China Sovereign Wealth Fund Openly Admits Asset Bubble Addressed By Creation Of More Bubbles
One wonders at what point the US authorities will have the guts to at least admit what China is now openly saying is one big pyramid scheme. And as for the Fed's prudent approach to fighting bubbles - well, that is now completely discredited, as the only goal for the US Federal Reserve is to make sure that Wall Street's "VIP club" manages to cash out before all the stupid money and other retail investors, presumably before all hell breaks loose, and the latest bubble pops once more. Good luck to all.

gold-standard dollar “provided us with nothing less than relative peace and prosperity over a span of 136 years
""Floy Lilley at the Mises Institute, in her essay at LewRockwell.com, notes that the gold-standard dollar “provided us with nothing less than relative peace and prosperity over a span of 136 years” until that fateful year, 1913.
So how does she quantify “relative peace and security”? Well, one good way is to look at the value of the dollar, which would be strong if the country was a good investment, which it was, and in fact, “It had not only retained one hundred percent of its value, it had gained eleven percent. That’s right. The dollar we started with in 1776 bought us eleven percent more after almost seven generations.”
Then, on the “quiet 23rd of December in 1913”, J.P. Morgan and buddies got Congressional quislings to pass legislation authorizing the creation of the Federal Reserve, and to which I add that the jerk Woodrow Wilson then signed it, thus going down in history as the disastrous guy who set in motion the destruction of the dollar by the Federal Reserve creating excess money and credit.
She doesn’t make a point of it, but back then, the dollar was still gold, and thanks to the loathsome Federal Reserve creating the money to finance the bubbles of The Roaring Twenties that resulted in the Great Depression, the despicable Supreme Court infamously ruled in 1933 (and upheld by every traitorous Supreme Court case since then) that, contrary to what the Constitution said, the dollar did not have to be made of silver or gold, and that a paper “fiat” currency could be created, without limit, for any reason, even at a mere whim, anytime, day or night, 24/7, including holidays, not realizing that they were the idiots that REALLY destroyed the dollar! Gaahhh!
With this kind of disastrous stupidity, I dryly and humorlessly ask that you don’t talk to me about any “wisdom” emanating from the Supreme Court. I was hoping that Ms. Lilley would spontaneously pick up on the theme of “heap scorn on the Federal Reserve for creating too much money and credit out of thin air and the despicable Supreme Court for letting them.”"

You need to invest $50 million to get any presence" in the social-networking space right now
". Traffic-Driven Web Sites. Everybody has witnessed the success of social-networking sites like Facebook and popular blogs that generate all their revenue off advertising. But as the Internet ages, that's much harder to accomplish, says Martin Zwilling, a start-up consultant in Fountain Hills, Ariz., who specializes in helping entrepreneurs find angel investors.
Zwilling says he hears pitches for new social-networking sites about once a week, but actively deters people from starting them. "I say, skip it," he says. "You need to invest $50 million to get any presence" in the social-networking space right now and it's very difficult to get people to leave established sites. What's more, he says, the amount of traffic needed to build a lucrative traffic-driven Web site is far more than most new Web entrepreneurs realize: "Until you get to the point where you have a million page views a day, you're nowhere."" http://smallbusinessanswers.yahoo.com/overrated

risk concentrated on taxpayer while reward concentrated in the hands of ‘private’ consortia
"UK & US styled capitalism. Definition: ‘Private sector’ gets all the taxpayer funded rewards, ‘public sector’ gets the risks. absolutely zero of the risks of building these projects got transferred to the private sector as Gordon Brown had claimed. And, in fact, the risk has been concentrated on the taxpayer while the reward has been concentrated in the hands of the ‘private’ consortia running the PFI deals.

J.P. Morgan Chase,holds more than $1 of every $10 on deposit in this country
J.P. Morgan Chase, an amalgam of some of Wall Street’s most storied institutions, now holds more than $1 of every $10 on deposit in this country. So does Bank of America, scarred by its acquisition of Merrill Lynch and partly government-owned as a result of the crisis, as does Wells Fargo, the biggest West Coast bank. Those three banks, plus government-rescued and -owned Citigroup, now issue one of every two mortgages and about two of every three credit cards, federal data show. http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2009/08/goldman-sachs-the-firm-everyone-loves-to-hate/

Barney Frank Calls for Audit of Fed, Limits on Powers
http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2009/08/barney-frank-calls-for-audit-of-fed-limits-on-emergency-powers/
"Rep. Barney Frank, the chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, said he plans legislation to restrict the Federal Reserve’s emergency lending powers and subject the central bank to a “complete audit.”
At a recent town hall meeting, Frank said the House would pass a bill to use an audit to crack open the central bank’s books more widely, but in a way that will not encroach on the central bank’s monetary policy independence.
In addition, he said the House would move to rein in the authority that allows the Fed to lend to a wide range of non-bank firms in “unusual and exigent circumstances.”….
Frank said the audit and emergency lending provisions would be incorporated in broader legislation to revamp U.S. financial regulation that would likely pass the House in October. By seeking a compromise with [Ron] Paul, Frank could strengthen the broader legislation’s chance at passage…
Frank said the House legislation would pave the way for an audit to look into what the central bank “buys and sells,” but he said the data would be released after a period of several months to avoid impacting financial markets." Barney Frank Calls for Audit of Fed, Limits on Powers

"The results have been more than promising.
“If I treat every day for 14 days an animal’s tumor, a small tumor, this tumor doesn’t develop — it even regresses. The tumor mass shrinks. If I treat for 42 days, you totally eliminate the tumor,” the scientist said."
this makes sense from two standpoints, one synergy between hosts and ticks, there must have been something in nature that stops cancer in animals, in past all animals got ticks
owners of 80 percent of a country's market capital
Inside Science
http://www.insidescience.org/research/study_says_world_s_stocks_controlled_by_select_few
"A recent analysis of the 2007 financial markets of 48 countries has revealed that the world's finances are in the hands of just a few mutual funds, banks, and corporations. This is the first clear picture of the global concentration of financial power, and point out the worldwide financial system's vulnerability as it stood on the brink of the current economic crisis.
in Zurich did a physics-based analysis of the world economy as it looked in early 2007. Stefano Battiston and James Glattfelder extracted the information from the tangled yarn that links 24,877 stocks and 106,141 shareholding entities in 48 countries, revealing what they called the "backbone" of each country's financial market. These backbones represented the owners of 80 percent of a country's market capital, yet consisted of remarkably few shareholders.
"You start off with these huge national networks that are really big, quite dense," Glattfelder said. “From that you're able to ... unveil the important structure in this original big network. You then realize most of the network isn't at all important."

A month later, Mr. Potter was back home in Tennessee, visiting his parents, and dropped in on a three-day charity program at a county fairgrounds to provide medical care for patients who could not afford doctors. Long lines of people were waiting in the rain, and patients were being examined and treated in public in stalls intended for livestock.

US macroeconomic stability since the mid-1980s
Oil and the Great Moderation
Anton Nakov and Andrea PescatoriABSTRACT
We assess the extent to which the greater US macroeconomic stability since the mid-1980s can be accounted for by changes in oil shocks and the oil elasticity of gross output. We estimate a DSGE model and perform counterfactual simulations. We nest two popular explanations for the Great Moderation: smaller (non-oil\link real shocks and better monetary policy. We find that oil played an important role in the stabilisation. Around half of the reduced volatility of inflation is explained by better monetary policy alone, and 57% of the reduced volatility of GDP growth is attributed to smaller TFP shocks. Oil related effects explain around a third.

Sending false signals to the real economy, creating false volume on the exchanges, creating false price levels
Banks leveraged up day by day week by week year by year for ten or twenty years. Sending false signals to the real economy, creating false volume on the exchanges, creating false price levels and price points on goods of every class and level. Bush removed the last bulwark against banks leveraging up massively. When the banks went from ten to one to 70 or 97 to one against reserves a shadow banking system, a fake currency was created so to speak, a virtual money, we were all paid in real money, and that pay did not rise very fast, but the prices of all the fake economy, housing prices, luxury items etc, for example a Prada belt costing 950 that costs ten dollars to make and ship and market. Now we reap what the banks sewed.

About 80% of the derivative assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheets of 100 companies reviewed by Fitch were held by five banks: JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley. Those five banks also account for more than 96% of the companies’ exposure to credit derivatives.
535 corrupt politicians, 10 “too big to fail” banks, a secretive Central Bank, 17,000 corporate lobbyists
United States has gone from taking personal responsibility for our own lives to dependence on government to make all decisions in our lives. There are 306 million Americans and we have defaulted on our responsibility for governing this nation to 535 corrupt politicians, 10 “too big to fail” banks, a secretive Central Bank, 17,000 corporate lobbyists, and thousands of government bureaucrats. Essentially 306 million citizens are managed by a few thousand elitist rulers. George Orwell’s classic novel Animal Farm was inspired by the a scene he witnessed:
“I saw a little boy, perhaps ten years old, driving a huge carthorse along a narrow path, whipping it whenever it tried to turn. It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat.”
