In the first edition of his landmark book ‘Irrational Exuberance,’
published in 2000, the Yale professor of economics and 2013 Nobel
Laureate Robert Shiller presciently warned that stocks looked especially
expensive. In the second edition, published in 2005 shortly before the
real estate bubble crashed, he added a chapter about real estate
valuations.
And in the new edition, due out later this month, Shiller adds a fresh chapter called ‘The Bond Market in Historical Perspective,’ in which he worries that bond prices might be irrationally high. Is this the next bubble to burst in global financial markets? Bond king Bill Gross lost his job for calling this too early but that does not mean it is not going to happen.

Americans have been outraged at our Dear Leader’s proclamation that
people who have entered the United States illegally can stay if they
want to–and that HE gets to decide who those people are, not Congress.
Conservatives and independents have real problems with this blatant,
illegal usurpation of power that the Founders intended for the
legislative branch of government. We have all watched as those here in
the country illegally have demonstrated and even demanded equal rights
and privileges as American citizens–as they are no longer afraid of law
enforcement in this country.
Concerns about the effects on American workers, crime, and terrorism have been at the forefront of the discussion amongst the Right. However, the White House’s real agenda was made clear by officials testifying in front of Congress this week. The Washington Times reports:
from Zeal:
Gold’s sharp early-year surge has fizzled in recent weeks as
investment demand faded. The primary reason is the universal belief
that the Fed’s upcoming rate hikes are very bearish for gold. Higher
rates will make zero-yielding gold relatively less attractive, argues
this popular thesis. But history proves just the opposite. Gold
actually thrives in rising- and higher-rate environments, so rate hikes
are nothing to fear.
This notion definitely seems counterintuitive today. When the Fed finally begins letting interest rates start to normalize after actively suppressing them for years on end, yields on bonds and cash in the form of money-market funds will rise. That will make these asset classes more appealing to investors. So they will migrate out of gold, which yields nothing, into the new higher-yielding bonds and money-market funds.

Ron Paul: Ukraine Coup Planned By Nato And EU
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/14/2015 - 13:30 As Ron Paul recently exclaimed, the war propagandists are very active and are winning over the support of many unsuspecting American citizens. So we thought the followingg 90 seconds of 'pure Paul' would provide a refreshingly different perspective as he explains, "I'm not pro-Russia, I'm not pro-Putin, I'm pro-facts." And with the US government having no more credibility in telling us the truth about the facts that require us to expand our military presence in this region - and many others - than Brian William; perhaps it is time to listen.Greek Government "Not Holding Out Much Hope" For Monday Even As Market Signals Deal Imminent
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/14/2015 - 11:48 According to Kathimerini, late last night, Greek PM Tsipras chaired a meeting of his cabinet on Friday night to brief ministers on the state of talks with the eurozone. "With the possibility of the government having to make a compromise with the eurozone over the way forward in the next few days, Tsipras was eager to assess the mood of his cabinet. Some members, such as Energy Minister Panayiotis Lafazanis have been adamant that the government should stick to its pre-election pledges." Which probably suggests that Greece is if not about to fold, then certainly cave on most, if not all, of its demands. Still, Greece is hopeful that some deus ex machina will appear in the last minute, and that delaying the inevitable will give it some further leverage. Which explains why, as Kathimerini reported, "the government is not holding out much hope for a solution in Brussels on Monday.

Reasons To Believe Are Wearing Thin: The Benefit Of The Doubt Is Cracking

The Untold Story Of A Ukrainian Sniper Who Took Part In The Maidan Massacre
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2015 - 23:24 In order to preserve the western narrative that the violent Ukraine coup was not one staged, massive, and very deadly false flag event, protest organisers have always denied any involvement. Which is why stories such as the one we wrote in March, which revealed that "Behind The Kiev Snipers It Was Somebody From The New Coalition" - A Stunning New Leak Released" got precisely zero traction in the western press. But now, for the first time, one man has spoken up and told the BBC a different story.
from OPED News:
At long last, the Obama administration has submitted a draft resolution to Congress that would authorize the ongoing U.S.-led military intervention against the Islamic State, or ISIS.
The effort comes more than six months after the U.S. began bombing targets in Iraq and Syria. Since then, some 3,000 U.S. troops have been ordered to Iraq, and coalition air forces have carried out over 2,000 bombing runs on both sides of the border.
Better late than never? Maybe not.
The language proposed by the White House would authorize the president to deploy the U.S. military against the Islamic State and “associated persons or forces” for a period of three years, at which point the authorization would have to be renewed.

I’m continually surprised that many people do not understand what I
mean when I say that Medicare spending at the federal level is growing
at an exponential rate. I recently discussed this issue through Twitter
with Jeffery Sachs, a Harvard Ph.D. and long time advisor to the United
Nations, and even he didn’t see that this growth was unsustainable and
doomed to collapse.
Linear growth is easy to understand. When graphed, it moves in a straight line. If you put one penny in a jar every day, in 100 days you will have a dollar. But exponential growth is less intuitive. You probably learned about how to calculate exponents in the 5th or 6th grade. One way to use exponents is to multiply a number by itself a set number of times, represented by x^y.

One Of The Most Terrifying Predictions Of 2015
David Stockman: “The central banks as late as 2006 had combined balance sheets of $5 trillion. Today it’s $16 trillion. Total outstanding credit in the world is now past $200 trillion. There are going to be enormous losses and cascading effects. There is a huge amount of dislocation on the way and it’s going to be devastating in its scope and intensity.
There is going to be a massive conflagration (extensive fire that destroys assets) in the financial markets. It’s going to be the Great Repricing of all kinds of financial instruments — stocks and bonds.

Here is a short preview of a two-part Full Disclosure Network series covering how the Department of Homeland Security terrorized a Federal Border Encorcement Officer who reported to the FBI, the unscreened, illegal entry of 23 aliens from terrorist countries.
Julia Davis, Customs & Border Protection Agent discovered the illegal entries occurred when the interrogation unit at the San Ysidro Port of Entry was completely shut down on the 4th of July, a designeated High Terror date thus preventing any screening, fingerprinting, or identification as to who they were. Julia describes the horror that took place when DHS went into protective mode to keep the incident from becoming public. She became the target for having exposed what looks more and more like a coordinated plot by government authorities to facilitate the illegal entry of people from terrorist countries for unkown reasons.

Silver has carved out a cyclical bottom formation and appears to in a
solid uptrend. There is massive physical demand supporting this move.
For the last three-plus years, the precious metals market has been in a
trading pattern in which you were supposed to sell the rallies. Now
silver – and the rest of the sector – appears to be in a pattern in
which all dips should be bought/accumulated.
SLV moved from a $14.66 in early November to $17.61 on Jan. 20, 2015. This is a 20.5% move in a little over 10 weeks. Stock market heroin addicts would kill for a move like that in that short of a period. I wrote and article for Seeking Alpha in which I show a great chart of SLV and discuss why I believe that silver will be the best performing asset of 2015. You can read that article here: Silver Is The Place To Be In 2015.

I love technology, and in spite of my bearish bent, I am a huge
technology optimist and futurist. I was foaming-at-the-mouth bullish on
Facebook back in 2008, when it was not yet public, at a $20 billion
valuation. I said it would someday be worth $100 billion. People threw
rotten eggs at me. It is now worth twice that.
I said it would be worth a trillion. It’s not there yet. Back then, in 2008, in the middle of the gosh-darn financial crisis, people were already talking about the bubble brewing in Silicon Valley.
Seven years later, I think that is a more reasonable discussion to have.

In an effort to really instill trust back into New York residents, NYPD
has decided to be extra vigilant about finding drugs in all the wrong
places. Are you a female who enjoys the occasional ‘lolli’? Then of
course you must be a drug lord deserving of a good kick, tackle and a
literal roll in the grass only to find an unidentified plain clothes
brute on top of you. Last spring, detective Sekou Bourne thought he’d do
some sleuthing by conspicuously poking about Jarnale Henry’s apartment
building. To her, it must have looked like some creeper hanging out for
odd lengths of time.
“What do you want?” she asked.
With such a provocative question, laced with mystery, it was clear to him he must immediately inflict violence.

A Den of Corruption
A ruling class, no matter its spots or stripes, is everywhere given to over-privileging its own. And the stronger its hold on power, the greater is its accumulation of wealth relative to those outside the power circles.
I recently had occasion to update my thinking on China, its massive waste generation in the last 10-15 years, and Chinese Communist Party members as major beneficiaries of this massive waste, and therefore also the continued need for Xi Jinping to keep cleaning up the more blatant instances of corruption and wealth transfer. The commodities boom of the 2000ds proved to be backed by a massive wave of over-production, waste and a social movement to self-enrichment by the privileged class of China. President Xi Jinping in many ways is now contributing to lowering commodity prices as a byproduct of his crackdown.
