It is coming here soon,” Ferguson concluded. “The key decisions not just for the next four years but for the next 20 years will take place in Asia, not in the US. Welcome to the future.” <br />http://www.duffminster.com/times/node/333Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-29108066670667904762011-05-13T11:16:25.224-06:002011-05-13T11:16:25.224-06:00Do Not Think That ...anyone that should go to jail...Do Not Think That ...anyone that should go to jail will...<br /><br /><br />The People vs. Goldman Sachs<br /><br />The legal definition of financial fraud may be murky and complex, but everybody knows you can't lie to Congress.<br /><br />"Article 18 of the United States Code, Section 1001," says Loyola University law professor Michael Kaufman.

We<br />have to understand the nature of the beast in order to prepare for the<br />future based upon simply what always unfolds under these<br />circumstances. This is the real driving force behind the shift from<br />PUBLIC to PRIVATE assets on the horizon.<br /><br />The<br />bankers today have infiltrated government to such an extent, that we<br />have lost all sense of for the people by the people. It is now for the<br />oligarchy and by the oligarchy.

When asked about the volatility Turk stated, “In a bull market there are a lot of opportunities to be shaken out. News comes up, downdrafts occur and you will see a lot of emotional reactions, but you really have to focus on the long haul. It’s been the same thing Eric, we’ve dealt with this many times before. Over the past ten years, back in the $320’s (on gold), back in the $400’s, the $700 area, it wasn’t going to get over $1,000 and then it finally did and here we are again. But at the end of the day gold is still holding above $1,500 and that in my mind is very, very important.”<br /><br />When asked what will trigger the hyperinflation Turk responded, “What actually happens and what is quite clear is that there is usually some kind of event, it’s a tipping point. And the event causes people’s confidence in the currency pretty much to evaporate, and once that event occurs you’ve basically got six months before the currency is history.” <br /><br /><br /><br />http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2011/5/12_Turk_-_Tipping_Point_to_Trigger_$_Destruction_%26_Hyperinflation.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-43826018034825025612011-05-11T21:22:02.411-06:002011-05-11T21:22:02.411-06:00Dave: Did you completely cash out your IRA (pay th...Dave: Did you completely cash out your IRA (pay the tax & penalty) then buy PMs?

Now the Justice Department should bring criminal charges<br />The legal definition of financial fraud may be murky and complex, but everybody knows you can't lie to Congress.<br /><br />"Article 18 of the United States Code, Section 1001," says Loyola University law professor Michael Kaufman.

The punishment is up to five years in federal prison.<br /><br />This isn't just a matter of a few seedy guys stealing a few bucks. This is America: Corporate stealing is practically the national pastime, and Goldman Sachs is far from the only company to get away with doing it. But the prominence of this bank and the high-profile nature of its confrontation with a powerful Senate committee makes this a political story as well. If the Justice Department fails to give the American people a chance to judge this case — if Goldman skates without so much as a trial — it will confirm once and for all the embarrassing truth: that the law in America is subjective, and crime is defined not by what you did, but by who you are.<br /><br />Timberwolf, the most notorious of Goldman's scams, was another car whose engine exploded right out of the lot. As with Hudson, Goldman clients who bought into the deal had no idea they were being sold the "cats and dogs" that the bank was desperately trying to get off its books. An Australian hedge fund called Basis Capital sank $100 million into the deal on June 18th, 2007, and almost immediately found itself in a full-blown death spiral. "We bought it, and Goldman made their first margin call 16 days later," says Eric Lewis, a lawyer for Basis, explaining how Goldman suddenly required his client to put up cash to cover expected losses. "They said, 'We need $5 million.' We're like, what the fuck, what's going on?" Within a month, Basis lost $37.5 million, and was forced to file for bankruptcy.<br /><br />Those "All-Americans" were the assets in the Timberwolf deal. These were the recycled nightmare dregs of the mortgage craze — to quote Beavis and Butt-Head, "the ass of the ass."<br /><br /><br />http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-people-vs-goldman-sachs-20110511?page=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-1625260582176711282011-05-11T16:12:23.226-06:002011-05-11T16:12:23.226-06:00Ugly stuff in Ireland.
