A good part of money and credit injections have been into world stock markets

G-20 members that are flooding the markets with money and credit think they are doing a great thing saving us

Dodge the Coming Inflation Bubble

What do you do after you have zero interest rates and you have flooded the world with money and credit? The answer is you attempt to fight off higher interest rates and see if you can dodge the inflation bubble that follows. The commitment for this current fiasco to save the world’s Illuminist banks has already caused an official debt responsibility for the US of more than $23 trillion of about 40% of world GDP. That is staggering and it is official. We wonder what the real figure is? It is also wise to remember that the Federal Reserve, and other reserve banks worldwide, all international, are responsible for the carnage we are witnessing.

The public is now paying for their gambling and corruption as central banks, who started this scam, transfer the debt to the taxpayers by buying up toxic garbage, guaranteeing losses and making sure none of the key Illuminist banks don’t go under. The Fed, privately owned, won’t let us look at their books, so we can tell what they are paying for these almost worthless assets. We are told it is a state secret.

There have been some salutary affects, but they are only transitory. As we can see the pace of job losses has slowed and will slow over the next year in anticipation of elections. About 80% of the stimulus package hits before the next election. There will be a slight increase in production and some inventory building. The real question is what will the Fed, government, Wall Street and banking due for an encore? They will most likely demand another stimulus package of some $2 trillion; keep zero interest rates and perhaps go to negative rates and continue to increase M3, money and credit, by 14%. That will neutralize the undertow of deflation and cause higher inflation. This game could last for a few more years, but one thing is for sure, many more are discovering what the game is and they are flocking to gold and silver in a flight to quality to preserve their wealth. If you have any doubts our Treasury Secretary, Mr. Geither, has recently told us the same plan of easing is in effect. The manipulation and losses in fixed assets will continue. The underlying deflation will not go away. The remedy more money and credit and low interest rates will prevail. The manipulation of markets will continue; world monetization is going on full bore not only in the US but in the UK, China, Japan and many other countries as well. They are all working together to bring down the world financial system when it pleases them to institute world government.

After publishing unique precious metals commentary on the Internet since 1996, I have decided to offer a subscription service which can be found above in the box next to my exclusive King World News weekly interview. The main reason for the change is that I felt somewhat restricted by my weekly format. It is my intention to publish some commentary at least twice a week.

The commentary will include detailed analysis of the Commitment of Traders Report, regulatory developments, supply/demand considerations, and topics of interest to investors in precious metals, with an emphasis on silver. Subscribers will also be able to ask questions.

The service is intended to be source of market information for serious observers of the silver and gold markets, delivered in a no-nonsense manner. No bells and whistles, just unique and valuable content. Always outside the box.

Please note - this is not intended as investment advice and I am not an investment advisor. The service is solely for informational purposes

Gold above $1023 an ounce as the dollar plunges

Gold futures rally above $1,023/oz as dollar weakens


By Polya Lesova, MarketWatch

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures rallied above $1,023 an ounce on Wednesday, as the U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies, boosting the appeal of the precious metal.

Gold for December delivery rose to an intraday high of $1,023.30 an ounce in electronic trading on Globex.

The contract was recently up $12, or 1.2%, to $1,018.30 an ounce. December gold is not the front-month contract, but it's the most actively traded contract.

The record intraday price for a front-month gold contract is $1,033.90 an ounce set on March 17, 2008.

"The catalyst for the rally was the weak dollar," wrote analysts at Commerzbank in a note to clients.

The proximity of the all-time high "is increasingly attracting investors to the gold market, reflected in the sharp rise of speculative net-long positions and the recent inflows into the gold ETFs," they said.

Wednesday's U.S. inflation data could provide further support, they added.

Economic data due Wednesday includes August consumer prices at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, and industrial production at 9:15 a.m., along with the NAHB housing market survey for September at 1 p.m.

U.S. stock futures were pointing to a higher start on Wednesday with a focus on the economy after upbeat talk from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

Other precious metals also gained, with December silver futures rising 1.9%.
