Third – World – Banana Republic – Wrought with Fraud/Corruption wrapped in a Fascist – Police State~

Obama`s Domestic Army(DHS) posted August 22,2013, by Western Journalism 4:45 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pUqprkCHqs this was from an article from Obama`s purge 197 Officers from military since 2009 to present, for not being able to shoot on sight any American that needed to be put down, by our fearless leader`s command. Obama is seeking to arrest any who question anything he is doing or his agenda. Perhaps its time for that special next best place to live, a second passport, perhaps dual citizenship in _____ wherever, except here in the USSA. ….. And Al you were right `Facebook` is run by the CIA, but hey I`m still on Facebook, remember, have your friends close, but have your enemies closer.

“Is America Still the Greatest Country in the World?

Literally, I have to check my pulse sometimes when I visit here to actually make sure that I’m not dealing with a form of artificial intelligence that is somehow lower in IQ than that of the average North American humanoid.

I actually now question as to whether there are real living adults that harness real intellectual brain matter that are directing the programing here that would find something as utterly ridiculous as a subject matter about, “are we still the greatest country”.

Is this a serious question? if this completely shallow and meaningless soundbite derived from decades of “American Exceptionalism” brainwashing is meant to be serious then unfortunately I can no longer on any level take this program’s weekly or daily content with even a modicum of seriousness. This is comedy and buffoonery filled nonsense that is right out of the playbook of a Trotsky, Mao or a Stalin used as a firewall to placate the masses of useful idiots.

The current United States of America has gone down the ****hole so far you couldn’t find this corrupt third world stazi police state with a heavy duty commercial Caterpillar backhoe.

All of the content programmers keep asking these monumentally childish questions because they really believe this mindless tripe but desperately need the public’s foundational support for such counter-intuitive hogwash that has become laughable to anyone that has to live in this corrupt cesspool.

The faulty logic and innate subliminal misdirections of ridiculous talking points on something so absurd is really the host needing public validation of something far too painful to admit internally, intellectually and personally.

You can lead a horse to water………..but the rest is up to him/her!

We are way beyond the event horizon but people are still living a la la land.

Illuminati and Facebook – Mark Zuckerberg aka `the overlord` for his bosses over at the CIA in the video speed up video to 4:50, and see the CIA talking how wonderful that Facebook has been so great in intelligence gathering, a gold mine of information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otxM–fTCcM

Segment #8 That was a really awesome discussion.Jeff “cracked me up”regarding the bugging of the personal phone call.

I thought Chris Martensons comment that the trust in the dollar was being destroyed on purpose was interesting.

Part of the rub for Merkel is that the NSA was tapping her cell phone during her re-election campaign. Now bring that home to our political campaigns and project the abuses therein.

Foreign espionage has always been around; that’s no no biggie. Our 4th Amendment doesn’t apply to non-citizens overseas. But the massive real-time and ongoing sweeping and archiving of electronic data on everyone in the USA are the trappings of a paranoid state–and that is dangerous. Your bank records, your health records, your personal records, your emails, your phone calls, your purchases are all being archived in relational data bases with key identifiers that are being integrated across the board via gateways and portals into a giant integrated relational database where each and every individual cataloged. H
al the computer remembers everything you do and say, ‘he’ knows you better than you know yourself. The beast is upon us, and it is of our own creation–and like all things it can be used for the betterment or to the detriment of humanity.

Back in the 1700s, the power elite invaded peoples privacy with impunity but by brute force and thus with less efficiency. Just because modern day technologies make it easier to snoop without warrants doesn’t mean the 4th Amendment is obsolete; it just means that it’s been usurped.

Already we hear comments coming from US Senators describing the critics of a totalitarian state as being the enemy of ‘our state’!

Al, you said you think the U.S. is doing things that are immoral.
I agree, I just wish it hadnt taken 200 years for people to say it publicly.
Someone said that the U.S. could be the “best” again?
I would suggest that people that think in those terms shouldnt be involved in any kind of leadership role. I also think that teaching children that they or their nation is somehow “better” than anyone else is abuse in many ways to many people.

Maybe someone that undestands that military or wars dont make a person or nation “great” or “the best” might be a consideration for leadership positions.

Otherwise an interesting show. Thanks to all.

Hey Boys,

The fix for Obammiecare is right here

http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-improved-obamacare-program-released-on-35-flop,34294/?ref=auto

The mantel of “America Being the Greatest country in the world” was destroyed when John Kennedy was assasinated and the ensueing government coverup.

Afordable Care Act? My pig’s eye!

Rates up, deductibles up, copays up and healthcare availabilty DOWN.

And make no mistake, there WILL be death panels. Canada’s got ’em.

http://calwatchdog.com/2013/10/24/liberal-slate-admits-obamacare-will-have-death-panels/

Will the path to Soylent Green be paved with Simple Green or bacon grease?

Let’s call it what it is: UNAFORDABLE DEATH CARE!

Yes Mr. Big Al Korellin,

Many want Obammiecare to fail so the masses will scream for a single payer system.

It is scarier than this http://tinyurl.com/o45nhgb

Excellent program. Never(well,almost never) a borrower or lender (well, almost always) be. Shakespeare had this one figured out several hundred years ago………………………

PM’s will have their day. No one knows when…………………………

Kory,

You really think single payer could work in Amerika when there’s tens of millions of illegals coming into the country.

Dont be a grumpy : Buy blue chip stocks , enjoy a small bull market run, at least till Xmas. love to you all S

Just a quick couple comments on Chris Martenson’s remarks about an “exploding art market’. I have also been noticing the same thing and it bears and eerie resemblance to the mid 70’s when gold was also making it’s way up towards it’s peak which came in the early eighties. The trend then was also away from certain kinds of assets and into tangibles like antiques, paintings, high quality jewellry and all form of rarities and antiquities. On the other hand we had some pretty steep inflation in a few of those years which we do not see today. The most important attribute though is that there is usually a close correlation between stock market gains and price appreciation in fine arts. There is also a correlation between GDP growth and art price growth. That is another way of saying that an interuption in the current rises in equity markets and/or economic growth will put a big hole in the art market fast should it come to an end.

Great show Al.

People are very unhappy with a lot things happening to the West.

High and ever increasing taxation, exploitative and non-accountable government, non-white immigration and anti-white policies in government and media, loss of privacy rights, Banker controlled economy.

Television, sports and other idiocy provide distraction for the masses who have little other hope.

Regarding the show music, I like most of it, but the theme music that always starts the second hour is, to put it bluntly, depressing as hell.

I for one would not miss it if was gone!!!

Cheers.

I always wondered where The German banks got all that money to bail out the rest of Europe now I think I have it figured out, well DUH! DT

More than 50% voted for Obama and the voters knew this is what Obama was going to do.

I know the cost of living in Canada is high, but if you can’t live on $125,000 to $150,000 a year then there is something seriously wrong with you.

The death of the dollar is highly exaggerated. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Africa where annual growth rates now range upwards of 5% to as much as 9% annually for many of the fastest growing countries.

These numbers are astonishing at a time when much of Europe is in outright recession and elsewhere in the developed world growth comes in at a dismal one or two percent. And yet over here, the new engine of global growth is currently being strangled off by the lack of foreign currency reserves needed to acquire the very much in demand production from the rest of the world.

These countries simply cannot buy abroad in their own currencies. The demands are enormous and growing though. Industry and suppliers across the globe are being deprived access to an enormous market for the simple reason dollars are in short supply here. Solutions are clearly needed.

Egyptian Pounds, Kenyan Shillings and Ethiopian Birr as three examples are utterly worthless in international exchange markets. You must have dollars to thrive and survive. It is only by virtue of their respective export incomes that these countries can come by the much needed hard currencies like dollars or Euros to buy energy, heavy equipment, machinery, furnishings and technology that is so highly demanded at this time.

In Ethiopia it is reported that as much as half of all its FX is currently devoted to fuels alone and serious gasoline and deisel shortages are now commonplace. Both Kenya and Egypt have seen considerable economic setbacks in this past year due to their respective crisis (terrorism and civil unrest) and the precipitous decline that followed in tourism visits which underpins a large part of their economies. The currency inflows brought by foreigners is a critical loss for both of them at this time.

In the wider picture, much of the African continent is still resource based and so their inflows of reserve dollars have been meaningfully impacted as commodities prices for everything from coffee and corn to metals and minerals have declined these past two years.

Examples include most of the Gold and metals producing countries where mine closures have become commonplace and both exploration and resource development have either been curtailed or abandoned altogether. Governments are further deprived of the much needed lease fees, rents and associated levies that are gained when the miners take concessions and begin the serious search for new resources. Furthermore, employment is being impacted negatively as are investors hopes for returns.

These are all outcomes of the recent declines in the commodity structure as I mentioned earlier, a slowing China and a globe that teeters close to all out recession. Agricultural countries have been especially hard hit. There is no doubt some irony here where past increases in Third World food prices have on the one hand made life miserable for poor working people while at the same time many of these countries are also net agricultural exporters and now suffer economic losses as prices fall. So declines in export incomes hurt even more as costs to buy the daily bread decline. You cannot win for trying in some developing countries.

Annecdotal evidence suggests that at this time in Ethiopia there is premium of as much as 5 to 7% for USD on the black market. It is a very high premium but such is the cost as importers and at-risk companies face closures and shutdowns where Central Banks will not grant the needed exchange as the country pursues a massive dam building project against a backdrop of inflation that has run as high as 35% in recent years.

Africa as many will know is not yet a manufacturing powerhouse. Most of its needs are still being sourced by imported technology and equipment that is being brought in to meet the tremendous needs of the growth industries like housing and infrastructure development . Roads, rails, ports, new telecom, waterworks and modern housing are springing up like desert roses after a hard rain all across the continent.

That means that everything from backhoes to drilling equipment and glass to cement, rolled steel, rebar and aluminum are in heavy demand. So are computers, copper wire, fiberglass, ceramics, plumbing and elecrical equipment and virtually every imaginable manufactured product known to man.

Most are not yet made here.

Companies like Cat, for example, are not able to make solid headway here despite the incredible construction boom unless they actually produce machinery inside the target countries and accept local currency in payment. Indeed, Coca-Cola itself faced a shutdown not so long ago as its problems related to acquiring the needed FX to import necessary ingredients and expand operations (bottling and glass for example) drew to a near standstill.

This is in spite of the fact that African demand for drink products makes this region the fastest growth market on the planet at the moment. The problem was not resolved until the US supplier and investors direct funded a line of credit in dollars from home soil but they did so at some risk.

Once here, capital is often trapped inside the countries of destination as currently there is little hope to repatriate dividends owing to the lack of Dollars and Euros for conversion from local currencies. Investments must therefore be considered long term regional plays and so patience will be rewarded only as economic development slowly expands and exports to the rest of the world from Africa rise.

This is therefore a region where reinvestment of dividends and income is an expectation while the ultimate rewards and profits arising from business development are deferred to some unknown date in the future. That is obviously not everyone’s cup of tea.

But what is seen as a huge disincentive for some companies is being greeted as an incredible opportunity by others. Coke, undeterred, went ahead and announced plans for a massive expansion totalling half a billion dollars in a country (Ethiopia) where total 2012 GDP was a mere 44 billion dollars.

That is to say that one single company now has commitments in place exceeding one percent of the total economy! Now that is what I call a bold move. Just by way of comparison and to put this in context, the GDP of Washington DC is 94 billion dollars and it has a population in the range of 600,000 people compared to Ethiopia’s 85 million people and GDP below half that amount.

Meanwhile, the companies most invested in African markets are getting the red carpet treatment with a combination of multi-year tax holiday incentives, land discounts or grants, open access to markets and plenty of encouragement. Coke has, as an outcome of incredibly strong market growth, decided to establish a number of new bottling plants in Ethiopia that will also be directed to regional export markets. That idea has gone over very well with the government which saves its loudest applause for those who can bring production that brings the urgently needed FX.

You probably cannot make friends with local government in Africa faster than to show up and start making something to sell abroad. The Chinese and Indian’s have seized on the opportunity and they are being embraced with love. Growth areas are typically in traditional labour intensive work like textiles and shoes especially as high land costs and rising labour rates have driven some of the big producers off the Chinese mainland in search of cheaper markets to produce from.

Getting back to the point though…..dollars are still king over here. They are much sought after and the doomers who keep insisting the world has abandoned bucks don’t really know their tails from their heads where Africa is concerned. Dollars are indeed the defacto grease necessary for driving the economies and allowing economic expansion. Much more are needed and it is not clear how they will be acquired other than by exports and internal industrialization but one thing is becoming quite obvious…….

If the urgently needed dollars do start showing up here in sufficient amounts there is the potential for Africa’s billion plus people to begin playing a very significant role in driving growth around the world in the coming years. They NEED what the world is producing and the continent is a net buyer….they just don’t have the right currencies on hand to meet the current astronomical demands of development (yet).

My opinion is that once Africa’s real growth story is fully understood that the conditions might come into play to simultaneously drive global export markets while African nations begin slowing building capacity of thier own.

If only the dollars would come……..

Bird, your insights are much appreciated…very interesting. thank u as always

Occasionally I enjoy listening to a professional complainer, the number one cynic anywhere, who will say anything to keep your heart pumping; but just as is the case with a good comedian, there’s a lot of truth in what he says.

@AMARoadReports

A couple of really good comments in segment 4 from Axel and Rick:

Axel: “Policy makers are predictable” (I really LOVED that comment and it had a nice ring that we all need to keep in mind). A similar line of commentary might be the tested and true “Don’t fight the Fed”. The point is that we must always be cognizant of what the political class is telling us. They are very blunt. Does it really get easier than that?

Second……..Rick said: “Invest in what you understand”……a simple brilliant truth. Don’t stray into the unknown on expectation of large gains unless you have help and a savvy advisor. The big fish are experienced already and just waiting to eat the soft Guppies who show up without being announced. I will add a rejoinder to that if I can…..learn something new because if all you know is houses then you need to get out more often. See my earlier remarks on Africa or investing in Wine, Race cars and Fine Arts.

Keeping an open mind is really important now.

Reading everything that comes your way is just one of the methods to gaining insights into how the market is changing in front of our eyes. It certainly does pay to follow the leaders in the early stages and not get jaded by what you THINK you know when in fact something quite different is happening in the background.

Segment 4;

PS Cory. I don’t know if it is fair to say “DON’T day trade”. While I agree most lose in the effort it certainly does NOT mean everyone loses doing it. Day trading has worked well for many of my calls. I can only suggest you engage judiciously. EG….don’t do it every day!!!!!!

To Bill Howald: Very interesting comments regarding “quality versus quantity” memes arsing in the gold sector now. We should all appreciate that these early efforts of the miners to offer better upside for their shareholders can boomerang into stellar results some ways down the road when metals finally recover. Without knowing when the mining outfits will actually see bright lights at the end of the tunnel it should nonetheless give us confidence they are now setting up the conditions for a terrific bounce once the day finally comes and that they will be prepared to give investors what they really came for………….EG……….PROFITS!!!

And lots of them!

I think this is the most positive statement I’ve ever read from Venable:
“Gold shares making progress but likely still too early…here’s Barrick.”

If it all goes quiet from me from hereon you’ll know I’ve been blown away or maybe even ‘raptured’!!!

An excellent interview with Jim Rogers and Doug Casey on Investmentwatch today.

The disaster which is waiting to happen in the stock market is going to be frightening more to the rich and the powerful because unlike 1929 the foolish and unwary are no longer involved, they have been priced out as The Fed has kept this the market going for it’s rich friends. DT

Exploding art market is the beginning signs of the hyperinflation that will trickle down into our everyday goods..John Williams of shawdowstats predicts this going forward into 2014.Our loaf of bread could go from 4 to 50 to many multiples..Do you want to be caught holding the american dollars?
