This bitchez nonsense should stop. Ignorant
Said the indignant moron with three posts and a few weeks under his/her belt. Come back and complain again when you have some Zero Hedge street creed and something to say. Otherwise, it's back of the bus time.
Interestingly, my <ignorant> post - which admittedly was absolutely useless and very childish (but I enjoyed it) - was censored. Unless it got the required amount of junks in record time...
Perhaps TD was offended by my offer to procure for him the gravy boat and ladle off his nuptials registry? But, everyone needs the gravy boat and ladle...
Just to make this post somewhat useful, I very much enjoyed the pictures in the presentation. Seriously, fantastic graphics that simply reflect the reality of what happened. But, the Fed takes care of its own...
Like the "black cat" deja vu that indicates "they" have changed something in the Matrix, occasionally a post will simply disappear for reasons as yet unknown and is an indicator within Zero Hedge.
Something just changed.
Speaking of the Matrix, how long can the Matrix remain the Matrix when more and more people are rejecting the illusion of the Matrix. Things or subjects that just 1 or 2 years ago wouldn't dare be uttered in public are now openly discussed not only as happening but as accepted fact. If our current reality is simply the construct of a critical level of conscious cohesion, then what decreased level is the point where it all breaks down.
Your disappearing post, along with others, might be the early tell. Perception is reality. When perception changes, a changed reality is not that far behind.
I was in a meeting at a non-profit listening to them discuss how to eliminate poverty, with a side discussion on educational reform. As I've argued before, the system cannot be fixed without first changing the money system (since private-cartel owned interest-bearing fractional reserve banking has at least two central fundamental flaws). Poor education and poverty are a DESIGN of the current money system. Of course, I could not have made such a statement out loud.
I do think people are waking. But it is too slowly, as I believe we are on a crash-course for an event that will either centralize power, or provide the opportunity for revolt/de-centralization. [Amusingly, Larry Kudlow was lambasting the revolting French for 'not being at work' - even though they were exercising more balls then we have.]
As you have referenced before (I hope I am not putting words in your mouth), I think the people will need to be presented an alternative before they leave the present system, otherwise they will cling to it for all they can. Better to have the devil they know...
And as I mentioned in our other discussion, the capture of the individual has been so institutionalized now with the maritime laws, etc., etc. that any real solution will have to represent such a significant break.
Seems to be perilous times...
Why do wild animals with well developed brains that are most like humans go mad in captivity?
Why do humans with well developed brains think they are not mad when they live in captivity?
What is "captivity" with regard to humans?
Hence the King Corn food to dumb the population down, the TeeVee, etc., etc.
Why should we have to pay property taxes on land we own? Or do we not really own it?
You "own" at the pleasure and whim of the Captain and King.
The good news is that a few are beginning to grasp some of what we are discussing. The bad news is that for the vast majority, what we are discussing is so absolutely foreign and frightening that they'll cling to those who abuse as the only reality they want to know. The conditioned mind is a terribly difficult thing to free.
Thank you very much, may I have another?
I have been watching "The Colony" new series on Satellite and am learning much.
This might help too, play a game of monopoly, but the person who is the banker gets to take out currency when ever he wants for what ever he wants to purchase.
Over 50% of US population is on some form of government support.
When people get hungry, they get off their butts and take some action.
TPTB know that they must continue, at minimum, to feed the US citizens....They know that hungry people take action.
As far as I know no one in the US has starved to death yet, but I don't read all the news so I might have missed some starvation stories.
The French Gov and the French Citizens, otoh, have not forgotten what happened on Bastille Day. It is etched in their collective memories.... probably as vividly as the Nazi occupation.
Working on your research paper info regarding UCC.
Just like you, cannot spend countless hours on the internet. Look for my second post in a minute. Thanks for your input on this site. I dearly miss the contributions of londonbanker, send the message. The hibernation cycle is over.
There was a really good post on maritime laws, courts, etc. that referenced the UCC yesterday. It was linked to some section that looked like the contributor forum. Informative. I'll see if I can find it/reference it later. It was a longer post in one of the fraudclosure articles yesterday evening...
I think you are referring to this:
http://www.zerohedge.com/forum/asymmetrical-warfare-mill-wars-based-ucc-...
Yes, thank you. Much appreciated, also because I wanted to re-read and see the new comments too. Really interesting reading...
Thx...
I'm glad he finally got around to writing this!
I'm going to absorb it all.
Owning a real estate management company in the 1980s, we would have tenants behind in rent and the associated late charges, etc. We would work with the tenant and show our best intentions if they sincerely wanted to get caught up. We offered them a promissory note for the amount in arrears and they paid from that date onwards as if they were not delinquent. The execution of the note (unsecured) was in exchange for the amount due. The note was payable separate and apart from the normal rents due. Should the person(s) ever move from the premises the note was still good and collectable.
There is the essence of what signing a note is about: It is an exchange for something.
Ah, keep going down the rabbit hole my furry friend.
Been reading about my STRAWMAN, UCC filings, my Treasury Exemption account, Bills of Exchange drawn on my Treasury Exemption account, etc., etc. FASCINATING.
Hint: see the 'signature line' on your checks, it's actually printed words...

Trippy stuff (but perhaps you knew about this stuff)...
Don't you remember? At that point the matrix is destroyed and the "Architect" starts on Matrix 3.0
We are the architect in this Matrix.
And in the movie they were working on number 6. Or was that 7?
We are the architect in this Matrix.
Ya think?We are the architect in this Matrix.
Ya think?what's the required number of junks? Never knew that could make a post disappear...must have been the content.
Junks did not make traderjoe's post at the top of the thread disappear because he did not receive any. His post was there one moment and gone the next. This happens occasionally on Zero Hedge. No rhyme or reason. It just happens.
The numbers of junks that will make a post disappear has changed over time. It was originally just 5, then it moved to 10, then 25 and now it seems it takes 50 to disappear a post. The "junk" system is useless as it stands, but it is what it is.
Zero Hedge street cred
LOL
Never trust spell check. Never!
The Zero Hedge creed says ya gotta have cred.
Edit: It seems that not only do we have a shadow government, but I have a shadow junker. Poor fellow, nothing better to do then follow CD around and lay down the junk. :>)
This is one weird thread. Starting with a novice bitcher about bitchez followed by a stream of junks. Perhaps one of these folks should drop in and provide some guidance--random punishment has no merit. Or honor, for that matter.
Take it as a good sign, CD, that you have really pissed off somebody who would like you to stop spreading truth. :-)
I have come to the realisation that if I'm not being junked here, then I'm being ignored!
Then feel the luv, dog!
Thanks, Bob. I feel better now. :-)
:>)
Here's my double love on the rocks. Hope you enjoy the hangover. :>)
I junked you because this post looked lonely without it... ;)
The junks aren't junk anymore. Sort of parallel to the bond rating agencies. Who'dathunk?
what happens next month when it doesn't work? cause Bennie Boy ain't plannin' on sharin' any of this with the peasants....its just a huge, huger than huger injection into....wait for it, the primary dealers and the banks.....and those boys don't play for no trickle down....
so......after he makes sure that all his banking posse gets their xmas boni, what then?
It will then be referred to as "MOAD" or Mother of All Duds.
"This bitchez nonsense should stop."
What a bitch.
These guys actually run money for a living? With reports like these?
What I was thinking. How screwed up must he be to come out in public and state that star Trek is not real!
Shit for brains, (your apology is not accepted).... it was on TeeVee.
HeliBen as Captain Kirk...Nooooo, nooooooo
No,no, no! This plot stinks.
Heli Ben at best can play the role of Pavel Andreievich Chekov.
He is nothing more than an ordinary navigator who takes orders from the Sith-Lords Blankfein and Paulson. He's more like a fcuked up C-3PO droid serving banksters instead of humans.
errrr, I'm kinda struggling to stay on topic, the mind strays.....
LMAO
My God Man, don't mix your Sci-Fi!
LOL
As a young child and continuing as an adult, I always mixed my food up on my supper plate. When my dinner companion complains I always state as fact that it's all headed down the very same track. Doesn't the same apply to our glorious Sci-Fi?
A sterile mind is a terrible thing to waste. :>)
If Mary Schapiro is Uhura and Sheila Bair is Yeoman Rand...

Mine is better looking. Unless, of course, you like to fish in different ponds.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. :>)

I can clearly see it's a later version of Chewbacca. He seems to have lost a good deal of hair and has aged a lot. I did not realise that underneath all that fur there were some saggy tits dangling.
WTF were you thinking Banzai? You just ruined my appetite of watching the reruns.
Hooray, hooray for CogDis though, just about what I needed after that Chewbacca ordeal. Keep it coming CD!

You mean a money drop on Banksters. Nothing for you 99%. Outta my way!
"Is it theory or thesis"? That is the question. Official "predictability" is I think unwise when dealing (with? for?) Wall Street. Are they "asking for more"? Or just "telling it like it is"? Either way "they always have a very good use for your money," yes, yes?
How much punishment can the dollar take? I think of it like the poor Enterprise when it entered a planetary atmosphere and was shedding pieces as it tore through a forest. (Was that Khan's work?)
How long before the trillions in foreign holdings wash up into the US sparking price inflation and scaring the public out of their own small piles of cash?
Here it cones?
I'm confused. Did Kirk really say that?
Was Kahn expecting a Klondike bar but Kirk instead gave him a cone?
As far as the rest of it goes, I'm sure that a company that proclaims to be overweight bonds and underweight commodities really has it all together. The author even says "we continue to like gold". Hey, that's a relief.
Its great to hear Timmy say "we're not going to devalue the dollar" one day, only to have HeliBen whisper the next day "Actually, we are going to severely devalue it, but don't worry, we have co-ordinated this action with most of the developed world, so everything will be honky dory".
But hey, TARP was such a big hit, like the news is telling us, why not do it all again, and BIGGER!
Any way, I have become involved with a new project, and other than producing content on the currency wars and foreclosuregate it is also my duty to pimp it to all corners of the internet, so please take a look at PsychoNews http://bit.ly/aPAuzS
We are trying to stand on the shoulders of the giants (here at ZeroHedge specifically) and develop a sort of 'Wall of Shame' if you will. Member suggestions or contributions are greatly appreciated!
devalue? BB's going "all in on the default lest California beat him to it." Poor Tim's left with nothing more than the Secret Service to "guard the President." And himself of course.
Wait, so they expect Zimbabwe Ben to blast us into infinity but are light commodities and heavy stocks?!?!? If they did even the most cursory research of hyper inflation or big inflation events they would know that they have that backwards.
"Zimbabwe Ben"
OHH yesss... not HeleBen, not Bennie and the Inkjets..
Zimbabwe Ben... or ZimmerBen for speed on his metal frame after all the pensioners catch up with him for wreaking their retirement so they think a few kneecaps
Enter the new turbo-charged model(s) from "The Scooter Store!" :>D
Deflation, buddy. Not inflation.
Yes, commodity inflation...but that is small potatos...for serfs like you. Deflation in the area where the oligarchs store their money...property...buildings....real estate.
That is what Ben is bailing out again. Never mind what they did to the property market. Ben thinks it needs another bucket full of your dollars to keep those boys in the life they are used to.
So bend over, serf. Pay up for your corn and gas...and LIKE IT! Esle ole Ben come 'round and take your job away from you, too...if you still have one.
No rule of law....bitchez! Ah...that feels so good.
So the BB's evil plan goes something like this?:
Step 1) displace buzz's money from bond via buying them for top dollar.
Step 2) buzz goes on a cocaine induced shopping spree buying both hookers and stocks with utter abandon??
Hey Ben, that may work with the addict underlings at Goldman Sachs but not with me.
Stop sending the money to banks. Mail checks directly to mom and pop - that ought to take care of it. There will be QE II, but it will be low key. QE III will be the one to look out for because by then they will be sending checks to people not banks.

The name is not Kahn. It is Khan Noonien Singh and for some bizzare reason he was from Northern hilly regions of India who specialized in eugenics.

"
Quite frankly, watching a day like this in which billions of Dollars are stuffed right back into the markets after the same billions were yanked out yesterday fills me with a great sense of dread and foreboding. If the Fed manages to pull the rug out from under the Dollar with its insane policies, the speed at which it can fall and the corresponding affects on the markets will be not only stunningly dramatic, but will be devastating for the chaos that it will unleash. The cost of the basics of life will rise at breakneck speed as this huge sum of hot money jams prices northward, with little to no relief in sight. Pandora’s box will look like a care package compared to what the next round of QE will unleash. And to think all of this is a pathetic attempt to bail out the abominable bastards at the big banks who gave birth to this carnage."

Continuing the Star Trek analogy, maybe Ben is Evil Santa Claus from a parallel universe, trapped here on Earth in some crazy time warp accident.
Instead of reindeer and a sleigh, Evil Santa's got a noisy helicopter burning fossil fuel. Instead of toys for all the good girls and boys, Ben has cold hard cash for everybody, to spend even on loose women and cheap booze. Beard not flowing but smartly cropped. Not fat and jolly but svelte and slightly effeminate.
Dammit it just might work! Get Roddenberry on the phone. The line's dead? Try Harlan Ellison.

Bob Janjuah called for $3t to $5t in QE2 months ago (was it Feb? April?) as I recall. I miss his commentary... Tyler.. can you find out what he's saying now?
Thx
Great graphics, very clear writing, and common sense.
When you step back and lay out the reality it is stark.
You must stop listening to those little voices that whisper "tranches", "sectors", "legislation", "rate hike", "FX", "liquidity", and all the other Snipes you may hunt in the markets.
The French are rioting in the streets. I have a strong conviction that Americans are rioting with their wallets, and the flames from that kind of riot can be hidden for a long time.
Rioting with their wallets. Nice!
Agreed ebworthen,
The quiet riot is in motion. Average Joe does not have many other choices, anyway. The job market lay in waste. His prospects in the market thin. He has all the crap he needs already. And he is hungering for something real anway, a principle that won't be sold in five minutes, faith.
The quiet fiscal riot goes on...until the pantry is empty...and then it gets noisy.
And everything market between here and there is a joke. Example...banks being used to rally the S&P for another day...as they teeter on the brink of their insolvency...even as they are sharpening their knives to go in on one another.
I've seen a lot of things...but financial stocks across the last two days...take the cake.\
Tough times...and getting worse.
Them dollars will cool the wallet off for a while.
Hey BEN! Drop em right heah into the bank account, you already have all the info you need to direct deposit LOL.
Then I make good use of that big fat binary balance to convert into real goods fast to support the near future.
I'm just going to riot by attacking my circulatory system.
With vodka...
Already there...and it is quieting me nicely.
27 million unemployed or 22% and 30% retired on fixed income with ZIRP or Zilch as in income from investments and no COLA raise for a second year in a row. Yay, lets QE II and create the Mother of all inflation and drive basic needs of life through the roof. Talk about kickin the dog while its down.
What kind of hallucination inducing Shit do you have to smoke to get so stoned as to think creating inflation will create 1 job, make the above referenced broke ass people start spending,or make it easier to export more goods to the rest of the world(ausuming we still make things)with higher material prices.
The Feds ineptitude is beyond astonishing. Ben, "You are truly without heart and beyond words'.
Long, Cattle,Hogs,Corn,Wheat,Cotton,Sugar,Rare earths, Gold,Silver,Oil,Coal,Raw Land,in about that order. Also, hemlines on NY Fashion runways will be strikingly Amish this season.
Short, Cash, Bonds, Houses, CRE, Banks, Durable Goods, Cyclical goods,Autos,Shipping,Hookers, and Cocaine(Local D.C. market excluded).
Little people, you better get ready to really "Suck it up"now. Its coming now, and it will not be without untold suffering.
Strange how the IceCap report, at its conclusion, states that a short term correction in stocks and a reversal in the dollar is coming, but most ZH bears still think Black Hawk Ben is coming with another drop. Bullish sentiment is at an extreme.
Don't be too sure about the next heli-drop. Ben did say that action and the "threat of action" would both be used in this melee...or something like that.
"threat of action" = Jawboneing
Ben, and his predecessors, sometimes have limited and short lived success using jawboneing. Words are carefully weighed and measured.
Your results may vary....or, put another way, Greenspan knew when to get out of Dodge.
Minion, I agree with you. Helicopter Ben is not going to start his drop until after the markets have crashed and our new CONgress is in place. We will need to wait for the Black Hawk armada.
Print Back to story Hedge Funds Short Plaza Accord Deal With China: William Pesek By William Pesek - Oct 20, 2010 Bloomberg Opinion
Of all the things Timothy Geithner expected when becoming U.S. Treasury secretary, examining a periodic table probably wasn’t one of them.
Obsessing over the chemical elements is exactly what Geithner and his staff will be doing in the months ahead. The New York Times reports China is quietly halting shipments of crucial minerals to the U.S. and Europe, after doing the same to Japan, and it’s a big deal for politicians and investors alike.
The news trumped China’s surprise decision to raise interest rates this week. It’s a sign that economic cooperation is becoming a quaint concept as China’s clout increases. It’s also the latest reminder that anyone betting on a Plaza Accord- like currency deal next month is dreaming.
China’s policies on the yuan and rare earths are more connected than meets the eye, and both contain the same message for the developed world: Stop whining and get on with Plan B.
Hedge-fund managers are shorting the Group of 20’s chances of getting China to boost the yuan. At a conference hosted by Bloomberg Link in Hong Kong this week, I didn’t meet a single hedge-fund manager who expects big news out of the G-20 meeting in Seoul next month. Nor did I meet any who thought China would reconsider its evolving policy of rationing out the raw materials vital to everything from hybrid cars to laptops to wind turbines to weapons to iPhones.
Global Obsession
China’s currency is an obsession of the economics community. From Washington to Tokyo, the talk is about prodding China to revalue as the 1985 Plaza Accord did with the yen. It is seen as a crucial step in reducing the biggest imbalances plaguing the world economy -- an argument China isn’t buying. As a developing economy with a mostly poor workforce, China sees an undervalued currency as a necessary evil.
Similarly, China appears to view its control of about 97 percent of production of rare-earth materials as an advantage that is too good to pass up. On the one hand, it needs lots of those minerals to feed its growth. On the other, it is finding this monopoly to be very useful geopolitically.
The world has a choice here. It can complain and stomp its feet in a futile attempt to get China to reverse course. Or it can accept the reality of our new world order and adapt. The U.S., for example, is free to retaliate with tariffs on Chinese imports. Yet protectionism is no wiser an option today than it was in the 1930s when the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act deepened the Great Depression.
Fresh Jobs
Americans should accelerate efforts to create fresh jobs and educate a workforce that is becoming out of step with the direction of the world economy. And besides, Geithner could always beat China at its own game and aggressively devalue the dollar if he wanted to.
The rare-earths issue is more complicated. Japanese officials say such supplies have been restricted following a dispute between the two countries over a Chinese fishing-boat collision with Japanese Coast Guard vessels last month. China sees fit to provoke international laws so long as its 10 percent growth isn’t threatened. While it’s not right, it is what it is.
The rare-earths story shows how the battle against global warming is turning into a real blood-and-guts fight for dollars and jobs. A new report commissioned by Australia’s Climate Institute shows China is a surprise leader in the pursuit of clean energy. China is second only to the U.K. in offering incentives to cut pollution created from electricity generation.
Industrial Evolution
As the world’s top polluter, China should be redoubling efforts. Yet China will be installing thousands of wind turbines, all of which will need rare earths. China isn’t just working to improve its air quality -- it’s investing in the next generation of jobs.
Industrial evolution always leads to structural shifts in commodity consumption. We had the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age and the ages of aluminum and copper, too. Technology’s current obsession with miniaturization will accelerate the need for alternatives to rare earths, creating more business opportunities. Investment choices for hedge funds, too.
It’s fascinating that a developing country has a chance to steal a march on the next industrial phase by controlling the raw materials needed. It’s not clear this has even happened before, and it’s a reminder of how upside-down the global economy is these days.
China’s money is already financing U.S. imbalances and offering hedge funds once-in-a-lifetime riches. That will continue no matter how much griping accompanies the power shift. The world should just accept the inevitable and adjust to the next wave of industrialization.
I wrote my congressman and two senators a few weeks back asking them when they are going to hold the Federal Reserve accountable on their mandates - stability in the financial system, price stability, full employment, economic growth, and interest rate stability. Two weeks later I have heard from two - one asking if I want to be added to his mailing list and the other sent me a form letter pertaining to some unrelated banking issue. Needless to say a sad showing on the part of our representatives but then again the banks have Pennsylvania Avenue on the bankroll.
"Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!" bitchez.
Ben gonna unleash his hatredcopter?

Icecap botched the Star Trek 2 reference. Kirk and Khan were playing hide and seek in the nebula. In the end, Khan's ship was totally disabled, and Kirk's only had impulse drive. Rather than be boarded and brought into custody, Khan initiated the Genesis Device as a suicide bomber, as Kirk's impulse drive was not enough to get him out of the way, but Spock sacrificed himself by entering the high radiation area and repairing the warp drive, so Khan only killed himself.
So what is the lesson for us?
Expatriation.
Get out of the USA. Don't go anywhere with similar policies. Bernanke will blow up the USA, and maybe take some of Europe with it. If you are gone first you will be OK.
I'll go down with the ship. Fuck the expats, pussies.
You must be on board Kahn's ship prodding the man to greater and greater heights of anger and towering ego.
At least all that you were made of will be converted into the very things that make up the future LOL.
The expats will suffer when they all reach the promised land, having spent all they owned, all they money and food to reach such a place far away. Only to be stranded in some dirt poor village somewhere to make do.
Sure let the ship go down, but give me a bit of time to drink that case of schnapps and smokes I got stored away.
"From the depths of Hell, I stab at thee!" (Khan, quoting W. Shakespeare)
My absolute favorite line in all of moviedom! I kid you not! Thank you!
But all this time, I had no idea that Shakespeare said it first!
I googled this a few minutes ago:
The end of the curse also recalls Captain Ahab's words in chapter 135 of Herman Melville's Moby Dick: "To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.'
That's one of my favorite lines too. I always assumed it was Milton's Paradise Lost since that was referenced earlier in the movie.
I'm really surprised that no one made the most obvious Khan reference to the no-win scenario. Isn't Ben caught in such a scenario? He raises rates, he loses. He does QE, he loses. Kobayashi Maru.
I hope we never ever have to hear the words "Planetary Alert" Combined with money problems. That refers to another Movie.
The old TV show "Enterprise Incident" remains one of my favorites.
Then go down fighting or are you just resigned to it. Patriotism wrapped up in hubris isn't going to achieve squat.
Gold and silver prices are gonna be fricken hot! HOT! HOT! HOT! Bring it!
Bernanke is confident that he is right and has convinced himself that his only mistake was QE I was too small.
QE II will be a fusion bomb, as opposed to a fission bomb, and will be at least 3X larger, maybe more.
Bailing with a bigger bucket. Brilliant.
So, where/when is the $7-9 trillion coming, and why is the USD going up?
"I don't go too fast... but I go pretty far!" -- Ben Bernanke as Melanie
The Mothafucka of All Bluffs.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic.
