"Europe Has Started The Endgame" And Biderman Says "The US Is Next"
Charles Biderman (CEO of TrimTabs) is not shocked that "Europeans who have been getting something for nothing, want to continue getting something for nothing" as they chant that Austerity is evil. Charles provides context for the revolt that the Europeans find themselves fulfilling as he looks back at how they/we got here. Briefly covering the key aspects of the last 25 years, of why and how various parabolic growths (be it stocks, real estate, the internet, or debt) have led us to believe we "deserve something for nothing"; he vehemently argues that the European mess will not resolve itself until the fundamental belief that we all deserve to be taken care of from cradle-to-grave dissolves. In one of his best rants, the BLS-belittler explains how Europe has started the endgame and why the end of this year could well see the US move front-and-center in the crisis. Harsh but fair, in a little under 4 minutes, summarizes all that is wrong with societal values and suggests catalysts for next steps - dismal next steps.

German Imperial family planned the rape and destruction of the eurozone:

If so, good on them.
Excuse me sir.
Discussion of precious metals investment, the European sovereign debt crisis, or firearms procurement are now banned as per Executive Order 666. As a federal employee of the Transportation Security Administration, I am authorized to enforce all Presidential directives. I'm unfortunately going to have to declare this discussion an unlawful assembly and ask you to move along, sir.
Thankfully, this being America, you have freedom of choice. You may: (1) continue your discussion in a federally-sanctioned Free Speech Zone. These are readily identifiable by their distinctive guard towers and 8 foot tall electrified fences. (2) join the rest of the investment community at the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, where friendly Mr. Buffet will pass out some ice cream bars and remind us that American prosperity is never-ending (as long as we maintain faith in Wall Street). (3) watch President Obama's groundbreaking historic speech in favor of gay marriage (which has nothing to do with poll numbers or the approaching election). (4) resist my directions, in which case I will be forced to call in a Tazer-enabled drone attack.
Thank you sir.

Meanwhile, much to everyone's dis-like here, I do think they plan to pump India big time. In fact, remember how 2 months ago, everyone could now invest in the Indian Stock Market? Big, big sign. This is the next Pumper here. hillary was here 2 days ago. Meeting the NGO's, that is a BAD sign.
Perhaps a ZH India fund, with Tense Indian as the resident chartologist. Are you there Tense one?
Just a heads up, diversify here, it might be useful as a hedge.

Like he didn't earn it, is that what you're saying?! He moved paper around with the best of them, and advised on paper and what paper would do. And don't forget, all his wealth, if held in paper, declined in value by over 20% due to inflation over the last decade.
Don't trash talk the man just because he surfed the Tsunami that washed away your false reality. And did you not hear? His taxes are going up, while ours will not 'cause we don't have jobs. Clearly, we are the winners here.
A cheap shot from LetThemEatRand, i.e. that Biderman is too rich for his opinion to be worth listening to.
Yet if Biderman were a homeless bum, someone else would say the very opposite: that he's not worth listening to because he's a financial failure.
So I think LetThemEatRand should tell us exactly how much money Biderman is allowed to have in order for his opinion to be valid.
BTW, as his bio on his website makes clear, he was forced into personal bankruptcy in about 1988. So I would guess he's seen some tough times.
>> A cheap shot from
Pointing out they hypocracy of the mans spew is not a cheap shot. I've been watching Biderman's videos lately and couldn't make it all the way through this one. The whole schtick of the wealthy and well to do are just fine but the little people who bought into they system, paid the regressive taxes, contributed to SS, saved their meager nest egg, are expecting too much is total horse shit.
Why is it not Biderman and Gates and Buffet, and Obama, and Bush, and Congress and the SC and corporte CEOs who are expecting too much? They are the ones extracting a massive amount of material goods and services from the system. The people who worked and did what was supposedly the right thing to do under our socio economic system, who are looking at getting totally shafted, are the ones expecting too much? Fuck Biderman and fuck Munger. Suck this up bitches.
I almost stopped watching for the same reason. He does mention your points above. Watch the whole video. It does not take away from the fact he is from the paper world. I just recently joined the stacking world. It will be a brave new world when the paper people do not know what to steal as the paper is worthless.

True enough, but it was funny. It was served up on a silver platter and rand took it.
"Like he didn't earn it,"
Which should bring us to eventually questioning the very notion of what "earn" means. No, I'm not being coy or argumentative, but, really, I could say that the banksters "earned" their money.
When 2/3 of the world's population lives on $3/day or less I'd have to really question whether ANY talking-head (or, <insert the thousands of occupations that are predicated on non-reality here>) really "earns" anything.
I'm not bashing anyone for bashing the fucked up system. I WILL, however, bash them for stupid predictions/"solutions" (of which "need more growth" is at the top of my list of to call BS on).
Your paraphrase skill leaves something to be desired.
He said, "wanting something for nothing", not "wanting too much".
Wanting something for doing nothing is not the same as having something by doing something. I know that is hard to get as a Rand hater.

@ wandstrasse, I got news for you, once the paychecks stop flowing it's every man for himself. Cops have families too.
Soilders,period.Throw in some DHS goons for awhile.
I've got news for you, you're wrong. Take a look around the world, dozens of military dictatorships to choose from. Not only do the military get paid, they get to fuck people over as a bonus.
CL17, you would be amazed what a man will do for 3 hots and a cot provided for his family.
As it already is, the "enforcement" will be paid above all else to slam the boot down on people's necks. The media will reinforce this as "necessary" (i.e. "fighting 'terrorism'"), which only further adds to the enforcers' sense of worth as they continue to stomp. And up to a point the stomping will go on as it will be the means of extracting their own paychecks; when, however, there's no more extraction to be had, and the masters have turned and run, THEN the enforcers will "realize" (as they find themselves abandoned by their masters and surrounded by the masses) that they were "wrong."
This is an old script. No need to guess.

One thing I've finally come to realize from reading ZH--the end will not come with a bang, except in retrospect, courtesy of future historians who are good at packaging up tidying explanations into neat digestable packages suitable for consumption by economic grads studying someone else's bullshit economic/political science theories in the late 21st century.

As so well put by George Washington – “The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.”
except the international banks made the commercial political, as was evident long ago...
"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens." Jefferson
"The president’s job - and if someone sufficiently vain and stupid is picked he won’t realise this - is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it." Douglas Adams, who might have been describing the 'success' of 2008

Fine.
As things get crazy with the taxes and excessive intrusion we get to watch peoPle in europe go galt. It will happen exactly like anne rand wrote. Ypu tax me too much and intrude on my private life too much then i will quit producing in a way that can be taxed.
Greece is already doing like rome did before the fall. There is a minimum 5000 euro income tax on everyone. Ypu are presumed to be working even if u claim u r not. In rome you were taxed on what they thought u should be producing not what you actually produced and toward the end you were forbidden to leave the land or change jobs.
Anne Rande was drawing on historical parallels with john Galt. Fiction will soon come reality.

No, no, it was a Venusian. Or was that Othello?...
Stragely not a martian, a Republican.. fascist..
Are you sure it's a 5000 Euro tax and not income tax on 5000 Euros minimum? If I remember right, and I could be way off, but the minimum tax is something like 500 Euros because they assume everyone, includng the unemployed, make 5000 Euros a year anyway. 5000 minimum income plus 10% minimum tax = 500 Euros.

The Euro and American crises will be over when the last of 17 million Chinese troops have claimed their new homesteads in their future version of Lebensraum.
There is no crisis and the politicos will spend every dime you have to prove it.
The Americans are the Germans this time. Already in iraq afghanistan, libya, egypt syria... and soon to be IRAN. This is our lebensraum.
One of the better newsletters explained it. The wars and the phony Iran war is about trying to keep the dollar the reserve currency. This is by bullying, threats and wars. Iran wanting to set up an exchange to trade oil and other products between nations without using dollars is the reason for war. Other countries are fed up with Ben's worthless green backs and the bullying.
This exchange is supposed to start before the Nov election. If it starts - the dollar as reserve currency is screwed. This is why people's kids are dying all over the world.
The free printing press dollars since 1971 have been like magic beans for the USA. In the late summer - those magic beans may revert to worthless paper that very few countries will want. And Ben's sh*t green backs are all over the world in 3-D.
What is with Biderman's picture? That is Sausalito and his office is or was in Santa Rosa which is not that close at all. I would bet with 99% certainty that he and most of his staff voted for Obama. Everyone in North Bay did.
I was going to leave this alone but I'm bored...
Why do people always talk about the millions of Chinese troops like they are any kind of threat to the Western world. How the fuck are they going to get here, walk? Boat across the Pacific? 2 million guys makes for a pretty prime target. Maybe they follow the old silk road into Europe? How do you hide that from satellites?
Just because the banks are broke doesn't mean missiles stop flying...and blowing up.
I rarely take the time to explain, 2 million troops require troop transport. China cannot transport them to Taiwan much less the U.S. If they load them on to containerships they will not make it out of port.
When the correct sequence is sent via fortune cookies, hundreds of Chinese storm troopers will flood out of the back of all the Chinese restaurants across the globe, fueled by hyperpower egg noodles sprinkled with the fine powder of dead babies.

What exactly do you mean by "comfy and overpaid entitlement job"? Does this infer government? This may be true in certain areas of government, particularly at the state level, but even there, no one is just handed a job. Everyone must apply to "earn" that job to some degree.

My buddy is our county,s Section Eight (HUD) Director. He is constantly trying to increase their budget because the more money they give away the more salary he and everyone in the department makes. I am a landlord and I have about 40 renters on Section eight. The ones WITH jobs get partial subsidies, the one without jobs get full subsidy, as in they don't pay a dime of rent. We had one chick the other day, when we analyzed her application, if you add up her subsidy, food stamps, disability, etc. she was making 24k for doing nothing. I know it ain't a lot, but I know a single mother of two that is a teacher that makes less....by the way, the renters who have the full subsidies are the ones who bitch and complain the most.
True story. My one renter's 4 bedroom rents for $700 per month. HUD pays...are you ready? DrumRolllllllllllllllllllllllllll. $693 of that. She pays, or is supposed to pay, 7 dollars per month. Oh, and BTW, when I say HUD, I meant those who have jobs. Ain't life grand?
I expect if the economy implodes, there will be EMERGENCY LEGISLATION, one component of which will be you cannot evict anyone for non-payment of rent. Now, banks will be able to evict for defaults on mortgages, but if you have a renter and they or HUD cannot make rent...well, comrade for the duration of the crisis, you are stuck.

@ Cherry Picker
Same boat, same time.
I'm with you, Cherry --
Been going it alone since 1984 when I opened a bar, ran that for 17 years and in the meantime and since have owned and operated a ceramic tile store and installation business -- and got married and raised two fine young men. That all ended about seven years ago when it became almost impossible to squeeze out a paycheck between government regulations and taxes -- got tired of busting my balls and then end up writing checks to the goverment and landlord. Since then, have been making a living hustling what I can both online and off -- never took a dime from any handouts -- nor would I want to.
I look up and down on Main st. here on Long Island and all I see is "for rent" signs. My hat is off to those (mainly immegrants) who are wiling toi take a stab and invest the dedication to do what it takes to run a retail operation -- you have to be willing to work sixteen hour days, sleep on a cot in the back room and wash up in the slop sink and then go back to work. That is the dedication that most sheeple don't have -- they rather the steady paycheck (which are hard to find these days) or go on unemployment and when that stops, disability.
Off the top of my head, I can name five people playing the "send me a check" game -- and they are all capable of work. I'm going to puke in a bucket next time I hear one of them say "oh, I think I'll take the summer off then look for work come the fall." It's too easy to collect -- nobody checking to see if they are looking for work or going to the beach then to happy hour.

It's the monetary system, stupid. While debt may have only recently gone parabolic, it's been tracking on the exponential growth curve since the 70's. Economic growth has been a facade. The system is going to collapse and there is no such thing as austerity, really.... at least as it relates to reducing debt. Austerity means reducing services so that governments can continue to make interest payments. It's retarded to think that austerity to going to balance a budget or pay down debt. That ship set sail the moment we accepted that fiat money + fractional reserve banking + usury was a good idea.
"Economic growth has been a facade."

The federal government is preparing for civil uprising,” he added, “so every time you hear about troop movements, every time you hear about movements of military equipment, the militarization of the police, the buying of the ammunition, all of this is . . . they (DHS) are preparing for a massive uprising.”
Uprisings in Greece is, indeed, a problem, but an uprising of armed Americans becomes a matter of serious national security, a point addressed in a recent report by the Pentagon and highlighted as a vulnerability and threat to the U.S. during war-game exercises at the Department of Defense last year, according to one of the DoD’s war-game participants, Jim Rickards, author of Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis.
He added, “It’s going to get so much worse toward the election, and I’m not even sure we’re going to have an election in this country. It’s going to be that bad, and this, as well, is coming from my sources. But one source in particular said, ‘look, you don’t understand how bad it is.’ This stuff is real; these people, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), they are ready to fight the American people.”

And the guys says the shit gonna start this summer. We don't really need this guy to know this... we all know the US (and the world) is heading toward economic collapse and massive civil unrest.
Not to take away from what you are saying. However, I have to add that Russian Times tend to be very much an alarmist and anti-American, so I would take the news with a grain of salt.
It's not from the Russian times.
Are you serious?
The military had a practice drill in the middle of the night with the cops near downtown Miami very recently.

And just incase you're wondering no they do not issue social security numbers outside of the US or to foreign combatants.

Damn poor math on their side - 450 million rounds for 310 million citizenses when many 80k rifle owners have 2-3K rounds in their safes. They haven't done the math - typicall govt workers.
Fools, these assholes know not what they do. Just like Imperical Japan and National Socialist Germany. They lived in echo chambers too, and then they got a Big Fucking Surprise.
Once you've pissed off the Real America, your sack is in the twister.
"As part of internment, these populations include U.S. military prisoners, and multiple categories of
detainees (civilian internees [CIs], retained personnel [RP], and enemy combatants), while resettlement
operations are focused on multiple categories of dislocated civilians (DCs)."
...and a whiff of gunpowder.
