Governor Calls For Constitutional Convention To "Wrest Power From A
Federal Government Run Amok".
[ YES, WE NEED A NEW CONSTITUTION, and not only to make justice to the ranchers of Oregon (Why the Gov give land to rich corporations exploring gas with frackings that create severe damage to the environment and not give land and protection to the ranchers whose agro business do favor the nation?). WE NEED A NEW CONSTITUTION TO RE-INSTALL THE GLASS STEGALL ACT to limit the power of big bankers & financial corporation that are creating explosive inequality. The type of business they do is called financialization and its impact in macro & micro economy is very negative. It destroy the essence of productive capitalism (manufacture & agro-business are been abandoned) while predatory speculation is rewarded with tons of money (QEs) created from the thin air that aggravates our debt. This system promote vulture capitalism, frauds and misappropriation of foreign resources via predatory investment and manipulation of sovereign debt in emerging economies. WE NEED A NEW CONSTITUTION TO RESTORE THE GLASS-STEAGAL ACT and put down this corrupted & predatory system known as neoliberalism. The money given to bankers and financial speculators (bail outs) are not returned and much less invested to alleviate unemployment nor compensate fairly the salaries of our working classes. This system is obsolete and is the reason why we are going to a huge depression similar to the one in 1930. WE NEED A NEW COSTITUTION TO REFORM THE CURRENT POLITICAL SYSTEM that has been corrupted, degraded & distorted by those involved in the business of “financialization” and their secret “super-packs” .. Our democracy has been dismantled by bankers & financial speculators .. we urgently need a NEW CONSTITUTION TO RE-BUILD OUR NATION.]

Empires (Like the U.S.) Fall When
Corruption Becomes Rampant. by:
George Washington . : 01/08/2016
..
Brief extract:
..
Bastiat showed that corruption at the top leads to lawlessness
among the people.
As we've exhaustively documented, corruption is rampant in the the
U.S. today.
..
In addition,
widespread corruption leads to runaway inequality. Specifically, one of the
biggest causes of runaway inequality is that the big banks are manipulating every market, and committing massive crimes. Fraud disproportionately benefits the big banks, makes
boom-bust cycles more severe, and otherwise harms the economy … all of which increase inequality and warp the market. These actions
artificially redistribute wealth from honest, hard-working people to a handful
of crooks. And corrupt government officials have aided and abetted this.
..
Runaway inequality -
in turn - leads to the fall of empires ... through unrest or revolution.
Indeed, inequality
was one of the main reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire … and inequality
in America is much worse
than in Ancient Rome.
In fact, inequality in America today is twice as bad as in ancient Rome , worse than it was in in Tsarist
Russia, Gilded Age America, modern Egypt, Tunisia
or Yemen, many banana republics in Latin America, and worse than experienced by
slaves in 1774 colonial America.
..
Institutional
corruption is also leading to a lack of trust ... which is collapsing the economy.
Indeed, the U.S.A. is
following the pattern of ALL past empires as they declined:
..
- They financialize their economy ... going from manufacturing to speculation
- They incur very high levels of debt
- They overreach in costly military adventures
- They become arrogant and lazy
- They collapse soon after their peak
No wonder the
American Empire is starting to collapse ...

Gold
In 2016: "Economic Power Is Shifting". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/09/2016: An unseen bubble
at the heart of the financial system is deflating with unknown consequences. When
bubbles deflate, and here we are talking about one in the hundreds of
trillions, bad debts are usually exposed. Even though much of the reduction in
outstanding OTC derivatives is due to consolidation of positions following the
Frank Dodd Act, much of it is not. When free markets reassert themselves, and
they always do, the disruption promises to be substantial. We appear to
be in the early stages of this event. If so, demand for physical gold can be
expected to escalate rapidly as a financial crisis unfolds.

Durden on 01/09/2016: "After suffering the worst start to a new
year in history, the U.S. stock market has entered correction territory which
is defined by a drop of 10% from its old high. The following "hateful
eight" charts pretty much speak for themselves... This doesn't bode
well for U.S. stocks which are now in the riskiest position since the bull
market started seven years ago."

from almost 90% particpation in the labor force in 1948 to just 68.5% in 2015,
it appears that crossing below the 70% participation rate has pushed
American men to their limit of faith in career politicians.

Newsflash
From The December 'Jobs' Report - The US Economy Is Dead In The Water. by
David Stockman via Contra Corner blog, Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/09/2016: Here’s a newsflash that CNBC didn’t mention. .. Yet the
December 2015 number of breadwinner jobs was still 1.1 million
jobs below that posted for the first month of this century!
In fact, not withstanding the “blow-out” December numbers,
the US economy still has 11% fewer jobs in goods
production—-mining, energy, manufacturing and construction—–than it did at the
December 2007 cyclical peak, and 21% fewer than at the turn of
the century.
By contrast, what is being swapped in are what we
have called Part-Time Economy jobs, where there have been modest
cyclically comparable gains in job levels during the past 15 years. Needless to
say, however, the average annualized pay rate in this category is less than
$20,000.
The monetary central planners at the Fed and their economist
cheerleaders have never forecast a recession. That’s because they embrace
the cardinal Keynesian Error, which holds that private capitalism is inherently
unstable and prone to extreme cyclical swings—-even a tendency toward
depressionary black holes.
… Notwithstanding the thumping repudiation of that
conceit which occurred during the great financial crisis and recession, the
predicate remains that this time is different. To wit, the monetary central
planners now have it right and will steer the US economy deftly to the nirvana
of permanent Full Employment, world without end.

POLITICS
How
The Feds Got All That Western Land (and Why It's A Problem). Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 01/09/2016: Government owned and subsidized lands in the
American West have been a source of conflict among competing interest groups
since the 19th century. Since the very beginning of white settlement, lands
have been used by the federal government as part of a political scheme to
subsidize and reward certain groups while punishing others. The current
standoff between ranchers and federal officials in Oregon is simply the latest
chapter in a long contentious and sometimes bloody history of groups competing
for control over government-owned lands in the West, and by ensuring
that lands continue to be allocated by political means rather than
through the market, government ownership of lands simply perpetuates conflict
in the region.

Texas Governor Calls For Constitutional Convention To "Wrest Power From A Federal Government Run Amok". Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/09/2016: "The increasingly frequent departures from Constitutional principles are destroying the Rule of Law foundation on which this country was built... The cure to these problems will not come from Washington D.C. Instead, the states must lead the way. The irony for our generation is that the threat to our Republic doesn’t come just from foreign enemies, it comes, in part, from our very own leaders." - Texas governor Greg Abbott

One
Map That Explains The Dangerous Saudi-Iranian Conflict. by
Jon Schwartz via The Intercept, Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/09/2016
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia executed Shiite Muslim cleric
Nimr al-Nimr on Saturday. Hours later, Iranian protestors set fire to the Saudi
embassy in Tehran. On Sunday, the Saudi government, which considers itself the
guardian of Sunni Islam, cut diplomatic ties with Iran, which is a Shiite
Muslim theocracy.
..
But to the degree that the
current crisis has anything to do with religion, it’s much less about whether
Abu Bakr or Ali was Muhammad’s rightful successor and much more about
who’s going to control something more concrete right now: oil.
..
What the map shows is that, due to a peculiar correlation
of religious history and anaerobic decomposition of plankton, almost all the
Persian Gulf’s fossil fuels are located underneath Shiites. This is true
even in Sunni Saudi Arabia, where the major oil fields are in the Eastern
Province, which has a majority Shiite population. As a result, one of the Saudi
royal family’s deepest fears is that one day Saudi Shiites will secede,
with their oil, and ally with Shiite Iran.
..
Without fossil
fuels, however, this sectarianism toward Shiites would likely be less
intense today. And it would definitely be less well-financed. Winston
Churchill once described Iran’s
oil – which the U.K. was busy stealing at the time — as “a prize from fairyland
far beyond our brightest hopes.”

Months Of Accelerating Deflation Mean Beijing Is Now Trapped. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 01/09/2016. In short, our
condolences China: having decided to adopt Western neo-Keynesian economics,
with the typical monetarist bent, you too are now trapped with no way out. But
don't worry: so is everyone else. Good luck.
..
[ In the current
system of financialization is the US who’s in the trap.. the final China’s
stroke on the camel is the total cut of trade in dollars .. IMF is imploring
China not to get out from their SDR project .. but is late… Russia & Iran
has now much of the oil trade.. so they don’t need the SDR.. they can set up a
new international currency for banking
& trade.]

Theme #5: The Systemic Failure of High Finance. Posted
on January 9, 2016 by Charles
Hugh Smith High finance and cheap credit have
intensified structural problems such as rising inequality, not resolved them.
..
The implicit promise of the neoliberal project is
that liberalizing private-sector markets and credit will magically grease the
processes of growth and widespread prosperity.
..
When economies have the right systems in place–decentralized,
somewhat free markets, an entrepreneurial spirit, many unmet needs, idle
productive capacity and a credit-starved real economy–freeing up static
markets and credit can unleash the productive capacity of the bottom level of
the economy.
