What has been expected for quite a while has now officially happened. The Federal Reserve stated that it would stop intervening on the market where it has been buying treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities like there was no tomorrow anymore. The program started at a rate of $45B per month but was upscaled rather fast to $85B per month before being gradually scaled back since the beginning of this year. The Fed’s balance sheet has expanded considerably as you can see on the next chart.    Continue reading “Newsflash: The Fed Isn’t Stopping QE!”

Capitalism is NOT Wall Street. In order to correctly comprehend the nature of the Free Enterprise system, one needs to understand the fundamentals of a business transaction. Real business requires that goods or services are purchased from a seller by a buyer, at a price that both agree upon. A tangible product, skilled service or intellectual property may qualify as an entity of substance. But when we closely examine the composition of equities, warrants, bonds, options, futures or derivatives; we enter a realm that falls outside the scope of normal business transactions.   Continue reading “Wall Street, Money and the Merchant Class”

The Federal Reserve has announced the end of Quantitative Easing 3. QE is an unconventional monetary policy in which a central bank purchases government securities or other securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase the money supply.

Zero Hedge reports that Quantitative Easing which by lowering interest rates and raising the asset values of bonds made the rich $9 trillion richer since 2009. Corporate managers can borrow money at near zero interest to buy their company stock. Buying their stock with borrowed money drives share prices higher. This makes them eligible for bonuses worth millions of dollars. It also allows them to unload their stock options at very high values. An example would be IBM’s “value creation”. Stock buybacks since 2012 $37.7 Billion. Debt issued since 2012 $33.6 Billion   Continue reading “Debts Beyond Reason, Bubbles And Debt Cancellation.”

Since the federal government announced its plan to place illegal immigrants in communities all across the United States weeks ago, Americans have been furious. It’s all part of President Obama’s plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.

It’s frustrating enough to hear that these immigrants are being placed all over the U.S. and supported by our government, but it’s even more upsetting when they’re being dumped in your town.   Continue reading “Powerful Senator Exposes the ZIP Codes of Where the Criminal Illegals Were Released”

This is what I said in the 6th edition of my book, Flood Your Body With Oxygen:

Msm and DMSO

Again we address more missing elements that should be in our diets. This time it’s natural sulfur. We’re 6% sulfur, and nobody has enough. I kept hearing about how in addition to its other properties MSM is a non-toxic natural sulfur-based oxygenator (liquid, granules, or creams) that users were reporting as extremely helpful.

According to successful users the whole key with MSM is to take it consistently (at least 6-8 months) at high enough dosages with vitamin C and possibly taken along with some DMSO. The most success we’ve seen is at 500 mg of MSM for every 30 pounds of body weight twice a day.   Continue reading “Sulphur and Oxygen Miracles”

Sent to me by a friend.

I have a little story I thought I would share with all of you. I recently relocated, bought a house and moved in the first weekend of July.

Since I have been in my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few of my neighbors who seem to be extremely nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors that I know. I sat down and counted. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was out in my yard. I also knew which houses they lived in.   Continue reading “Sometimes Mistakes Lead to Real Blessings”

Take a half of a teaspoon of baking soda with the juice of 1 lemon in a full glass of water in the morning before breakfast and eventually you will get all that candida out of the system. It really works wonders and you will be able to eat all you want unless of course you have problems with IBS or something of that nature.

Wading through all the chickensh*t over the last few days Netanyahu’s “grassy knoll” comeback somehow missed out on all the action, but what the hoot guys? Where I come from that terminology only means one thing, as far as I know, that applies to the lexicon anywhere in America, if not the world. Hey, even Google agrees with me. And what are the chances Netanyahu and/or his speechwriters don’t know this? Nada. Impossible.   Continue reading “Update: Why did Netanyahu respond to chickenshit with ‘grassy knoll’ remark?”

WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. government agreed to a police request to restrict more than 37 square miles of airspace surrounding Ferguson, Missouri, for 12 days in August for safety, but audio recordings show that local authorities privately acknowledged the purpose was to keep away news helicopters during violent street protests.

On Aug. 12, the morning after the Federal Aviation Administration imposed the first flight restriction, FAA air traffic managers struggled to redefine the flight ban to let commercial flights operate at nearby Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and police helicopters fly through the area – but ban others.   Continue reading “Ferguson no-fly zone aimed at media”

In fixing a limit for the amount of fossil fuels that can be burned if the world is to hold back climate change, a panel of scientists gathered by the UN set out with mathematical precision the choice facing policymakers.

The findings in a United Nations report released today suggest that the world can only consume a fraction of the known oil, natural gas and coal reserves if it’s to keep temperature increases from causing widespread droughts, more violent storms and melting of polar ice caps.   Continue reading “Fossil Fuel ‘Budgets’ Suggested to Curb Climate Change”

The move will affect both the Kerem Shalom and Erez border crossings, Haartez reported, quoting Israel’s defense establishment. The authorities have notified the Palestinians of the decision.   Continue reading “Gaza cut off: Israel closes border crossings indefinitely”
