Asian shares weaker as dollar drops, Nikkei down 1.2%

Investing.com –

Investing.com – Stocks in Japan and Hong Kong fell on Monday, as a weaker U.S. dollar pinched Japanese exporters, and signals of China’s slowdown continue to pressure shares.

The Nikkei 225 was down 1.2% on the market’s first day of trading in 2015, after weaker-than-expected manufacturing data from the U.S. on Friday nicked the dollar. Tokyo had been closed for Thursday and Friday for New Year’s holiday.

A weaker dollar pressures earnings of Japanese exporters repatriating revenue from abroad and paying costs in local currency at home. Nevertheless, expectations of rising interest rates in the U.S. pushed the dollar to an 11-year high against global currencies in 2014, and analysts expect even further strength this year.

The U.S. dollar traded at 120.02, from 120.50 late Friday in New York.

In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index was down 0.8%, after jumping 2.2% Friday. Data last week showed Chinese manufacturing activity slipped to its lowest level in 1.5 years. Investors expect an update on Chinese growth later this month.

The Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.7%, extending last year’s pattern of divergent performance between the mainland and Hong Kong, as local retail investors speculate on further stimulus from Beijing.

Elsewhere, Australia’s SP/ASX 200 was up 0.3% and Korea’s Kospi fell 1.1%.

Last week, U.S. stocks were mixed after the close on Friday, as gains in the Utilities, Telecommunications and Oil Gas sectors led shares higher while losses in the Consumer Services, Consumer Goods and Industrials sectors led shares lower.

At the close in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.06%, while the SP 500 index fell 0.03%, and the NASDAQ Composite index declined 0.20%.

In the week ahead, investors will be turning their attention to Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for further indications on the strength of the recovery in the labor market. Wednesday’s Federal Reserve meeting minutes will be also closely watched.

2015 — A Year Of Implementation

ECONOMICS

2015 – A YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION

JANUARY 2, 2015        By JC Collins

“The G20 has so far taken significant strides in designing and launching policy frameworks in many areas. In November 2014, as the members of the G20 we have agreed on the Brisbane Action Plan and pledged to undertake about 1000 commitments that, if fully implemented, will add more than USD 2 trillion to the global GDP and generate millions of additional jobs for our citizens by 2018. 

Likewise, for a number of work streams within the G20 including financial regulation, international tax, and international financial architecture, words have played their part. 2015 will be the time for the deeds and the year of implementation.”
~~~

Picture

From the official Turkish G20 Presidency Priorities for 2015

Only 2 days into the new year and we have the official outline of G20 priorities.  They are, as expected, a continuation of alternate framework policies and financial architecture.  One thing that is different right out of the gate is the terminology utilized by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey.  The quote above makes clear the intention of transitioning from “words” to “deeds” and to “implementation”.

It also references the 2018 time frame which we have discussed as the end of this stage, and the beginning of the next stage of multilateral transition.

We will review the three stages of transition further down the road but for now it is important to understand that we are moving from Stage One into Stage Two, and the third and final stage will commence in 2018.

I’m working on a series of e-publications titled The Economic Transition Papers, which will be segmented into the three stages and will offer more detailed information on the processes and structure of the multilateral architecture. 

Each will be around 50 pages in length and my goal is to produce one a month. The first installment is titled “Reengineering the Dollar”, and should be available sometime next week.

Also from the G20 publication:

“On the demand side, enhancing project preparation, effective project prioritization and developing more efficient Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) models will be our targets.

With regard to financial intermediation, Turkish Presidency will attribute great importance to non-traditional sources of lending.

Among those we will especially emphasize equity-based financing, with a particular focus on the New Modalities of Asset Based Financing, which is important for infrastructure investment and a good way of diversifying the risks.”

This quote gives us some new terminology to consider.  First, we are given the phrase “non-traditional sources of lending” which leads into “emphasize equity-based financing”. 

These can be taken as subjective references to the SDR bonds and liquidity and required restructuring of the IMF quota amounts, as detailed in the IMF Reforms.

The more important terminology here is found in “New Modalities of Asset Based Financing”. This phrase is loaded with potential speculation and unknowns, but is likely a reference to Basel 3 Banking Regulations and transition to the SDR as the international unit of account.

And finally:

“Completing the IMF reform will not only ensure a more even-handed realignment in the ranking of quota shares, but also help the Fund maintain its legitimacy and effectiveness. 

There will be a continued emphasis on the ratification of the 2010 IMF Quota and Governance Reform in 2015. In case of a failure, we will start discussions on the alternative ways to enhance the governance of the Fund, with a view to preserve the spirit of the 2010 Reform Package.”

This statement gives a very clear indication that the G20 is considering giving the United States Congress a short window to ratify the 2010 reforms or they will move forward on “implementing” the Plan B reforms, which will bypass the US and potentially remove the American veto, with an even larger decrease in quota amounts.

It also makes overtly clear that the G20, which includes China and Russia, intend on moving forward with the International Monetary Fund as opposed to further fragmenting the international monetary system by creating a parallel and competing system.  Reform is the preferred path forward in regards to monetary framework policies.

I would recommend all readers to review the G20 publication as it contains all of the components of the transition which we have been discussing, from an international tax, anti-corruption, energy sustainability, large infrastructure investments, and changes to the international financial architecture.  

The points in the document mirror what we reviewed in the post The Engineering of Global Public Goods.

As stated by the G20, 2015 will be the time for deeds and implementation.  Needless to say, there is much more to come.  – JC

3. Reading

4. Discussion

Louis  :  Now they want to drag things to the end of january. What is really going on……

Donna  > Louis They could come out on a float with an RI, which would satisfy the provision of keeping in line with Kuwait, knowing that when it’s on the open market it will go up, meeting their budget rate of 6.15.   ….which would be the reason for the date of the budget reading of 1/20

BaNDiTo.RoX > Louis Show me where it says voting on the budget on the 20th? 

It’s still for the 2nd reading on Wednesday..

nana7 > Yes, thank you Bandito.  They are saying that the budget will be adopted (hopefully) on Jan. 20.

Ron Burgundy Hello gang!  IMO – we can read Iraq articles, re-read, decipher with our secret agent decoder ring, etc.  But until the PTB (who are STILL in FIRM control of EVERYTHING, give us our turn to exchange (shortly before the up-coming bail-ins), we will sit here and wait (this has NOTHING to do with IRAQ!)

And there is nothing that the we, the Iraqis, the mythical Republic, aliens or the masters can do about it – period!

MoneyCometh > Ron Burgundy Agree…The rest is just to keep Dinarland calm while they keep making $$$$ daily. Imo.

You will see the records of both Houses of Congress and, the measures taken to fully ratify this “Act”. It has been hidden from the general public since the early 1800s but, has most recently been afforded “Headline status” by those seeking to expose the criminality of many in the counterfeit government called “The United States of America, Inc.”

Bulldog75 “The Paper Train Is Slowly Coming To An End”

BULLDOG75:JIM WILLIE, SHANGHAI SHOCK TO SHATTER THE GOLD MARKET!

Post From OOM & F By  Bulldog75 

BULLDOG75:The “paper  train” is slowly coming to an end.   The Chinese, Russians and Aussies are clever.  Buy, Hold, Mine and Hoard the precious metals of the world.  The East has it!   The West is out of it!   

Commodities/Metals is a great place to be when we probably see the CE/GCR after Jan.3, IMHO.   Be cautious, take care and know that paper fiat currency comes and goes like the wind.  

The Feds and Governments  will print and inflate to no end.  Metals and Oil will rebound high no doubt on the CE implementation.

Jim Willie: Shanghai Shock to Shatter the Gold Market!

December 30, 2014

The pattern of central bank covering the debt is clear.  The lesson is that central banks can apply paper patches to the failed banks, and buy more time, then repeat the process on the next failed bank event. No limit to their bank patches seems to be in force.  

The banker cabal can continue endlessly since their patches are based on paper solutions, fiat paper money spew, and they control the paper output. They are the masters of the House of Paper.

The paper mache solutions can continue in a seemingly endless manner, but not in the Gold market.

The intervention and suppression in the Gold market is finite.   It requires Gold bullion, the physical ingot bars, in order to execute the perpetuated interference and alteration to this financial niche market.

The manipulation is finite, and it is coming to an end.

When the Shanghai shock comes, ALL THE PAPER GOLD STRUCTURES WILL FALL, all the FOREX derivatives will collapse, & all the control rooms will go into panic mode.

The Quantitative Easing initiatives have been declared as stimulus and successful in sustaining the US financial system. While having been able to continue the debt floats, the many market props, providing coverage for USGovt debt securities and mortgage backed securities which nobody wants, the initiative is hardly stimulus.

The hyper monetary inflation does what we always learned it did, as in from school for 50 years, dole out its powerful corrosive effect.   The inflation lifts the cost structure, leads to elimination of profit margins, and forces businesses to shut down, thus taking equipment out of service.  The Jack** prefers to call the QE effect as killing capital, forcing retired capital, putting equipment on mothballs, often liquidated.   Neither the USFed nor the Wall Street partners ever refer to the capital destruction effect, because it contradicts their stimulus argument and false message. Theirs is pure propaganda in keeping with the urgent directive to save the banks that are too big to fail.  These are the financial crime centers of America.

Many are the interventions taken. Let us peruse the different types, while finishing with the Gold market. The paper mache solutions can continue in a seemingly endless manner, but not in the Gold market. The intervention and suppression in the Gold market is finite.

It requires Gold bullion, the physical ingot bars, in order to execute the perpetuated interference and alteration to this financial niche market. The undermine is finite, and it is coming to an end.

As the major conflict between East and West is played out between Russia and the United States, bear in mind an important contrast. The Russians have the vast network of natural gas pipelines, which are being fought over in Ukraine.

The pipelines supply energy to the many economies, both industry and households. The United States has a vast network of toxic flow in contaminated money, evident in the USTreasury Bond market, the FOREX currency market, and the banking systems.

 The pipeline for tainted funds contains channels, windows, tubes, side entries, plumbing, and levers just like a giant chemical plant. The trouble is that the US network of liquidity is toxic and leads to destroyed capital and economic ruin.

The US will not win this battle. It will earn isolation even from its allies. The US is to become a pariah nation.

BANK FAILURE SKEIN OF SPOT PATCHES

Many have been the bank failures in recent years during the so-called Global Financial Crisis, which the Jackass prefers to call the collapse of Western monetary system and banking system. 

Hidden was the biggest and most important to date, done in September 2008.  The bailout was of Goldman Sachs, but made to look like a Lehman failure and AIG nationalization.

Under the USGovt aegis, the venerable GSax was given 100 cents per dollar on derivative payouts, was redeemed in full on mortgage assets, and generally was placed first in line for all window functions.

It was the most clever bank bailout in history. The source of the derivative payouts was the usual funny money, where all trails lead to the USFed in its money creation.

The good people of the United States talk about the favored 1% Elite, but they really have no idea who the bankers are, what they do, devices they use, controls they exert, or influence they peddle.

If only they knew how Goldman and Citibank write Congressional legislation and tap markets for illicit tolls and skims. Their huge penalties and fines for criminal behavior are incorporated into their business models. Crime has a relatively small but growing part in its cost of doing business.

Royal Bank of Scotland was another giant bailout following a failure, or near failure. The UKGovt took a 81% stake in the failed financial institution, not quite buying lock stock and barrel in its many wrecked business segments. The bailout was worth 46 billion British Pounds, completed in 2008 and 2009.

 It is all gone, all squandered, good (phony) money after bad. The good people of Britain have complained about horrendous treatment by the bank ever since. The RBS bank remains predatory, but protected by the government.

A more recent event highlighted the situation well. The Jackass had in 2012 and 2013 wondered whether a systemic breakdown would occur from a mid-sized bank entering failure, which would force larger associated banks to fail.

 Then would come a contagion, lost control of certain markets under constant intervention, and release of the Gold market. In the process some London and New York banks would go bust. Hope had been somewhat dashed on this scenario when QE was installed and given additional rounds.

The bond purchase initiatives enabled other financial assets to be covered, like mortgage bonds, like bank derivatives, like even bank bonds, even ample cover for quiet stocks purchases.

 As 2014 arrived, it seemed clear that bank failures could be repaired and fixed by paper money, specially designed patches, specially designed liquidity facilities, specially designed loans with near 0% interest, even using massive swaps.

 The various governments (especially the USGovt) could help repair and fix the bank failures with fiscal outlay of more debt. More hidden is the application of narco money to prevent high profile failures like with Bank of America.

The recent event which caught the eye was the failure of Banco Espirito Santo in Portugal. Its failure was met by a controversy over sloppy redemption of derivative insurance, due to the many subsidiaries involved and contract fine print.

Apart from the reform to derivatives to make clear on their payout, a larger message was made clear. The Euro Central Bank simply opened its window and covered much of the BES debt, preventing a full scale bankruptcy failure, and removing risk from a potential contagion. The event remains unsettled.

The pattern of central bank covering the debt is clear. The lesson is that central banks can apply paper patches to the failed banks, and buy more time, then repeat the process on the next failed bank event. No limit to their bank patches seems to be in force.  

The banker cabal can continue endlessly since their patches are based on paper solutions, fiat paper money spew, and they control the paper output. They are the masters of the House of Paper.

TREASURY BOND INTEGRATED LIFELINE PATCHES

The USTreasury Bond market is a great example of a default in front of our eyes, masked by the installation of a hyper monetary inflation initiative as a lifeline patch, one made institutionally.

The Jackass has been firm since 2012 that QE is to be continued permanently, and never halted.

 It created a fully dependent condition which could never be removed. We saw QE, then QE2, then Operation Twist (swaps of long-term bonds for short-term bills), then QE3, then Taper Talk (basic lies), and now QE to Infinity.

The current situation involves far more more lies periodically, and in more settings. The central bank cannot admit the permanence of bond purchases, since it would mean the United States is an endorsed Third World Nation, monetizing its growing debt forever, and with heavy war costs atop the burden.

 The big hint of stench from debt default behind the walls was the suspension of the USGovt debt limit a year ago. Some wise analysts conclude that a debt limit suspension can only happen if a default has occurred.

 Others argue that the USCongress can simply rewrite the laws to permit an unlimited credit line. The sale of the JPMorguen headquarters in South Manhattan seems to put more weight on the default premise.

The endless wars seem to lend credence to the desperation by the banker cabal. There might be a new war in a couple months, the chief US export besides toxic bonds, military weapons, and diabetes.

The USTreasury Bond market would collapse without the QE bond purchases. They are done in unsterilized manner. Despite all his consummate arrogance, Prince Draghi at least conducts sterilized injections, where he removed funds from the financial system concurrently.

 The USFed simply injects funds without matching funds in removal, thus unsterilized. The USTBond complex is supported by hyper monetary inflation machinery, in the most corrosive, injurious, and heretical manner in existence, pure dispensation of phony untethered money to cover debt, both new debt and rolled over debt. The lifeline patch has been fully integrated into the system.

The USGovt continues with its $1 trillion annual debt spew from uncontrollable deficits. No oversight takes place on the USFed actions, which are replete with lies on the deficit volume.

Simple end of fiscal year subtraction displays another annual $1.1 trillion deficit. The The Jack** suspects that $80 to $90 billion in QE volume is applied by the USFed on a monthly basis, just to USTreasurys and official label mortgage bonds (mostly Fannie Mae type).

My other suspicion is that QE covers perhaps at least another $100 billion per month in derivatives, which are never mentioned. They are deeply problematic, as indicated by the London Whale incident, which also was told with broad lies.

His losses were not from Euro Sovereign Bonds, but rather from USTBond volatility, the bane of derivatives. The PIGS bonds all recovered in the quarter in question, to easily expose the JPMorguen lies, except to the highly paid bank analysts who kiss the ring on bent knee.

The USTreasury Bond default might have coincided with the JPM HQ seizure, and perhaps with some measure of Chinese purchase of a stake in the Federal Reserve itself.

he Chinese are busily working behind the scenes. They might have given orders to suspend the debt limit, in order to end some unwanted controversy and attention. Lull the masses to sleep, and sack control of the key financial posts.

They have been active in converting their toxic USD debt paper to commercial properties and farmlands, possibly also to mining properties and port facilities. The Jackass suspects the Chinese do not hold $1.3 trillion in USTBonds in their possession.

My suspicion is they might not have $1.0 trillion, which still would be a lot. They have been making investments around the world, buying hard assets and dumping their USD debt paper. They have been especially busy in African acquisitions and partnerships.

The USTreasury Bond complex has been attached to the USFed QE bond buying initiative by means of the inflation machinery, as a wide channel has been attached and integrated.

The debts do not matter anymore, as all covered by monetized debt, a horrendous new chapter fully blessed by the bankers in charge of the USGovt finance ministry. The bond market is therefore corrupted in a thorough manner in an institutionalized cancer display.

The reinforcement to the bond market comes from the Interest Rate Swap machinery, a sort of flying buttress to support the 250-story tower which must contend with disturbance from the four winds.

 The policy piece that few analysts seem to comprehend (or chose to mention even though well aware) is the urgent need for ZIRP Forever, in two critical respects.

The system requires the 0% rate to sustain the bond market. The 0% free money is needed as feeder to the Interest Rate Swaps, which process the phony money flow of funds in a couple steps to produce artificial long-term USTreasury Bond demand. Poof, out of nowhere, huge USTreasury demand when no buyers exist. The key need is for free money to feed the IRSwap machinery, new fat bond demand at no cost.

The second is the Wall Street bond carry trade. They borrow short and invest long. They use the 0% for borrowed funds, invest in long-term USTreasurys to gather in the rate spread. They usually put on leverage by means of bond futures contracts.

The USFed will not raise rates and crush the big banks, since they are syndicate partners. Doing so would cause a reversal of profits, and cause some momentum for bond sales which could take the long-term yields past 3% surely, and even to 4% suddenly.

The USFed will not raise rates and disconnect the lifeline to the USTreasurys from the interest rate derivative machinery. The US relies upon financial engineering, and it will die from financial engineering. The US has become addicted to easy money, and has in place a lethal dependence upon derivatives and carry trade. Greenspan was dead wrong, and he knows it.

The pattern of central bank covering the USGovt debt securities (and quasi-USGovt debt like Fannie Mae bonds) is clear. The central bank has created an elaborate machinery to attach to the bond market in derivatives, with allied support coming from Wall Street carry trade.

The machinery and devices are fully integrated. The lesson is that central banks can apply sophisticated paper inputs of the financial engineering variety to the failed USGovt sovereign debt market, and buy more time, and perpetuate the process to cover every new year of debt and every new rollover of debt.

The QE is permanent, thus given the name QE to Infinity, just like the USGovt debt to infinity. The ZIRP is forever, the feeder input. The system will go haywire when foreign nations dump USTreasurys in heavy volume, after the USDollar is used far less in trade payments.

The USFed volume of QE usage will go ballistic. They can cover bonds, but they cannot force foreign suppliers to accept USTBond toxic paper in exchange for finished products and raw goods including crude oil.

The banker cabal can continue endlessly since their patches are based on paper solutions, fiat paper money spew, and they control the paper output. But even here, they will hit the wall, and be forced by foreign suppliers to issue a new Scheiss Dollar.

 It will be devaluated far more than anticipated. Some nations might be intimidated to continue accepting USD in trade, after the murder of French energy CEO Christophe de Margerie. He spoke out against the practice of USD usage in oil sales. Murder does have its benefits for the USGovt.

LIMITATIONS ON GOLD COMEX

The suppression of the Gold price has been the norm for 20 years, the constant cancer on the body financial, the enabler of unbridled debt and monetary growth.

 The gold enforcer has been locked up, bottled up, and tied up. The methods are many to control the Gold price, which cannot be all listed, since to be honest, some are extremely hidden and are managed in secrecy.

The basic methods are to conduct naked shorting of the gold futures contract, selling paper gold, never delivering it, and perpetuating the process with more naked shorts. The sleepy compromised CFTC does not enforce any laws, certainly not againt contract fraud.

Since June 2012, the gold futures contracts have been settled in cash, giving their full bloom of the synthetic name. No lawsuits come, since the players would be banned from the COMEX criminal arena.

To be sure, the big banks have a much smaller net short gold position lately. They might have been treated to a whiff of their own slaughter.

The SPDR Gold Trust (aka GLD Fund) is an exchange traded fund. It supplies gold bullion to the COMEX in surreptitious manner, by basically robbing the investors of their base inventory. They produce certificates, short the shares, use all kinds of devices, and walk away with the metal off the ramp.

The GLD Fund has been systematically drained for the last five years, its inventory under 800 tons. Great debate stirs over the actual effective zero level being around 700 tons, since gold in motion from the mining firm output is counted in the fund (Jackass suspicion). 

Worse, the legitimate investors of GLD, even with sufficient number of shares according to the prospectus, are being denied a conversion to gold bars from the GLD shares. 

They are refused since not syndicate members, simply stated. The conversion of shares is an exclusive Wall Street bank privilege. The source from the fund might be dry.

An important indication of deeper corruption is evident in the Gold market. The once esteemed Scotia Mocatta has sold out. They have for the last year been providing their valuable bullion bank inventory of gold bars to the Wall Street hive. They are being drained effectively. 

The data is visible from the COMEX inventory movements, in a grand shuffle, often with Scotia the source. It is unclear why a respected august Canadian bank would sell their souls to the devil. Some deal was cut, which will not be entertained. 

To be sure, Wall Street is running out of deep source channels. They have been using their Langley alliance to steal gold, like in Libya (144 tons) and in Kiev (33 tons) and elsewhere, maybe soon in defenseless Chad. The big untold story is the USGovt thefts of Saudi gold in Swiss banks. 

The royals are being tossed under the bus, no longer useful, except for photo opps. Despite the extraordinary measures, even with wars and disruptions, Wall Street is running out of deep source channels.

Many are the FOREX derivative devices that keep the Gold price down. The lashing of most every major currencies has been done, but relative to the Gold market. A flow chart of FOREX derivatives tied to gold would indeed make for an interesting picture. 

It would resemble, with Interest Rate Swap portals and carry trade plumbing, a grand picture of a chemical processing plant. The main centers for control of the Gold price are four. The Basel Switzerland hive with the Bank for Intl Settlements is a major control center, home of the uber-bankers. 

The London site for the Goldman Sachs gold desk is another major control center, next door to the scandalous Gold Fix. The New York Fed is another major control center, which also specializes in stealing official gold accounts. 

The JPMorguen Chief Investment Office is another two-sided major control center, with vast tentacles to all important markets. It has offices in New York and London. A hidden office could be in the Rome hive, which might contain more telephone and teletype messages than actual market orders.

The pattern of banker control to the Gold market has a deep vulnerability. They cannot use unlimited paper gold contracts, since some degree of attachment to gold collateral is required. In other words, the gold suppression requires some gold bullion as basis. 

The reported ratio of paper gold claims to the actual gold supply within the banking system is around 100 to one in ratio. It grows worse (higher) every year. The Great Gold Game cannot be continued in perpetuity, since the paper gold requires an inflow source of actual physical metal gold in the form of gold bullion. 

The New York hive is running low, if not close to empty. The GLD source is running low, if not close to empty. The London hive is running low, if not close to empty. It has actually been drained of 1000 tons gold per month since March 2012. The other sources are more nebulous and difficult to assess. 

The Basel hive might not be running low on gold bars, but they might be close to their limit on willingness to provide gold to the system, which redirects it to China. The Rome hive might also be low on willingness to provide gold to the system. Both Basel and Rome might be in the process of negotiating a role in the next chapter after the Global Paradigm Shift is completed.

GRAND GOLD SHOCK EVENT

Deep disturbance comes from a sudden (possibly overnight) doubling of the Gold price, done in Shanghai. They run an honest shop and they seek to establish a fair Gold price. 

It will be based on equilibrium between Supply & Demand of the physical gold metal. What a unique concept, totally lost to the Western bank centers and the entire Western financial structures. 

The stubborn Gold metal cannot be printed, nor converted from iron or lead in alchemy. Despite strong relations with Beelzebub and the nether world, the bankers cannot tap the alchemy laboratory formulas and produce gold. 

The Gold market cannot be fixed by paper gold on a repeated basis, surely not in perpuity.

When the Shanghai shock comes, all the Paper Gold structures will fall, all the FOREX derivatives will collapse, all the control rooms will go into panic mode. It would be fun to watch, except the vile bankers will cause more wars and release more designer viruses.

The best way to defend against the ongoing deadly storm is to purchase Gold & Silver bars & coins, and to exit the entire paper money system of stocks, bonds, and big bank certificates. Paper wealth will not survive the storm and its climax well. The storm has entered a final climax phase. 

Great changes are coming. The highly volatile financial markets, almost all of them, signal a storm with nasty resolution. 

As the Voice stated briefly but powerfully only three weeks ago, “WE ARE IN THE END GAME FINALLY.” 

The only protection to bank failures, account confiscations, lost life savings, converted pensions, and economic distress will be Gold & Silver ownership in metal form.

BlueEyedGoddess If we could just concentrate on THE WINDOW for a currency exchange instead of the distractions of conspiracy theories, this thread would be much easier to navigate and much more interesting.  Exo, you said days until Christmas.……..less than or equal to how many days?

Underdog What happened to sanctions placed against the USA corp?

What ever happened to all those containers of electronics and equipment that were shipped to Iraq with the anticipation of an RI or RV? Someone had to pay with dollas or lines of credit. Not sure to people who purchase thsee luxury items were able to afford it just yet. Anyone know?

EXOGEN > Underdog ALL OF THAT IS NOW ABOUT TO BE TAXED IN IRAQ NOW

robert > EXOGEN tariffs ,which citizens cannot afford to pay on a wortlhess currency imo,they need more purchasing power,lets rv guys get this show on the road.

EXOGEN > robert AND THE PORT AGREEMENT JUST COMPLETED WITH KUWAIT IS KEY , BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SHARE THE SAME PORT FOR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS IF 1 LOCATION HAS AN INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE RATE AND OTHER PARTY HAS A RATE AT 1/8 OF A PENNY

“Breaking News- Mubarak port integrated with Iraqi ports, says Kuwait FM

Baghdad {Alforat} -The Kuwaiti Foreign Minister, Sabah Khalid Al-Sabah assured “Mubarak seaport is a complementary one to the Iraqi seaports.”
“Mubarak port is integrated with the Iraqi ports,” he added noting “the region needs such ports.” /End/”

EXOGEN > G T   NOT THIS TIME THEY CAN’T

**********

robert January 1, 2015  simple facts if introducing taxes after budget implemented , apparantely 15% on cars ,20% on telecommunications companies ,taxes on airline tickets, not only will the country inflation rise but there citizens will suffer without purchasing power to combat this without a strong dinar.

There is only one solution RV my friends , Saturday is meant to be so they say final reading of budget although we all know this is done already.

Patience as all good things come to those who wait. Blessings

EXOGEN January 1, 2015  THE ENTIRE GLOBAL SYSTEM IS CORRUPT AND THEY ALL STEAL MONEY, YOU SHOULD NOW  RECOGNIZE THE BP OIL SPILL WAS MANUFACTURED AND CREATED TO GENERATE LARGE NO BID CLEAN UP CONTRACTS FOR HUGE PROFITS

OilRat > EXOGEN January 1, 2015 at 8:59am

Sorry Exo……although I cannot disagree with the system being corrupt……but to give any credibility to the statement that the spill was on purpose is just irresponsible!!!

The gulf coast is the most difficult region in the world to drill wells……When drilling a well with 15k+ PSI bottom hole well pressure, where one mistake and/or mis-calculation cost lives.

I’ve drilled wells in those types of situations and it’s no fun.

EXOGEN > OilRat

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN 9-11 NO BID CONTRACTS

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN GLOBAL BANKS STEALING TRILLIONS IN FOREX PROBES

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE EBOLA SCAM THE ALLOWED THE CDC, RED CROSS, AND BIG PHARMA AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET BILLIONS IN FUNDING ALONG WITH THE CONGRESSIONAL EBOLA SPENDING BUDGET

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN WARS BEING MANUFACTURED FOR INSIDERS TO FUND BOTH SIDES FOR PROFITS

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAT ALL OF THE FALSE FLAGS PEOPLE FAIL TO ACCEPT AS REALITY

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAT THE DEAL BEHIND THE SCENES WITH BOEING AND STOCK MOVES THAT TOOK PLACE WITH LATEST AIRPLANE MOVES

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAT THE PEOPLE WHO SET EXPLOSIVES IN BUILDINGS SEPTEMBER 11

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE MISSILE THAT HIT THE PENTAGON  SEPTEMBER 11

ITS NO DIFFERENT THAT THE USA ARTIFICIALLY INCREASING THE DOLLAR AS PLOT FOR FINANCIAL TERRORISM AGAINST RUSSIA

EXOGEN > THE BAD GUY SYSTEM IS COLLAPSING!!!!

RIGHT NOW BP IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR GLOBAL CURRENCY MANIPULATION, COMMODITIES MANIPULATION, AND NATURAL RESOURCE PRICE MANIPULATION VIA THE GLOBAL FOREX PROBES!!

Jose’ Vigilante > EXOGEN British Petroleum, Plus Many Dozens of Countries (including USA), is Owned, Principally, by the German Crown/Queen of England, and as Britain has been Owned by the Catholic Vatican since the 1,200’s.

Cosmic Consciousness > EXOGEN In order that the New System arises the old one has to collapse! Both systems are not compatible to coexist! Their energies are totally different, though they have different timelines, diverging from each other.

China has been on a mission to acquire much of the world's gold supply, gold exchanges and gold mines. It could use this gold to back a new currency and make a bid to replace the U.S. dollar as the world's reserve currency. If that happens, then …

Reposted: “China Will Use Gold Pricing To Force Global Currency Reset”

Emailed to Recaps:   Reposted From Oct. 2014:

THE EXAMINER:

China will use gold and gold pricing to force global currency reset,

China will re-price gold to near or above twice the current price, which will have a devastating effect on derivatives and ongoing use of the Comex futures market to suppress gold prices, and protect the dollar.

And based upon supply details for the Comex over the past two years, America’s primary gold exchange no longer settles their contracts through the delivery of physical gold, but instead settles in cash payments or through the hedging of gold using derivatives.

 Subsequently, once this failure to deliver takes place, then China, through the Shanghai gold exchange, will become the default market for price discovery, and at that point will re-adjust gold to its true value, instantly causing massive chaos in the fiat currency markets and leaving the world little alternative but to implement a complete currency reset.
….
Several economic analysts, including John Williams, Peter Schiff, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, and Gerald Celente all gave predictions earlier this year that a global currency reset event was going to take place in 2014, with most believing it would come before the end of summer.

However, with the U.S. not on board with the rest of the world, and instead seeking military conflicts to delay the end of the petro-dollar system, both Russia and China have had to accelerate their efforts to create infrastructures that will allow a more fluid transition for global trade once a currency reset actually takes place.

Over the past several weeks, the dollar has grown in strength at the same time the rest of the world’s currencies have been collapsing. And because of this, global accumulation of physical gold at depressed levels is running at or near historic highs in an attempt to hedge sovereign currencies that have run out of muster from years of low interest rates and slow money velocities.

And as several global financial indicators begin to reach a nexus, and threaten once again to bring the world into another economic crisis, China is recognizing that physical gold is the ultimate catalyst to force an end to the domination of purely fiat finance, and that by revaluing gold to its rightful price will have the effect of both protecting their own currency, and wresting financial control away from the West and the system of dollar hegemony.


Dr. Jim Willie: When we get this next global currency reset, it’s going to be a complete reset. It apparently will happen predominantly in the gold world. They are going to change the price of gold, and jam it down the U.S.’s throat.


Take a look at the Comex. Since the middle of 2012 or so, they’ve been forcing gold contracts to settle not in metal, but in cash. And if you don’t like it, they’ll ban you from the Comex. There’s been very little if any settlement of gold futures contracts for two years in gold metal. They’re not a gold market anymore, they’re a derivative market for gold instruments.

So, in late September… about a week ago, Shanghai started offering a gold and futures contract, and they’re settling in metal. And this is rabidly threatening the United States and London. And interestingly, you will notice shortly after this new exchange opened there are now uprisings in Hong Kong.

But this is the final phase… the end game of the next reset. They are going to do this in Shanghai and with their global gold contracts, with the real big event that’s going to create mass disruptions in the currency markets.

And those disruptions will be from the Asians declaring what the gold price is, and with the Asians delivering and supplying physical metals at that gold price.

Personal KTFA CC Notes from Susan at S3A-Emailed to Recaps

Susan A. S. > Here are my notes from the KTFA call:

Said that the HCL runs the 2015 budget. Gas is not done dropping. Look at right after the 1st of the year. Said that I-Team’s job is to protect. In Feb., March, and April, they will be protecting Dr. Shabibi.

Those writing the budget have had no vacation in years. Has been done in the ‘Green Zone.’ Have been working with IMF, BIS, etc….all EXCEPT THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.

 Many budgets for the many provinces. US was there over the holidays. Who? Cannot tell you. The whole time they were protecting these meetings; and they (Iraq) finished the budget. has been protected all year….

ONLY Shabibi has been in charge of the CBI, since September. It was only he. ‘Turki’ was an interim-only governor. Did well. But not a replacement for all of the meetings.
….
Don’t need to replace Shabibi. Still in charge. Wants to talk. The BIS, US, etc…all of these were before the ‘RI.’ Belief that Shabibi does not need to talk; but will…only when the RV occurs.

The ‘RI’ will be done in the still of the night. This is his puppy.

Frank exhorted us to know the compartments of these two The RI and the RV. HCL is in 2015 budget. Not secretive. Released when it goes through the Gazette. “Same cat, different tail.” Dependent on HCL.

HCL and budget will go at the same time.

Tariffs already in the structure. Important.

Many other ways to make money after the 1st.

MUCH IS DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER. CBI and GOI are ‘MARRIED.’ Will show after the Gazette on 1/1/15.

 I-Team is amazed that there are no leaks. It’s the language. No compromise. Language for tariffs, much surfacing, laws, tourism; ALL depend on the budget.

Look at the provinces of Iraq. When they get their funding through the budget. Said that we may just be there (changing of the rate).

Said is like in the USA; each state is autonomous. Each has their own budget. DC separate, but each needs each other.

Same in Iraq’s provinces. Passing own laws Each of the provinces will be EXACTLY THE SAME. ALL will be on the same page as Baghdad…..Unity, coordination, cooperation, by security.

Said that Kurdistan is 5 years ahead of Baghdad. That’s why they each will do the same thing. The provinces; every one needs to be set in order…to fund the budget.

This process has been worked on for the last 6 months. Dependent on Baghdad? They are one but once they all in order, they can go; using Kurdistan as a template.

The budget HAS A RATE IN IT. It Is about to come out.

Delta came on.


#1: Said he is giving confirmation to what Frank has said.

The way budget presented. Watched how the President of Iraq signed it. He had 15 days to sign it. Then 2-3 days later it is to be published in the Gazette. Wanted to get it done as fast as possible.

Go to ‘Budget Details.’ There is something very interesting. There are 41 Articles in the budget. It is missing ‘Article #38′. Something that they want no one to see. Is it possible what they are hiding is the rate?

 #2: On 12/15, announced ISX taken down saw 12/29 going on vacation….but they came back on the 28th. Instead of 7th, it will be back on the 11th. Why need to renew their payment system? 

The payment system; is all in Dinars. Should see activation within 1-2 months….from OCTOBER!!!  Between the 7th and 8th.  Less than a week. Iraq needs this more than us.

Frank: The rate is on the back burner. The rate is: 1166. The verbage says that any moment, at any point, at any moment in time; can be changed.

Cannot be changed…until Shabibi says so. Contracts expire in March. Why need the 90 days? Will come out AFTER the first.

Pay attention to the provinces. Wait until Abadi talks. Iraq is thirsty for the rate.

ATM, ISX, ARE ALL waiting for the rate.

Thinks they will do as soon as possible. They need cash and foreign investors, etc.. Thinks it will happen this week.

Ghost: “Tell Delta thank you for the back-up.”

Frank: “If you go to the CBI you will always see the truth.”

Frank lastly mentioned to look at how Vietnam told China to, “Stuff it; that they can take care of themselves.” And Frank affirmed that Vietnam CAN. :-)

If you don't factor in China's renminbi using purchasing power parity, the dollar is the world's strongest currency.
