The Golden Jackass makes the SHOCKING claim that perhaps
60,000 tons of allocated, segregated gold have been improperly used by
the cartel to settle Asian margin calls!He states that we will see $5,000/oz gold not from quantitative easing or the public entering the bull market, but from the cartel banks replacing what they improperly used in their leveraged games from allocated gold accounts!
Willie also informed The Doc that it appears that Morgan Stanley was used by the cartel to prevent a collapse in treasury bonds in 2010, and believes that Morgan Stanley was set up at the time by cartel banks as the next major financial firm to fail. He states that there are no buyers for treasury bonds, and that the only demand for treasuries are interest rate swaps creating false, artificial demand, and that these IR swaps were what caused the 10 year rally & ‘flight to safety’ in 2010.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi’s bond-buying proposal
involves unlimited purchases of government debt that will be sterilized
to assuage concerns about printing money, two central bank officials
briefed on the plan said.Under the blueprint, which may be called “Monetary Outright Transactions,” the ECB would refrain from setting a public cap on yields, according to the people, and a third official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The plan will only focus on government bonds rather than a broader range of assets and will target short-dated maturities of up to about three years, two of the people said.
The euro jumped half a cent on the report to $1.2596 and European stocks advanced. An ECB spokesman referred to an Aug. 20 statement in which the Frankfurt-based central bank said it was misleading to report on decisions that haven’t been taken yet.
Draghi told the European Parliament this week that the ECB needs to intervene in bond markets to wrest back control of interest rates in the fragmented euro-area economy and ensure the survival of the common currency.

Spain had a nearly $100 billion outflow from it’s banking system in just the month of July (Fears Rising, Spaniards Pull Out Their Cash and Get Out of Spain).
They have a 25% unemployment rate, a declining economy and the
sovereign itself probably has less than 60 days before it goes total
“Greek”. This is a full fledged bank run in progress as their largest
bank Dexia was bailed out last week. The bailout of $7 billion or so
merely plugged the hole created over the last 90 days, it has done
nothing to stop the losses. While speaking of losses, their real estate
and housing sector makes ours here in the US look healthy which of
course is another hole in their banking sector hull. The “hope” is that
the ECB (Germany) will step in and save them, who will save Germany?
The above is not really “new” news but it is exactly what was predicted. It was “predicted” because it (as everything else financial) is basically a mathematical equation of logic. Greece was logic as is Spain, Italy is logic as is France, as is the US. My point? This is global and it is systemic to the very core. It is completely predictable as to “failure”. The timing is not fixed nor is the exact path taken, but mathematically the “end” will arrive at default, non payment and new/changed currencies.

Want To See $40 Billion Disappear In Less Than 4 months?
Dave in Denver at The Golden Truth - 9 minutes ago
*(Click on chart to enlarge)*
It took a little less than 4 months for Wall Street and the insiders at
Facebook make $40 billion disappear. It took more than 40 years for Bernie
Madoff to accomplish the same feat. Maybe it says something about the
devaluation of the U.S. dollar, since Madoff got started before the gold
standard was removed. This waste in wealth might even make the Government
blush.
This whole situation is just unbelievable. I've never seen a large-cap,

The German Economy Tanks, The ECB Throws Gasoline On The Fire, Eurozone Bailouts Enter Phantasy Land
from Testosterone Pit.com:
Slovenia joined the Eurozone in 2007, went on a borrowing binge that
blind bond buyers eagerly made possible, dousing some of its two million
people with riches, creating a real estate bubble that has since burst,
and driving up its external debt by 110%. And in October, it may go bankrupt, admitted
Prime Minister Janez Jansa. Because borrowing binges can last only so
long if you can’t print your own money. The sixth Eurozone country, of
seventeen, to need a bailout. But it’s just a speck, compared to Spain,
which will strain the bailout funds, and Italy, which is too large to
get bailed out. The other option is the European Central Bank. Its
printing press—the one it is not supposed to have—could easily bail out
the once blind but now seeing bondholders. As in all bailouts, workers
and taxpayers would get a haircut. And in Germany, the debate itself may
tear up the Eurozone—just as its economy is tanking.
New car sales in Germany had been holding up well through June—a miracle in face of the fiasco playing out in the Eurozone’s auto industry. But they caved in July; and instead of miraculously recovering in August, they caved again: down 4.7% from August 2011 and down 8.6% from July. Ominously, sales of medium-heavy and heavy trucks, a thermometer of the business investment climate, fell off a cliff: -18.8% for trucks over 12 metric tons, -15.1% for trucks over 20 tons, and -9.4% for tractors (now down 5% for the year!).

The
easy fixes–throwing around trillions in “free money”–have all been
tried. Now the only choices left are the hard ones everyone has avoided
for four years because they’re politically impossible.
by Charles Hugh Smith, Of Two Minds:
I want to elaborate on a key point in yesterday’s entry The Resilience and Fragility of the Status Quo:
now that we’ve run through all the easy fixes, all we’ve got left are
the hard choices. You know, facing the music, dealing with reality,
making the cuts, taking the losses and tossing aside the impossible
promises.
The irony is that completely surrendering to the vested interests hasn’t fixed what’s broken, but neither will overthrowing them. Getting rid of the parasitic financial Elites would be a positive first step, but that won’t magically make Medicare a sustainable promise. Medicare is careening off the fiscal cliff regardless of who’s nominally in charge of the political machinery, for the reasons listed yesterday: demographics, the technological destruction of paid work and the diminishing returns on debt.

As the economic and financial systems of the world rapidly approach the real possibility of total collapse, signs of what we can expect on a mass scale in the near future are beginning to appear throughout Europe.
In Spain, a country that just a few years ago was heralded as a shining example of real estate entrepreneurship, international tourism and a rising middle class, the situation is so bad that many are unable to meet the most basic necessities for life.
Social safety nets across the continent are visibly under stress and breaking down, so much so that unemployed Spaniards have begun raiding supermarkets in order to put food on the table. As recently as last month the people of Cadiz and Sevilla, which have a reported unemployment rate of 32%, joined together to loot local grocery stores of three tons of food - some of which was distributed to local food banks:

US investigators interviewing former employees over $6b trading loss
from Gulf News:
New York: The fallout from a nearly $6 billion (Dh22 billion) trading
loss at JPMorgan Chase & Co looks like it will haunt the big US bank
and its high-profile chief executive, Jamie Dimon, for months to come.
US authorities are interviewing witnesses in both the United States and Europe to determine if three former London-based traders and others who worked with them at JPMorgan tried to hide some of the mounting losses during the first quarter of this year, said people familiar with the situation.
The situation presents several challenges to US authorities: the potentially irregular trading occurred in London; and it was carried out by non-US citizens, such as French national Bruno Iksil, who became known in the market as the “London Whale” for the size of his positions.
That translates into different rules for different jurisdictions and could raise extradition issues if any individuals are charged.

The belief widely held is that enlarged federalism is the appropriate
response to the economic crisis provoked by the Wall Street credit
crash. Why? Fundamental to the crisis is the degree of federation it
already has. Seventeen economically disparate nations bound their
fortunes together in creating the euro zone, and it is exactly this that
has thrown the European project into crisis.
Large parts of the populations of Greece, Spain and Portugal have been forced into destitution; the economies of all 17 members of the euro zone have been gravely damaged; governments of the weaker countries have been stripped of policy autonomy and placed under the tutelage of a “troika” of foreigners from the EU Commission, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, who are imposing uniform, highly controversial and thus far generally unsuccessful austerity programs.

Every time I hear one of these western central bankers or politicians
talk about how there’s no inflation, it just makes me want to vomit.
This is one of the most arrogant, disingenuous, intellectually dishonest statements one can make. And if these guys ever got off their butts and traveled somewhere, they’d see for themselves.
Case in point– here in Namibia, the country is between a rock and a hard place. Big time. Namibia’s economy is stalling. GDP growth is a mere 0.7% year over year, and unemployment has been estimated at anywhere between 28.4% to 51.2%. They just haven’t figured out which math to use yet.
Meanwhile, inflation in Namibia is becoming uncomfortably high. The official rate that the government acknowledges is at least 7%, but the street rate is well into double digits.
In the wealthy part of the world, they pretend that inflation doesn’t exist because Wal Mart cut the price of the iPhone 4S from $188 to $148. Of course, that doesn’t mean much in Namibia. These aren’t exactly the folks lining up at the Apple store.

Britain’s coveted AAA credit rating was under renewed pressure last
night after a leading international agency threatened to downgrade the
entire European Union.
Moody’s Investors Service cut the outlook on the EU’s AAA rating to ‘negative’ – warning the union could be stripped of its top notch credit score if the eurozone debt crisis escalates.
It said the decision reflected worries over the finances of Europe’s chief paymasters – Germany, France, the UK and the Netherlands – which supply nearly half of EU budget revenues.
The agency said: ‘It is reasonable to assume that the EU’s creditworthiness should move in line with the creditworthiness of its strongest key member states.’
The intervention piled pressure on eurozone leaders and the European Central Bank to tackle the three-year-old debt crisis which threatens the single currency.

Spain
has issued a veiled warning that it will not accept a full bail-out
from Europe if the terms are too harsh, a move that would paralyse the
European Central Bank and call the euro’s survival into question.
by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, The Telegraph:
In an escalating game of brinkmanship, Spanish finance minister Luis de Guindos said his country is not yet willing to sign a Memorandum giving up fiscal sovereignty to EU inspectors. “First of all, one must clarify the conditions,” he told German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Mr de Guindos said the crisis engulfing the region is larger than any one country and warned north Europe not to scapegoat Spain. “My colleagues are aware that the battle for the euro will be fought in Spain. Spain is right now the breakwater for the eurozone,” he said, adding that “solidarity” would be well-advised.
The warning comes as German Chancellor Angela Merkel leaves for Madrid for talks with premier Mariano Rajoy to thrash out the conditions of a full sovereign rescue of up €300bn (£238bn), beyond the €100bn bank rescue already agreed.

Participation was up 0.4 percent from May and 3.3 percent higher than a year earlier and has remained greater than 46 million all year as the unemployment rate stayed higher than 8 percent. New jobless numbers will be released Sept. 7.
“Too many middle-class families who have fallen on hard times are still struggling,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in an e-mailed statement today. “Our goal is to get these families the temporary assistance they need so they are able to get through these tough times and back on their feet as soon as possible.”
Food-stamp spending, which more than doubled in four years to a record $75.7 billion in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2011, is the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s biggest annual expense.

The Audit legislation will direct the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which is an independent congressional agency, to oversee a full review of the Fed’s monetary policy while conducting an audit of them and their decisions will be turned over to the Federal Open Market Committee.

Missing from the front page headlines over the past two days of both the Financial Times and the Wall St. Journal is the fact that French President Francois Hollande went against his campaign promises and just nationalized the second-largest real estate group in the country, CIF.
The laughably circular (and therefore quite tiring) state of affairs in Europe is getting very bad. As we warned back on May 25, the then-predicted failure of the French mortgage lender may be the crack in the wall that brings the effects of European Union (EU) insolvency to the States.

US manufacturing contracted at its fastest pace in more than three years in August and US construction spending dropped in July by the greatest amount in a year, the disappointing ISM index and construction spending data were released yesterday.
These reports ignite further hope for investors that Ben Bernanke will launch QE. Gold rose 4.5% in August and is now targeting the $1,700 price level again, the most since January, on speculation that the Federal Reserve will add to its $2.3 trillion bond-buying program.
Investors are awaiting the key US employment data due on Friday for further signals on the poor health of the US economy.
Bill Gross, the co-chief investment officer and founder of Pacific Investment Management Co., manager of the world’s biggest bond fund, said in a Twitter post yesterday that signs that the European Central Bank will also increase steps to boost economic growth are “very reflationary” and mean that investors should “buy gold, TIPS and real assets.”

Jim Rogers says that the Federal Reserve
is secretly printing money to avoid “getting egg on their face again”
after previous attempts to kick-start the collapsing economy when the
$2.3 Trillion from QE1 and QE2 failed. One look at the Fed’s balance
sheets, and one can see assets are building and it is not coming from
the tooth fairy. Jim Rogers went on to say that there is no end in
sight to the euro-zone’s problems as he sees more EU debt piled onto
old.

it is still a good idea, after preparing, to keep stacking physical.

1. When did we stop asking, “Can we afford this?” along with “Is this a good idea?” when it comes to government programs?
2. When did sticking to the Constitution and living within our means become “extremism?”
3. When did we stop caring if government programs worked or not as long as they sound compassionate?
4. When did we come to believe that we would never have to pay off our debt?
