central banking v central planning

central banking v central planning

North African and European and US leaders and/or bankers have managed to dominate the contemporarily known boundaries of civilization over the last 5,000+ years with their bribes and frames and executions and booms and busts and wars.

But now 2 things are happening:

* the planet is reacting to the abuse subjected upon it by these western policies based on short-term gain.
* China's central planning philosophy, based on increasing market-share for long-term gain through central planning, is asserting itself.

There is little evidence that the ancient Asian empires ever tried to dominate the contemporarily known boundaries of civilization over the last 5,000+ years as the western empires have.

They mostly tried to keep western influences out.

The biggest incursions into the east by the west were since the discovery of the Americas.

The west had superior military technology (thanks to the earlier Chinese discovery of back powder for fireworks only) and thus the west prevailed.

Now the technologies are comparable and yet I see no great move by China to dominate the world with bribes and frames and executions and booms and busts and wars.

The Chinese know they have some of the same problems as the western countries (like huge income gaps and pollution) but they are not secretly fooling around with money creation or contraction as the west is/has/will, in order to increase the gap between the rich and poor.

The message in the west is don't buy gold and silver, they're volatile, without saying because we made/make/will make them so.

The message in China to its people is buy gold and silver - they're only volatile if we, your leaders, make them so and that is inconsistent with increasing market-share through long-range central planning.

So the scorecard is:

* the west, 5,000+ years of mostly failure to eliminate serfdom, an almost complete failure.
* China, 30+ years of mixed results to eliminate serfdom, too soon to call.

2011: govt shutdown & civil war ii

2011: govt shutdown & civil war ii

An earlier shutdown in 1995 & 1996, followed by almost 15 years of Reagan/Bush1/Clinton, was much milder than the mainstream media hype for a 2011 shutdown after almost 11 years of Bush2/Obama.

For the gory details refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_shutdown_of_1995_and_1996 :

From the report:

"On Nov 14, 1995, at the start of the crisis, the DJIA closed at 4923. By the time the crisis ended on Jan 6, 1996 the DJIA closed at 5181."

Obama will be harsher than Clinton to please the soiopathic tea-partiers to end the shutdown. The Dow is 12,000+ now in July, 2011 and we are in the worst depression of all time, punctuated by 40 years (as of 8/15/1971) of a floating commodity standard. This standard was totally ignored since 2001 when gold was under $500 as well as in 1995-1996. Gold is now $1,600+.

It matters that many will suffer during this shutdown, but nothing huge is going to happen until October, 2011 when over 1 billion Chinese will obey their leaders and try to buy internationally, for the first time, the just over 5 billion ounces of gold in the world.

The gold price will exceed $2000.

That will be the cold water in the face that will wake up the sheeple.

The awakened people will turn on sociopathic mercenaries protecteing the sociopathic banksters in a second, much bloodier war inside the usa.

So I'm calling a government shutdown and Civil War II this year, 2011.

chinese banksters?

chinese banksters?

China has banking issues too but it's not destroying its citizens and residents, like the US, to fix them.

It raises and lowers interest rates to TRY to balance growth w/o excessive inflation.

It APPEARS to be run by a non-lunatic one party government that controls its banks instead of a lunatic-group that is the banks and the government at the same time posing as a two party democracy.

China will go through a banking crisis but I don't see it taxing its people with inflation for the sole purpose of making the upper 1% richer and investing overseas to help the upper 1% at the expense of its exports.

I don't know what the Chinese rulers are thinking but their actions SEEM not to be the US's inflate/crash/bailout loop while fighting undeclared wars for oil and against gold for oil, all of which help the stock market whose shares are mostly owned by the upper 1%.

The US has a bunch of undeclared wars going on while China has friction with Vietnam that can hardly be compared to the US's wars, Afghanistan or Iraq or Libya or Iran, all based on lies.

China's one party can bribe or frame or kill its citizens that disagree with its policies, but
I see it trying to encourage the 30+ million that leave agricultural areas yearly and come to the cities for jobs.

I see it trying to create jobs for them.

They have tough-minded leaders, not sociopaths who will destroy the entire planet if they continue to be left unleashed.

I think China has a strong enough leash for the sociopathic banksters and PLANS to put them down like rabid dogs since their actions reveal they are behaviorally foaming at the mouth, despite their best efforts to dress up in expensive suits and appear as talking heads to convince everyone that US woes are always the fault of Middle Eastern terrorists.

sheepleness: do same 2 things over & over...

sheepleness: do same 2 things over & over...

Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I say, and I'm certainly not comparing myself to Mr. Einstein, sheepleness is doing the same 2 things over and over and expecting a different result.

It's painfully obvious that the sheeple buy stocks and silver when they have confidence and buy gold when they don't.

They vote for the democrats when the republicans don't provide the result they want, and vice-versa.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Want to buy gold?

Wait for the economy to improve a little.

Want to buy silver?

Wait for the economy to get a little worse.

Then account for some manipulation (less soon due to new Pan-Asian Gold Exchange opening in the 4th quarter of 2011) and buy when confidence or lack of confidence, and manipulation have moved the silver and/or gold prices down.

Want to share this insight with the sheeple?

Forget it - most are asleep.

So I don't feel guilty about getting wealth from gold and silver, since most of the sheeple won't allow any fresh air into the room.

I'm actually more of an activist than an investor, so I would like to tell them all this secret.

But they won't listen.

So until things get much worse, our little community, of gold long and silver long buyers, will stay little.

Be still Bill Still?

Be still Bill Still?

Bill Still says the banksters want a gold std.


(Source 2011-7-25-mon facebook group why buy gold? (and silver!)

Say NO to Gold Backed Money : Bill Still - Part 1 of 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9U3lHCgylo )


It seems they can win w one or w/o one. Bill's position is further info for me of 3 things:

* 1. human nature is the problem & it is extremely ill human nature that must be flushed out of the system. Any other pro-this anti-that talk is useless until then. For now, we few (because most others won't listen) buying gold & silver is all we can do to protect ourselves. Bill did say he was heavy in gold and silver, especially silver. THAT'S ALL WE CAN AGREE ON - BUY GOLD & SILVER (the name of the facebook group "why buy gold? (and silver!)" but w/o the "why").

* 2. we are indeed always on a gold (and other commodities) standard so it is no stretch at all for banksters to operate in a fixed or floating gold standard - but how about a variable one with a basket of commodities, proposed as early as the 1920's by the first superstar economist Irving Fisher before he fell out of favor for other reasons?

* 3. some are less interested in getting to the truth than they are in selling gold and/or silver and/or promoting their books and/or movies, e.g. Bill Still & some of the billionaire gold/silver selling businessmen?

The question then is can the world live on a variable gold and or other commodities standard. The US had a gold and silver standard in the 19th Century and was involved in several wars. Perhaps the banksters can function in a variable commodities world as well.

I think they can function well anywhere so I it's up to the Chinese, who I don't think will tolerate the banksters' sociopathic behavior much longer, and will have no problem locking up or hospitalizing the banksters for life, assuming the banksters are lucky.

many ideas but fed will bribe or frame or kill

many ideas but fed will bribe or frame or kill

There are many ideas about what to do about the US deficit, for example, going after the part of the upper 1%'s wealth that came from too-big-to-fails that are really too-big-to-not-fails, making sure currency overproduction never happens again.

But the fed than runs the US will bribe or frame or kill anyone who has the power to put the best ideas in.

There's no way to get where we want to go w/o China cutting the US out of the loop and selling to other countries and to its own people.

It will happen then, after China has bought everything the US has to sell: food, water, gold, silver, land, businesses, shale oil, good mortgages, infrastructure, good business debt, good personal debt, everything that is and isn't nailed down.

Then the sheeple will wake up and buy gold and silver, and the best ideas.

I've said over & over we're always on a commodity std

I've said over & over we're always on a commodity std

I'm fed up with these people trying to sell us gold and silver and/or promoting a book and/or a movie, telling us differently.

They're successful businessmen and/or media personalities, not economists.

I'm not a professional economist either but they don't teach gold and silver in business colleges anyway.

I've thought and read and wrote about it since November, 2010 and my conclusion is that
it's an economic law that as long as gold and/or other commodities are rare and sparsely consumed, they will tell us through marketplace price discovery, even when there is manipulation, if a currency is being debased.

And enough already about commodity standards stopping or slowing growth.

That is only when governments go to the other extreme, create too little currency and refuse to create more because commodities are fixed at certain prices, and they're not going to print more even if the economy comes to a halt because the commodities must stay fixed at those prices.

Right now the commodity standard is floating like an untethered kite, going to the sky thanks to the the fed.

In the past central banks and governments have also sunk the prices of commodities with too little currency.

Either letting the prices float to above the trees or drowning them, these 2 extremes make no sense.

The Chinese have the new reserve currency and they will learn to vary the amounts of currency as needed by the world economy.

This is not rocket science.

Too little inflation, then increase the amount of currency with lower interest rates.

Too much inflation, then reduce the amount of currency with higher interest rates unless there is giant debt bubble about to explode.

This situation, the current one in the US, calls for declaration of bankruptcy like Iceland did.

Actually, floating is the way to go sometimes, but the printing press must belong to sane people who can turn it on, turn it off, or put it in reverse and suck money out of circulation when needed.

But right now there's so many US dollars out there and more on the way, a debt that can never be paid back because of its size.

The only solution is for the US to declare bankruptcy, devalue the dollar and start all over again.

But the US will only submit to bankruptcy if China makes them do so in order to get credit, the life's blood for banksters.

They'll figure the tap will stay on once it's turned on.

Sound of a buzzer - Wrong, the Chinese will turn it off at the first sign of $ creation.

This may lead to a military war.

But unless the banksters push the button and everyone loses, the Chinese will prevail in a non-nuclear, non-biological, non-chemical war.

They have superior wealth due to the smaller, compared to US, size of their debt, and many more people.

And they will arm themselves much more efficiently than the corrupt US "military industrial complex" can.

Checkmate China, financially and militarily.
