The Collapse of the World Economy Continues Onward. The Left will Get Your Money One Way or Another

The Collapse of the World Economy Continues Onward. The Left will Get Your Money One Way or Another

 

Abstract: We have allowed cheap credit world wide to expand debt beyond belief or our ability to pay it off. There is no recourse available but for the rabid left to seize the wealth of other citizens using any stratagem or political action they can devise. This will cause depression, famine and probably war but they have no other remedy. The left and their victims cannot compete in our capitalist world because of crime, sloth and their outlook and are reacting as expected by trying to suppress business and institute confiscatory taxes and nationalize businesses world wide. The world economies are sinking in debt and we cannot recover with either future robust growth or massive taxes or both.  Confiscation of the remaining wealth is mandatory for the left so expect that your property, 401(k)s and bonds will be taking a haircut soon. This place will be like the USSR soon. Healthcare is the place they will begin to extract wealth from us.

 

Debt is the problem—massive debt

 

There is a major problem[1] with the world economies at this moment and little future opportunities to correct major problems with the astronomical debt levels according to the respected economic analyst Ambrose Evans-Prichard of the Telegraph, London. Subprime mortgages are becoming even more toxic as time passes with even the AAA mortgages of 2007 falling to 28 cents on the dollar and AA at only 4 cents.[2] Equity lost by homeowners is capital lost almost forever with now nearly 8% of all FHA loans in default and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac having an unknown pile of hollow mortgages probably in the region of 3-5 trillion dollars.[3] Home foreclosures continue to burn down wealth and savings here and abroad.[4] Each trillion dollars in debt is $16,000 to the mere 60 million who pay federal taxes.

 

The ‘fix’ so far is for colossal intervention in banking (acceptable and necessary to a point) and in manufacturing (a big mistake) for all major nations as they to attempt to restore the local economies to some financial order and maintain jobs. The mentality seems to be to tax the affluent when growth is strong and times are good and then to tax and print money to take care of debt for the low classes.  That is what the phony TARP program was supposed to do.  TARP funds went to the banks to prevent a collapse of our financial system instead. The chief difficulty with this plan, ostensibly to avoid a depression, which actually automatically corrects market imbalances and may be preferable to what we are seeing, is the money   is wildly printed and then highly taxed. This is some effort to ‘fix’ the problem that may just ignite another bubble in the future.  We have a debt-driven deflationary spiral just ending and we are addressing this problem with more debt? They are treating a debt-driven deflationary spiral[5] with more debt and that solution is novel in itself.  The current debt levels cannot be sustained and printing money is not an option to economic recovery—it would be even worse than a depression if hyperinflation launches off.

 

Here is an analysis by one of the most respected experts in international finance, Mr. William White:

 

Highly-respected former chief economist at the Bank for International Settlements, also warned that government actions to help the economy in the short run may be sowing the seeds for future crises.”

 

William White, the highly-respected former chief economist at the Bank for International Settlements, also warned that government actions to help the economy in the short run may be sowing the seeds for future crises.” [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

 

“Are we going into a W [-shaped recession]? Almost certainly. Are we going into an L? I would not be in the slightest bit surprised,” he said, referring to the risks of a so-called double-dip recession or a protracted stagnation like Japan suffered in the 1990s.”

 

“Worldwide, central banks have pumped thousands of billions of dollars of new money into the financial system over the past two years in an effort to prevent a depression. Meanwhile, governments have gone to similar extremes, taking on vast sums of debt to prop up industries from banking to car making.[6]--Economist warns of double-dip recession By Robert Cookson and Sundeep Tucker in Hong Kong Published: September 14 2009 15:01 | Last updated: September 14 2009 15:01

 

I have published extensively on this problem[7][8][9][10][11] for years[12] and cannot see an escape mechanism for the massive debt we have attained from low interest rates and phony credit programs like ‘affordable housing’ and the unworkable and dangerous laws like CRA [the phony Community Reinvestment Act][13][14] and the socialist emphasis on of Greenlining[15] that provided many illegal aliens with the unearned gift to have subprime mortgages for their votes. We are now broke. The quest for taxable wealth in now on.

 

My general theory on this is that the frenetic leftist quest for wealth is based on the very sound historical and economic principles that many cultures and their political organizations cannot compete in this world in education and business and investing and must tax others for their existence. They are losers and cannot participate. There are numerous examples of this such as much of Europe, all of Africa, most of South American and the most glaring case is California.[16][17][18][19]  Here, the spending is out of control and the quest for more taxes and the repeal of the famous Prop 13 is a cause célèbre for the left. The obvious conclusion from their spending is frantic wealth transfers to their constituents from others and they care not what happens if the system crashes in a depression. They will not be worse off. They can always find ways to ‘tax’ the ‘rich’ and bring ‘justice’ to society. The general political philosophy is California is perverted and warped morally, ethically, financially and socially. [20] They now feverishly plot to grow dope and tax it at 30% to pay for their egalitarianism and other follies. There is no solution to this mentality as they will not moderate spending no matter what. Here, in satire is what I think they believe [see ref].[21] They insist on nationalizing healthcare and forcing Americans to participate under the dire threat of penalty. I happen to think that they will push for a 100% inheritance tax, following their beloved Communist Manifesto[22], and then withhold healthcare [read rationing and early death of the old] and then seize the wealth of the older Americans. That is where the wealth lies [old white folks] and they can only print so much money until inflation destroys our currency and all that is left is the tangible assets that can be taxed using a Death T ax.[23]

 

To add to the inefficiency of government meddling, red tape and phony taxes to support crime and impress illegal aliens we add the additional burden of EcoNazism[24] whereby we are supposedly in mortal danger of dying from either boiling oceans or some green house effect caused carbon dioxide.  People like the criminal Al Gore [the New Lysenko[25]] or The Idiot English Princeling of Wails[26] have conjured up a tax scheme that will become the largest world-wide tax ever in the universe.  All this is based on lies as even the so-called ‘studies’ by some ‘scientists’ who predicted the earth’s temperature would continue to rise and now it falls.[27] The political parasites who direct this process have no shame or self respect as they were flat wrong and cannot admit the truth. This is just a crude attempt to scare people and grunt and grab their wealth by taxation. This is not science—it is a blend of sleaze and politics.

 

Details of the Debt:

 

You can peruse this chart below and see if any of this data presented are unreasonable. If only half of this is true then we are clearly busted and the hysterical quest for our money and wealth by the left will begin soon. They have no problems with crime, sloth, sodomy and assorted perversions but they do have major problems white people having wealth that they cannot grab.

[1] The 48 hours that killed Lehman and AIG – and would have killed Merrill, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs within a week if Washington had not stepped in – merely brought to a head the inevitable exhaustion of a global order in which the West chokes debt, and the East chokes on export capacity.[1]--Lehman is a footnote in the great East-West globalisation crisis 12 Sep 2009 [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.] http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/6179033/Lehman-is-a-footnote-in-the-great-East-West-globalisation-crisis.html

 

[2] As of last week, the ABX index of sub-prime mortgage debt showed that AAA-rated securities from early 2007 were trading at 28 cents on the dollar – AA was at 4 cents, near all-time lows. No one can say that $2 trillion (£1.2 trillion) of sub-prime and Alt-A debt is still trading at panic levels, exaggerating losses. The dust has settled. What we can see is that creditors will never recoup their money.”--Lehman is a footnote in the great East-West globalisation crisis 12 Sep 2009 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/6179033/Lehman-is-a-footnote-in-the-great-East-West-globalisation-crisis.html

 

[3] The housing crash has tipped 15m US home owners into negative equity. A third of sub-prime mortgages are in default. Some 7.8pc of all loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration are in foreclosure or 90 days in arrears. This is why the US Treasury had to seize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the $5.3 trillion pillars of US housing. It is not a liquidity crisis. It is a bankruptcy crisis.”--Lehman is a footnote in the great East-West globalisation crisis 12 Sep 2009 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/6179033/Lehman-is-a-footnote-in-the-great-East-West-globalisation-crisis.html

 

[4] Foreclosures reached 358,000 in August alone. More Americans are being evicted each month than during the entire Depression year of 1932. This is not to pick on America. Variants of the bubble occurred across the Anglosphere, Scandinavia, Holland, Club Med, and east Europe. Defaults will hit with a lag in Europe, but hit they will. The IMF expects global banks to lose $2.5 trillion by next year. So far they have confessed to $1 trillion.”--Lehman is a footnote in the great East-West globalisation crisis 12 Sep 2009 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/6179033/Lehman-is-a-footnote-in-the-great-East-West-globalisation-crisis.html

[12] Conan Deals with the Barbarians: California on the Financial Rocks, as Predicted.

[13]Bear Stearns made the first public securitization of Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) loans started in 1997.[6] Editorialists in some American newspapers[7][8] and US Congressman Ron Paul[9] say the CRA loans were lent to otherwise un-credit-worthy consumers in the name of ending discrimination, although an analysis of actual lending patterns does not generally support this conclusion.[10][11][12]

On June 22, 2007, Bear Stearns pledged a collateralized loan of up to $3.2 billion to "bail out" one of its funds, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Fund, while negotiating with other banks to loan money against collateral to another fund, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Enhanced Leveraged Fund.[13] The funds were invested in thinly traded collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) found to be worth less than their mark-to-market value. Merrill Lynch seized $850 million worth of the underlying collateral but only was able to auction $100 million of them. The incident sparked concern of contagion as Bear Stearns might be forced to liquidate its CDOs, prompting a mark-down of similar assets in other portfolios.[14][15] Richard A. Marin, a senior executive at Bear Stearns Asset Management responsible for the two hedge funds, was replaced on June 29 by Jeffrey B. Lane, a former Vice Chairman of rival investment bank, Lehman Brothers.[16]

During the week of July 16, 2007, Bear Stearns disclosed that the two subprime hedge funds had lost nearly all of their value amid a rapid decline in the market for subprime mortgages.

[27]Now there is word that all four major global temperature tracking outlets have released data showing that temperatures have dropped significantly over the last year. California meteorologist Anthony Watts says the amount of cooling ranges from 65-hundredths of a degree Centigrade to 75-hundreds of a degree.”[27] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]

[28] This is projected out to about 2050. If it is only 1/5 of this sum then we are terminal in financial terms.
