- CHART OF THE DAY: Global Food Prices About To Break An
All Time High
- Gregory White | Dec. 1, 2010
-
- Inflation in emerging markets is hitting food prices
hard, and now we have raw data from the UN to confirm.
-
- The latest report from the UN Food and Agricultural Organization
shows prices are back at 2008 levels, and have increased for five months
in a row.
-
- The data evaluates 55 different food commodities, so
it's a pretty broad gauge of world costs.
- Whether or not costs are high enough yet to lead to a
world food crisis remains to be seen, but further inflationary pressures
on emerging markets, where there are the most mouths to feed, will remain
a threat.

 Is Capitalism Dead?

- Wednesday, December 08, 2010 by Staff Report

- As the recession grinds on, politicians in most industrial
countries have an incentive to make exaggerated claims about the supposed
coming economic recovery. Some say the recession is over. Obama is in the
group that claims we're on "the road to recovery," while other
nations can only spot recovery "on the horizon." Below are seven
important social phenomena that point to a more realistic economic and
political outlook. Tehran Times

- Dominant Social Theme: In this case, none. Tehran Times,
an "international" newspaper tells the truth more succinctly
than major Western media.
-
- Free-Market Analysis: Is there a recovery? Do you feel
it, dear reader? Deep down in 'dem bones? We don't. We've explained the
reasons why in dozens of articles: The fiat meltdown of 2008 was a meltdown
of MONEY caused by the Internet's ability to expose the truth of a fraudulent
central banking controlled monetary system and the power elite who benefit
from the process of wealth redistribution. It was not caused by "faulty"
economies specifically. It is the system itself that collapsed and at the
base of it all is the myth of the mighty US dollar. When Goldman Sachs,
(as just revealed recently in Federal Reserve info about where US$3 trillion
went in 2008 disbursements) needs billions on a regular basis to sustain
itself, you've got a SYSTEMIC problem, not one having to do with sour investments.

- U.S. tax deal squeezes potential home buyers
-
- REUTERS - 10:03 PM ET 12/08/10
- By Al Yoon and Daniel Trotta
- NEW YORK (Reuters) - For Kathryn Confer, refinancing
the mortgage on her home in Erie, Pennsylvania, became a race against time
-- first because she was drowning under a 10.5 percent interest rate and
then because of the U.S. Congress.
-
- Confer wanted to avoid the unintended consequences of
the political compromise struck by President Barack Obama and congressional
Republicans to extend lower tax rates to all Americans, including high
earners.
-
- Yields in the U.S. Treasury bond market spiked on Wednesday
as investors worried the deal would inflate further the ballooning U.S.
deficit, pushing mortgage rates upward just as the U.S. housing market
was showing some signs of recovery.
-
- Confer, 57 and coming off a divorce, closed on her refinanced
mortgage last week at 4.5 percent, which she said was just in time.
-
- "I was panicking. I was scared to death. ... I knew
they (rates) were going up. They had to be going up because of everything
that was going on in Congress," Confer said.

- The U.S. housing market -- reeling from the economy's
worst downturn since the 1930s -- is struggling to... https://news.fidelity.com/news/news.jhtml?cat=Top.Investing.RT&articleid

- Bruno's latest includes several excellent charts
displaying inverse proportional relationships between stocks and commodities
versus the BDI. This oddity, as he argues below, signals beginning HYPERINFLATION,
mostly in the US.

- Baltic Dry Index (BDI) -6 2173

- Bruno writes:
- ... while there is growing need for materials in places
like China, this is certainly not at all the driving force behind the explosion
in prices. A good way to gauge this is by examining the BDI (Baltic Dry
Index).
- The BDI measures the cost of shipping raw materials across
the ocean as well as the amount of goods being shipped. It is one of the
few economic indicators that cannot be manipulated by international banks
or governments. A dramatic drop in the BDI shows a sharp decrease in demand
for global shipping and thus reveals a slowdown in the overall economy.
This is exactly what occurred at the beginning of the credit crisis in
2007-2008. However, the BDI can also be measured in comparison with the
values of stocks and commodities. Under normal conditions of supply and
demand, if the BDI were to drop (or deflate), then the value of most stocks
and goods should also drop. This has not been the case, as the below graphs
illustrate:
-

-
- Now, there have been small deviations in the past between
stocks and commodities versus the BDI, but usually it is the BDI which
leads the deviation, and not the commodities. As the final year of every
graph shows, there has been a significant decoupling of the price of stocks
and goods when compared with the amount of shipping of those goods. To
put it simply; demand is low, all over the world, yet prices continue to
climb skyward at an incredible pace.

- Much of the fiat the Fed throws out is going into foreign
entities, we have not seen effects as pronounced as they would be if all
that cash was flowing into our local markets.

- Eastman,
-
- As soon as you have your social credit money set up,
let me know.
- First, check to see if I'm still alive. If you die
first, plan to have someone else contact me, and I may pay them with an
ounce of silver, if it isn't up to a million dollars by that time. I do
appreciate your efforts to straighten out the money system, but right now,
silver is more do-able, for the reasons I already mentioned to you while
you were still giving me the time of day.
-
- It's alright . . . usually when people ignore me, it
means they know I'm right, and they have nothing else to say. Being right
is a lonely occupation. Larry

- You really don't want them to do that.
-
- They build up our debt levels, which must always result
in deflation since more always is paid back than is borrowed, and withdrew
the money from the domestic economy, holding it outside the US. The domestic
deflation caused a depression which resulted in foreclosures. Gasoline
and agribusiness prices were raised by monopoly power to worsen the burden
on borrowers, forcing them into the red. Then when our houses were taken
from us gone, a congress and president owned by the Money Power, arranged
for the Moneyed Aristocracy to be given more than $3 trillion dollars,
in addition to their hoarding of interest earnings and their sales of gold
to the very misinformed -- giving them the economic power to conquer the
United States by buying it.

- That is my contention. Do you believe me or not? Are
you willing to declare yourself in this conflict or not? You let them
get away with the 9-11 false-flag mass-murder to put us at war. Do not
stand idly by while they sell your family and friends into slavery.
