(owned by Genl Electric) when has WallStJournal ever advised the same? (owned by DowJones Inc) when has any major press group reported anything on the gold carry trade to bolster the dollar all last decade? economist groups now have become seriously compromised, with major financial and political interests far too powerful in their influence some economic research is bought, and not resubscribed if unfavorable the Samuelson beliefs are now part & parcel of the Harvard EasyMoney Keynesian School of Thought it is politically incorrect to question the debt-based currency system that we have now gambled our entire financial future on (this is not open to discussion) the financial stock markets are totally rigged, with investment bankers and brokerage analysts in bed up to their shriveled gonads with the very firms they offer advice on the result is retail investors rushing in to complete the bubbles the Federal Reserve Banking system has failed us, despite the deification offered up to the Chairmen they have contributed to vast decade-long swings in expansions and contractions, that seem to profit few but the ultra-wealthy now, as we approach with mind-bending hurtling speed toward the Japanized economic model of 0% interest, we will witness our future locked in a box, just like Japan Congress has become a den of thieves, whores, and felons Traficante is the most recent expulsion (he does his hair with a weed whacker) the Democrats spend our money irresponsibly on behalf of the poor the Republicans spend our money irresponsibly on behalf of the rich so our money has been spent badly, invested badly, with nothing but a huge debt remaining our democracy has provided a seeming unlimited supply of credit with which we can kill ourselves and we have done just that buy gold, a huge opportunity as a hedge for the upcoming Perfect Storm the economy, the stock market, the dollar all will be failing for the next few years in magnficent fashion by the way, the Dow and S&P are now knocking at the failed support level from early July / jim
