the FED can not afford QE3 I am sure they pray for miracle. The gyrations in teh FX markets only prove that, and re-enforce the conclusions of the ZeroHedge article. I only hope that the next IMF chief - possible the present French finance minister will follow on in the steps of DSK and remove the USD status as the single reserve currency, and make THE "SDR" a reserve currency. More so that she will continue the efforts to put ALL US WS and Bank chieftains on trial and hopefully they should send to jail locked for long period of time and force them to disgorge all illicit profits from "free markets" manipulation and collusion

The "NEW REPUBLIC" Claims of national security are being used to keep the shenanigans of the biggest banks an corporations secret, and to crush dissent. The way a republic is supposed to function is that there is transparency for those who wield public power and privacy for private citizens. The National Security State has reversed that dynamic completely, so that the Government (comprised of the consortium of public agencies and their private-sector "partners") knows virtually everything about what citizens do, but citizens know virtually nothing about what they do (which is why WikiLeaks specifically and whistleblowers generally, as one of the very few remaining instruments for subverting that wall of secrecy, are so threatening to them). Fortified by always-growing secrecy weapons, everything they do is secret -- including even the "laws" they secretly invent to authorize their actions -- while everything you do is open to inspection, surveillance and monitoring. This dynamic threatens to entrench irreversible, absolute power for reasons that aren't difficult to understand. Knowledge is power, as the cliché teaches. When powerful factions can gather unlimited information about citizens, they can threaten, punish, and ultimately deter any meaningful form of dissent ... zerohedge.com
