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 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. 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. Home foreclosures continue
to burn down wealth and savings here and abroad. 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
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.”--Economist warns of
double-dip recession By Robert Cookson and Sundeep Tucker in Hong Kong

I have published extensively on this problem for years 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] 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. 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.
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].
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,
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.
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
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 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. 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.

“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.
1. Abolition of property in land
and application of all rents of land to
public
purposes.
2. A heavy progressive
or graduated
income tax.
3. Abolition of all
rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation
of the property
of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of
credit in the banks of the state, by means of a
national
bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of
the means of communication and transport in he hands of
the state.

“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.”
