ARE WE THERE YET?

We don’t know EXACTLY what is to come, but we can joint the dots from where we are now to the collapse of the first major bank…

  • With very limited room for government bailouts, we can very easily join the next dots from the first bank closure to the collapse of the whole European banking system, and then to the bankruptcy of the governments themselves.
  • There are almost no brakes in the system to stop this, and almost no one realises the seriousness of the situation.
  • The problem is not government debt per se. The real problem is that the $70 trillion in G10 debt is the collateral for $700 trillion in derivatives…
  • Yes, that equates to 1200% of Global GDP and it rests on very, very weak foundations
  • From an EU crisis, we only have to join one dot for a UK crisis of equal magnitude.
  • And then do you think Japan and China would not be next?
  • And then do you think the US would survive unscathed?
  • That is the end of the fractional reserve banking system and of fiat money.

There is no way out, as shown HERE.

The Department of Homeland Security has begun a new program to counsel local police departments on how to buy and use armored vehicles, military helicopters, tanks, humvees, body armor, sniper rifles and even UNMANNED DRONES.

Does anyone actually believe it’s a good idea to use weaponized military vehicles for civilian “surveillance”? Is this really the direction in which we are headed?

Meanwhile…

It’s o.k., they’re the good guys.”

According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office the $300,000 ShadowHawk drone, purchased from Vanguard Defense Industries, will take to the skies in the coming months to provide another tool in their law-enforcement arsenal.

Outside the Anaheim Police Department today.

Don’t worry…more “good guys”.

Aerial ‘Shadowhawk’ Police Drones can now deploy tasers & tear gas.

The Cost Of Government Regulation: $1.75 Trillion

Richard Mourdock, GOP candidate for Senator, says government overregulation is CRIPPLING major sectors of our economy, from energy to health care.

Bill Buckler, author of The Privateer, agrees with Richard Mourdock. In an article for Zerohedge, a website credited with bringing the controversial practice of flash trading to public attention in 2009, Buckler writes that the cost of government regulation is a staggering $1.75 TRILLION per year!

The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a small “think tank” in Washington
DC, puts out an annual report called: Ten Thousand Commandments” The report deals with the regulatory agencies of the US federal government and
the cost of the regulations they continually introduce – and enforce. This
report would be typical of the regulatory function of pretty well every
government in the world.

In their Ten Thousand Commandments 2012 report which was released in June, the CEI estimates the cost of US government regulation at $US 1.75 TRILLION. That is just under half (48 percent) of the budget of the federal government. It is almost ten times the total of all corporate taxes collected and almost double the total collected from individual income taxes. It is also one-third higher than the total of all pre-tax corporate profits. It is the hidden cost of doing business in an interventionist economy.

The fact that the cost of complying with these regulations is substantially higher than the total of corporate profits is a stark illustration of the end result of economic intervention. That end result is CAPITAL CONSUMPTION.

“Ten Thousand Commandments”  is a MUST read.
