11:52 AM abuses, irs, obamacare, taxpayers No Comments

It did not take long, but the first financial abuses in Obamacare are being reported on Sept. 25 in a new investigation conducted by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.  In the report, a healthcare slush fund controlled by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is missing $67 million that the agency is unable to account for, and is a disturbing start to the multi-billion dollar program that has yet to even have its first patient processed.

Gerald Celente: Fed cannot stop tapering without stopping the fake recovery

11:51 AM debt ceiling, fed, gerald celente, taper No Comments

On Sept. 25, trends forecaster Gerald Celente did an interview with Greg Hunter on the USA Watchdog webcast.  In the interview, Celente spoke about the delayed war in Syria, and why the Fed chose to not initiate a tapering of their bond buying program during the recent FOMC meeting earlier this month.  Celente also stated that the primary reason that the Fed held off tapering now was due to how interest rates reacted from just the rumors of a potential taper, and that it will most likely come early next year after the Christmas retail season is complete.

Treasury Secretary Lew attempts to intimidate Congress over debt ceiling

12:22 PM congress, debt ceiling, intimidation, jack lew, obama, treasury secretary No Comments

President Obama picked a good company man when he appointed Jack Lew to replace Timothy Geithner as the newest Secretary of the Treasury.  And like the former head of America’s purse strings did during his time in office, Lew is choosing to use intimidation and threats over negotiation and fiscal planning in regards to the upcoming debt ceiling crisis.

Treasury now estimates that extraordinary measures will be exhausted no later than October 17. We estimate that, at that point, Treasury would have only approximately $30 billion to meet our country’s commitments. This amount would be far short of net expenditures on certain days, which can be as high as $60 billion.  If we have insufficient cash on hand, it would be impossible for the United States of America to meet all of its obligations for the first time in our history.

Earlier this month, a report came out that the NSA has full access to most smartphone operating systems through a backdoor programmed into their platforms during their creation.  And while most users of Apple, RIM, and Samsung devices either knew about this intrusion, or relatively don’t care, the New York Police Department wants to be sure you are in synch with the surveillance state.  On Sept. 18, the NYPD  issued a letter calling for all Apple users to make sure to upgrade to the new iOS7 operating system, and the police even resorted to standing in front of Apple stores while shoppers purchased the new iPhone 5′s to make sure everyone got the message.

UK: “We want to be the leading Islamic finance sector outside of the Muslim world”

1:13 PM britain, sharia finance, sharia law, terrorism, uk No Comments

As the Western financial and banking systems fall steadily towards insolvency and a new credit crisis, the United Kingdom is turning towards Islam as a way to infuse new capital and new programs to stave off their own course of bankruptcy.  By accepting Sharia law and the potential restriction of democratic freedoms, the UK appears willing to give up much of its financial sovereignty to be a major player in the world of Islamic finance.

70% of Americans believe U.S. government is now fascist

7:48 AM america, american people, banks, corporations, fascism, government No Comments

The core definition of fascism is the melding of government and corporations, where laws and decisions are made to benefit banking and industrial entities over that of the people.  And five years after the U.S. government voted to use taxpayer money to bailout out insolvent financial institutions, coupled with central bank QE policy which has benefited Wall Street over Main Street, 70% of Americans now believe our government has become a fascist ideologue in a recent poll.

Eurozone joins President Obama in changing model for GDP reporting

3:08 PM Eurozone, fed, gdp, manipulation, reporting No Comments

Back in April of this year, the Obama administration instituted a change in how GDP is measured, increasing the number reported by more than 3%.  This occurred after the economy had retracted for the prior 2 quarters, and at a time when the national debt was climbing to over 105% of annual GDP.

So as not to be outdone, it appears that the Eurozone has caught on to this idea of manipulating their own GDP numbers in an attempt to make state economies look much better than the vast recession most of the Eurozone is experiencing.

Former Facebook founders want to make Bitcoin the ‘internet of money’

3:34 PM bitcoin, currency, etf, money, winklevoss twins No Comments

Since its inception, Bitcoin and the concept of Bitcoin, has been a refreshing alternative to global central bank control, and the constant devaluation of money.  Relegated to the activist and alternative communities at the beginning of its inception, the currency has since grown to be recognized by a wide range of consumers and investors.

So when a New York district court declared Bitcoin as a currency, and open to regulation, two former Facebook founders saw the opportunity to capitalize on the digital money, and plan a way to expand its exposure through an electronically traded fund (ETF).  And on Sept. 17 in a conference with potential investors, the Winklevoss twins declared that they foresee Bitcoin as the ‘internet of money’, and a new wave of the future.

The financial world was hit with a bombshell on Sept. 15, when the surefire front runner to lead the Federal Reserve shockingly pulled out of the race to replace Ben Bernanke at the end of his term.  The candidate who had a 70% chance of becoming the next Fed Chairman was long time financial power broker Larry Summers, and the vacuum he leaves places as the new favorite, a central banker who admitted that she completely missed the warning signs leading up to the 2008 financial meltdown.

Gold should fall to below $1200 in short term as India dumps on market to stabilize currency

12:09 PM dollar, gold, gold price, india, syria, u.s. No Comments

Over the past 10 days, the spot price of both gold and silver has dropped by more than 9% to stabilize around $1320 per ounce.  This move, which began on Sept. 3, and accelerated around the 9th of the month, is tied primarily to gold leases dumped on the markets by India in an attempt to stave off attacks on the Rupee.

According to a former head trader from the Royal Bank of Scotland, this metals beat down is a reaction to attacks by the U.S. on BRIC nations for attempting to create a new reserve currency and alternative lending facility, and in the short term, could drive the spot price to just below $1200.

On Sept. 9, President Obama laid out a plan to cut the annual cost of living allowance (COLA) from active duty military members, even in the midst of ongoing war efforts.  Claiming economic conditions as the basis for dropping the proposed 1.8% increase down to 1%, the President at the same time appeared to disregard budgetary concerns when sending a similar amount of money to support the Muslim Brotherhood during the last fiscal year.

Jim WIllie: U.S. is going to have to split and devalue the dollar for separate foreign and domestic use

11:53 AM dollar, g20, gazprom, gold backed, reserve currency, russia, syria No Comments

Dr. Jim Willie, statistician, economist, and publisher the Hat Trick newsletter, spoke in an interview with USA Watchdog on Sept. 8 regarding the G20, Syria, and the status of the coming alternative currencies.  In the interview, Willie noted that not only is the world isolating the U.S. in regards to their foreign policy agenda, but they are forcing the U.S. to have to adapt to a new currency system where they will no longer have global control in a petrodollar.  This action could also mean the U.S. having to split their debt backed money, which would lead to a devaluation and massive rise in inflation at home.

This split would entail there being a dollar strictly for domestic use, which would bring instant inflation to American consumers, and an international dollar that foreigners who hold dollar reserves can deal with outside of Fed monetization.

Forget Cyprus, Poland confiscates nations pension funds to pay for their debt

First there was Cyprus, where the EU and the world became exposed to a new form of bank bailout called the ‘bail in’.  Now, Poland has taken the next step when on Sept. 4 the government seized and confiscated half of the nations private pension funds, and collateralized them to help towards paying off their sovereign debts.

Interestingly enough however, the primary function of this confiscation is not about paying off the debt in a move towards eventual solvency, but to expand their collateral base to allow them to borrow even more money, and raise their debt limits.

On Sept. 6, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issued their latest job report numbers, with August’s totals missing expectations by 11000.  More importantly however, was the more than 500000 Americans who fell off the unemployment rolls, which increased the total number of people out of work to just under 91 million.

And with that increase of American workers no longer being counted as participating in the work force, the separation between manipulated U3 rates and the actual unemployment rate, widened to a difference of over 4%.
