In The Meantime, Food Prices Jump The Most Since 1974
With so much going on in the geopolitical/logical arena, it is easy to forget that there is an actual underlying economy which the Fed in its endless efforts to hike the Russell 2000 is doing all it can to destroy. Earlier we pointed out, when we looked at the PPI number, that the finished consumer food inflation index surged by the highest percentage in 37 years. This fact bears repeating. So we leave it to John Lohman to summarize briefly and succinctly as he is wont to do, how Americans will soon have no choice but to indeed eat their iPad 2 as soon as Benny unleashes QE3, which is now inevitable, or sooner.
It’s understandable that this morning’s spike in finished consumer food prices received little attention. What with a mini-crash in housing starts, spent fuel pools running dry, USDJPY breaking the BOJ’s strike price of 80, and busted underwater POMO trades, there was no shortage of distractions.
Nevertheless, anytime an ecostat comes in at the 4th highest reading in its 64 year history, it’s worth taking note. As shown in the chart below, the finished consumer foods component of the Producer Price Index jumped 3.9% in February alone. But not to worry. The core PPI only rose 0.2% in the month and ‘inflation expectations [among blue chip economists] remain subdued’. Paging Mr. Dudley…

Food bitchez!
What's so great about food? You can't eat it.
Food is in a bubble.

Is Ben Bernanke the 3rd Anti-Christ?
Nostradamus says yes.
Is Ben Bernanke the Anti-Christ that brings about a period of Global Lawlessness?
In the Holy Bible, the Book of Revelation appears to say yes.
One man is bringing down the globe and our Nation.
It's so heartbreakingly sad. But, God says all these things must pass.
The Earthquake/Tsunami/Meltdowns point to wisdom of John Steinbeck.
"The best laid plans of mice and men."
And of NWO/satanic/Illuminati bitchez.
Will there be chaos, disorder and streets slick with slaughter?
Yes.
....But it will allow for the old Shiva/Vishnu balance, from the ashes we can rebuild this
world the way it should be. We live in a time where opinion trumps truth.
These days are near an end. We stand at the darkening darkness.
But I have no fear, for the next Dawn, will be the greatest awakening of Mankind.
And it's about damn time.
Fuck you into oblivion Ben Bernanke and all your hellions.
Bring on the Mercury of Hercules, the Flower of Life.
Is Ben Bernanke the 3rd Anti-Christ?
Nostradamus says yes.
And so do I........
Ben does fit the archetype, but then again so does Obama. Satins minions are numerous.
Obama falls under the 'False Prophet' category.
They all have that Imp look. Why can't people see it?
Actually Obama falls squarely under "lying piece of dog shit" category.
He is a cheap salesman . "the Slap-chop guy ". he is what they call a useful idiot...
Satins minions? Would that be silk, nylon and polyester?
Sorry, not usully a grammar cop but couldn't help myself.
"Sorry, not usully a grammar cop but couldn't help myself."
good thing you're not a spelling cop too. sigh...

Benny and Husein Obama are mere fronts for the Soros machine puppet master.
You want an anti-christ, how about a Jew turned Nazi with billions of dollars, a following of fools, a global political structure and a warm bed in the White House.
Soros more powerful than Ben Bernanke?
Glenn Beck, I'm glad you read ZeroHedge,
but I'm sad you're covered in Rupert Murdoch sperm.
It makes you look laminated.
Maybe Ariel Sharon comes out of his coma and starts barking orders again?
Ariel Sharon still comatose 4 years after stroke

John Steinbeck? seriously? the phrase "the best plans of mice and men", and the Title "Of Mice and Men", is taken from "To A Mouse" by Robbie Burns:
But Mousie, thou are no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men,
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
never expect someone focused only on their agenda to be aware of the difference between Scotland's favourite son and plagiarism

Hot Damn-some more good news to carry into the week-end. Milestones
If it happens, you heard it here first. Not to get your panties in a bunch over it as there's nothing you can do about it but it's not out of the question. Talks about animal behavior and mass fish kills. A Must Read.
"A former United States Geological Survey scientist says a major quake on the West Coast is imminent.
Jim Berkland predicts earthquakes…accurately.
Never heard of him? Perhaps you should—especially if you live on or near the West Coast of the United States, or know someone that does.
Anyone with an average 80 percent success rate predicting earthquakes should command attention, and lately Berkland has been in the limelight of the national media."
"The "ring of fire" that encircles the Pacific rim includes the region from Alaska south to South America. During the past several years earthquake and volcanic activity has been on the upswing all along the rim except on the northeastern perimeter.
Berkland believes that's about to change. He told as much to Cavuto: "The month of October, March, and April are the three most devastating earthquakes in terms of damage in the San Francisco Bay Area in history. And we are having on the 19th of this month not only the full moon, but within an hour the closest approach of the moon to the earth until the year 2016. The next day is the equinoctial tides. So you're bringing together three of the maximum tide raising forces. We know about the ocean tides. But there is also an Earth tide. And there is a tide in the ground water. All of these help to release sudden, built up strain, and cause earthquakes."
"Berkland says that the approaching seismic window is one of the largest in many years. He sees it developing between the 19th to the 26th of March 2011."
http://www.helium.com/items/2117269-magnetic-field-changes-signal-major-quake-for-west-coast
Saw his Neil Cavuto interview on YouTube. I take his estimate seriously. I'm in Northern California so this is a bummer. If it comes like he says I just hope we have more than a week or so.
Firstly, the HAARP brigade are also alleging that TPTB are planning an earthquake on the West Coast within the next few days [weeks?]. I wonder which prediction came first?
Secondly, the moon won't suddenly jump closer to the Earth on the 19th!! It will be inching closer each day then inching away again. So which distance away from us does it need to be to suddenly change from ineffective to earthquake-generating?
Thirdly, did Berkland forecast Christchurch or Sendai?
I suspect that this guy, who monitors sunspot activity and forecast both the New Zealand earthquake and Japan earthquake well in advance based on a combination of solar mass ejections and moon proximity, would be a better guide than either "CIA insiders" or Berkland. (http://www.weatheraction.com/)
Keep some perspective.

Geologist: Alarming magnetic field changes signal major quake for West Coast
***************************************************************
are you sure you are not talking about the girl on youtbe with the stars pulling on the earth for the same time table?
if this guy and that girl are saying the same thing for different reasons? everyone cant be wrong?
but for the record! I hope they are wrong and "We the People" dont get our asses kicked by mother nature, again.
On Bloomberg, it said that the Fed figures higher oil prices will tame inflation.
Its a sick world we live in...
Tell me you're joking
No, he's serious. Someone dickhead on CNBC website had an article on how high gasoline prices are actually "stimulatory" and good for the economy because it encourages development of alternative fuels and promotes more exploration, drilling and refining activity leading to more jobs.
yeah and mass starvation promotes competition
and deliberately breaking windows promotes the glazing industry
and increased crime, burglary, and home invasions promotes growth in the home security sector.
If high oil prices suck money out of the US economy and into the Middle Eastern economies that is deflationary for the US and inflationary for the ME.
Yes. Economies run on energy. Certain authors here have made it clear, by shrieking endlessly at the top of their voices about energy production-related catastrophes, that they don't like oil, and really don't like nuclear. Absent a viable proposed solution, which I've yet to see, I guess they doesn't like economic activity. Which makes me wonder: cui bono, whose side are they on?

ACS grade is technically purer than USP (pharmaceutical) grade. Dosing is trickier, so you have to know what you're doing, but it's easy: 130mg per teaspoon of water is one adult dose.
Keep your wits about you.

Michael Jackson's doctor can help you out with the doseage.
Rx - Take it all.
Actually, it should be really easy. You just measure out a large dose and dissolve it in water, and then the volume of water that you need is very easy to measure. All you need is a scale that will resolve grams accurately, and measure out, say, 100 doses, which is enough for a family of five for a two week course, with some leftover to sell on Ebay.

But I only have an iPad 1. What can I do? It must be old and moldy already because now there is the iPad 2. I don't feel like the cool kid on the block anymore.
I guess my kids will have to do eating old apple crap.
"Cost me $1.44 for ONE FRICKN GREEN BELL PEPPER AT WALMART the other day. Getting out of hand."
That is not 'finished food'. Finished food is processed food. The "food" that is full of corn sugar (the new name for high fruticose corn syrup....which is corn that you can not eat and 3/4 of America is planted in). Every FAST FOOD chain serving burgers is finished food ( it too is full of corn by-products).
A cow or steer fed the crap will die in 150 to 160 days. That is a fact! Think about that the next time you put 'corn sugar' aka high fructose corn syrup in you shopping basket and feed it to your kids. Diabetes anyone? Well 30% of Americans have it and growing and it is tracable back to corn sugar.....eat up!
Just remember, your tax dollars give massive farm supports to grow this uneatable corn, but not to real food.
Just another example of this twisted governments payback for political seats in Congress.
Grow your own.
I noted that Target is selling bananas individually now instead of by the pound. It's like .35 per. And they have 'Personal Sized Melons' for $4.99, about a D-cup. The checkout girl was a C...

If truth can be told ... core inflation looks ready for launch pad ... by June, FED will have hands tied an be forced to quite QE.
However, since lies come easier from DC and NY, unemployment with rise while core remains the same ... QED QEIII
Misery loves company. Did you check out the other countries? Everything, everywhere is FUBAR.
Same thing here in india. Crazy prices. $1.50 an apple, unbeievable here.
And IT enriched folks are spending $20 for a kilo of cherries. And ordinary folks cannot afford basic staples.

Shi'ite! $1.50 for an apple?!
Maybe that's why I let my wife do the shopping...
I can get a hugh plastic bag of apples (about 30-40) for 4.50 at a local orchard on Sundays. These are the "horse apples" or culls - small marks, some times a bruise. Biggest problem is that we can't eat them all before the go bad - I sometimes eat 2-3 day. Wash them in diluted hydrogen peroxide when I get them home to preserve them longer.
Dude, learn how to make an apple pie. Those little horse apples have higher acid content and are perfect for that. Just use some flower with eggs, milk, sugar, and some salt. Roll it out on a big flat pan and then put those apples on it. You'll be surprised how delicious this simple recipe is. And you will eat it all in two days ;-)
Let's compile a ZH recipe book!
How about freshly radiated sushi?
No offence meant, but you can miss out the H2O2 if you just polish the apples and store them in a dark cupboard.
We also juice our bruised ones off the trees.
The new dawn is unfortunately low-tech, low transport, and low energy -if we get that far.
Wrap them in newspaper so they don't touch each other. You know what they say about one bad apple. They last weeks.
Aternatively, peel them, put them in a saucepan with a lid and a tablespoon of water. Cook /steam til soft. Let cool, freeze in pie-size quantities until required.
Used to haul Yakima Apples out of Washington to east. .15 to .25 a pound prior to 9-11 (At the Packer's wholesale shop on the dock)
Now 1.30 or more a pound in Walmart today. Keep in mind that they slashed many orchards and had a water issue for a while.
I like apples, schnapps and all of that but a bit of month old Cider takes it all.
The only thing I am waiting on is the COLA increase for next January.
That's only for government workers. Taxpayers get to pay it.

Humanity must work together to reach an understanding of the world before it is too late. All mathematics, science, literature, religion, and philosophy in all languages is consistent and of the same eternal source; it simply asks us to work together in our understanding.
The cost of not doing so will be apocalyptic, and the matter is further complicated by the greater deceiver.
Let it be known, truth cannot exist where deception is employed.

In other words we are doomed.
After as much as the JCB threw into the fire (and none of it goes to rebuilding), I think we need to skip the QE3 name as Japan just did it. It's now QE4. (what the japanese did essentially went +1 to whatever number we were 'unofficially' at). It's more important imo to judge all the printing around the world as one set of QE within the monetary system. About 4-500 billion printed by any idiot central banker, give or take a couple of hundred billion sounds about right to be classified as a level of QE.
The gap between what the real physical economy is, and what the fake numbers 'must say' in a mark to myth environment, just got wider.
The amount of actual economic output is at a newer lower level (for a long time) period. YOU KNOW they are going to fiat those holes in the wall over.
They weren't holding together the old gap. I just don't see how the fraudulent debt and derivatives can withstand such a newer, wider gap. Printing the shortfall now is going hurt big time. (but they have no choice since they want to keep the fraud going)
We have Glass-Steagall. Plenty of problems will still exist, until we fix them. But we won't have a system forcing destruction upon us. That gives us a shot. Rid of the banksters fraud, we'll meet that challenge.
The monetary effects are going to go exponential from here on out (and this affect applies to all previously printed dollars). We were already past that 'exponential' point, but now it will come much sooner than the Banana Ben's of the world anticipated, while at the same time, collapse will be increasingly evident all around us.
The drop in supply due to Japan's lower economic production/activity is only going to intensify the already, recent, and coming effects of whats been printed via the hyperinflationary collapse. Especially with 1.5 billion hungry people (soon to be 1.7?) with less food, and obviously in an unexpected (to producers) manner.
Gold is a living God, and all the World's a stage.

Humanity must work together to understand this creation, or his existence will cease to be written.
If Bernanke stopped printing money today do you think any other CB's would?
What do you think is happening in Europe and Ireland? Do you seriously think China and Japan aren't printing money either?
Looks to me like he's just one of many...
June 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/06/business/worldbusiness/06euro.html
There is a difference between inflation which is driven by increased demand (fueled by purchasing power, rising wages and capacity utilization etc) and a temporary price increase fueled by speculation. Whatever they've printed is just for their own cartel members and as you can see they've made full use of it, while the aggregate demand (sustained by the purchasing power, not wealth effect and other illusory paper gains) is collapsing. In the meantime fraud has reached epidemic proportions in all forms of government with a few corporations controlling everything, from wars to what you're doing on your icrap. It is just a question of time until this delusional macroeconomic experiment will crumble under the pressure of ever increasing negative marginal effect. It may take a while, but eventually we'll see spx, oil, gold etc at their 1980-1990 levels and a lot of bankrupt governments and companies.
those at the fed need to be trued in geneva at the world for crimes against humanity, genocide, etc.
pass this on to drugman, who besides bernanke and dundley remain the only people on the planet who think there isn't inmflation. it tells you how useless economists are. the fed makes and alters numbers to suit what ever they want to say.
the reasons they do things are for public consumption, nothing more.
figure out how a policy makes the banks money and you know the real reason they do anything.
And soon we'll be eating Gold and US Treasuries!
And soon we'll be eating Gold and US Treasuries!

Investors eh? Like little moths distracted by the next 'bright light' to the exclusion of all previous bright lights.
It's interesting to see how the 'oil crisis' was forgotten when the Japanese refineries were damaged, but then Bharain reminded them about that crisis and they all returned.
This must be the end game now - even printing money seems to have stopped working! The BOJ pumps trillions into the market and the Yen continues to rise!
Bernanke - please note, this is the fate that befalls all reckless money printers - a total loss of control.
Central Banking success in recent times has been all about keeping the relative value of one's own currency down. While acting all academic and sober and saying all the right things - of course.
Wonder if the model is changing? Witness the BOJ is not too fussed about the shlong Yen? Nor is the ECB too fussed about the Euro rocketing up. Soon China will show its hand.
Wonder if the US "global leadership" is seriously damaged. The Saudis send in their military into Bahrain without checking with Hillbilly first? Hmmm.
US relatively passive and impotent in doing anything constructive about the great cataclysm in Japan? Hmmmm.
Sooooo- why does the world need to regard the US Dollar as "special"..Hmmm?
Japan is sooo screwed that the US Dollar is really tanking!! hahahahahaha.

We must work together to defeat the great deceiver. Everyone must stay calm, as this imprisons him.
1974. That's about right. If we're lucky.
Little side observation:
I raise a few cows on my place, and have been paying 5 bucks/50lb bag for feed ( to supplement grazing/hay ) for several years. Yesterday, the price was 6.50/bag, and was told the next load they get in will be 8/bag. That's over a 50% increase in very short order.
You can look for prices along the "food chain" to increase shortly.
I bought chicken feed the other day for some new chicks , the price had only gone up a dollar a bag, but then I noticed the bag had gone from 50lb to 40lb , so I thought what would your great leader BEN do , I killed all the chickens and now there is no inflation.
Whole corn was $6.50 a year ago, now $9.50. Scratch grains were $10-11.00, now $14.50. Same with chicken crumbles, over $14. I now sell eggs for $3 a dz., were $2. Organic, range fed eggs are $4.50 in the stores...I'm now growing oats and corn just to make my own feed...
Meanwhile - the U$D spirals the porcelain.
Sh... Shhh... Shlong Doolar in da bestest intrust of der Amurrican peeeple.. ... yeah - there FU too.
Inflation is a problem worldwide, but Food inflation would have a greater impact on the developing markets. For example United States only spends on average 10% of income on food, while a developing country like China spends almost 40%. I'd be watching this space closely going forward.
http://theintrinsicvalue.com/research/food-inflation-how-much-percentage...
Agreed.
However, with the top 400 Americans net worth equal to the bottom 150,000,000 Americans...the very idea of the american average CPI spend is absurd and misleading.
A solution I thought we might have seen right after the Lunar New Year last month. I have already posted on this. I referred to those I call the EastBloc countries, the BRIC, BRICets, all of Asia, perhaps via the ASEAN 3+10 Group, S.America, all those in Africa and mid-East who are already EastBloc tied, making any "Fence-Sitters" needing to make a decision if they want to join in the Move. The "Move" would be a simultaneous, same day, same time, same Percentage, ReValuation of their Currency vs the USD. For one example it "could" be China ReValuing the Yuan to a (lets use) 3 to $1.00 Exchange Rate, and ALL the countries participating making the exact same ReValuation, connecting and tieing to the Yuan.
This results in absolutely No-Change in Trading, Imports, Exports, between themselves. But it does make Food and Energy Costs a fraction of what they are today. It also helps the countries by Lowering the Cost of ALL Commodities, Commodities that countries, like China and India are already the largest Buyers of. All The People in these countries happy and the countries too.
The US/West has been asking China to ReValue for years, and keep in mind that China has been Urging their citizens to Buy Silver, having already strongly recommeded investing in Gold. Sure would make it easier to buy more gold and silver @3 to 1, instead of the 6.58 to 1 we have now. Sales, Exports, to the US/West are not only shrinking as the Emerging Markets are increasing, the US/West's buying is going on a Credit Card that is already having a hard time just paying the Interest on...so, no big loss there.
The US could move first by Moving the Decimal Point Two notches, making $1.00 Current USD equal to $100.00. This would result in making foreign debt payable at 1% of its current valuation, with one line-item, at least, which would take care of the Mortgage Mess. Just keep ALL Mortgages Fixed at the Current Balance, yet Payable with the "New" USD. I think the EastBloc Move is the most likely.
Yo - yeah -Yo - Endaka Fukyo erm in da bestest intrusht of da japanese poiple?
Whats the difference between a Central Banl governor and a Skinner pigeon ( look it up) ?"?
The Skinner pigeon is smarter.
OK OK - here s the definition of Skinner pigeon:
One of B.F.Skinner's experiments back in the early days of the discovery of learning theory involved pigeons in boxes. The boxes had a food pellet delivery chute that dropped a pellet to the pigeon on a completely random feeding schedule. They used a random numbers table so that no one--including the experimenter--knew when the food pellet was going to come rolling down the food chute.
Skinner's pigeons did a very interesting thing. Whatever behavior they were doing just before the food came rolling down, they did more of. When it came down the next time, whatever they were doing before that, they did some more of.
Within a short length of time the pigeons are walking around . . . bobbing their heads, shaking their tails . . . and checking that food chute.
Want to train a pigeon? Pigeons don't see well in the dark. Catch one at night, put him in a brown paper bag, spin the bag around and around for 5 minutes or so. Take the poor little bugger out and place him on a perch in your pigeon coup. Voila, when it wakes up in the morning it will automatically think the perch is its home and will return to it for the rest of its life.
Kinda like Americans being spun by professional politicians, educational system and manipulated media. Americans are taught to be dupes of the system. Time the population does some spinning. Start with elections at all levels being completely paid for by the electorate. That way you get politicians working for YOU not you working for THEM.
Politicains are all small time crooks working within a system that protects them from you. Take back control of your country by removing the noose around your necks. Your need to rob them of their means of control. A run on the banks will do just that. Use leverage against them. Every dollar you withdraw from their system will screw them out of at least 30. Bankers can't pay off your poltician if the ain't got no money.
Grow a pair of balls, a get some measure of self respect.
Just sayin.
Pigeons are also good - lightly braised with a sprinking of curry powder -- unlike CB Governors.
AHH YES! Squab breast with a drizzle of truffle oil, and a dry white. We will be fighting over bridge pigeons before this is done.
grobar rebarancing - the hard way. Yen supah shlong - OK. So the Japanese poiple can buy anytink they want - OK. Americans need "jobs" - Right? unh huh. OK no watch dis.
Americans get jobs rebuilding japan - howzatt? Unh Hun.
Benny the Bean can't get food inflation under control nor can he get deflation of property, and now stock market, prices under any control
He's a quasi-quango Govt crone and like all of them has zero competence ...this is an historical and current fact of every Govt... what's not to understand?
I would plant a garden in my yard, but I'm afraid that MERS will come and take it from me. Then foreclose.
We gotta get the Bernank on a Wheaties box! Too bad we can't afford to drive to the store to buy one, though.
I'd rather see him on the side of a milk carton -- missing.
When does the other 80% of the sheeple wake up and realize what is happening. Most people have there I-pad so far up there ass that somehow they rationalize the price increase in all things except there homes. I don't have cable T.V. or an I-pad and the matrix is clear as day. I try to explain it to others but they just look at me like friggin idiots. That is why it will be so bad most people just don'thave a friggin clue.

Your diet sounds a little unbalanced...Try adding vienna sausage and coat liberally with Smuckers Strawberry Jam...and twinkies for desert.
BTW, twinkies have a shelf life longer than the half life of plutonium so you will never need throw them out.
Still time to plant a garden, although it will take some facetime away from the computer.
First, him evading the question is like him telling the aduience "hey look! it's a blue car!".
1.) Obvious he is not dumb but very corrupt. He knows people are in pain because of his actions throughout his career, yet, he is extremely buffetted from anything. He doesnt write a check, pay a bill or anything.
2.) Now, we no longer have 1 king like the old days but rather 12 kings. Same shit, different century. 12 Kings instead of just 1.
3.) Receipie for disaster is when you have these 12 kings or so and that they are so far removed from reality is as obvious as a Greek Play. They really have no clue.
4.) To be honest, it is becoming aparent that they know wtf is going on. They know nothing is working. Yet, they do not have to worry because...wait for it..."THEY GOT THEIRS...SO WHAT?"
The beauty of it is it's all just imagine. Money is paper/cotton. You can try to take it with you as we decapitate Ben and his ilk, but I dont think they will take it in Hell.
99.9% vs. .01% are great odds for the majority. But, history shows us a majority DOESNT MEAN SHIT. Look at Russia 1917. 1 out of 100 were Bolsheviks YET THEY WON.
"let them eat cake"...that was spoken by a cunt who too was so far removed from reality. When it hit her, it was too late.
Same shit...different time.

Well...yes, food prices are spiking as feearful speculators rush headlong into commodities (much like the 70's) to preserve the value of their wealth with tangibles. The problem is when they do this you may not get a spike in core inflation but you do get a rush of captial into these small markets (which were never designed to receive this kind of capital) spiking price levels in each market, such as wheat, soya beans, sugar, etc. Obviously the trickle down effect is to hammer the consumer. A sustained increase that remains at these levels over time is what effects the core numbers. However that's the big "IF" isn't it? Oil in 2007 is a prime example of what happens when prices get too high...as was the entire CRB index. The probelm is Bennie and the Jets are giving too much crappy capital to the banks. This is what they do. I mean what is the mystery here? They take cheap money and turn it into profits or so the idea goes until they get hammered with over leverage once again and lose all this free money PLUS. Zero hedge has already commented on the spike in leverage again, not just in the big banks but in the entire population as they try to relive the 70's again. Except this is not the 70's. You don't have that tool available any more that Volcker had. You can't spike interest rates. No what will happen here is about as ugly as what happened in 2007. Prices will crash and people will be wiped out again. Market conditions resemble the 1930's not the 1970's. This fact will be made very clear in the next two years or so. It is like saying that Japan is a great investment right now? Perhaps in value buying but that assumes that the markets won't fall or the economy is DONE contracting??? I doubt that. With debt to GDP at 200% and rising it still needs to flush the market distortions from its balance books of the 1980's. One could have said many times that Japan was a real steal and many times you would have taken a bath.
