ZERO HEDGE

Propaganda & Fear-Mongering Works. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. "When we see the results of polls like the one below, we realize there is no chance the majority will do anything to reverse the course of America's terminal decline. It will take a complete collapse and bloody reset before we have a chance at putting this country back on a sustainable rational course..."

Marc Faber: "The Only Way To Short Central Banks Is To Be Long Gold". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. "My belief is that the big surprise this year is that investor confidence in central banks collapses. And when that happens — I can’t short central banks, although I’d really like to, and the only way to short them is to go long gold, silver and platinum... that’s the only way. That’s something I will do."

Who Benefits When Bubbles Burst?. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. An astute reader recently posed an insightful question: we all know who benefits from asset bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate--owners of assets, banks, the government (all those luscious capital gains and rising property taxes), pension funds, brokers and so on. But who benefits from the inevitable collapse of these asset bubbles? If asset bubbles end badly for virtually every participant, then why does the system go to extremes to inflate them? This is an excellent question, as it goes right to the heart of our dysfunctional Status Quo.

The End Of The World Of Finance As We Know It. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. The world of investing as we’ve come to know it is over. Financial markets have been distorted to such an extent by the activities, the interventions, of central banks – and governments -, that they can no longer function, period. The difference between the past 6 years and today is that central banks can and will no longer prop up the illusionary world of finance. And that will cause an earthquake, a tsunami and a meteorite hit all in one. If oil can go down the way it has, and copper too, and iron ore, then so can stocks, and your pensions, and everything else.

Tempers Fray As Argentine Tampon Squeeze Extends To 20 Days. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. As Reuters reports, the country's 20.6 million women couldn't find their favorite tampons earlier this month - during the height of summer - "for 20 days, we simply couldn't source any tampons from wholesalers." The government vowed to keep the supply chain filled with tampons as media talk of a "run on tampons" stoked peoples' fears that Argentina is rapildy heading down the same socialist utopia track as its neighbor.  [THE SATIRE is good but empty meaning, just neocon propaganda]

27 Facts That Show How The Middle Class Has Fared Under 6 Years Of Barack Obama. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. During his State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening, Barack Obama is going to promise to make life better for middle class families.  Each January, he gets up there and tells us how the economy is “turning around” and to believe that much brighter days are right around the corner.  And yet things just continue to get even worse for the middle class.  The numbers that you are about to see will not be included in Obama’s State of the Union speech.  They don’t fit the “narrative” that Obama is trying to sell to the American people.  But all of these statistics are accurate.  They paint a picture of a middle class that is dying.

Ron Paul: If The Fed Has Nothing To Hide, It Has Nothing To Fear. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the dollar has lost over 97 percent of its purchasing power, the US economy has been subjected to a series of painful Federal Reserve-created recessions and depressions, and government has grown to dangerous levels thanks to the Fed’s policy of monetizing the debt. Yet the Federal Reserve still operates under a congressionally-created shroud of secrecy. No wonder almost 75 percent of the American public supports legislation to audit the Federal Reserve.

Christine Lagarde Calls For World To Embrace "New Multilateralism" Order In 2015. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. As 2015 begins, policymakers around the world are faced with three fundamental choices: to strive for economic growth or accept stagnation; to work to improve stability or risk succumbing to fragility; and to cooperate or go it alone. The stakes could not be higher; 2015 promises to be a make-or-break year for the global community. The new networks of influence should be embraced and given space in the twenty-first century architecture of global governance. This is what I have called the “new multilateralism.” [el brazo armado de NATO –armado de USD- hablo y no dijo nada Nuevo]

Russian Central Bank Bans Western Ratings Agencies. Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/19/2015. On the heels of last week's downgrades by Fitch and Moody's to just above junk status, The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) has issued a statement that it will no longer use credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, or Moody’s that were assigned after March 1, 2014. All credit ratings will now be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank as regulators assess whether or not the ratings made after March are accurate. Sounds like Spain, Greece, and USA's previous derision over ratings agencies proclamations is heading east.
