By: Bob Chapman, The International Forecaster
As you have already seen this is a worldwide depression and no one will escape. Europe’s economy is already in a shambles as is the US economy. Inflation will rage all over the world, because every nation has created massive amounts of money and credit as demanded by US and British elitists. They have all overmedicated the patient. As the Broadway hit play of many years ago told us, we are going to have to go through a “Period of Adjustment.” Some nations will get off easier than others. There will be no decoupling and many nations could have revolutions.

This idea of a non-bank currency issued directly by a government free of any interest burden is along the lines of what Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy did, and tried to do, respectively, for the US. Their boldness in promoting the welfare of US citizens cost them their lives. They did not want to become interest slaves to a private national bank, and chose to issue our own official currency directly from our Treasury Department free of the interest burden imposed by a privately owned, debt-based, European-style fractional reserve banking system, which is what our Founding Fathers fought a war to free themselves, and their posterity, from.

The next major move in the stock market will be down. We are seeing the last vestiges of a rally similar to what we saw in 1931. The rally we expected at 6600 up to 8500 will end as soon as all the financial institutions that need to sell what stock is necessary to bolster their balance sheets. Our guess is the rally has been aided in a big way by short covering and the participation of the US government. Those who believe the SEC has stopped naked short selling are sadly mistaken.

The big question is how long can the dollar last as the world’s reserve currency? Needless to say, that is not an easy question to answer. We recently called the top on the dollar at 89.50 on the USDX. The USDX is six currencies versus the dollar on a weighted basis. More than a year ago the dollar hit a low on the USDX at 71.18.

A recovery is supposed to be in the works in the midst of increased savings, declining debt balances on credit cards, more bankruptcies, higher unemployment and new wave of foreclosures. Consumer participation in GDP is down from 72% to 70.4%. Bank and other financial firms’ balance sheets are what they say they are and we have a stock market bear rally built on sand just as we had in 1931. And, lest we forget, bogus government statistics calculated to confuse professionals and investors alike. What an upside down world.

Re-emergence of dollar vulnerability has taken almost all professionals by surprise. That has been prompted by the expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet, the upward movement in interest rates and the massive monetization that has been underway for some time. The Fed like many other central banks has been extending money and credit for the past 5-1/2 years. Those who watch closely were well aware of this. That is why the Fed has not published M3 for three years.

Americans may just be beginning to understand the US strategy regarding the credit crisis, but foreigners understand what they are up too. The US is creating a stealth default on its debt by continuing to issue massive amounts of money and credit and in the process devaluing the dollar. This, of course, is fraud, but other nations have defrauded the US for years by cheapening their currencies and subsidizing goods and services.

Anything to keep the market from falling. This has been followed by a long line of liars telling us we had bottomed out in the economy. The same litany we’ve been hearing for 22 months.

On Friday the dollar completely broke down, with the USDX collapsing to about 82.5, as monetizations by the Fed became a stark reality. A world stock market collapse could be imminent as a source of dollar support. We wonder how low they will let the dollar go before they collapse the stock markets to chase people back into US treasuries, which have also broken down, with treasury interest rates on the rise despite various Fed purchases of treasuries in the hundreds of billions.

Tiny Tim wants to have the FDIC finance, at six to one leverage without recourse, the public-private partnerships which will overpay for toxic waste to create a market for these "assets" at somewhere near par so the balance sheets of the legacy banks and the Fed can be saved at taxpayer expense. The private side of these proposed public-private partnerships does not expect to make a profit, and that is not the point. The real purpose for these public-private partnerships is to enable the Illuminist institutions to buy their trillions in toxic waste FROM EACH OTHER, at values approaching par.

While Ben Bernanke buys $300 billion in Treasuries he is contemplating another $300 billion. In fact there is an excellent chance that the $300 billion, or at least a large part of it, has already been spent. Between you and we, and the fence post, Ben will need at least $5 trillion for monetization. What is being done is to cover debt and save the financial system, not to revise the economy. At the same time, as you have gotten a taste of this week, the dollar was hit very hard. Also on the agenda is hyperinflation. We predicted this in 9/04 and here it is.

The tenor of the gold market has changed. Gold has decoupled from the dollar and at the moment it is not driven by fear of inflation or hyperinflation, but by a flight to quality. What else can be expected when the media reports that governments are deliberately creating inflation to offset deflation? Jewelry demand that normally makes up 80% of gold demand has dropped and investment demand is what is now driving buying.

The economists and analysts who scoffed at us almost two years ago when we announced that the recession, are all stumbling over themselves in announcing we may have a depression.

We are now 17 months into a credit crisis that continues to expose the corruption and incompetence of government, banking, Wall Street and transnational corporations. The situation has not stabilized and it won’t anytime soon. All we see are sweetheart deals for elitist corporations for which American taxpayers will pay for years to come. The future of our nation is totally out of control. For the last eight years our economy has been running on something for nothing, lies and deceit. The result will be hyperinflation and then the Second Great Depression.

We have watched over and over again since 10/19/87 our government dump gold on the market to suppress prices. From 10/19/87 until 8/20/88 that was an illegal enterprise. As we moved into the early 1990s, we saw commercials on the Comex shorting and increasing shorts as prices rose, which is not a normal procedure. It exposes one to the possibility of major losses, unless your shorting is covered by the US government.

The monetary base has again risen dramatically over the past few weeks up 38% yoy, the largest increase since 1939. You can expect all the major central banks to do the same thing, as this was a large part of what G-20 was all about.

Let's step back for a moment, and look at the big picture, to determine what the Illuminist miscreants have been up to over the past year. Their plans to pawn off all the toxic waste derivatives on others backfired when Meredith Whitney exposed Citibank's subprime derivatives as being toxic waste, worth a mere fraction of par. This untoward event was a watershed event for our nation, and for Illuminist plans to destroy us.

The US economy now headed toward completing its second year of recession is showing distinct signs of slowing. We are seeing less consumer spending and a lowering of asset values. This is deflationary, but what government is doing with money and credit far out paces any deflation – at least for now. Deflationists are wrong for now. Eventually they’ll be correct, perhaps 2 or 3 years from now. Our government, under the control of Wall Street and banking, has inflation schemes you never dreamed of. Do not forget the Fed has been increasing money and credit at about an average of 12% for five years.

Housing starts fell to a record low of 4.5% in October and applications for building permits fell 12%. It looks like the builders after three years are finally getting the message. Wait until you see how many of these builders go under. The mortgage purchase applications index fell 12.6% versus plus 9% in the previous week. The refi index rose 2.6% versus 16.1%. The 30-year fixed fell 7 bps to 6.16%.

What you are now witnessing is the slow motion destruction of the CRIMEX, formerly known as the COMEX, a commodities futures market which is supposed to provide a means for producers to hedge their products, but which has morphed into a rigged casino where commodities that don't exist are traded as if they did for prices that exist only in the fairytales woven by the Illuminati, who control the exchange.

How, they asked, could we have gotten into this disaster if bad investments were properly weeded out in a timely manner by the markets, and were not allowed to accumulate to such devastating levels of toxicity, as they should have been in such a system? These people are either morons, or liars, or both.

The pricing between these two types of markets is now completely out of sink, with the casinos, which some dare to call commodity markets, utilizing bogus manipulated prices based on paper sales of precious metals in volumes that do not physically exist, while the physical markets have become a de facto black market where the true value of gold and silver is recognized based on market fundamentals.

What happens in December regarding the gold and silver Comex futures contracts will be very important. Will there be default? We’ll find out in seven weeks. This may be the last stage of the gold battle, but the price will continue to rise. The financial battle won’t be over for sometime to come. The bailouts are for Illuminists not for the people. The system will still encounter hyperinflation followed by purging and eventual depression. The dollar will be almost totally debased. These people do not care; they own gold just like you do. They know as you do creating more debt to solve a debt problem can’t work. The Fed and the Treasury can’t print enough money to cover up this collapsed.

It seems like new Fed facilities are now being created on a daily basis. Soon everyone will be asking what the facility du jour is on any given day. The latest Fed facility is up to $540 billion in financing to be doled out though a program run by JP Morgan Chase & Co. to purchase from mutual funds certificates of deposit, bank notes and commercial paper. The program, to be called the Money Market Investor Funding Facility, is designed to revive the market for commercial paper, which consists of the critical short-term loans used to fund the liquidity needs of most major businesses.

Gold and silver continue to be manipulated so that there is a dichotomy between the physical and paper markets. This is due to SEC strong-arming by its ban on shorting of financial stocks, and the threat of extending that ban and the potential for requiring public disclosure of short positions. This was done to remove specs from the COMEX and TOCOM by threatening to destroy their profitability in shorts, which is the only place you can consistently make big money under current market conditions.

Unfortunately what we predicted for the market on Saturday became a reality quickly on Monday early. The bear market is upon us, all regular stock and stock funds should be sold even after Dow has fallen 4,000 points. Only keep gold, silver shares and perhaps oil and gas and special situations. There will be a handful of stocks that will run counter to the market. Early Monday was a bloodbath worldwide. In spite of the carnage the US Treasury the Fed and other central banks insist on manipulating the dollar upward. A dollar that now seems to have decoupled from gold and silver.

This is why all the shareholders in these zombie-acquisition deals are getting vaporized. Their assets were more valuable than they thought, because unbeknownst to them, the US government was about to pay far more for these assets than they were worth.

Gold and silver went on a moon shot this week, with gold setting a new all-time record for a one-day increase in value. That is what happens when you keep pressing on the lid of a pressure cooker, trying to keep boiling, molten precious metals from escaping. Aiding gold and silver was the unraveling of longs in the USDX futures market, who were forced to cover because they had pushed the dollar up as far as it could go.

We can assure you that the Illuminati themselves are now scarping up gold and silver like it was going out of style, adding more bullion to their already gargantuan hoards. This is there failsafe asset, being hard bullion instead of fiat paper, and it may serve to back a new regional currency, and later a world currency, to be issued by private banks free of government regulation and interference, meaning the banks will be able to do as they please.

It was unusual for the powers behind government to take on the Fannie and Freddie bailout two months before a general election. They had to be desperate to do so. It is a major admission that the socialist, fascistic program of FDR didn’t work. The phony dollar rally will end and only one investment will remain gold and silver. The dollar is way over-bought (over manipulated), and gold and silver are way over-sold (manipulated.) the world is in deep trouble and there is only one place to be and that is in gold and silver related assets.

When we broke over $850 gold we pierced the old 1980 high of $850 an ounce, we began stage 2 of a 3 or perhaps 4 stage bull market. Gold attained $1,033 in March and due to government intervention we have tested the $775-$800 range three times putting in what we see as a trading bottom. At these levels it is probably the best time to invest because you should be able to buy cheaper than in this current zone. This could be the last inexpensive train out of the station.

This past Thursday, when the Dow received a 344+ point haircut, or should we call it a brush-cut, some in the media wondered why this huge loss had occurred? Well, pardon us, but could the root cause be that the doomed US financial system has now moved past the event horizon of a super-massive financial black hole, which was recently created by the gravitational collapse of the Subprime Death-Star's constituent mass of fraud and deceit when its internal furnace, fueled by the fusion of toxic waste bond tranches into sucker-dupe real estate derivatives, finally burned out, thanks to the advice of analyst Meredith Whitney at Oppenheimer & Co.?

To be sure, it will be a whole lot of both, unfortunately.

Gold is more oversold than in June of 2006. This is the sharpest correction in the 48 years I’ve been tracking these markets. In May and June gold fell 25% and silver 41%. The HUI fell 33% and this time silver 35%. As we said it is de-leveraging, central bank lease-sales and naked shorting. When real interest rates, that is bond yields less CPI, gold soars. The rate is minus 0.3871, which tells us that the Fed may be planning to drop interest rates. If that were to happen gold would rocket, which could explain the preemptive gold attack.

Over the past 37 years since gold was abandoned and the dollar became a fiat currency, every time the economy got into trouble interest rates were lowered and the supply of money and credit was increased.

Not only are our various stock, bond, derivative and commodity markets no longer free due to their 24/7 molestation at the hands of the PPT, they are manipulated in diabolical ways to hide the destruction of our economy, and also to throw people off the trail of cause and effect.

Yes, our German philosopher was humorously correct. Any time people are prospering like we were just before August 15, 1971, the day that will live in infamy when Nixon took us completely off the gold standard, the sheople will find a way not to prosper anymore. And happily helping them on their way to destruction have been the Illuminati, who wanted to have a monopoly on prosperity.

As we discussed in the last issue there are a number of ideas about to stop investment speculation in commodities, particularly in energy, grains and beans. We believe it is impractical to ban speculation because funds would move to other commodity exchanges and legislation would result in currency controls and the end of free trade and globalization. It would in the long run be inefficient and counterproductive.

Everything the cartel does is geared into keeping both professional and private investors out of precious metals. The so-called "wall of worry" which any given market is said to climb, is nothing more than a false, fraudulent front of disinformation which is created by elitist insiders on Wall Street, in our government and in corporate America, in order to scare people out of any market from which the elitists wish to profit.

The ongoing destruction of our economy and the free trade agenda were energized during the period of the Bush-Clinton-Bush triple whammy of Presidential Administrations, and all of their nefarious dealings were assisted by Reagan's Executive Order creating the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, also known as the PPT.

The "sucker's rally" in the general stock markets took a big-time sucker punch from the cartel as the short-covering from the rolling over of gold futures from June 08 to August 08 kept upward pressure on the price of gold, which finished up $26.50 for the week, as silver joined the party by adding $1.31 per ounce. The cartel has now expended 550 Dow points of market-crashing power to drain liquidity from the specs to put pressure on precious metals.

We ask the US public to consider all the above while the dollar continues its collapse on Wednesday to below 72 and while oil simultaneously tops $130 per barrel for the first time ever. So much for any recovery of the US economy as consumers, which drive seventy percent of our economic activity, get blasted into oblivion, and as all the added costs for fuel drive inflation across the board to new and unheard of levels.

We have entered the eye of the storm as the BLS takes this opportunity to give us another lie about inflation, which is so preposterous that they have become the laughing stock of the financial community. If you can believe that core CPI was .1% and regular CPI was .2% last month, then you probably still believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and by the way, we have a bridge for sale over the East River that connects Brooklyn and Manhattan - real cheap.

The long line of exposure of debt problems by major and minor corporate entities has a long way to go. The signals by the Fed, Treasury and some corporate leaders that the credit crisis is over is very misleading, as we see one corporation after another declare some of their losses. From our vantage point we are nowhere out of the woods.

If the American public wants oil prices to come down, the easiest solution is simply to buy gold and silver by the truckload. Wait until you see how far the cartel can drive oil prices down when gold blows past 1000 on its way to 2000! Forget energy alternatives, which will take years to implement. Just exchange some of your "worthless paper" for the only real money and we absolutely guarantee that oil prices will drop like a rock no matter how much OPEC yells and screams.

Another factor that everyone keeps passing over is that we now have the potential for a dollar carry trade. If you are a large bank, just come on over to the US and get your 2.25% interbank or 2.5% discount window dollar-denominated loan, and use your loan proceeds to buy euros so you can get better-yielding German Bunds denominated in a currency that is appreciating against the dollar.

What everyone keeps forgetting is that bond prices are at 50-year highs due to plummeting rates of interest that are destroying the dollar. If the Fed keeps lowering rates, speculation and inflation will get worse, and gold will soar. But if they start to stabilize rates, or to raise them to support the dollar, bond principal will get cremated and a goodly portion of those many trillions of dollars in bonds will flee in terror and find their way to precious metals as a safe-haven and inflation hedge.

We believe the demise of Bear Stearns was planned months if not years ago. The tip-off was Randal Quarles’ statements. He was formerly Under Secretary of the Treasury and it was he who led the Treasury Department’s effort in the coordination of the President’s “Working Group on Financial Markets” and is currently Managing Director of the Carlyle Group. As we explained many times before these Illuminists float from one position to another in and out of the government.

We believe the biggest costs to the gold and silver mining industry are history and that should positively affect the bottom line for producers. Profit margins should improve steadily at these prices as the year moves on. Needless to say, higher prices for gold and silver will embellish the results. Progress in prices since June 2000 has been retarded by market manipulation by our government, but in spite of that progress has been good. From here on out we should see sharply higher share prices.

The derivative securities known as "toxic waste" that are in the process of taking down the entire worldwide financial system and that were created by the obtuse "financial engineering" efforts of the halfwit Illuminists who came up with this scheme, were characterized by Warren Buffet some years ago as "financial weapons of mass destruction." The mortgage-backed securities known as MBS's, which took on various forms such as CDO's, CMO's, SIV's and other subprime, and now Alt-A and prime, alphabet derivatives, form the part of the WMD arsenal known as "neutron bombs."

As spot gold went screaming past 1000 on Friday, to close in the aftermarket at an all-time closing high of 1002.50, the yen went ripping through 100, to as low as 99.2560 as of 3 pm EDT just as the COMEX closed, which is a 12-year high against the dollar. If you wanted proof in spades that the yen is being used to hit precious metals by causing the carry trade to unwind and create a giant margin-call inducing liquidity drain, here it is "in yo' face!"
