Stoneleigh: Deflation 06-12-2010

You've heard the concept of extreme deflation first from Stoneleigh!

Here a look at extreme deflation cased by a severe depression where credit dries up, asset prices, fall, the currency fails, and long supply chains become localized. The energy (oil) bubble that's fed the financial bubble will pop the bubble as the world surpasses peak oil. It's just around the corner. Stoneleigh wants to prepare you.

So it's a question of hyperinflation vs. hyperdeflation. Which route will the currency take?

I guess enjoy spending your dollars while they still have value and there's still oil around. Finish that trip you've always wanted to take!

Here's Stoneleigh (her website is The Automatic Earth, http://theautomaticearth.blogspot.com) speaking at the Transition Network Conference in the UK on 06-12-2010. I thought the Q&A was more informative so I'll put it ahead of the speech.

The History behind Halloween

TRICK OR TREAT!

The history is 2000 years old. The Celtic New Year marked the end of harvest season come October 31 and this was celebrated. The church adopted it and changed it here and there. Then the Irish brought the celebration over in the 1840s during the wave of potato famines. It first started as harmless tricks but it turned to blackmail and extortion in the 1930s. Give them candy or lose your house! I guess to put it in modern context, the homeowner might get threatened with torture?

Ravi Batra on Thom Hartmann Show 05-27-2009

Here is Ravi Batra, the author of Greenspan's fraud, on Thom Hartmann's show, calling for a stock market drop steeper than the one we just went through. Currently, we are in the quiet phase, and the steep drop will begin in July. Once this slide begins, we'll hit depression around December. Ravi Batra recommends gold as dollar will devalue to previous levels to where it was a year ago (around 70). He also says the current run up in oil prices is due to speculation by Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch USING OUR BAILOUT MONEY AGAINST US!

Patrick Byrne: Overstock.com CEO right on the ball!

Patriot first and Overstock.com CEO second, Patrick Byrne has been forecasting the collapse built on fraud and corruption in the financial system for many years. When was the last time you saw a CEO concerned about his country? When was the last time you saw a CEO of a public corporation get it right when it came to economic forecasts?

Patrick Byrne has been running a site called Deep Capture wherein the regulators have been 'captured' by the people that the regulators are supposed to be regulating. Phew! What a mountful! Furthermore, he talks about all the financial shenigans such as naked shorts, phantom stocks, and going down the rabbit hole deeper and deeper and finding more and more corruption!

Patrick Byrne's 'take it to the bank' forecasts


Folks, you might be buying counterfeit stock shares. The big boys may have flooded the stock market with phantom stocks which you may be buying from your stock broker! Investigations do not happen into the privately owned trading outfit which handles trillions of dollars in trades (96% of all trades) per day. It's all a secret. No one is supposed to find out. There are talks of grandfathering all the fraud. Is the fraud so large? No one knows... All this in his interview back all the way in 2007 with
