No one I know spends too much time @ ZeroHedge anymore.

Hey didy’a hear S&P downgraded the US future debt today?

See where the markets went? See where gold went in the “fear trade”?

See where Greece’s 2 YR note went? 20%!!!!!!!!!!!!

QE2 is has had the effect of turning all that free money into specualtive markets (QE2 was an asset swap remember – I buy bonds and give you greenbacks instead!).

So the money leaked out somewhere – into speculative trades on…. hmmmm… let’s see, … OH! commodities & equities!

The bad thing about trading the market up in commodities is that these little guys are the INPUT PRICES into companies!

They HAVE TO BEAR THE PRICE THAT THEY CAN’T PASS ON TO THE CONSUMER b/c HE IS BUSTED FLAT.

So, whadda ya do?

You go for the re-packaging concept? You try EVERY TRICK up your sleeve to slip those costs in!

You find ANY way possible to hold on to your staff BUT STILL make money as a company!

OH! Those EVIL companies – trying to make money and employ people! EVIL, EVIL, EVIL!

Shut the FUCK UP!

And yes, sure they are not pure bastioned white – but they ARE getting hammered by the input prices and their fee sheets are certainly getting squeezed.

Let us hope the Helo Ben gets forced to NOT let QE3 go!! The market is already pricing in the end of QE2.

The help that our economy needs DOES NOT COME from a privatley-held central bank whose ONLY interest is the Illuminati elitists who actually run this god-damned country.

Ya know?

The 1 really cool thing about the origins of this country was the wisdom of the free-masons Washington & Jefferson who wrote it right INTO our Constitution: Article I, Section 8 mother-fucker! The “government” has the authority to coin money in these here fucking united states – NO ONE ELSE!

And we managed to hold off the Elitists until 1913 when Woodrow (Woodie-Woodpecker) Wilson did an absolute CAVE and signed the Federal Reserve Act (at about the same time that taxing regular income was also signed!).

And here is a point that I am still trying to understand – we PAY A FEE FOR EVERY DOLLAR PRINTED BY THE FED?

WTF?

Who owns who here?

Trust me folks, make sure your anger is well-placed.

The GOV is just testing the waters to see how far they can extend their tyranny – it is the Illuminati elitists who are BETTING ON IT. (They get to make a BOATLOAD of money out of the ensuing mis-directed REVOLUTION).

Being a TEA Party advocate is just mis-directed anger and it’s stupid.

Focus your anger towards the appropriate location – AND THEN DO SOMP’ING!

A less visible phenomenon is a harder target.

In the case of higher prices, one simply has to point at the visibly new prices and blame someone.

In the case of the smaller packages, one has to first explain that the packages are shrinking before blaming some capitalist pig.

In the case of the increasing money supply, well you can’t even point at some Fed-owned building and count the trucks coming out with freshly printed currency.

Plus, if Helicopter Ben was appointed by the POTUS, surely he’s the most competent person to run the system. At least he has no reason to lie about how it’s really doing, unlike Walmart. Right?
