As I have said in the past, increased complexity equals collapse. There are just some things the mind has trouble grasping. Monetary engineers have built a house of cards that can only remain standing by the Fed’s willingness to provide the glue: taxpayer dollars. The excuse of “greater good” always demands the question: Who does the action benefit?
In Scripture, “666” is first used in describing gold given to Solomon whereas its last use describes “the beast” in Revelations.
1Ki 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six
Goldman Sachs’ name keeps coming up as being complicit in the ‘Cataclysmic Financial Crisis’ of 2008-2009 where taxpayer money is used to bail out the current financial system at the same time a multitude of players profit from those actions. This must be the “Greater Good” group. See: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=a7T5HaOgYHpE
When the apathetic and lethargic taxpayer finally wakes from his slumber, we may see a whole new set of faces in power. I expect volatility in commodities, especially gold and silver, as the Fed attempts to implement its strategy to exit the quantitative easing in the markets. If they fail to execute a perfect exit, the markets could seize up again and it could really get ugly out there when the glue is removed. The Chinese are expecting the Fed to protect the value of the dollar and their trillion dollar plus investment and the market is expecting the Fed to devalue the dollar to protect the Domestic Liabilities economic structure including the bond market. This appears to be a no-win situation.
