It Begins: CFR Proposes that “Central Banks Should Hand Consumers Cash Directly”

... A broad-based tax cut, for example, accommodated by a program of open-market purchases to alleviate any tendency for interest rates to increase, would almost certainly be an effective stimulant to consumption and hence to prices. Even if households decided not to increase consumption but instead re-balanced their portfolios by using their extra cash to acquire real and financial assets, the[...]

“The Russian Aggression Prevention Act”: A Direct Path to Nuclear War with Russia

By Steven Starr The Russian Aggression Prevention Act”, introduced to Congress by U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), will set the US on a path towards direct military conflict with Russia in Ukraine.

“S&P 2000″ Is a Fed Manufactured Mirage – Phony Stock Prices No Substitute for Real Economy

By David Stockman That 4% market correction in July was quick and virtually painless. Not missing a beat after the market briefly tested 1900 then, the dip buyers came roaring back — gunning for the 2000 marker on the S&P 500, confident that longs were not selling and that shorts had long ago been obliterated. Needless to say, bubblevision had its banners ready to crawl triumphantly across [...]

Yellen Speech on Labor Market to be Jackson Hole Highlight – More Useless “Guidance” for the Masses

In the not-too-distant-past, Fed watchers had to divine U.S. central bank strategy from a trickle of information. No longer. And on Friday, there will be a firehose of Fed speakers for the markets to digest. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen will give her latest views on the health of the labor market at 10 a.m. Eastern on Friday. In previous speeches, Yellen has laid out a dashboard of[...]

One World, One Bank, One Currency – The Path with One Result

by Addison Wiggin “The government is very good at making things overly complicated for the purpose of obscuring what’s really going on from the public,” observed hedge fund manager Erik Townsend during our interview in May. He was making a point about the 2008 bailouts. The Federal Reserve played a leading role, applying trillions in paper-clip and rubber-band solutions. The Fed’s[...]

Yellen Dashboard Warning Light Glows as Millions Work Part Time – This is Depression

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen has a stubborn warning light blinking on her labor market dashboard: A group of Americans larger than Washington state’s population can find only part-time work. As Yellen heads to this week’s Fed symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where the focus will be on the labor market, those 7.5 million part-time workers who want full-time jobs are inflating the[...]

Another Crisis of Confidence in the Dollar is Coming – Monetary System Will Never Be the Same

By James Rickards On August 15, 1971, a quiet Sunday evening, President Richard Nixon took to the airwaves, preempting the most popular television show in America, to announce his New Economic Policy. The government was imposing national price controls and a steep surtax on foreign imports and banning the conversion of dollars into gold. The country was in the midst of a crisis, the result of an [...]

Big Bang – Sovereign Debt Crisis in Full Swing & Government Bubbles

 by Martin Armstrong The Sovereign Debt Crisis is unfolding on schedule. I have warned at the Philadelphia Conference that half of Germany’s municipalities are on the edge of bankruptcy as was the case with Detroit. Instead of reform, no, government just increases the tax burden upon the people who they see having an endless supply of money to be expropriated for their personal glory. Just[...]

At 90 years old and still going strong, the Godfather of newsletter writers, Richard Russell, warned about “the great destroyer,” war, and silver. The 60-year market veteran also discussed major markets, gold, hyperinflation, and what is “dirt cheap” that he believes investors should be buying right now. Russell: “From the 1830s to the 1930s, almost all the important currencies were on [...]
