Mark Grant On The Dangerous Road Ahead
Of the twenty-five largest banks in the world there is only one that
does not need to raise additional capital to de-lever to a 20x leverage
and a 5% of Tangible Capital Ratio and that is Citigroup which has a
current leverage of just 13 times and I also point out that Wells Fargo
with a 14 times leverage needs a minor amount of capital to accomplish
these goals. At the far other end of this scale is Deutsche Bank which
is levered 62 times and would need a massive amount of new capital and
tremendous shrinkage to accomplish these goals. The assets of DB are
also equivalent to the entire GDP of Germany so that the bank could
devour the country if Deutsche Bank were to hit the wall. Then the most
leverage can be found at Credit Agricole at 66 times which would also
swamp France, given its size, if asset values continue to decline or if
Spain or Italy need to be bailed out and the contagion worsens.

Time To Pay Your Taxes, Slaves
from Dollar Vigilante:
As an expatriate PT (Permanent Tourist or Prior Taxpayer) I legally do
not have to pay income taxes. Nearly a decade ago when I lived in
Canada and complained about the socialist government and the taxes many
brainwashed government lovers would tell me, “if you don’t like it,
leave.”
I happily did and it’s been easily one of the best things I’ve ever done. Nothing feels so great as not having to track all your income and expenses and spending hours, days or weeks “filing” your taxes. So, each year around this time I get awakened from my own little bubble in paradise when I see a headline reminding the serfs that it is time to pay their due. This year in the US it is April 17th. In Canada it is April 30th.
SLAVE ON SLAVE ACTION
There is an old joke in Canada that comments on the socialist, slave nature of Canada versus the more entrepreneurial, capitalist nature of Americans. This joke doesn’t apply as much anymore as the US has sunk to Canadian levels… and the Canadians, almost miraculously, have possibly become more capitalistic in some ways now than Americans.

Farming can once again be one of the great areas of the world economy as
economies of scale come into play, higher prices come into play, and
technology comes into play. Few are rushing out to buy a farm yet; but it
will come. - *in MarketWatch*

Spain Credit Default Swaps Skyrocket/Spanish 10 yr yields at 5.98%/Italian 10 yr yield 5.47%
Harvey Organ at Harvey Organ's - The Daily Gold and Silver Report - 1 hour ago
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen: Gold closed down: by $19.70 to $1658.00 with silver falling by $1.13 to $31.38. As I explained to you on Thursday, the bankers will never allow an outside reversal to signal a strong advance for our precious metals. They always raid following this rare event. Early Friday morning, Spanish and Italian bonds rose in yield with word that the ECB supplied a
Assymmetric Secret Servicing Initiative: Obama's Colombia Visit Found To Subsidize Local Alternative Monogamy Market
Obama may not be the most successful president when it comes to creating jobs at home, but when success is measured by the number of blowjobs outsourced abroad, he may be truly second to none, as his visit to Colombia proves before it has officially begun. According to the AP, "A dozen Secret Service agents sent to Colombia to provide security for President Barack Obama at an international summit have been relieved of duty because of allegations of misconduct." Relieved here being a perfectly randomly selected verb. Because according to a tip received by The Associated Press "the misconduct involved prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia, the site of the Summit of the Americas. A Secret Service spokesman did not dispute that allegation." Or, as Goldman would call it, an "Asymmetric (Secret) Servicing Initiative" where much more than just inside information is leasked. Unfortunately, while he may be far more successful in generating jobs in Latin America than domestically, even those jobs have proven to be quite transitory, just like virtually all quickie temp jobs "created or saved" in the US in the past several years. Furthermore, just like in the US, we doubt that the incremental wealth benefits will trickle down to the local population. After all, unlike in the US, endogenous Colombian liquidity may be abundant everywhere but certainly not at the central bank, which is far, far tighter at a rate of 5.25% (and rising), compared to extra loose central planners the "developed" world over.
by Mac Slavo, SHTFPlan:
Throughout the clip, as Rousseff discusses her concerns over US monetary policy, President Obama seems visibly annoyed and distant, giving the impression he’d rather be teeing off than discussing the critical monetary, fiscal and economic issues facing the world. The President’s body language – his twiddling of the thumbs, rubbing the corners of his mouth, inability to remain focused – overtly indicates either his complete disinterest in how US monetary policy affects our global trading partners, or that he simply doesn’t understand what this woman is talking about.

What do Kobe Beef and the Titanic have in common? They both are the subjects of articles this week that deal with regulation.
Regulatory democracy is surely a meme of the 20th century, what we call a dominant social theme of a global power elite. These individuals work through government to pass laws and regulations that benefit them and help with the expansion of global governance.
Government is the key to a kind of new world order. And government around the world continues to grow.
The justification for big government is its ability to counteract “market failure” and ensure that private enterprise does not take advantage of the larger public. But this is surely a promotional theme rather than an evident reality.
What disciplines the market is the Invisible Hand of competition. Unfortunately, that hand is lacking when it comes to government solutions.

The resurgence of concerns over the long term solvency of debt laden
Eurozone countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland has
led to refreshed selling of the Euro against the other major currencies
since early April.
Although the market in EUR/USD now seems to have stabilized just over the psychological 1.3000 level, deep questions remain among international investors as to whether the European Central Bank or ECB will be able to manage the ongoing European debt crisis over the coming few years without the trade bloc disintegrating or the common currency being further devalued by the forex market.
Furthermore, investors worried over the ECB’s recent notable balance sheet expansion, which has reportedly grown by roughly 30 percent since current ECB President Mario Draghi took over last November, have returned to buying the Swiss Franc as a relative safe haven for their investment funds.

Doug Casey on Tax Day:

Lew: Doug, the Taxman
cometh, at least for most US citizens who file their annual tax papers
on April 15. We get a lot of letters from readers who know about your
international lifestyle and wonder about the tax advantages they assume
it confers. Is this something you care to talk about?
Doug: Yes; something wicked this way comes, indeed. But first, I have to say that as much as I can understand the guy who flew his airplane into an IRS building, as we once discussed,, I do not encourage anyone to break the law. That’s not for ethical reasons – far from it – but strictly on practical grounds. The Taxman can and will come for you, no matter how great or small the amount of tax he expects to extract from you. The IRS can impound your assets, take your computers, freeze your accounts, and make life just about impossible for you, while you struggle to defend yourself against their claims and keep the rest of your life going. The number of IRS horror stories is beyond counting. As the state goes deeper into insolvency, its enforcement of tax laws will necessarily become more draconian. So you absolutely don’t want to become a target.
Lew: So… just bow down and lick the boots of our masters?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The King World News Internet site was attacked this week in ways that seemed aimed particularly at the network’s revelatory interview April 5 with its London metals market trader source.
The major Internet hosting company that maintains the King World News site reported to the network: “The servers you are hosted on are what we call ‘under guard’ due to external attack. Sometimes there are millions of these attacks. Without these ‘guards’ in place, the servers would effectively become flooded and would be unable to display your website.”
Eric King told GATA today: “The attacks started when the London trader interview piece was released April 5. The attacks continued and intensified when our interview with Jim Sinclair’s futures market analyst, Dan Norcini, was published on April 11. A very powerful entity did not want this information out there.”
