In this day and age you need only a computer and an account

In the meantime the Belgian government is writing a shakespearian history like the merchant of Venice
After saving Fortis bank twice they gave half to Holland and half to France and saddled Fortis holding with all the toxic waste and some international insurance activities estimated by experts at 5 euro per share
The shareholders were left with about half a euro per share when the stockmarket got settled . So they went to court , poor misinformed bleating greedy suckers
First court said ok deal is no problem
Second court said no problem
Highest court said we do not agree because management was preasurised on a sunday to agree or to agree
But one of them highest judges was sick and only signed for sick and not for agreement ( Incompetent should have know better as highest judge you would think : probably a good acquaintance of some earl or princeling )
So now we go to cassation because of procedurial error and I am sure after that to the European court Strassbourg I guess
In the meantime I am sick and tired of having a bank that is BNP Paribas one day and nothing the next day and maybe Fortis the day after
But the government guarantees all and sundry deposits . Yeh like they take two years to pay back the tax they overcollected two years before
So I went on another coin buying spree  ;D

As I look back upon world history I can't help but think how stupid humans have been. Every species on the planet, except ONE, thrives, for the most part, with out governments, religion, taxes and, for the most part WARS. Man's arrogance is beyond measure and eventually we will be the endangered species. Governments have turned the bulk of the population into a bunch of whining little uneducated children pleading for more and more. Technology is making current generations lazy and dependant. EXACTLY what those in power need to keep us all in line.
The kids today are taught everything except real life. They haven't a clue where food comes from and couldn't plant a garden if their life depended on it. They can't hunt, fish or trap and, if they do there is someone, with the backing of a lawyer, trying to stop it. The self appointed, self righteous continue to preach their propaganda in an effort to make all of us as stupid as they are and actually feel good about it. As each generation is laid to rest so goes the knowledge that will be needed in the future. Lot of good a damned cell phone will do stuck up to your ear when NO ONE is listening! Hey maybe they can make a video game out of that?

I got one little question this evening. When an organization like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) takes in millions annually HOW is that helping animals? Help them do what? They don't buy land for preserves or wildlife habitat. What are they doing other than using the money as a propaganda tool to plead for more money. I have never seen a rabbit, raccon, fox, skunk, weasel, otter or deer carrying a wallet or handbag. Who are they really helping and how?
Just last year the Indianapolis Human Soceity pleaded for help to provide AIR CONDITIONING for the dogs and cats that were suffering so? And, people buy into that stupidity. IF they are suffering you have two options, TURN them loose as they have been since the beginning of time and let Mother Nature run its course or put them down. Nah, they needed the air conditining, or was it the staff at the center who needed the air conditioning? Well, needless to say, they cried wolf for sooooooo long someone FINALLY got into their bank records and noticed they had three million dollars in the bank! Their reply was simple,
"That was their rainy day fund for future use." (I think they meant for future siphoning off) Guess the little animals were NOT suffering bad enough to get into that? The point I am trying to make is our whole society, regardless where you look, is based upon GREED and corruption. WE need to start some sort of foundation to SAVE something and do it quickly. The media loves a good story so I will get right to work on it. Hey, we need the money for a bomb shelter,....er....I mean research center don't we?

They say a fool and his money are soon parted and this world gives everyone of them multitudes of opportunities to feel good about doing stupid things with their money! And they NEVER question where it went!!! How great is that!

Well it is just as easy to fool the good ole boys about a need for a war. A lot of nasty things can be faked to put the fish into a feeding frenzy. Our fearless leaders, whom I might point out, don't actually doing any of the dirty work, will be right there providing all the reasons needed to march into another mess or perhaps, this time, push the button? The world is way over populated any way, isn't it? Whats a few million dead people if the economy gets a good jump start? Brace yourself the future is coming!

Get used to it.  It is 1930 all over again, and the worst of times are ahead of us in this thing.  The government is spiraling out of control trying to fix things, but the damage is much greater than the government can possibly handle.  Unlike 1930 the government is trying to do something, but it is a little too little too late.

I've read comments by numismatic researchers that they can get a good idea of what people and societies were like at  certain periods from studying coins of that period.

Our clad coins are a core of base metal with obverse and reverse facades. 

Cycles seem to  have a propensity for 20's, ie, 20 years,  40 years, 60 years....etc.  Clad coins came out 43 years ago.  Anyone get the feeling we're  running on fumes? Anyone get the feeling that these political  psychopaths can't even hide their core of lunacy  behind  facades  any longer?

Has anything become more debased in the last 40 years than American Capitalism? "Corporate talent" is an oxymoron.  It  can be  out-sourced to a pick-pocket,  a street-walker or an empty bottle of MD20/20. All three of which may be over qualified.

Since I could not keep the money in Zimbabwe, I used the services of a Diplomatic Courier Company to move this money (registered as official documents) out of Zimbabwe to Europe.At present, my money totalling US$28,750,000. (Twenty eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand United States Dollars) is in Europe and hopefully, it would be paid into an offshore account. Can you help me? Are you trustworthy? Can you handle this money? Are you capable of handling this money?

Little Ben is so little now he's almost a Eunuch. Or a B&W movie where some Spencer Tracy guy hurls the revolver at someone when it runs out of bullets. The Japanese of course did the same thing and people borrowed the money and used it to arbitrage currency and bonds with. Which did nothing to improve the economy.

In case they forgot to look out the window this morning, the lines to buy a McMansion aren't forming up in the streets. As it happens we also have the highest unemployment in decades. Building starts are at their lowest since 1959. In case psycho dad in the white house doesn't know what that means, it's  called "that R word thingy" that's been forbidden to be spoken during his presidency. The odyssey of the American clad coin--a debased metal core and obverse/reverse layers of make believe silver continues. I'm surprised no one is selling water proof cardboard McMansion facades to put in front of their trailers. Not that it really matters. The way this is all going it will just end with  economic cannibalism and "Little Red Books."

The BIG news tonight was one of the BIG 3 announcing they would shut down all their North American plants for a month, starting this Friday, in an effort I suppose to scare the hell out of all America. They failed to mention the fact two of those weeks is a traditional PAID (one way or another) holiday for all their employees. They are shutting down for two weeks and at auto workers )UAW) wages I could afford a few extra weeks off so it is nothing more than a darn show for the media!

I would like for ALL Government, Corporate and Hospital wages and spending to be publicly posted at the end of every month so we all could see what is really going on. I feel sorry for those CEO's who are only making 10 to 20 million (or more) per year while their companies fold like a poorly constructed kite in the wind. Oh, wait!  They are poorly constructed kites that have somehow managed to ride the wind for quite a few years while the dogs at the top sucked the life out of them. Well it sure was good while it lasted. I wonder if we will ever be able to afford another new vehicle that will outlast the warranty?

Hey while we are posting all those other wages how about showing all state and federal income from traffic tickets and crimes, which result in fines, paid to our elected governments? This one would be a shocker. Especially when they can't account for where it went?

I also get a kick out of those big companies that are fined millions, for one reason or another, by state or federal government. Who gets to keep all that money they collect for protecting us consumers? Where does it go?

Now this is an award winning performance
The pound is falling faster then the dollar

Unfortunately for me gold is going up slower then the dollar down so gold in euro is slightly going down

Pound tumbles towards parity with euro
By Esther Bintliff

Published: December 17 2008 11:28 | Last updated: December 18 2008 09:11

Sterling dived to a fresh record low against the euro on Thursday, edging closer to parity as expectations of further cuts in interest rates kept the currency under pressure.

The pound sank more than a cent to £0.9401 against the euro, its weakest level since the creation of the single currency in 1999. Sterling also fell against the dollar, dropping to $1.5380 from $1.5536.

According to Fed officials, the central bank’s approach is distinct from quantitative easing and different from what the Japanese did. The Fed’s balance sheet has two sides: assets with securities the Fed holds (including loans, credit facilities, mortgage-backed securities) and liabilities (cash and bank reserves).

Japan’s quantitative easing program focused on the liability side, expanding cash in the system and excess reserves by a large amount.

The Fed’s focus, however, is on the asset side through mortgage-backed securities, agency debt, the commercial paper program, the loan auctions and swaps with foreign central banks. That’s designed to improve credit-market functioning, the official said.

By expanding the balance sheet by making loans, the focus is not on excess reserves but on the asset side. That securities-lending approach directly affects credit spreads, which is the problem today– unlike Japan earlier, where the problem was the level of interest rates in general.

Will it be more successful than Japan?
I continue to believe that this is worse than Japanese QE in that the Japanese flooded liquidity while the Fed is destroying it’s balance sheet by purchasing toxic bankrupt valueless securities not to mention putting the default risk of the country at high levels. No one ever was concerned about Japanese default, but there are people calling for US default as early as next summer

At a more simplistic level, credit spreads are where they are because the risks of defaults are legitimately high, why are they high? because the end user continues to default -

Madoff is accused of ripping off 50 billion in a Ponzi scam. I guess they misplaced 10 billion last week for it was only 40 then. But if one of us was accused  of ripping off just one million they'd stick us inside of an Iron Maiden and throw the key in the Hudson river. This guy is under house arrest living in what  is undoubtedly  his luxury condo in Manhattan wearing a radio ankle  bracelet. 

In the past, there have been people in this country that were given life sentences under 3 strikes and your out laws, for shoplifting. Won't it be interesting to see what Madoff gets? Assuming that he ever gets to court.

Every week things are more absurd than the week before. There is no logic, justice, rationale, reflection, or even discussion in this country anymore about anything. Those who dissent are enemies. "Those who are not with us are again us." And people don't seem to be very worried  about it. Guess they never read up on the preludes to the U.S Civil War, or hysteria  in Germany before Hitler or witch hysteria in Salem Massachusetts.  Oh well...

"Indeed, it is becoming ever more obvious that it is not famine, not earthquakes, not microbes, not cancer, but man himself who is man's greatest danger to man, for the simple reason that there is no adequate protection against psychic epidemics, which are infinitely more devastating than the worst of natural catastrophes." --Carl Jung

Published: December 18 2008 20:23 | Last updated: December 19 2008 01:58

Credit Suisse is to give its top bankers shares in a new $5bn fund of illiquid assets in a daring move intended to link pay to the long-term performance of credit markets and limit the bank’s exposure to the securities.

The Swiss bank is also considering allowing investors to buy stakes in the same portfolio of leveraged loans and mortgage securities

Oil was selling for $34 a barrel yesterday. When it sold for $150 the excuse was that "the world runs on oil" and the world was in the grips of a great economic boom. Well using their own rationalizations what then does it mean when the oil loses 80%--economic collapse?

Oh, no, no, not at all.  "Actually" that's good news for the economy because now people have more money to buy more crap.

I totally agree. We're a  modern Rome going down the drain. We even have our own barbarians outside the gates demanding tribute from us. The tribe names are: Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, A.I.G,  General Motors, United Auto Workers,  etc, etc. Instead of threatening us with catapulted boulders they threaten us with "economic collapse," and "martial law" and "Great Depression part B."  The usual sound bites. But why would they want to exert themselves with physical threats? It's not necessary when they have a bubbling pit of Barney pus passing "laws" for them.  And of course even the Visigoths never had their own  King pretending to be Rome's Secretary of the Treasury.

I helped Elena thru last winter
I leave it to someone else this winter

My name is Elena, I have 32 year and I live in Russia.  I work in a library and after my work I allowed to use computer when it possible.
I finded your address in internet and I decided to write you this letter.

I have 7-year daughter Angelina, her father abandoned us and we live with my mother.

Due to the crisis in our country my mother lost job and our situation became very difficult.
The price for heating our home is very high and we cannot afford it anymore.

The weather is very cold here already and we don't know what to do.

We need portable stove which give heat from burning wood. We have many wood in our region, but we cannot buy the stove in local market because it cost equivalent of 192 Euro and very expensive for us.
If you have any old portable wood burning stove, I pray that you can donate it to us and organize transport of its to our address. We live 200km from Moscow.
This ovens are different, usually they made from cast iron and weight about 100kg.

Please let me know if you can help and I will write you our home address.

I downloaded our picture to free website and you can see it at
http://elegala.nextmail.ru/ourpic.jpg

I wish you a Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best in the New Year 2009.

Elena.

Basically that would be what I would need to offer up help. SOMEONE knowing, without a doubt, the folks are in need and that they REALLY would get the money. Perhaps we can work on adopting a needy family before this time next year and, as a group, provide them with a little holiday comfort that so many of us take for granted? Would be a good project and also promote a little world unity without the interference of government or religion. Millions of good people still exist in this world of ours, regardless of what the media feeds us, so stepping up once in a while in a personal way would be a good thing. Most charities today tend to soak up about 90% of whatever one may give so the help is limited. I prefer a more direct route where the recipient gets it ALL and they know exactly where it came from.
   I know I got more junk than any man ought to have so if I did nothing more than sell some of it off on Ebay and earmark those funds to our chosen family in need I would do so. But, I would feel better knowing the who's, what's and why's from a more personal standpoint. Perhaps UkrainChetire can point us in the right direction on such an endeavor? I know a family in Croatia that is suffering through unemployment and still living with the fear of reprisals from their last war. They have asked for nothing out of me but friendship but I still wish I was in the position to help them through some hard times.  One thing is for certain it is a program we could always look at as we move forward here in our castle.

I am currently ingratiating myself into child welfare programmes in Ukraine, sponsoring orphan children aged 6-14 years for their education, trips to America to visit potentially adopting forever families.

This weekend I met 60 children coming in from Ukraine at NY, I had the pleasure of escorting 5 of them, aged 8 years - 14 years here to my state.  These kids are a lot of fun - even if the 14 year old girl thought my Russian grammar was hysterical and worthy of much mockery. ;D

This is why I am endeavouring to divest myself of my numismatic pursuits, I can free up lots of funds to make more of this possible and possibly change lots of lives forever.

The mother and son are legally in belgium and getting housing from the city and like 1000$ eating money a month
The son gets a free scholarship to the university of Louvain as an engineer and botched it ( too lazy and to buzy with discotheques and importing things from Honk Kong and selling them )
He got a new free scholarship for a techinical school this year and I am sure he will botch too  since disco and fun and girl are more important
The poor slob just got defrauded for 600 dollars on a ebay purchase from Hong Kong : he is used to do the defrauding so this caught him by surprise
The grandmother comes semi legally to belgium on a tourist visa and goes home for a while and comes back on a tourist visa for years now
They have the latest what do you call it videophone . He now lives with the girl in an apartment in Louvain paid by the girls mother who also provides all food .
This is a case I know intimitely

I am currently helping an american who is incurably ill and on medicare he is a software engineer and lives in a basement without working toilet and cannot pay the launderette so he washes his clothes in a bucket . His eating money is gone by the 20 th and he pays a fortune in intrest to the bankcard company for the cardbalance

Oh, and should all that fail, I also have businesses in Europe who are willing to pay me 30% just to collect payments from their customers here in the states that are so stupid they don't know how to make a payment to a foreign nation.

There was a story going around about two years ago about a book keeper who signed a company check for a million dollars and sent it off to pay the taxes on her Internet lottery. She was going to put the million dollars back in the bank when she collected her winnings.

I can't decide if she's the bigger dolt or a company that would allow a book keeper to sign checks for a million dollars.

I like an analogy that Douglas Casey used back in the 80's. That it's  like a driver going around hair pin curves where they keep gunning the gas and then slamming on the breaks. Only the driver isn't  A.J. Foyt.

In all honesty I think it's  just one more seemingly retarded statement in a long history of  *successful* misdirection. Keep the masses busy trying to decipher  contradictory statements and actions  about capitalism while it mutates into global feudalism. With the bilderturds as our over lords.

Seems like it could be quite a guessing game to discern which one is really in control of things--sort of like the currency game.  If the dollar rises in value, is it really  appreciating or are  other currency just depreciating faster? I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of not pegging currency to something fixed and stable.

I still don't see that it matters for those holding physical metals. The key word is still death.  It doesn't matter whether it's death by firing squad, death by hanging or death by bunga-bunga--(they should save that one for Hank)  When world economies unravel  there will be  social upheavals and no doubt  renditions of the Long March or Bolshevik revolution. Renamed of course to something like "The Righteous Wind"  Or "Cannibals R us."  IMO, it will  all be good for metals.

 Social disorder  has already been under way with the French riots and now the Greece riots. Maybe Hank and the Sach-bags  can kick things  off over here by shorting U.S. Treasury bonds.  :o

One thing is for certain, giving billions to the filthy rich men who got us into this mess, with their greed and corruption, is NOT going to settle a thing. It just gives them a new embezzlement opportunity which government will not be able to control any more than they can control the funds they are now taking in each week through taxes. Nothing has changed, or will change, under the current political climate of the worlds free nations. The rich take care of the rich. Tax and spend with NO accountability!

In the next few weeks inflation will really begin to hit the fan there, it is already 20-25% per month.  Salaries are not being paid again, remember a lot of salaries are contingent on companies getting bridging loans which is not happening.  Next week Russia is threatening to shut of gas... again.   Just like every new year.  It will be a matter of time before the conflict there heats up to the point at which Russia just invades the place, and you know, frankly, there will be a lot of people there that will welcome them.  With some of the stupidness in laws in UA, I can see why.  I have to be careful speaking too much Russian in some places.

While you were all sleeping, GMAC missed a deadline Friday night to report to the Treasury how they would operate as a bank holding company.  This will have serious consequences for Chrysler and GM both of which have significant stakes in GMAC, which is their financing arm.

Reports are slowly trickling out about the eventual sale of IndyMac bank, which was supposed to have been sold this summer, but didn't.  The FDIC insurance fund is a whopping $25 billion left to payout defaulting banks accounts.  Think about it, $50 Billion was the minimum they had set as a safety net for this fund.  Seventeen institutions have failed so far this year.  The FDIC is becoming dangerously short of dosh to fund more failures when they happen.

And gold is up to $888.90 in Asia tonight.

I have my rule 10 when it comes to gubment hallucinations. Multiply the bad news by ten and divide the good news by 10.

We now have the highest unemployment rate since 1982. Housing starts are at their lowest since 1959 and the Whilshire 5000 is going to have to hump like Pan in the spring time this week just to break even in 2008.
 
http://quicktake.morningstar.com/FundNet/TotalReturns.aspx?Country=USA&Symbol=WFIVX

Everyone keeps talking about gold only breaking even this year. Breaking even is wonderful compared to the Whishire  doing a header.

All of the smoke and mirrors from the two Imperial hallucinators did nothing but prolong the disaster and ensure the sach-bags still get their year end bonuses.

Gold is going up because Israel is launching on an other invade Egypt campaing but this time it is not Egypt but Gaza
Meanwhile those lovely Turks are bombing the hell out of the Kurds in Iraq which should be a declaration of war on the US which
still owns Iraq last time I looked
Pakistan and India are massing troups at the border
So wagers are on "Will Israel make a fatal mistake" or will "India and Pakistan nuke each other first " or will there be an "incident" in the US first
On the German forum they are speculating what an ounce of silver or gold will buy but they have been the offender twice and they do not understand what we do . They think there will be no operating black market in germany cause they are too lawabiding .
Maybe they should find somebody of the French resistance still alive and have a talk

I read no fundmanager lost less then 10% this year ; which makes me the best fundmanager in the world because even at melt my gold is doing better then any fundmanager who takes a comission of 2 to 3% of capital  ;losses or gains

I read somewhere next year real unemployment here would go to 40% and we may have a government by the end of the week ( in time to save the next bank I am sure ) The King being desperate and probably afraid of us Flemish segregating armtwisted somebody into being the formator
( First there is an informator who finds out what is possible then a formator who tries to realise it ) They think they can survive till 2011 on a five party coalition ; good luck to them or I should say Forget it

They are going to be disappointed. Black Markets are going to be  a growth industry in the world. That's why there is such a push on to make the world cashless. It's why the U.S with a 10 trillion dollar national debt is so "aghast" and "hysterical"  at the $27 million a year cost of replacing paper money every year. They want to weight everyone's pockets down with dollar coins so the Zombies  will "embrace the suck" and go cashless.

It's not going to work. People are losing faith in institutions and organizations at an accelerating rate. The more totalitarian the world becomes the bigger and bolder  Black Markets will become. Black Markets are real Capitalism and so the natural enemy and Slayer of today's fake capitalism.

If everything becomes  a crime there's no point in hanging for stealing a lamb. When everyone's pensions have been stolen by corporations and government there's no point staying tethered to a system of rot where your only benefit is the honor of paying the salaries of government bumcrats.

If they outlaw gold and silver something else will become the trading medium-- 9mm bullets, I suspect,  in this country. But even a piece of paper script, "Good for whatever" has value locally.

It's not looking too good.  And yet it manages to get even more scary. You know, you'd think that the Department of Homeboys Job Security would be just tad bit concerned about this. But then you'd think they'd be a tad bit concerned about every Tom Dick and Harry crawling under the wire at the borders and sneaking into the country too.

If I remember right, what my Dad told me about the early 1920's makes me believe we haven't seen nothing yet. Yes, it can get a lot worse!

I think it's guaranteed with the government here to help.  ::)

Thrust the Russians to give predictions

As if Things Weren’t Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.
In Moscow, Igor Panarin’s Forecasts Are All the Rage; America ‘Disintegrates’ in 2010
By ANDREW OSBORN

MOSCOW — For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument — that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. — very seriously. Now he’s found an eager audience: Russian state media.

From the country that brought Daghestan, Chechenya, Tatarstan etc. to the forefront of the news.  I think more people are trying to split out of Russia than the USA.

We once again will be "governed" by a five party coalition all across the spectrum whith flemish wings and french wings like the socialist party
Even like 35% of the flemish want to segragate from belgium cause we got all the harbours , factories and money and we are tired of money flowing to the walloons since 1830
Let"s say the world no longer can go on the way it did since the industrial revolution

Looks to me as though everyone is on the verge of imploding including Russia re-imploding.  Under these conditions it may not take much at all to trigger a catastrophe. Ten million people died in WWl because some Austrian aristocrat ate  a few bullets. Or it started because the Rothschild whore house wanted to make mo money financing arms production for both sides. Either one is a absurd  reason for ten million people to die but it still happened.  And Black Swan events are becoming pretty regular these days, aren't they?

When countries lose enough central control through economic decline/collapse, they'll  find out just how "civilized"  they  are.

Fed bails out GMAC this morning.  There goes a paltry 6 Billion dollars down the hole.

Longnine, I do not believe the implosion will begin in Russia.  Russia will join in of course, but they have vented their pent up passions in Chechenya and in Georgia for the time being.  Perhaps Europe will be where it will all begin once more.

Without anybody in the US caring to talk to Israel they started all out war and they will win this battle but people say one fatal mistake is enough to finish them off


Ehud Barak, Israel’s defence minister, told parliament on Monday that the country was engaged in an “all-out war against Hamas and its kind”, sounding a line that appeared markedly tougher than earlier statements by other ministers.

The low estimate of Israel's nuclear arsenal is 70 weapons. They have no intentions of going down alone. What's fatal for them is fatal for the whole Middle East.

In the Yom Kippur war the Soviets had 7 airborne and 2 amphibious divisions ready to rescue Egypt. If they had sent them I believe we would have already seen the glass parking lot.

Now is the time for Hizbollah to step in and start shooting Katyushas into N. Israel like back in 2006.  Israel will eventually be brought to her knees and resort to the bomb - and then the fun begins.

Or fire off a few Faja-5 rockets. Then Israel can rightly assume that Lebanon is just an out-post for Iran. Much like Washington D.C is just an out-post for China.

I'm pretty sure that Obama is not going to be too sympathic towards Israel and I'm pretty sure Israel has figured that out. Maybe this is the "big one."

What's wrong with this guy.  Doesn't he know when you want to steal someone else's money your suppose to get politician to do it for you. And then he lets them arrest him. He should have told them he was talented investment banker. They would have given him a 10 million dollar year end bonus instead.
