Republicans: Liberals with a Conservative Twist
When can we do away with the absurd notion that Republicans stand for constitutionally limited government? Most don’t. And it becomes more and more clear every day. Oh, Republicans talk a good game. They quote founding fathers and blast Democrats for their belief in a living-breathing Constitution. But when it comes down it, the vast…
Yellen: How High Is Up?
"Yellen seems to be setting the table for continued monetization not industrialization. The Fed under Yellen, as under Bernanke, is concerned mainly with the 'monetary economy' because that benefits globalist strategies. A healthy 'normal' economy helps working class people. A monetized economy boosts stock markets, upscale real estate, high-end luxury goods, speculative investments, etc. From my point of view, this is no coincidence and it's one reason High Alert continues to present our 'Wall Street Party' meme. A slow economy awash in currency that is gradually trickled into stock and bond markets is an 'investor's' economy." Continue reading →
Yellen Concerned Fed Models Fail to Predict Price Moves
"Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is concerned that the standard models central banks use to forecast inflation may be broken. Behind her disquiet: the failure of the models to foresee the path of prices in the U.S. during the last recession and its aftermath and in Japan during its deflationary period from 1998 to 2012. U.S. inflation has been higher than the simulations suggested, while Japanese price declines proved more persistent. Yellen alluded to her concerns in a speech last week, saying the Fed has to 'watch carefully' to see if inflation picks up as the central bank projects -- and hopes -- during the next few years."

Doug French: The Market Is Rigged
"In the end, the controversy surrounding high-frequency trading is likely much ado about nothing. For one thing, the industry peaked five years ago, pulling in $5 billion in profits. In 2012, it pulled in $1 billion. That might sound like a lot, but JPMorgan Chase made $5 billion just last quarter. As far as influencing markets and costing the average person money, HFT doesn’t compare to the Fed’s quantitative easing and zero interest rate policy. A more sound currency, whether metallic or digital, would spread a healthier culture: one not so obsessed with speculation, wealth, material goods, and nanoseconds." Continue reading →
Bill Bonner: Here’s Proof That Wealthy Elites Control Washington
"We had no proof. Just an observation. But it looks to us as though government always begins and ends as a tool for those who control it. It is not the product of a 'social contract.' It is not an expression of the 'general will.' It is not the 'price we pay for civilization.' It is not 'captured by wealthy special interests.' On the contrary, it is as blunt and stupid as a crowbar. It is used by the elite to pry wealth, status and power away from everyone else. Few victims of the public school system believed us, but now cometh a study from Princeton and Northwestern universities proving we were right." Continue reading →
