#1: 2011= The Year Of Illusion

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

Like rules and regulations? For your personal protection, you’ll get them. 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

Make no mistake about it: the basic reason the Fed went on its maiden voyages on Queen Elizabeths I, II and Infinity was primarily to save the bond markets, notably treasuries. Once bonds inevitably resurge to much higher levels of interest, their Ponzi scheme is over.

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

Some 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”

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

Actually, 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?

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.

Results of 2010 Predictions:

#1: America Not As We Know It

77% accurate. Our freedoms are being taken over by our central planners. Main Street is beginning to see the light, but is reluctant to admit that under the present system of government, there is little to no hope. It has become obvious, however, that “our” government is in a panic mode preserved only by bribing, lying and stealing. Welcome to the New Banana Republic!

#2: The Grand Manipulation Scheme

99% accurate. Our markets are now under a grand manipulation scheme. Regulations are being imposed not to protect us by sanctioning the true perpetrators, but to silence us so that we are unable to protest our “common good.” It is not the greed of capitalism which caused this morass but the government controls of “Too Big To Fail,” QE 1-? and quack accounting rules which have killed free enterprise. Like all great socialist, fascist and communistic political systems which ultimately fail, our will also.

#3: Gold and Silver on Roller Coasters

88% accurate—only because we ain’t seen nothing yet. Towards the end of 2011, we should be nearing the final crash when hyper-inflation becomes uncontrollable, so uncontrollable that even the hedonic CPI will have to admit to a smattering of it. Expect the Fed to use their henchmen to subvert gold and silver when it becomes obvious that the dollar will crash.

#4: Continuation of Crime

77% accurate. Cities like Detroit and St. Louis don’t even bother to report “petty” crimes, as vandalism, robbing and arson are so pervasive they would lose their jobs (and more tax base). The prisons are so overcrowded that “good behavior” murderers, rapists and pedophiles are released on a daily basis. Courts are so overcrowded that former crimes are now being dismissed (with a good lawyer). What will happen to the finagled crime stats once twice as many in the populace are unemployed?

#5: Bank Holidays

0% correct. World central banker have conned people into believing that bailing out failing banks will prevent another Great Depression. Therefore, instead of the nearly thousand US bankrupt banks which should have failed, the public has taken over this private debt. There will be no bank holidays, for our precious knight in armor, the Fed, will commit its citizens to rescuing any failing banks. Of course, all bankrupt nations including the PIIGS and other third-worlders love this concept.

How many times in business have I heard that song, “I’ll pay it back as soon as I can!”

#6: World Turmoil

77% correct. Because world planners from the debt-ridden Western World have tried to convince the credit-ridden Eastern World holding their fiat bonds that they absolutely intend to pay everybody back with interest, there have been few major counterattacks by the BRIC countries. They are playing the game until such time as their opponents are so beaten up that they cannot continue. China is growing brasher by the day. Once their Yuan becomes the world’s reserve currency, they will lay down the law and control world currencies. This is their objective which does NOT include cooperation with their Western deadbeats. With over two trillion in credits, they would like to ease out of their one trillion dollar US bonds with as little loss as possible. War at this point in time would hardly be pragmatic. Paring down the US debt load in half would quite possibly lead to their global monetary takeover.
