Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

We Are Here

If we use the statistical parameters of the 1980's, our inflation rate, today, is 10.7%  (Not zero as the Obama government reports).

Real unemployment is around 18% and rising. (Not 9%)  As government workers get fired, as is now starting as the age of stupidity comes to an end, and people fall off unemployment, the rate will push quickly into the 20 - 25 percent area.

If all the banks crashed two years ago and the FDIC had to pay all the persons insured, it would have paid less that 50% of what the the banks got as transfers from you, sorry the government.

Three of my favorite sources say that if there is no new "easing" of the debt by June (i.e. remove the debt limit so we can give away more trillions) the dollar collapses.  Look at gold from $6,000 to $25,000 an ounce.  Of course, this is not an investment - it is staying even with inflation.  Get this straight.  If you are in dollar investments, not engaged in foreign investments, your investment will crash.  Understand, what is good for Wall Street is good for Wall Street, as it is a transfer of your money to them (once it is printed up.)

Mr. Forbes predicts a gold standard soon.  It would take five years to implement. Thereafter, there is no need for the FED.

Oil will skyrocket, along with food, coffee, etc.  Any item that depends on foreign nations being paid with dollars is on the launching pad. This is already happening, but is a well hidden item, unless you are looking clearly.  Smart money is preparing.  Key in the word "smart."

PIMCO, the worlds largest bond house, an American company, does not buy US Treasuries. Understand what this means. China has stopped buying, in any size, for four months.  We have been living off the greatness of previous generations and, now, the profligate children find themselves crushed.  Once the dollar is detached from being the exchange medium for oil, Obama has succeeded in turning us into a has been in need of Marxism.

If silver, now just under $40 per ounces (I told you to buy at 11) were valued according to 1980s parameters, when Hunt brothers were at work, it would be $850.  Understand where we are and do not use old ideas of "money."  What did you think when I said buy at $11, 12, 14?   Investment houses, your experts, DO NOT WANT YOU TO BUY METALS.  They want you to buy paper.  Why would you think they are in  your corner?

These are the times I warned against. It is almost too late to prepare.  Just get our of the dollar or US based investments.  Now.

On the other hand, get any fixed mortgage you can find.   Own things.  Don't count on your retirement, pension, or even social security.  Seriously.

And, to repeat myself, stock up on coffee and peanut butter.  New item:  the government in all its guises is after you.  You will see the animal's fangs each day. It is feeling hunger pangs. The local school district spends $19,000 per student while the catholic school in Saratoga spends $8,500 and has a 99% entry into college.  Gluttons die first, but they have fangs. Don't speed, for one thing.

Look around.

Perhaps, I am not crazy.

Birther revisited

I can't believe I am back at looking at Hawaiian birth certificates.  If you recall, I did so before the election and noted the problems that came up  - and were ignored.  Anyway, this entry is weird.  A blog person was looking at the recently released, allegedly certified birth certificate of Mr. Obama. Mildly interesting:

There really is a problem with the "4 ," but that would only be an interesting conspiracy theory fact.  The  August 4 is clearly not in line with the year. Clearly, the form was reinserted to be typed is original.  Anyway, 

Here is the new certificate:



I took note of the various pixel anomalies found by the blog author and how hand drawn boxes are identical re pixels, the logical implication being one was cut and pasted, but I looked at the document like a normal person:  The number is 61-10641 and the birthday is August 4th.  

Twins were born the next day in the same place (the pixel people think those were the basis of a forgery). Here is are the forms.



You can look up the documents on your own to verify this, but the twins who were born on 

APRIL 5, 1961:  Certificates:  61-10637 abd 61-10638

Mr. Obama: 

APRIL 4, 1961:  Certificate 6-10641

So, the first question a good trial lawyer would ask is: 


How is it the twins were born the day after and have earlier numbers?

If this is not explained, people should go to jail.  

I have been dubious of the certificate of live birth, but found it sufficient to complain that Mr. Obama was a born a British subject, but, now, I am a birther.  

Please let me know what I am missing, if anything?

Enjoying serfdom?

John Maynard Keynes:

 By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.
