Financial Predictions
(Please consult Archives below to review all prior years.)
#1: The Joker is Wild
2012 will go much like a
poker game--gloat and euphoria during a winning hand, gloom and despair
upon losing. Another way to put it is we will be riding a roller
coaster. If all goes according to plan, as is customary, the first week
of January should be a loser; however, from that first week, there will
be a money-printing inflation-rally--taking us to all time highs on all
major indices. But when September arrives, watch out! This will be the onslaught of a major crash far more lethal than that of 2008.
#2: Keynes Will Triumph...for a while
Thus far, money-printing
by the Fed has worked, as the US has exported inflation around the
world while continuing to bail out US banks. Deflationary forces in
Real Estate and derviatives will soon be offset by an inflationary
money supply--engineered and abetted by the Fed to all world central
banks and markets. World stock markets, fed by these trillions of
printed dollars, will take off. But towards the second half of 2012,
prices for all commodities will take off. Inflation will reach double
digits. Naturally, politicians and bankers will foist the blame on the
usual suspects: precious metals and commodity speculators. Watch out!
Gold will soon be on the drawing board for confiscation!
#3: World War III More Imminent
Because the economy will
be going haywire and social rioting will become more pervasive, our
beloved military and politicians will deflect their incompetency by
blaming terrorist nations for causing chaos. China, by not only
defending Iran but by dint of being America's largest creditor, will
enter the fray. One sure way of reneging debt is by declaring war. 2012
will give us a glimpse into this future.
#4: Globalization Will Reign
Despite protective
tariffs and jawboning, layoffs in the US will continue unabatedly.
There can be no true job recovery (except for the brief period of
money-printing) simply because emerging nations have the technology to
do any job for far lower wages. The equation is rudimentary:
either US workers take pay cuts tantamount to foreign workers--or go unemployed.
US Corporations won't care. They will continue to expand overseas and
profit at the people's expense of a far lower standard of living.
#5: The Demise of the Fed
It is starting to creep
into the American psyche that the Fed represents the interests of the
world's central bankers and has little interest in the welfare of
Americans. The Fed has continually fooled the mainstream by feigning
their money-printing QE's are to rectify unemployment and foreclosures.
Don't be fooled by this smokescreen. The money-printing is winding up
in the banks coffers to pay off their derivatives--not to lend it back
out to the people. Once it becomes clear towards the end of 2012 that
the Fed is the culprit for this mess, legislation to harness the
Fed will be enacted. It will be too late. The Greatest Depression will
be upon us.
#6: The Desecration of the Constitution
To control the people,
authorities will unleash more and more laws to fight terrorism (which
they will blame for their own failings). If that entails, military
tribunals in place of civilian courts governed by the Constitution, so
be it. It will soon become apparent that whether a Republican or
Democrat holds office, anyone holding a differing view of the
government will be deemed (Animal Farm exeplified) a
terrorist-sympathizer and held without trial. The problem of escaping
this abuse will be the far-reaching arms of the government will be able
to invade and extricate any citizen anywhere in the world.
#7: Hyperinflation or Depression, There is a Solution
Despite the possibility
of confiscation of gold and silver coinage, one must figure out how to
amass and retain these coins, for they will be your only protection
from losing everything. I plan on keeping my US passport and travelling
as a US citizen with coins as my backstop. With Interstate travel
pervasive nowadays, there are no real hiding places in the country
anymore. People will be desperate and look for anybody to rob. 2012
will afford the first glimpses into America's "future."
Review of 2011 Predictions:
#1: 2011= The Year Of
Illusion
88% correct. The
timeframe expanded until late 2012. US citizens still harbor hope
that Washington will save them. That pipe dream is
dissapating.
One final illusionary mania before the
final crash. For part of 2011, everybody but everybody will be
vindicated and will become geniuses of our time: the Fed, the
Treasury Secretary, the President, even our beloved Congress, for
the trillions of dol lars printed will have inundated the
system—buoying the stock market, tentatively reducing unemployment,
trickling down to most consumers. Remember, the Zimbabwe markets
rose thousands of points during their monetary crash. Of course, our
financial manipulators are a bit more sophisticated than theirs and
can back their reserve currency shenanigans with military
muscle.
America’s worship of goods and
possessions will be renewed one last time. Of course, prices will go
higher, affecting those on fixed income (or no income at all!);
however, the boyz that count: the CEO’s, the bankers, the politicos
and government employees will convince those beneath them that all
is well and that ‘Prosperity is just around the
corner/coroner.”
#2: Kiss Your Freedoms
Goodbye
88% correct again. The
onslaught of the government determining what is in our best
interests has arrived. They must protect us from ourselves. The only
reason this is not 99% correct is there are still politicians like
the Pauls who revere the Constitution.
For your personal protection,
you’ll be protected by the government. Mussolini bragged about his fascist business state in
which his government made all final decisions. You will maintain
freedom—so long as you agree with everything the government tells
you. For the good of the country, you will be heavily taxed if you
try to move your money to another part of the world. If you inherit
an estate, most of it will belong to the government, not to you. If
you board an airplane, you will be strip-searched until you can
prove your innocence. Do not think about writing anything
anti-government. You will be watched by Big Brother. Orwell would be
proud. We are developing not socialism, not communism, but a perfect
return of fascism.
#3: The Collusion of the Fed and
Treasury
99% correct.
Because the
Treasury could no longer service the debt without Congressional
approval, they turned to the Fed , who needs no approval, to do their dirty work
for them. They are now one and the same.
Like most nimble politicians, “Tex”
Bernanke/Beneke, as the American Indians are wont to say, “speak
with forked tongue.” First and foremost, his mission is to save his
banking brethren. If any monies trickle down to the people, so be
it. Most American citizens do not trust this man, but do they count?
Not a smidgeon! Only the clods in the White House and Congress are
glad to be hoodwinked by their lobbyist friends, the
bankers.
#4: The Year’s Big Joke: The
Dollar
99% accurate. The ugly-contest
of currencies continues.
ome prescient writers call the value of
the dollar vs. other currencies, “The Ugly Contest.” Yes, how can
you place a value on the dollar when it is competing in the Z league
of currencies, over 70% of which is measured against other bankrupt
currencies: the Euro, the Yen and Pound? Despite massive money
printing, Tex can get away with this Ponzi scheme until the cows
come home—at which time hyper-inflation will start moving into
specific, uncontrollable areas. Towards the end of 2011, we may well
witness price controls and trade sanctions. Many countries would
lose a fortune in Treasuries were the dollar to crash and will, to
some extent, protect the “Reserve Currency.” Eventually, not till at
least 2012, will it become obvious the Treasury will never pay its
debts and default. Then, we will witness a dollar crash.
#5: The “Gold Bubble”
88% accurate. The government
continues to manipulate the paper-markets--to the extent that they
refuse to honor deliveries of physical metals.
As per custom whenever economies unravel, speculators will
be blamed by our governments and its henchmen for what has gone
awry. In the 70’s when inflation hit double-digits and beyond, it
was not the fault of government war policies or Great Society
spending sprees which caused a market crash and commodity boom but
the speculators in these markets. Today, we are a bit more
sophisticated and prepare for the end game by preparing the gullible
public for the greedy speculators causing this morass. In the 2008
crash, Bushman blamed the short-sellers and unscrupulous real-estate
speculators for the market crash—even though the economy had been
going awry for many months and he had been in denial we were in a
recession (Greenspan seconded that motion.) This time around, to
ward off gold replacing fiat currencies, the Heads-of-State (for
whatever good their ‘heads’ do) will attack gold and commodities and
try to rig the markets through naked short-selling and
propagandizing gold as in a bubble.
#6: The Fourth Branch of Government=The Fed
99% accurate. The Fed is even
more powerful than the other branches of government, in that it can
operate without checks and balances.
I take that back: the Fed is the first
branch of government. Unlike the other three branches of government
harnessed, presumably, by checks and balances, the Fed is able to go
it alone without restraints.
And why should Congress change that?
Their banker-friend-lobbyists insure their reelection…and, aside
from that, Congress (with the exception of Ron Paul) is clueless on
how to conduct monetary policy.
So here we are two centuries plus
later, at the horror of our Founding Fathers, turning over America’s
monetary policies to the people who caused the American Revolution
in the first place, the bankers. Nobody dare opposed these creatures
back at Jekyll Island in 1913 and since then, they have weaseled
their way into more and more power. The government’s so-called
“regulations” have only ceded to them more power.
#7: Revolution?
99% correct. Occupy Wall St. is
a clear indication of the future.
Unfortunately, the closest we will come to revolution
will be wimpy establishment thinking such as the Tea Party. Oh,
quite possibly an idea or two might be on the mark by protestors
but, for the most part, anti-government sentiments will be operating
from government thinking: statistical lies, manipulation of markets
and failing to prepare for a lowering of the standard of living
through globalization. The artists and intellectuals (if there are
any left) have sold out to commercialization and the “education”
system long ago, so they won’t be a factor. Worldwide wars may
subside only because the military may be needed back home to insure
law and order.
I think a 2012 real crash will at last
produce revolution—when the majority of the populace will lose
almost everything they have. Even at that, the “New Revolution” will
have no philosophical foundation and will crumble, just as all
baseless revolutions do.
