Rule of Law (not men).
There, is fix for you!
I think people should read more than one!
Stay on the computer - more porn to see - while drinking more and exerising the left hand then right hand while eating more and smoking Colorado madness - while taking selfies of me and Miley tweking a blunt with the Pope while doing a Full Father Nelson on that alter boy Gaff Biden.
okay, I laughed and gave you an upvote.
To everyone else, lighten up, Francis.
(which reminds me; where's the Francis Sawyer fucker? He definitely brought some levity to this fucked-up situation and got banned for it....fuck)
Bullshit. Francis was an embarassment to everyone on this site. He'll be a lot happier posting on Stormfront.
I actually enjoyed Francis & his posts. Although, I didn't agree with his views on bashing Jews. I did agree with his Zionists points of view. All forms of freedom of speech must be protected good & bad.
Take it from me. I was banned from Oath Keepers for speaking my mind by attempting to educate the forum about Zionism. OK is a hypocritical organization which selectively denies its members individual critical thinking skills & freedom of speech.
Drink less was definitely a goal of mine. The glass of Jack Daniels next to me lets you know how long that lasted.
Real resolution; laugh at any fucker that represents or speaks of the status quo. My wife says i'm too depressing. Maybe this will help, while pissing in the statist's cheerios.
I would like to see a chart that compares the FED balance sheet and net alcohol consumption.
First time Boris is hear "quantitative easing", is think of bowel movement.
My efforts to cut down drinking failed, so I went dry before Christmas. So far so good.
Dry Christmas...? You are drink vermouth?
Economist John Williams thinks 2014 will mark the beginning of hyperinflation.
“You are going to see, early on, a crisis in the dollar that will start to trigger the inflation . . . as the inflation picks up, that’s going to savage the economy, which is already in a depression. It never recovered.”
Forget what you have heard about the so-called recovery.
“The consumer is in trouble. There is nothing happening to turn the economy around.” The weak economy is bad news for the dollar.
“Anything that would suggest deficit deterioration here, and a weak economy would do that, will have a devastating impact on the dollar.” And if foreigners start selling some of the 12 trillion U.S. dollar based assets, such as bonds and currency, things will turn ugly fast.
“We’re dependent on the rest of the world continuing to go along with us and continue to support the dollar. That’s not going to happen.” So, the big question everyone is asking is when will the buck take a hit in value?
The dollar will likely begin selling off before the middle of this year, and he adds, “It’s really going to be a currency panic . . . when the fundamental selling pressure really starts to pick up, when the selling gets heavy . . . in turn, the weakness will be seen in a spike in oil prices and a spike in gasoline prices.”
There will be a panic out of the dollar and he predicts,
“Once you see a massive sell-off here, I see the game as being over.”

And the Euro? Those "customers" are even "deader"...
Might I add...
And the Yen? Those "customers" are even "deader"...
And the pound? And the CHF?
Keep it simple - Fiat.
I agree in part with the great musician John Williams (oh it's not that John Williams, well for a second I figured he was the most talented man in the universe being an economic genius and a brilliant musician) because I see a correction on the world stock markets that should have them fall 10% - 20% collectively, and this move will happen during the next few months. The economies have lost speed, and whereas the data can be massaged, it can not be outright made up.
Unemployment should see a upturn in the USA as retail sales, the driver of the economy - however stupid - has not shown any significant growth since the depression began in '07. This even with tens of thousands of Boomers "retiring" every month, because their old jobs are not being filled.
China, which has done its fair share of number massaging created a housing bubble that will make the other housing bubbles look like a walk in the park.
Japan used "stimulus recovery" to absurdity and has contributed to global inflation per capita worse than any other Nation-State. Yet wages have not risen anywhere, and the stagflation for the low and middle classes will soon become maddening.
Europe is slowly, one by one, getting their pensions stolen from them. It is starting off in the East and moving West. Soon it will be Paris, France - the throne of Le Renaissance - that will see Madame LaGarde cashing pensions in her big Couture handbag.
And once stocks fall and pensions are taken, then we will see Bond Auction failures. And this, this will lead to the currency crisis that has been looming for years. This is when the dollar, and all fiat currencies with it, will fall from grace.
This will also be when we see the next leg of gold's triumphant journey. Gold will move to its old high of near $2k in the next 6 months and when all this mess unravels and Madame LaGarde uses her firms advice and takes a "One Off Capital Levy" (page 49 on the report below) it will blow past that high.
2014 sure looks to be not short of entertainment, to say the least.

The dollar is surely fucked but I expect that another currency likely the yen or perhaps even euro will be the spark that sets off the global conflagration of fiatscos...
First you require a global asset price collapse (from rising interest rates seasoned with a sprinkling of fear) followed by massive UNAVOIDABLE CB injections into the Primary Dealers / Investment Banks to save the system from utter deflationary collapse.
Upon surveying the new landscape these same banks and their kleptocrat friends will lever those tens of trillions into hundreds of trillions dedicated to purchasing EVERY STRATEGIC ASSET ON THE PLANET (Think oil, land, food, weapons etc.) while denying everyone else (except said klepto comrads) access to credit while this event occurs to shake more strategic assets free.
The subsequent hyper-inflationary wave will make them Lord Masters of the Universe and the inflation will render the debt to the CB's that provided the 'liquidity' practically worseless.
In other words... THE PERFECT PLANETARY HEIST
That's why they need the master monetay mercenary mechanic
Stanley Fischer
"banks and their kleptocrat friends will lever those tens of trillions into hundreds of trillions dedicated to purchasing EVERY STRATEGIC ASSET ON THE PLANET"
Modern day realm of the King or Emperor writ large.
And, unfortunately, the masses' obedience to the Alpha-males continues unabated.
Here is a podcast of John Williams saying what DavidPierre put up for those wanting to hear his words...

A few comments about this thesis of hyperinflation in 2014:
If people are selling Treasuries, they are moving to dollars - the dollar rises in value (deflationary)... (personally, I don't think people will sell Treasuries as risk rises, but rather the opposite)
If the economy is going down, salaries stagnate, which leads to deflation / decrease in demand...
As the stock market and other assets (stores of value) drop, the demand for dollars increase (deflationary)...
Until debt is significantly lowered, deflation will lead the way because any new dollars go towards paying down debt... and every dollar of debt destroyed means less dollars (and the dollar rises in value which is deflationary)...
I don't doubt we'll get to higher inflation (and the complete destruction of the $), but it's not until we have a healthy, uncontollable bout of deflation (which will begin to destroy debt via default). It is then that the printing goes into overdrive which leads first to even more debt being destroyed (and the velocity of money dropping even more), which THEN leads to inflation (which will show up very quickly as the abundant supply of dollars will have no where else to go)... As long as dollars have a place to R.I.P. (debt destruction), then they will not significantly manifest themselves in the economy (hyper-inflation)...
It's just common sense related to how these competing elements play together...
Don't make fun of the Pope! That's sacrilege!
The Kirk, I mean Church, has quite the PR machine going now though. They got rid of the Nazi and instituted itself with a guy who washes poor peoples feet! Right before the world economies implode! Fucking genius!
Don't make fun of the Pope?? This new Pope makes fun of himself; he's clueless.
The fact that Time magazine and the NYT loves him tells you everything you need to know about the guy.
Lou Holtz says he has a spot for me on the 'starter's bench' if I go 'home' to the church. Lou Holtz wouldn't lie to me, he has a lisp, you can trust him.
You might like Ann Barnhardt's page at http://www.barnhardt.biz. She has cutting rants about the Pope's cluelessness. At least one Pope rant per month, it seems, plus quite a few good rants about the moral collapse of America. She is one of our allies.
He's making the Great Whore more amenable to the world. This shouldn't be too surprising.
I've been to the Sistine Chapel. The ceiling is a mess. I suggested some nice wallpaper.
The most important thing to know about Francis is that he is the first Jesuit to take the seat of Peter ever. Previously they were content to control the Vatican from the shadows, but to paraphrase Juncker, "When things get serious, you have to take total control."
re. timing

Don't make fun of the guy who looks like the love-child of Mike Huckabee and Gomer Pyle?
Surely you jest.
