President Obama To Explain The Bear Thesis To Equity Bulls - Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

He started the ball rolling on the "Do Panic" rhetoric yesterday, and it didn't work. Jack Lew stepped up this morning with some more fearmongery and we suspect during the President's address at 1040ET this morning he will point out the Armageddon that will occur should the debt ceiling be breached - and ask why aren't equity investors selling? It seems he needs to appoint that non-bubble-blowing Fed head asap...

It really is breathtaking how he lies effortlessly and is actively pursuing the destruction of America along with his able self anointed royalty on both sides of the aisle.

 

The concept of orwellian doublespeak was always whimsically idiotic to me until the scales fell from my eyes a number of years ago, and now it's goddamn scary because acolytes watch this garbage and take it in like it's gospel.

They destroyed the world.

The entire Los Angeles area, already hospital facilities have begun to crack under the strain and civil defense authorities think the situation is much the same across the entire country.

Martial law is now nationwide.

Major cities in all parts of the country, New York, Los Angeles, report plague victims falling dead in the streets, in their homes, at their work.  The first symptom appears to be severe choking, followed by immediate unconsciousness. 

Death occurs within minutes…..

This is what Jamie (silver smasher)Dimon and Loyd (god's work) Blankfien tutored and ordered Obama to talk about today, they did after all visit the white house yesterday and had a luncheon.   It's the Market silly, not this political rhetoric,  tell the people the market will crash and so we can motivate these assholes in congress to raise the debt ceiling, pass cr and obama zombie care etc.

Same playbook to get the Bailout to pass, the sky is falling, martial law, blah blah.

The only things I know that are produced there are burgers, pizzas, shifty auto-repair shops, bars, a mall or two, and permanent road construction.

here we go.

EDIT: So the feel good story is about a construction company that got started with a pickup truck and wheelbarrow. The kids started helping at age 14, then went to college and started their own businesses. Recently they bought the construction business from their parents. it is now a $60 Million dollar operation with 250 employees. This story just goes to show you if you work hard at something you can pass down a better future for you children.

What we need, especially during this shutdown, is for somebody to tell this story, but not from the perspective of a the typical small business owner, doctor, engineer, etc. I want this story told from a good statist family, that passes the family businees down to the next generation.

You see, my grandfather was local D.A. eventually get got on the city council. He was able to send my mom to college to become a corporate attorney, with an LLM in tax. She has been a lobbyist in G.E. for 30 years now. Me?, well, I naturaly went to college, I studied communications. I see a bright future for myself, perhaps on MSNBC. I am not sure how they are funded, since i never see any adverts, but myh mom probably knows ...

This is the better future availible to all statists families.

Watched some interviews with Nixon the other day. He appears to be quite sane and rational. He was certainly connected and an insider, but also intelligent.

When you see Richard Nixon and admire the man, and can barely watch this spectacle up on stage, also scary.

Who does he want to sell? Retirement accounts? Where can they put the money? The banks have it all locked up? Individual investors? ... for the most part don't exist, except for the 1% and they a in tight with the banks. The banks now own or control by far the vast majority of equities and they also control price through their specialist and market making trading coputers.

THERE IS NO FREE MARKET.

So, the wealthy tied to banks are supposed to panic and sell to the banks who are keeping prices artificially high? Probably not. IN the end if the dollar is detroyed the qeuities will have value, but the dollar will not. Who would sell equities in trade for toilet paper fiat under those circumstances?

What about that YOU WORTHLESS BOWEL MOVEMENT OF A PRESIDENT!?!?!?

Isn't this the same droll speech I heard on Monday?  Damn near verbatim.  I wonder if we will get those long awkward pauses if the teleprompter fails again like it did towards the end of his mangled diatribe Monday?

 

Edit:  I meant Tuesday.  All his shit sounds the same to me anyway.

Obamacare is a bureaucratic and wealth transfer disaster. It’s corrupt. It’s a loser, not just for Republicans, but for the nation.

Obama is telling us there is nothing we can do about, or he’ll keep the federal government shut down. Well, the American people can survive just fine, thank you, without Obamacare. Let’s see how well Obama and his Leviathan government can survive without Taxcare... with a taxpayer shutdown.

It's like a mugger telling you to give him all of your money or else he'll shoot himself in the head.

I often wonder if his likeness on Mt. Rushmore will be the same color as the other 4 presidents or if they'll, uh, stain it.

WH page is playing ... Springsteen after Potus (when to get a piece of pumpkin bread with my tea).

It's amazing how the social activist / organizer can flip a switch and convince himself that everything big corporation  / big government is great for the peeps, and anyone not onboard is demonized.

Entertainment at its finest.

What a complete effing coward this Texas rep is. He picks on a lowly park ranger and then tucks his tail and scurries away when called out by the bystanders. This is the type of crap filled ass hats we have "representing" us in congress. I called his Washington office to let them know what I thought of his chicken shit cowardly behavior, and you should too:

Washington, DC Office
1424 Longworth HOB
Washington, DC 20515
Phone: (202) 225-4005
Fax: (202) 225-9615
Hours: M-F 9AM-6PM EST

He won't stand up to the real criminals in our midst, but jumps on a park ranger's ass who was placed in a difficult position because of scum bags such as himself. Disgusting.

We are awash in lies and this is one example from the Los Angeles Times:

“California's health insurance exchange vastly overstated the number of online hits it received Tuesday during the rollout of Obamacare.

“State officials said the Covered California website got 645,000 hits during the first day of enrollment, far fewer than the 5 million it reported Tuesday.

“The state exchange had cited the 5 million figure as a sign of strong consumer interest and a major reason people had so much difficulty using its $313-million online enrollment system.”

This President will take the country into default. He has shown in the past that Constitutional requirements do not worry him. He has a pathological desire to beat down and destroy those who oppose his expansive concept of the State. Rather than honoring the obligations already in place he will protect his power base to the detriment of the entire country. Even though the revenues to pay our bonded debt (word and bond used to mean something) he will use the cash stream to fund operations and transfer payments. 

Why did Obama meet with the Banksters before meeting with the Congressional "Leaders".

War-Prince Obama still has his twitchy, hairy finger on the LAUNCH button......his mission in Syria was thwarted the last time. Is he ready to bomb to create a distraction now?

That would teach the hostage-taking naysayers and would-be-terrorist dissenters.  Don't fuck with Barry.

It would be pure comedy to see how many congressfolk would flip with the "when we go to war we must be united" excuse.

Ready for QE Five? - It's Already Here

The sad truth is that the primary function of the Fed and Treasury has now become the sustention and expansion of disastrous asset bubbles. In fact, while Mr. Bernanke officially acknowledges QEs one through three, the truth is he has embarked on QE V. What's QE five all about? Putting a lid on U.S. Treasury yields.

The reason for this is our anemic economic recovery has been predicated upon artificially boosting consumption, which is 70% of US GDP. That consumption is, in turn, predicated on borrowing; because we don't have any real income growth on the part of the consumer. The borrowing has been predicated on government's ability to build upon the asset bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate. And the creator of all these bubbles is our central bank, which is the progenitor of this deadly-addictive cycle. The Fed does this by providing ultra-low interest rates and through the massive monetization of government debt.

To prove we have learned nothing from the previous Great Recession; we now have a situation where the FHA will most likely need a $1 billion bailout for the first time in its 79 year history. But why do taxpayers have to bail out the FHA, which provides insurance to lenders such as banks and other financial institutions? The reason is because our government has once again compelled lenders to make loans with next to nothing for a down payment, to individuals who can not afford to purchase a home--doesn't this all sound chillingly familiar? Therefore, we have subjected ourselves to yet another bubble in housing, where home prices are once again rising at double-digit rates and marginal home owners are just a few points higher in interest rates from foreclosure.

It's not just house prices which are in back in a bubble. Stock prices are also growing at double-digit annual rates. These double-digit gains in stocks are taking place in an environment of little earnings and revenue growth. Meanwhile, Treasury bonds offer only half of their average yields going back over 40 years. So, for the first time in our lives we have three bubbles that exist together -- equities, bonds and real estate. But the real catastrophe this time is that these bubbles will become exponentially larger than previous episodes. Therefore, when they burst the devastation will be many times worse.
