propaganda that the treasuries are saying

Real Man, Acting Man has concluded that the PR difficulties Bernanke has created for himself, the sitting of a couple of hawks at the FOMC, Ron Paul's chairmanship of a House subcommittee dealing with monetary policy as well as increasing public dissatisfaction with QE to infinity, might mean that free money might be on the wane. His conclusion is as hazy as anything Greenspan wrote but it is worth citing:

With these things in mind, investors should consider the possibility that the flood of free liquidity may subside rather sooner than is currently expected. 'QE2' may even end up – gasp! – curtailed. In such an event we would expect major cyclical bear markets in stocks and commodities to interrupt the so far still ongoing party in financial markets.

He also concludes that any tightening and asset liquidation will then result, surprise!, in further loosening. In effect, he sees a continuous and damaging long term cycle of tightening and loosening, a very bad thing.

He does not mention how the rise in yields of long term treasuries might affect things, but there is no doubt that they will.
