Not surprising in the least. "Conservatives" are a threat. The catalyst has been activated and anyone who opposes TPTB is a threat and will be investigated or prosecuted appropriately. Luckily for all of us, we're all flaming liberals, right?

"Reverse decouplingTM"
TM. Classic!
CPI numbers LOL! The Department of Truth strikes again!
US #1 Export: Inflation
1/14
Front Nothing
1. Seriously, what's the point? When the terminators can just undue 34% of a currency move...overnight[as they just have]...how is a person supposed to frontrun anything? The move in the Euro especially has messed up two days worth of front running. We find out later it is because Goldman said so. However, Goldman is wrong about the currency when talking about the fundamentals of the Euro. They needed to do that to try to push their long crude oil to infinity trade...so....? ! ....but since I don't get $8 billion free dollars to use each day, again, what's the point?
2. The market will break more records.
3. More traders will abandoned the market because it is clearly a joke.
4. Outflows of Average Joe capital from the equity market will continue.
5. Criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers will continue to simply say things are great...even as cities and states start to declare bankruptcy...in their giant attempt to ponzi up confidence in their profession.
6. The US Federal government will continue to dodge its responsibility to clean up the banking system...which will continue to cause #3.
7. Robo and Harry will marry. The ceremony will be at the headquarters of the world's largest zombie making company.
8. Tyler will march inexorably towards insanity [as well as cdad] as the leadership of the country are seemingly able to ignore any real evidence presented to them about the state of the nation, and abandoned any responsibility for anything, and will, in fact, help criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers haul the national treasury out to waiting cars in front of Ben Bernanke's office.
9. The Blow Horn [CNBC] will continue to report on all things except the economy even though they are charged with reporting the state of financial things during the greatest financial crime in the history of the world...happening right in front of their faces [which will ultimately cost at least 30% of them their jobs when Comcast finally closes this disastrous deal].
10. Criminal syndicate Wall Street bankers will continue to party on at the bar of the Roach Motel [SPY] where the drinks are on tax payer Joe, and the mirror ball will spin and spin UNTIL Mary Shaprio quits relentless meeting with L. Blankfein and J. Dimon and the like about what rules she should just forget about...and instead she digs into the MASSIVE FRAUD going on in the ETF industry where those guys are able to sell infinity shares at any price they like simply by throwing the switch on the creation units machines....
I'm not sure if the market is a joke, a travesty, a ponzi, or all of the above. However, I do know that equities price anywhere they like on any given day based on absolutely nothing that humans can understand...so I would not buy them if I were you. Good luck....
And hey Mary Shapiro....DO YOUR F*CKING JOB!
nice 1

Biflation continues undeterred
As Muni market tanks, Hospitals scramble to fund operations. Costs to rise.
After inflation goes up, then interest rates will go up, just look to the T-Bill yields lately.
And everybody knows how much leveraged our economy is and how hard just a little increase of interest rates can do.
Little Ben knows that the clock is ticking and time will catch up.
The next thing is Kaboooom!
UK joining biflation hit parade: (in a big way)

Double dip fears rise.

The Chinese shoes are growing tighter and tighter.
The good thing is that the very fact that people should operate for our exclusive benefits is expressed more and more clearly.
The Chinese might have an interest in bailing out Europe? Smashing news. These guys are supposed to act only in ways that support the West, not themselves.
"When they buy euros, the euro becomes stronger and their currency a little bit weaker. That is not neutral in regard to their competitive position. But I go no further in this topic. It could be too delicate," he said.
