

    No this is a new paradigm for economic theory of a (mis)managed economy. So for anyone to call for something dire to happen, based on historical precedence is misquided.
    the irony is that the US dollar will be a good hedge as a near term investment to protect the value of any holdings, as commodities continue to tumble... mind you, this is contrarian to the "hold gold" investors, but there is just no way gold is going to "explode" to $5,000... it's another rigged market imo (and 2¢)

    there's a saying... it goes something like this... when everyone on the street is "in the know" and you are getting the same tip from even the 'shoeshine boy'... run in the other direction... when I was reading gold was going to take off in 1998-2000, absolutely no one was on board... and of course here I am, almost 18 years later... on the other side of the mirror again... lol

    and I think I have another post that called the Dow... that it was a short opportunity (back when it was heading toward 18,000 and beyond... or there abouts... ;-)

    Yes - it collapses toward the center - the US Dollar, and Treasuries become stronger - for a while.

    I liken it to being on the first floor of World Trade Center (WTC) One, the morning of 9/11. Everyone in the floors above you is rushing to get to the first floor. The forces of destruction being unleashed on the WTC were far deeper, more fraudulent and more lethal than almost anyone that day imagined.

    The US Dollar and its associated debt-paper are the foundation of the current monetary system. Either it, and the fraudulent political, corporate, economic, monetary and financial machinations built on it, collapse, including the US Dollar and US Treasury debt, presenting an existential crisis to the current "government" in Washington, DC and financial markets in New York ... or they don't.

    The Dollar, and the (human?) entities behind it are at the ground floor.

    The small silver coin under my mattress, and an extra bag of beans in my pantry, are my puny bets that it collapses ... and some popcorn ... either way, this will be quite the spectacle.

    ^^ As A Shocking $100 Billion In Glencore Debt Emerges, The Next Lehman Has Arrived
    10/07/2015

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-1...an-has-arrived
    Thanks for the update,
    I see no real risk event from the derivatives market.
    It is very simple, the finance players are making the rules as they go and are immune to any ramification.
    For example the 405 billion$ instant creation, from last month.
    If a loss, is risking the institutions they will create enough phoney money as needed.
    The businesses trading with USD and controlled by the institutions are at risk of changing handlers.

    Put in short, there is no financial risk to the financial institutions inside the USD trade zone.
    There is indeed worldwide collapse in USD trade. Diminishing the USD control system. This is a real danger to the elite, and opportunity to other elites.
    We are playing a virtual reality game, of duality. In the game of choices, align your choices with your ideals. Everything is whole, complete and perfect. Even yourself. Love is the power to change/create.

    Congress Declares Martial Law as Dollar Rapidly Collapsing: “Living in Last Days of This Republic.”
    Mac Slavo
    October 8th, 2015

    Quote For the second time in a month, the House on Tuesday invoked “martial law” to allow more expeditious consideration of a stopgap spending bill to avoid a government shutdown on Oct. 1.
    Quote Crisis is averted – for now.

    But the dollar is now an unwanted export commodity. As the U.S. rattles sabers with Russia in its proxy wars, the basis for American power overseas is rapidly collapsing.
    Quote •The dollar is collapsing
    •China is demanding a “reset” of the global currency standards, which would official end the dollar’s reign as reserve currency
    •In its place, a global reserve currency planned since 2009 is forming, using a basket of currencies as value, and SDRs as a drawing mechanism on the global stage
    •Putin is fighting with the U.S. openly on multiple fronts, as the War on Terror turns into a Russian offensive in Syria and Ukraine remains tense

    •The Federal Reserve faces an existential crisis over its bipolar decisions in furthering quantitative easing and/or hiking the interest rate enough to leave the economy on life support
    •Stock market gyrations, looming derivatives disasters, and a system wide economic collapse regularly threaten the financial system, as experts predict collapse as an
    inevitable result of the 2008 crisis, and detrimental recovery policies afterwards that have given more power than ever to the banks.
    Procedural martial law was passed in Congress under the guise of confronting the next round of debt ceiling
    Quote Now the criminal Congress and shadow government need to use procedural martial law to pass stop-gap spending measures to keep the entire house of cards from coming down.

    And who is at fault? We must remember and point to the Rothschild central bank – the Federal Reserve is to blame for all of this. The entire system has been manipulated to wring out the very last dollar from the American people, to bankrupt the Treasury, and to bring the United States of America to its knees – so that a new international currency can rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.”

    “We are living in the last days of this Republic.”

    the Zionists are hard core ganstas. they asset strip ( bust -out ) by exchanging virtual fiat$ for real assets, then they bring down the whole she-bang.
