Greece’s 2013 Budget Is A Total Disaster
http://www.businessinsider.com

The Greece 2013 budget, that has to be approved by their leaders does the following…
1. Increases the Debt-to-GDP to 189.1%
2. Create a budget deficit of 5.2% of GDP.
3. Result in their GDP contracting 4.5%
The people who came up with this budget obviouslywould fail a urine drug test folks.

Euro-zone Unemployment at 11.6%
http://www.telegraph.co.uk

With the addition of 169,000 for a total of 25.8 million, unemployment for the 27 member Euro-zone reached another record at 11.6% last month as the financial crisis continues to take its toll.   The lowest unemployment rates were in Austria and Luxembourg at 4.4 and 5.2% respectfully.   The highest unemployment rates were in Spain and Greece at 25.8 and 25.1% respectfully.   If we had honest figures, the US would probably be in the same neighborhood.

Bribes Using “Gold cards” in China
http://www.sovereignman.com

In cases where some Chinese, who want to hide their wealth, have to bribe officials in Hong Kong, instead of using cash or electronic transfers, they simply set up a meeting and hand the official one, or more, gold cards that are made of physical gold.   You see it all the time in business, where business cards are handed around.   Gives a whole new meaning to having a gold card.   Perhaps, there will be silver cards soon.

The Possible Black Swan For Skyrocketing Gold
http://kingworldnews.com

Just imagine if a credible whistle-blower, from the Bundesbank, came out and said that the German gold is gone.   In fact, the German gold audit could easily spark others and make the situation more interesting.   Also, it is very likely that 227.7 million ounces, or 87%, from the US gold reserves, were sold into the market to keep the gold price in check.   The idea that Central Banks do not have the gold they claim they have would unleash pure pandemonium in the gold, and soon later, the silver market because people would realize there is no physical backing paper.   With that said, after preparing, keep stacking physical.

$250 Million Grant Creates 400 Jobs
http://www.washingtontimes.com

Battery maker A123 Systems received about $250 million to create thousands of new jobs in late 2009.   Since 2009, this now bankrupt energy business pushed by Obama, created only 408 positions.   This is about $300,000 per job.   Officials state that the grant was used for manufacturing equipment which now sits idle.   Pretty much like Obama when he is not on the golf course.

Got Grandma?
http://www.cnbc.com

More grandparents, parents and kids are living together under the same roof, driven to cohabitate because of the economy. More than 4.3 million, or 5.6 percent, of the 76 million family households in the U.S. today are multigenerational households.    Among the states, Hawaii, at 11%, had the highest percentage with North Dakota having the lowest at 2%.   How long before families have multigenerational beds?

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.    Good Day!

Mexico Bans Large Cash Transactions
http://www.thedailybell.com

Mexico has joined other nations on the war on cash. In about 90 days, cash transaction over half million pesos, or about $39,000, will be illegal.   Violation of this law caries a penalty of five years in prison and Mexican prisons are not the country club like prisons in the US.

Is Euro Zone Really Back ‘On Track’?
http://www.cnbc.com

French President Hollande seems to think that the euro zone is “on track” to solving its crisis during yet another summit.   Greece on fire, Spain and Italy in fiscal turmoil and Germany being asked to bail out everyone.   Yes, the EU is back on track; however, the track leads right over the fiscal cliff.

The Political Black Swan
http://www.zerohedge.com

Just imagine a Bush vs. Gore tie fiasco coming at the same time as a major fiscal cliff.   Things are gearing up for such a scenario in this election where the political wheels will be frozen solid as people fight for the position of head puppet.   On top of that, add the tax increases and the mandatory government spending cuts and one can easily imagine absolute chaos.

American Savings
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com

A recent survey finds that 40% of Americans have less than $500 in savings.   Not all respondents were poor. In fact, some had big houses, big mortgages or 401(k)s; however, they did not have five Benjamin’s to rub together right now.   One should have an emergency fund set aside to address unforeseen circumstances and $500 just does not cut it.   Of course, loss of jobs due to lack of demand is not unforeseen.

Problem is Demand
http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.ca

First IBM, then Intel, and now Google.   The quarterly statements from these three, and others, are showing that this economy, despite the BS put forth by the mainstream media and politicians, is beginning to grind to a halt.   The only real counterbalance to this negative economic activity is the the fact that the FED is printing money out of thin air.   And that will only last so long before the whole house of cards crashes down.

Congress Orders FEMA to Plan for Mass Fatalities
http://www.naturalnews.com

HR 6566 would amend the Homeland Security Act to mandate that FEMA immediately begin conducting “mass fatality planning” in preparation for a major event or series of events that may kill off untold numbers of people. The bill would set up a FEMA dictator with the power to control how local communities, private businesses, nonprofit organizations, religious organizations, and even individuals prepare for and respond to a mass fatality event.    What do they know folks?

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.    Good Day!

Greece Poised to Leave Euro
http://www.telegraph.co.uk

Here we go again…   Greece could leave the euro-zone within the next six months as Greece is in its fifth year of recession.    If Greece does leave the euro-zone, many will receive a massive haircut on the loans made to Greece.    In addition,, hopefully, the Greeks will look at Iceland as the model to follow.    They certainly have the natural resources to make a comeback very quickly on their own.

China’s Yuan Hits Record High
http://www.france24.com

At nearly 6.26 to $1.0, China’s currency hit a record high against the US dollar.    This marks the highest level since 1994 when China launched its modern foreign exchange market. So, what does this mean?    Expect higher prices at Wal-Mart.  Or maybe, they believe Romney, who has been bashing the Chinese for not floating the Yuan, will win and want to get on his good side?

Budget Gap Tops $1 Trillion Again
http://finance.yahoo.com

For the 4th straight year, the US has successfully spent more than a trillion dollars more than the government brought in.    The gap between the government’s tax revenue and its spending totaled $1.1 trillion.    Tax revenue rose 6.4 percent from 2011 to $2.45 trillion.    And spending fell 1.7 percent to $3.5 trillion.    Needless to say, with an aging population and a weak economy, things do not look better for next year’s budget either.

Yellow Alert
http://kingworldnews.com

Art Cashin believes that there are some eerie parallels to today versus the Wiemar Germany era.    He goes on to say that there are a variety of things in place that could begin to react somewhat domino-like and cause a frightening hyper-inflationary event.     He says to keep an eye on the M2 figure and watch the velocity of money very carefully.

Executive Order Allows Seizure of Americans’ Bank Accounts
http://www.thenewamerican.com

The latest executive order, by Obama, claims the power to freeze all bank accounts and stop any related financial transactions that a “sanctioned person” may own or try to perform — all in the name of “Iran Sanctions.”   The order says that if an individual is declared to be a “sanctioned person,” their financial resources will have successfully been completely frozen.    So, would a “sanctioned person” be someone whom they do not like?

New $100 Bills Stolen
http://money.cnn.com

Federal authorities are not saying how much; however, it appears that a large amount of the newly-designed $100 bills, bound for the Federal Express err…    Reserve in New Jersey were stolen.    Of course, it is no real secret that many in government want to get rid of cash all together, and the loss of so many not-released $100 dollar bills, that were to go public in 2013, will only add fuel to that fire.    Needless to say, this sounds like an inside job; however, this is the same government that lost pallets of $100 bills in Iraq.

Text Against Terror Fails
http://www.judicialwatch.org

Funded with $5.8 million dollars, a New Jersey experiment to turn citizen into snitches has meet with absolute failure.   The program was designed for the public to text messages, with their cellular phones, if they saw a possible terror threat.   Of course, the only real terror for Americans are from the Department of Homeland Insecurity and the government.

Social Security
http://www.foxnews.com

Nothing speaks more to the fraud that is the CPI than the fact that Social Security will only go up between 1 to 2% this year.   This is the lowest increase since 1975.    If anyone believes this is the real inflation…     Stop drinking the Kool-aid.

Finally, please prepare now for the escalating economic and social unrest.    Good Day!
