Infographic: Presenting A World Covered In (Hundred Dollar Bill) Debt
Our friends at Demonocracy have once again surpassed themselves, and have followed up the infographic showing the truckloads of cash that are needed to rescue the insolvent PIIGS, with this masterpiece which, while making the naive assumption that debt is represented by physical paper (when it is nothing but a bunch of electronic ones and zeros stored in various computers around the world), presents in gloriously visual terms precisely what the literal debt burden of the world's would look like expressed in piles of one hundred dollar bills. The result is quite stunning...

Ok, so I've been thinking of what Im going to post here the day Greece hard defaults. It will have to be extra-snarky cause Im going to copy and paste it to my entire universe...thiis is what I have so far:
"That was some of the best acting I have ever scene when Greece Hard defaulted and the drama dripped from frame to frame. Who wrote this? Spielberg?"
Suffice it to say I will use it, corrected for that chart. "That was some of the best acting I have ever seen for global meltdown and collapse. Who wrote this? Robin Williams and Woopie Goldberg?"
I now return you to your regularly scheduled show.
Fractional Reserve Banking.
The Greatest Ponzi in the history of the human race by a margin of light years.
The real 'Inconvenient Truth' Deeply Captured (by those who control the fractional reserve central banks - they're a tight group) governments, regulators & their proxy in the form of the media don't talk about is the massive debt tsunami that's headed all of humanity's way, and only those who control the fractional reserve central banks have safe & secure perches high above the danger zone for when the devastation takes place.
Haven't you heard? Debt is the new "thing", the new "must have"; it shows your wealth. The more you have, the wealthier you are.

Japan's 1 quadrillion Yen debt if stacked in 1 Yen coins goes to the sun and back three times.
collards like iPads are easily digested.
allow me to paste the following, tangentially or not, related to the above:
"LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The International Energy Agency on Friday lowered its estimate for global oil demand growth in 2012 to 800,000 barrels a day, compared to its previous forecast of 1.1 million barrels a day, citing lowered projections for global economic growth. Global GDP growth is revised down to 3.3% for 2012, from the 4.0% level assumed since September, the agency noted. "A two-speed outlook prevails - with robust oil demand growth envisaged in the non-OECD, while demand continues to fall across most of the OECD," the IEA said in its monthly oil market report."
TRANSLATION: higher oil prices will crush the non-existent recovery such that the cover-up of the actual depression will be that much more untenable; ie just like yields and interest rates are hyper-synthetic and subversive, so too will actual real world oil prices hasten the inevitable grand correction.
Insomnia is a motherfucker.

Talk about a visual of "awash"
The wave of forclosures that Obama has just unleashed now has the opportunity to have some great green wallpaper.
I don't see how this can be an issue. Seems like a perfectly sound foundation to build a world economy around. Just don't give the Joker some gasoline and a match.
some men can't be threatened, bargained with or bought off... some men just want to watch the world burn.
I guess now would be a great opportunity for the Joker...
love that scene in the dark knight when he burns that huge stack of FRNs.
vote the Joker for president in 2012- burn the house of fiat to the ground.
That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this post.
KingWorldNews.com used a pic of the Joker burning the pile of cash when Michael Pento did a blog post for the website about dollar destruction.
You aint seen nothing yet.
If you visualize all the debt in the world as a cube of gold, you will quickly find out that there isn't that much gold.
If you visualize how many taxpayers are needed to pay it off, you will quickly find out that there isn't that many taxpayers.
If you visualize how much oil it will take to pay off the debt....
OK..enough....
"If you visualize all the debt in the world as a cube of gold, you will quickly find out that there isn't that much gold."
True, w/the qualification: "at today's per oz. prices." There's actually "plenty" of gold if it's allowed to find an accurate price.
"If you visualize how many taxpayers are needed to pay it off, you will quickly find out that there isn't that many taxpayers."
Also, true w/the qualification: "at today's wage rates."
Both qualifications bring up the point mentioned in the article that $7.6T in debt has to rolled this year against a worldwide savings pool in the $4 to $5T range. Something's gotta give, prices/wages/interest rates, or failed bond auctions. This yawning chasm will prove harder and harder for CBs to fill AND maintain low rates. That probably wont stop them from trying however.

Why can't we just print those bills? Problem solved, non? (Edit: @Lord Wellington below.)
There's not enough ink to print that much money.
The U.S is only able to print about 700 mill annually. They could start issuing larger bills but then the populace might start making comparisons to Weimer Germany and put 2 and 2 together.
Interesting image indeed!
China has debt?
WHY?
Why spend your money when you can spend somebody else's?
All that debt (liability) is someone's asset. It's the interest, stupid! You don't think the very wealthy actually work for a living, do you?
God save the trees if they actually try to print all of this...

Quite.
A matter of offsetting fiat debt?
You make me right! Lord Wellington is back >
A couple reasons for Chinese debt: the national government is now bailing out the municipal governments who were green-lighted to deficit spend to stave off the '08 collapse; muni debt in China, brought to our attention courtesy of Tyler, now exceeds US$1.4Tn. Another reason for Yuan bonds is that the IMF, via DSK, rejected China's application to join the SDR on the official basis that there is not enough liquidity in the RMB and that not enough places in the world accept RMB as legal tender or as convertible currency; China is addressing these issues. As an aside, the third and unofficial reason for not including the RMB in the SDR is that the USD is already included, and a USD-pegged RMB would not offer the SDR any greater stability or measure of value.
IMF will be destroyed by China soon. Wait and see
...mark of the prophetic beast ...Bitchez.
What's the problem? Every debt is an asset. So when you way we are "awash" in debt, we are awash in assets. But then that doesn't generate much fear, does it?
No, the problem is not the absolute quantity of debt but whether the amount of debt can continue to expand at a rate that will support economic growth and, therefore, the income to service the debt. It's all about flow. Once the amount of debt exceeds the amount that can be serviced from current income, the credit contraction begins and doesn't stop until income stabilizes and debts are liquidated to a levell that can once again be serviced with existing income.
So the more important visual is income to debt ratios under different interest rate assumptions.
Incorrect. As more and more debt is "created" the assets that collateralize it become of lower and lower quality and the ROA of most recently encumbered assets is far less than the previous ones. This explains why interest rates (i.e. the cost of capital) have to keep going down to avoid depleting equity. Call it a late cycle desire of companies to cash out and instead of investing in capex and growing ROA, ROI, and ROE, to maximize equity to shareholders, but it is a definite phenomenon with a few occasional exceptions. What is the cumulative default rate over their lifetime of all companies who have ever hit a BB credit rating: at least 80% of them default.
Additionally, in Europe 80% of all debt is secured. In the US 40% is secured, meaning 60% is unsecured, and guaranteed merely by cash flows. When the cash flows cease, one's best hope is to get a debt for equity conversion or lose everything. At least in Europe the banks will recover something. In the US, there will be zero recoveries when the default wave begins. However, it also explains why the ECB is forced to resort to collecting the most toxic and worthless of collateral (such as today) in order to fund banks as all the good collateral has already been pledged.
The transition away from bank debt to bonds as good callteral is exhausted over the past several decades can be seen below.
Tyler you are both right indirectly. Why do you waste your time? That is Why a " Mid Summers Night Dream", was written.
Shakespeare, Good Stuff!
The Bailout Bubble...Could it ever pop!
I used to think there was a tipping point, but looking at Japan, it seems the US could drag this out for years by printing and increasing debt. Perhaps the end will come when no one will buy the debt. This surely ties into the importance of the USD remaining as reserve currency.
It has everything to do with the USD and its reserve status..We're already at the Minsky Ponzi Finance stage
Bingo. The importance of countries moving to other currencies for oil transactions is huge. The US empire and USD reserve status is crumbling.
Just look at how the fading empire hunted down each oil producer that tried to switch away from USD (Iraq, Libya)... at present the fast and furious attempts are directing to Syria with the final destination, Iran.
Btw the former IMF head, DSK, fell down for ever proposing EUR for oil.
Golf clap.
What are the units for the graphic?
Um, a $100 US dollar note. Start at the top of the graphic and work down.
Thanks for the help dear, but I was replying to a comment and not the main article.
Those are years on the x axis.
Surprisingly, on the vertical axis the units are dB-kilokumquats (deciBels using one thousand kumquats or a kilokumquat as a reference, notated as dBkkqt), so that 40 dBkkqt equals 10 million kumquats.
The short version---I'm one to talk---is risk is mispriced. The degree of mispricing is partially, though not completely, a function of the cost and availability of debt. It's also a function of stupidity, or bad credit analysis, which is possible under any system.
By the way, what is the definition of "secured"? If collateral securing Euro-debt has a market value of 50% of pledged value (quite possible if realizing collateral value becomes necessary), nobody is better off. Then on a different but related topic, there is the security that comes with being a senior debtholder, as in the Chrysler bailout. I guess this is why it takes a blog to explain it all.
Highly spurious argument. Try drawing money from an underwater bank account, and see whether the teller agrees with your logic. Plus and minus signs cannot be magically reversed. Go ask Madoff why he didn't just use your trick and earn a real 50 billion.
"Every debt is an asset.".......even if it can't be paid back????
"No, the problem is not the absolute quantity of debt but whether the amount of debt can continue to expand at a rate that will support economic growth and, therefore, the income to service the debt"....hilarous, good one
You must be a CPA, don't start a business anytime soon.

...."To the point: The whole US and global banking systems have over the past decade or two (hic) have immersed themselves totally in the property market, and in particular, in the Residential Markets with the result that property prices have been grossly inflated due to the debt availability accelerator. That is, the more debt available (easy credit, no deposit, interest only schema, etc.) the faster the distribution of debt and the greater amount of debt in total - until saturation (an unknown known). Of course, the Banks add these house price debt obligation to their balance sheet in the form of assets.
And, or so, you ask? Well, if the Banks marked down their assets in the form of these houses by say the market rate, and that being less `50%+ or so, then those Banks would all be totally bankrupt. To get around this, the Federal government allowed the Banks to value their assets as they liked or as was convenient. Another set of Laws abolished in the sweep of the Presidential Robo-pen. (Yes, the President of the USA has an auto-Robo-pen that signs for him – perhaps they should have called it the auto-masta-pen?).
Unemployment in the USA according to John Williams is around 22.4%/ 47 million people on food stamps and over half of the US household are receiving some sort of benefit/inflation ~6%. Just who now wants to buy a house apart for the sharp speculators and fleet of foot flippers. The Banks sells you a house; there is no mortgage/ no deed of transfer and the chances of having it repossessed by the same bank or by a different Bank before you even actually move in, are odds on. There is now no guarantee of Title.
The point: The Banks globally are invested almost totally in the property debt markets, in fact, in Australia it is the only real game in town as our tractable “leadership” ("Law-makers" Ha) have ensured by being so directed by the direct influence of the Bankers themselves. IOW Banks’ profits are now collapsing Worldwide; have collapsed Worldwide and are being propped up only by being allowed to mark their assets to fantasy and the transfer of public monies and long term future commitments of the unborn from the unwashed to the Banks.

Plague In Australia: Frank Lowy!Land Destroyer: Globalists' Australian Nexus
A globalist rat's nest amidst the rise of Asia.
by Tony Cartalucci
Addendum: A description of Lowy Institute's involvement regarding the formation of a planetary regime, as illustrated in selected articles (this list will be updated):
- Regarding the climate change hoax: The [Australian] PM's Address to the Lowy Institute via The Australian.
- Regarding US-Australian military integration: "Planners make the case for US bases" via The Australian.
- Regarding the contrivance of an World Internet Organization to regulate the Internet globally: "The Shadow of Cyber Regulation" via ISN, by Lowy Institute's Jonas Rey.
- Promoting Australia's commitment to endless war in Afghanistan: "More to do in Oruzgan " via The Sydney Morning Herald, by Lowy Institute Non-Resident Fellow, Dr Rodger Shanahan.
Bangkok, Thailand July 5, 2011 - Meet the Lowy Institute. Filled with big business interests and perhaps the most degenerate, depraved minds humanity has yet produced, it poses as an "independent international policy think tank," whose objective is to "generate new ideas and dialogue on international developments and Australia’s role in the world." The word "independent" is somewhat confusing, but what is clear is that it is yet another Fortune 500 run policy and propaganda clearinghouse serving not Australia, but rather the global corporate-financier elite.
Notable corporate members include JP Morgan, Rothschild, Royal Bank of Scotland, Deutsche Bank, and Chevron. While Australian brands like Qantas, BHP Billiton, and the National Australian Bank appear more "indigenous" in nature, the reality is that their boards, like everything in the globalist realm, are an ongoing game of musical chairs between all of the worlds globalist, multinational corporations. For example, BHP Billiton's board of directors alone features Jacques Nasser, formerly of Ford Motor Company and JP Morgan, John Buchanan formally of British Petroleum and Vodafone, Carlos Cordeiro formally of Goldman Sachs, David Crawford formally of Bank of America, and the list goes on and on.
The Lowy Institute's board of directors is something to behold. Sitting at the top, is 80 year-old,accused tax evader, Australian-Israeli Frank Lowy, after whom the institute is named. He currently oversees the Westfield Group, was a board member of the Reserve Bank of Australia, and sits upon the board of directors of the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) - not of Australia, but of Israel. Joining him is son Peter Lowy, who is also a Lowy Institute board member, a RAND Corporation trustee, and a board member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council - not of Australia, but of the United States. Also on the board amongst several others, is Professor Ross Garnaut of the University of Melbourne as well as Australian National University (ANU), Ian Macfarlane formally of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Goldman Sachs, and Temasek Holdings, Professor Robert O'Neill of the corporate-stackedInternational Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), and a former head of ANU's Strategic and Defense Studies Centre.
Perhaps most disturbing however is the inclusion of Brookings Institution's Martin Indyk, the co-author of the, frankly speaking, insane "Which Path to Persia?" report where Indyk, fellow Lowy associate Michael O'Hanlon, and others conspired against the nation of Iran to fund known terrorist organizations, engineer fake street protests, buy off members of the Iranian military, and even attempt to provoke Iran into a war it was disinterested in fighting - not for national security, but for what Indyk, O'Hanlon, and others called, "American interests and influence throughout the Middle East."
It then appears that the Lowy Institute is nothing more than a collection of banksters, criminal conspirators, and multinational multi-corporate interests. It is a institute of big business, by big business, and for big business. What is alarming is the vast reach it has within Australia's universities and the alleged "free-press." The name Australian National University comes up more than once and various members of Lowy's staff are also contributors to both Australian and international papers and television networks. Also alarming is the "cross pollination" reflected in Lowy's staff between the institute and other notorious corporate-funded corporate-serving organizations like the Brookings Institution, the International Crisis Group, the fraudulent Harvard Belfer Center, and the warmongering Center for Strategic and International Studies.

100+% debt-to-GDP means nothing - they'll keep kicking the can until at least 100% deficit-to-GDP.
I got a laugh out of that. Hell, Japan was at nearly 60% last year, while the US trucked along at around 10%. I suppose they could theoretically reach 100% with falling tax revenues accelerated by a contracting economy and increased deficit spending to attempt to compensate.. Hm, this makes me recall Jim Rickards as he cautioned us to listen for the bernank to espouse 'notional GDP targeting'. Yikes, better file my patent for this sturdy, new Print-o-Max 3Trillion!

thanks chancee, useful link!
(excerpt of the last 2 paragraphs)
When Johnson analysed the frequency at which fractures of different size and duration occur, he found that fractures lasting one second or less follow a different statistical pattern to longer ones. The one-second cut-off is significant, says Johnson, since it is about the time it takes a human trader to weigh up a piece of evidence and make a decision. On shorter timescales computers control market dynamics since they can make decisions in mere milliseconds.
This ultra-fast computing-controlled trading regime is barely recognised, let alone controlled by any government regulator with an interest in preventing crashes. "Nobody really knows what's going on down there," says Johnson. "It's like the wild west."
This interesting article based on scientific research links algos, HFT transactions and Bourse fractures that could cause systemic meltdowns, as their frequency and volume increases, aka 2008 & 2010.
It reminds me about a theory about why the ROman Empire fell : Lead in its pipes and all those bunga - bunga nights when people drank water to dilute food and wine ingurgitation at Pompei and Heracleum orgies etc.

That graphic mentioned something that makes me think that this whole Euro debt thing is possibly being overblown by the MSM to a certain extent for the very purpose of scaring investors to move their money to the US and into dollars to keep propping up the dollar.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Looks to me like the stacks at the bottom got switched for USA & Japan. Am i the only one who went that far?

It has convinced me to vote for Ron Paul, not because I think he can win or even because I think he is the smartest guy on the block. It is simply that he is the only senior politician who has the guts to stand up in public and tell the horrible truth about our system of banking and wealth creation in America. Behind all the fancy models, analysis, financial advice, investment strategies, blue smoke and mirrors, at its core it is as blunt, brutal, and ruthless as a baseball bat to the back of the head for the average citizen. Once you realize that virtually all the wealth held by the 1% of the 1% has been stolen through the mechanisms of the monetary system itself, you realize that no matter what you do, you can’t win in the long run unless you somehow become a part of that tiny universe of people who control it.
