The Ministry Of Propaganda Declares Ron Paul "Unelectable"
The Status Quo's Ministry of Propaganda has a single political task for 2012: eliminate the sole threat to the Status Quo (Ron Paul) from the running, leaving voters with a "choice" of clueless stooges for the Power Elite. That roster includes President Obama and the daytime-TV/soap-opera field of Republicrat contenders. The Ministry of Propaganda has settled on a ludicrous strategy to eliminate Ron Paul: declare Paul "unelectable." As with all propaganda, the basic idea is that if it is repeated often enough on officially sanctioned stages, it will eventually be accepted as "true." Our Christmas-New Year's week of family visits took us to homes where the television is on all the time, and as a result I was exposed to the Ministry of Propaganda's preferred media, TV "news." Regardless of the channel or program, the message was the same: "The presidential race will between Obama and either Romney or Gingrich." Despite the polls that find Paul and Romney with equal levels of support in Iowa, Romney has been declared the front-runner and Paul written off as "unelectable." In other words, the voters don't even need to check in; the Ministry of Propaganda's army of toadies, lackeys and media apparatchiks have their marching orders: repeat that Ron Paul is unelectable at every opportunity, either explicitly or implicitly via leaving him off the list of "frontrunners."
Concerns about subversion grow after Republican strategist says GOP establishment will not allow Ron Paul to win
by Paul Joseph Watson, InfoWars.com:
Tonight’s
final vote tally for the Iowa caucuses will take place at a secret
undisclosed location, an announcement that has stoked fears of vote
fraud amongst Ron Paul supporters, concerns that were heightened
following a Republican insider’s claim that the GOP establishment will
not allow Paul to win.
The final Iowa vote count normally takes place at state party headquarters in Des Moines, but following dubious “security concerns” about Occupy protesters disrupting the tabulation process, the Republican Party of Iowa announced that it would be moving the final vote count to a secret undisclosed location.
The move occurred despite Occupy protest leaders confirming there were no plans to disrupt the caucuses themselves.

Swiss Central Bank’s Attempts To Keep The Currency From Strengthening Will Ultimately Fail
In my experience in currency markets, the markets have more money than any central bank. - *in CNBC* *Jim Rogers is an author, financial commentator and successful international investor. He has been frequently featured in Time, The New York Times, Barron’s, Forbes, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times and is a regular guest on Bloomberg and CNBC.*
by Ryan McMaken, LewRockwell.com:
Like virtually every country on earth, the United States has a long and sordid history of persecuting minority groups in the name of national security, safety and cultural “preservation.” This can include racial minorities, religious minorities and even linguistic minorities.
The level of persecution varied from short-term hostility and small-scale mob violence, as with German-speaking Americans during the First World War, up to outright chattel slavery as with the Black Americans in many American states, and to a systematic attempt at extermination as with the plains Indians. And in between are those many groups such as Americans of Japanese descent, or Mexican descent, for example, who at various times in history were denied the protection of American law which led to forfeiture of property, income, privacy and freedom.

Sale prices for gold and silver brought out the bargain hunters with gold and silver both gaining more than two per cent in value, bringing to an end the sell-off that closed last year.
New Year cheer for bullion was predicted in the ArabianMoney newsletter with specific ideas for precious metal investments over the course of 2012 (sign-up here).
Prices Rebound
We see this far more as a rebound from oversold price levels with hedge funds keen to get back into this asset class than a response to some bellicose statements from Iran or for that matter the new leadership in North Korea.
Gold and silver’s fundamental appeal has not lost its shine. Indeed, the money printing by global central banks is lining precious metals up for some huge advances in the near future.

Gerald Celente on France 24 – 30.Dec.2011
by Jeffrey Tucker, Whiskey and Gun Powder:
Twenty
years ago, and much to the shock of just about everyone, the mighty
Soviet Union, the very embodiment of Hegel’s view of the state as the
divine on Earth, dissolved and disappeared. The malicious foe of the
U.S., the deadly grizzly that was said to wander the world seeking whom
it would devour, just rolled over. .
What’s more, the satellite states became independent nations. The empire on its borders devolved into a series of secessions. The map looked totally different one day to the next.
The central power — said to be ruthless and all controlling — lacked the will to fight it out and just gave up, completely unable to control events. The pretense of communism in all these places was dropped, industry was privatized, the countries adopted their old names and their populations were rolled into the global division of labor after 50-plus years of being shut out.

Foreign individuals, pension funds and trusts will be able to subscribe to public offers of an Indian company. “Qualified foreign investors will be able to invest in initial public offers or follow-on public offers as well,” a finance ministry official said. The issue of voting rights for QFIs is also under discussion with market regulator Sebi, which is expected to issue a detailed notification by January 15, the official said. India had on Sunday announced its decision to allow QFIs to directly invest in the Indian equity market. A QFI is an individual, group or association resident in a foreign country that is compliant with Financial Action Task Force standards. QFIs do not include FIIs or their sub-accounts. – Economic Times
Dominant Social Theme: A brave new world of investment opportunities beckons.
Free-Market Analysis: We reported the other day on how China has further opened up its “markets” to “investments.” And now India is doing the same thing (see article above). Coincidence? We try to look past that these days.

Iran Threatens Action If US Returns to Persian Gulf (with James Corbett)
from GoldMoney.com:
The
price of gold started the year on a positive note, rebounding from
support at $1,550 per troy ounce back towards $1,600 and extending its
decade long bull market. The future looks just as bright for the yellow
metal, as real interest rates remain negative around the world and, as Bloomberg reports
the world’s largest governments are facing the daunting task of
refinancing over 7 trillion dollars in 2012. As the markets’ appetite
for sovereign bonds dries up and the perception of fixed income as
“riskless assets” goes the way of the dodo, the easiest way out for the
debtors will be to print and inflate.
Improving macroeconomic numbers from the US are being seen by some economists as the first signs of accelerating inflation, especially given the rise in key energy and agricultural commodities, while others are playing the “green shoots” song again. Meanwhile the Chinese slowdown, exemplified by the Hang Seng Index’s 9 month and 25% drop, has sparked increasing concern over whether the Asian giant will see a soft or hard landing, and how that will affect the world economy. Both Japan and China will be less enthusiastic buyers of US sovereign debt, unless of course it is done with newly printed money and for currency manipulation purposes.

America is an Insecure Empire: Catherine Austin Fitts
Ellis Martin Report with Dudley Baker “Bottom’s Up in 2012″
In
1983 over 60 percent of American workers had some kind of
defined-benefit plan. Today less than 20 percent have access to a plan
and the majority of retired Americans largely rely on Social Security as
their de facto retirement plan.
from mybudget360.com:
As many Americans enter into retirement they are realizing one unfortunate thing. The new retirement plan is no retirement at all. Over the last few decades Americans
were promised the idea of a comfortable retirement yet none of this has
materialized because of financial swindling and a real estate bubble
that will go down in the record books. On the flip side, many Americans
went into massive debt and consumed their future nest egg today with
big purchases outside of their budgets. So what are we left with
today? We are left with over 75,000,000 baby boomers entering into
retirement with very little saved. One out of three Americans
has absolutely no money saved to their name. In 1983 over 60 percent
of working Americans had some sort of defined-benefit pension plan.
Today that number is below 20 percent. With the average worker making $25,000 a year the media designed idea of retirement is largely just another fantasy.

U.S. Debt Reduction Top Concern for Iowa Voters
from End of The American Dream:
Once
again, the Republican Party is being tempted to vote for “the lesser of
two evils”. A lot of Republicans are actually considering voting for
Mitt Romney because they have bought the lie that he has “the best
chance” of defeating Barack Obama in 2012. But just because he is the
Republican candidate that is most like Barack Obama does not mean that
he has the best chance of defeating him. The truth is that no
self-respecting Republican should ever vote for Mitt Romney. A vote for
Mitt Romney is a vote for the New World Order. Romney comes from the
financial establishment, he is being showered with money from the
financial establishment and he supports all of the goals of the
financial establishment. This year, millions upon millions of dollars
are being funneled into Romney’s campaign and into pro-Romney
organizations. The New World Order is literally trying to buy the 2012
election for their dream candidate. Romney would be the ultimate Wall
Street puppet, and if you cast a vote for Mitt Romney you are playing
right into the hands of the financial elite.
If you do not believe that a vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for the New World Order, just consider Mitt Romney’s positions on the issues….
