    My take on views expressed by Jim Rogers at a BBN interview on Mar. 18 about the recent currency and trade confrontation between the US and China, the Canadian loonie and the U.S. bond market.

    Phinance's phavorite political prisoner, Martin Armstrong, cautions that "the EU is in dire position", on the precipice of shattering. Since "debts will never be paid and interest expenditures are the greatest transfer of wealth in history ... Western society is falling apart ... If we do not act, civil unrest will explode. The current choice is DEFAULT or HIGHER TAXES & CIVIL UNREST ... Someone has to step forward to save us or we may be doomed. It's time to wake up for this is the future of our children and their children at stake. "

Humorous, Yet Spiritual, Afternoon Interlude: The Lloyd's Prayer

Tyler Durden's picture




From Tom Gregory at HuffPo:

THE LLOYD's Prayer

Our Chairman,
Who Art At Goldman,
Blankfein Be Thy Name.
The Rally's Come. God's Work Be Done
On Earth As There's No Fear Of Correction.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Gains,
And Bankrupt Our Competitors
As You Taught Lehman and Bear Their Lessons.
And Bring Us Not Under Indictment.
For Thine Is The Treasury,
The House And The Senate
Forever and Ever.

Goldman.

 

The Lloyd's B(r)ible thumpers coming to a neo-Marxist conversion center near you.

the heck of it all is that scrotum would have us believe that their success comes from hard work, due diligence and brain power, rather than working hand in glove with the fed and treasury.

The FED is my shepherd; I shall not want.

It maketh me to lie down in green shootsdom: it leadeth me beside the still Lehman.

It restoreth my credit: it leadeth me down the paths of leverage for its name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of debt, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy TARP and thy TALF they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my balance sheet with digits; my bonuses runneth over.

Surely profits and influence shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the FED for ever.

Bankingfiend: I am a false prophet and Fed is a superstition.

Daniel Plainview: Say it like you mean it!

Bankingfiend: I AM A FALSE PROPHET AND FED IS A SUPERSTITION.

Our Profits and our Art along the Foyer

Hollow be thy name

Our Bailouts come

from citizens undone, who now work at 7-11

Gives us this day our daily threads

and forgive us our profits, as we forgive those who profit less than us 

Lead us not into retirement

but deliver us to the treasury

for profits are the kingdom, our power, and our story for ever and ever.

"Then I was given a chart and I was told, 'Come and measure the temple of Goldman and the altar of the Fed, and count those who are worshiping in it. But exclude the real economy; do not measure it, for it has been handed over to the proles, who will trample the forsaken cities for forty-two months.  I will commission my four witnesses (1) to prophesy for those twelve hundred and sixty days, wearing golden sacks.'

Funny how you never really kick the guy in the nuts...

Afraid to get fired?

I'm sure your team of dirt diggers could unearth something worthwhile, no? Maybe from someone disgruntled who didn't get a larger slice of the bonus pool.

Come on Team Tyler make this website as great as you claim it to be.

Just stand in front of 85 broad and look for a long face walking out the door. It'll be obvious as everyone else is beaming.

Irony in history marches on: My son was watching some educational show on animals when this got my attention. Pigs went wild across the eastern seaboard late 1600's and multiplied by thousands. They somehow were all over Manhattan Island to the extent that a wall had to be built to keep these wild pigs out of one colony area. Later a street was installed there and the a sign was put up.......Wall Street.

Keeps em in now I guess.

Real estate property covenants and restrictions used to do the same. But we've become so modern and tolerant and see stereotypes as the nonsense that they are, that we even lay down with the unclean animals.

Lately, it has been all about breaking down the fences and barrier.

Unfortunately it never brings elevation to society.

But usurpation and downfall.

Glass-steagall repeal was a good'un.

God the nihilist. Power for him and rules and laws for everyone else.

He maketh his false laws and realities and triest to confromist me with them.

The prisons his servants build may they dwell in them forever and ever.
