The Country is on sale for pennies on the Euro. With the massive trade deficits we run as well, other countries have excess dollars to buy up US assets.

Bernanke cautiously pushes for new powers for Fed

8. July 2008 by LuBuffett

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke stuck his toe into the shark-infested waters of Washington regulatory battles and cautiously suggested that the Fed be given new powers to oversee financial markets. In a speech at a FDIC conference, Bernanke said Congress would have to give the Fed new powers if it wanted to give the central bank the job to limit the impact of financial market turmoil on the economy. Bernanke bent over backwards to suggest rather than demand any new powers from Congress. In a major development on another topic, Bernanke said the Fed was considering extending its emergency loans to broker-dealers beyond 2008 to help stabilize the market. The Fed’s emergency primary dealer credit facility is now set to expire in mid-September.

LuBuffetts take:Because the FED has been doing such a bang up job especially lately, they need more POWER? Are you kidding me?Lets take a look at the track record since the inception of the FED in 1913:1. Dollar has lost over 90% of its purchasing power.
2. Great Depression a direct result of FED cutting off credit
3. Taking us off the gold standard and creating this FRAUD money that we have now
4. Commodities Bubble of the 70s
5. Stagflation of the 70s
6. Stock Market Bubble of 2000
7. Housing Bubble 2005
8. Printing more money in a 95 year period than in the history of the WORLD
9. Which lead to the

US being the largest DEBTOR nation in the History of the WORLD
10. And of course the current Fiasco

Wow what a job. Did I leave anything out? So let me get this straight, cause the problem, watch that problem blow up and then want to increase your power and authority…sounds like a great idea to me.ELIMINATE the FED it is the only way the

US can begin to return to greatness

2. July 2008 by admin.Original article: World Tribune

Lets think about this one though and follow the money. If Israel were to attack

Iran, this would be the sort of climatic event that might lead to a market bottom in equities and a market top for crude oil. Further, in times of world insecurity the world flocks to the

US$ which might give it a bid……..Interesting thing to think about. -Gurk

IMF to examine the US FED- More Globalization

27. June 2008 by admin.

Original Article:  DER SPIEGEL 

Officials with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have informed Bernanke about a plan that would have been unheard-of in the past: a general examination of the

US financial system. The IMF’s board of directors has ruled that a so-called Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) is to be carried out in the

United States. It is nothing less than an X-ray of the entire

US financial system.

As part of the assessment, the Fed, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the major investment banks, mortgage banks and hedge funds will be asked to hand over confidential documents to the IMF team.

What will save America?

23. June 2008 by aLuBuffett

Saving America

by Aaron HaysonIn order to save America ,

America must get back to those principles and values that made her great. Specifically unfettered laissez faire Capitalism and individual rights. This country had for the first time in mankind’s sordid history, true freedom. Freedom and prosperity go hand and hand, the freer the people the more prosperous the country. So, my plan to save

America deals with economic and political steps necessary to bring this about.

The economic action is simple in theory but will be a little harder to implement in the beginning. First we must eliminate the Federal Reserve System and we only need to look at the Fed’s track record over the last 95 years to determine that it is a huge mistake. From the great depression of 1929 to the recent housing bubble the Federal Reserve has been responsible if not in part than in full for these problems. And this is what happens when intervention and “good intentions” take place in the business cycle. Instead of allowing the free market to weed out the excesses of the past and allow for rebirth in the normal business cycle, the Federal Reserve and the government in general exacerbates the problem. Often times it is too late in assessing the problem and then proceeds with hackneyed and short sighted “solutions.” And what are some of their “solutions” simple, more regulation and more power passed to the Federal Reserve. Eliminating the Federal Reserve System is essential to returning this country to prominence.Second, we must return to a sound monetary system. Our current experiment with fiat is a dishonest and fraudulent system. Paper is not money, it has no store of value and it will in time return to its intrinsic value, zero. We only need to look at the fact that the dollar has lost over 90% of its value since 1913 to know it is a complete fraud. Allowing the government to inflate the currency is theft, plain and simple. There would be a lot less government spending if the government only had a limited amount of money to work with. Fiat currency robs the producers and savers of a country with inflation. Inevitably the market should decide what that money should be, whether it be gold, silver a combination of the two is open to discussion. Gold and silver obviously pass the Aristotle laws for sound money.Lastly under economic action, complete separation of the government from economic concerns. The corruption, coercion, manipulation, tax breaks, and corporate favoritism which can be found under our current mixed economy state, stifles competition and leads to less innovation. No one wins under this mixed economic model except those with political pull who know how to “play the game.” Likewise, the tax code needs to be reformed or eliminated all together. Again this action would fall under a completely free state. No one has a right to rob one of his effort, labor and production; taxes are nothing more then legalized theft. Taxes stifle industry and are a drain on the economy, eliminate them.The political action is to return to the Constitution which means to drastically decrease the size and scope of the government. The only proper purpose of the government should be to protect individual rights. The government should not be concerned with welfare programs, policing the world or bailing out banks. The functions of the government should be threefold: to protect the citizens from criminals (the police), to protect its citizens from foreign invaders (the army) and to settle disputes (the courts). If we continue down the road we are on currently, it will lead to fascism, if it hasn’t already. We can not condone such actions. We must get away from this silly notion that government is the answer to all our problems, government IS the problem. We must therefore return to the Constitution, a greatly limited government and protection of individual rights.I know that these actions may seem drastic and radical to some, but we have reached a point where they are quickly becoming necessary, drastic times call for drastic actions. If these actions are initiated I am convinced that

America can once again become a beacon of hope to the world.

America can become a safe haven to the intellectuals, the hard working, and the innovators, those that shape humanity and guide its future. And if not than

America will like all empires of the past, continue to decline into the abyss.

Lieberman plans would bar funds from commodities

19. June 2008 by LuBuffett

The head of the Senate’s government affairs committee Wednesday unveiled a series of restrictive proposals aimed at financial speculators in commodities, including one that would place an outright ban on big pension funds buying agricultural and energy futures. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/lieberman-proposes-banning-big-funds/story.aspx?guid=%7BF393811B%2DC32E%2D4F23%2D8178%2D9DA0C256C30A%7D&dist=MostReadHomeWell looks like COMRADE Lieberman is at it again. This is the type of short sighted, spur of the moment legislation that you get when you have politicians who think they can “make a difference.” And they are “protecting consumers and the economy.” When in fact all they do is compound the inflation. If this goes through, commodities will go down briefly, maybe for about a year or two and then they will explode higher. Typical near sighted, instant gratification stupidity. You dont “protect” people with barriers and regulations idiot. This idiot Politician who has no idea of the situation, blames the funds and speculators…Its always their fault right? Instead of coming up with draconian “solutions” why dont you idiots come up with a real energy strategy or better yet a sound currency. You know the one they talked about in the Constitution, backed by Gold and Silver. Oh, and you, the Congress, can also try taking back the sole right to controlling the money instead of allowing a corrupt, evil set of private banks ( aka the FEDERAL RESERVE) in doing that.If Comrade Lieberman had his way the only instruments we would be allowed to invest in would be state sponsored bonds yielding less than the rate of inflation. Speculators and Investors are not the evil behind the price movements, currency devaluation is. Everyone knows that currency devaluation has been one of the biggest drivers in the commodity boom. Investors and Speculators are essential to free markets, something you obviously know little to nothing about. They take the RISKS they should reap the REWARDS.Do us all a favor Comrade Lieberman and go back to doing your “job” whatever it is you are supposed to do. And keep your ASS out of the markets.
