Amity Shlaes is a senior fellow in economic history at the Council on Foreign Relations. Her writings are followed carefully by the top of the top at CFR.

A “tidal wave” of defaults in the municipal bond market is still building and will eventually hit the United States, says Wall Street analyst Meredith Whitney.
Many U.S. cities, towns and municipalities are insolvent but are treading along similar to how Greece did for years before officially defaulting.
In late 2010, Whitney told 60 Minutes that municipal defaults could run up into the hundreds of billions of dollars although that hasn’t happened. Maybe not officially, but insolvency is a deepening problem, and defaults are still on the way.

No matter how often the pretty people on television tell us that the U.S. economy is getting better, it isn’t going to change the soul crushing agony that millions of American families are going through right now. The stock market may have gotten back to where it was in 2008, but the job market sure hasn’t. As I wrote about a few days ago, the percentage of working age Americans that are actually employed has stayed very flat since late 2009, and the average duration of unemployment is hovering near an all-time high. Sadly, this is not just a temporary downturn. The U.S. economy has been slowly declining for several decades and is nearing total system failure. Right now, many poverty statistics are higher than they have ever been since the Great Depression. Many measurements of government dependence are the highest that we have ever seen in all of U.S. history. The emerging one world economic system (otherwise known as “free trade”) has cost the U.S. economy tens of thousands of businesses, millions of jobs and hundreds of billions of dollars of our national wealth. The federal government is going into unprecedented amounts of debt in order to try to maintain our current standard of living, but there is no way that they will be able to sustain this kind of borrowing for too much longer. So enjoy this bubble of false prosperity while you can, because things will soon get significantly worse.

Did
you know that the federal government claims that it can take away your
constitutional rights any time that it wants to? Over the past several
decades, there have been an endless parade of laws and executive orders
that have been slowly and methodically carving up our rights under the
U.S. Constitution. Most Americans are not even aware of the “creeping
totalitarianism” that is happening. Most Americans just trust the
“authorities” when they tell us that certain things “must be done” in
order to keep us all safe. But even if we gave up all of our privacy,
even if we gave up all of our liberties and our freedoms, and even if we
gave the government all of our stuff they still would not be able to
keep us safe. It is inevitable that evil people are going to do evil
things, and if you are counting on the Obama administration to keep you
safe then you are being delusional. Obama is not going to save us from
anything. But Obama will gladly take away our rights and our freedoms
if the American people allow him to. The Obama administration seems to
have an endless lust for more power. Sadly, if we do give away our
rights it will have some very serious consequences. If we freely give
away all of the rights that we have been given under the U.S.
Constitution it will be incredibly difficult to ever get them back.
Giving up liberty for security never works, and if we want to be worthy
of being called Americans then we need to start standing up for the

“In a nutshell, it’s the blueprint for Peacetime Martial Law and it gives the president the power to take just about anything deemed necessary for “National Defense”, whatever they decide that is.” (The Intel Hub)
While millions of people have been preparing for the possibility of a catastrophic event by relocating to rural homesteads or farms, as well as stockpiling food, water, personal defense armaments and other essential supplies with the intention of utilizing these preparations if the worst happens, the latest executive order signed by President Obama on March 16, 2012 makes clear that in the event of a nationally deemed emergency all of these resources will fall under the authority of the United States government.
The signing of the National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order grants the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, the Department of Defense and other agencies complete control of all US resources, including the ability to seize, confiscate or re-delegate resources, materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense as delegated by the following agencies:

"This Time It's Different?" - David Rosenberg Explains The Melt Up And The Latent Risks
The market is ripping. That much is obvious. What some may have forgotten however, is that it ripped in the beginning of 2011... and in the beginning of 2010: in other words, what we are getting is not just deja vu (all on the back of massive central bank intervention time after time), but double deja vu. The end results, however, by year end in both those cases was less than spectacular. In fact, in an attempt to convince readers that this time it is different, Reuters came out yesterday with an article titled, you guessed it, "This Time It's Different" which contains the following verbiage: "bursts of optimism have sown false hope before... Today there is a cautious hope that perhaps this time it's different." So the trillions in excess electronic liquidity provided by everyone but the Fed (constrained in an election year) is different than the liquidity provided by the Fed? Got it. Of course, there are those who will bite, and buy the propaganda, and stocks. For everyone else, here is a rundown from David Rosenberg explaining why stocks continue to move near-vertically higher, and what the latent risks continue to be.Still think your vote counts?

Central Banks: These Actions Will Have Consequences
Admin at Marc Faber Blog - 4 hours ago
First of all, I do not believe that the central banks around the world will
ever, and I repeat ever, reduce their balance sheets. They’ve gone the path
of money printing and once you choose that path you’re in it, and you have
to print more money.
In the short term, it has been working to some extent in the sense that
equity prices are up and interest rates are down. And, so companies can
issue bonds at extremely low rates. But every money printing exercise in
the world leads to unintended consequences at a later point. And, this is
the important issue to remember. We don’t know yet... more »

Obama administration’s move to update an executive order to allow the
government to seize control of virtually every aspect of society in both
emergency and non-emergency situations lays the groundwork for the
future nationalization of the U.S. economy.
Entitled “National Defense Resources Preparedness,” Obama signed the executive order late Friday afternoon. Such timing is normally a deliberate ploy to prevent a controversial issue from being picked up by the news cycle. Recall that Obama signed the highly contentious National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve.

MUMBAI (MINEWEB) – Silver, the poor man’s gold, has turned out to be the winner in India’s budgetary excise duty cuts by escaping the attention of the Finance Minister. Investors in India are keen to push silver above the recent channel high with traders insisting that it will be more than speculation that will drive demand for the white metal.
“Silver has clearly been exempted for a reason,” said Prithviraj Kothari, president of the Bombay Bullion Association. “Out of $50 billion worth of imports of precious metals into India, silver imports were just $4 billion, while that for gold was the other $46 billion,” he said.
On Friday, India’s Finance Minister exempted branded silver jewellery from excise duty. Silver coins of purity 99.9% and above were also exempted from excise duty. However, the excise duty on refined gold was doubled from 1.5% to 3%.

Dear Presidential Candidates: Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc.
Watching your debates and speeches of late, it is clear that you are all (with possibly the exception of Ron Paul) missing the point and only continuing to widen the gap between the US Government and the American people.
In some regards, this is not entirely your fault. You all are doubtless surrounded by strategists and experts who ascribe to the dominant economic theories of the last 80 years; namely that Government and monetary intervention can “fix” any economic problems this country faces. Mr. President I know for a fact that your inner circle of advisors is comprised of individuals who owe their current jobs and fortunes to bailouts (Mr. Immelt and Mr. Buffett to name two).

Here’s the scene. It was an overcast day in southern England last March. That is to say, a normal day in southern England.
Attempting to retrieve something that had blown into the water, 41-year old Simon Burgess slipped and fell into a 3 1/2 foot-deep pond. He then suffered a seizure. His body, lying motionless and face down in the water, was spotted at 12:15pm by a witness who immediately called 999 emergency services (like 911).
Within five minutes, emergency crews began arriving. Then more. Then more. 36-minutes after the initial phone call, no fewer than 25 emergency workers were at the scene. They brought out a state of the art emergency medical tent, resuscitation equipment, several fire engines, ambulances, and specialty dive gear.

Freedom

one at a time. First they go after freedoms that most people deem
unnecessary or repugnant, like using drugs or advertising tabacco. Then
they go after the freedoms that matter to you, like speech, the right to
defend yourself, buying light bulbs or so many others that are
currently under attack. Marijuana prohibitions are supported by law
enforcement lobbyists who cash in big time. Just follow the money and
you’ll see. How much of our law enforcement infrastructure would be

cut back?
And now words comes out that the largest NSA domestic spying center in history is being constructed in a remote part of Utah.

In Part 1, Something Wicked This Way Comes, we discussed the “Dumbing Down of America” and I tried to provide examples of the effectiveness of the campaign. Most do not realize that they fall directly in the cross hairs “of those who would be kings”. As I pointed out in a previous essay, Paradise Lost:
“We are not being shepherded by altruistic wise men, but, rather, herded by megalomaniacal desperadoes.”
It would be one thing if we had any leadership (which we don’t). If we had leaders that actually served their constituencies, and did what they could to insure our safety and well being, and the safety and well being of our children and their children… but we don’t. Rather than looking out for our best interests, they are looking out for what they perceive to be their own best interests. They have been corrupted. Corrupted absolutely. Once corrupted, one cannot become uncorrupted. It is too late to save them. They all need to be put down.
