BRIC, the nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa are creating a development bank to compete against the World Bank.  This does not appear too troubling at first, but based on reports I have heard in the last few years, this is the first step in replacing the dollar as the internationally traded currency for oil.  Brazil was the first country to abandon the dollar for oil, paying Iran in gold.  When and if this transition away from the dollar occurs we are looking at financial armageddon the likes of which has never been seen.   Its getting very real people.

With infinite Quantitative Easement keeping our interest rates artificially low, and the recent overblown hyperbole about sequestration keeping our blood pressure up (the only cuts were in the rate of increase of FUTURE spending), one could wonder why the stock market hit an all time high yesterday.  Let me give you a hint, it has to do with more government meddling in the free market, namely the Federal Reserve pumping cash into the system at a break neck speed.  This news came on the heels of reports of Fortune 500 CEO’s dumping their American Stocks….such as Warren Buffet, Jim Balsillie (Blackberry), John Paulson, and George Soros.  The best explanation I have read so far is from Roy Harris and is here.  http://rbcbankcollapse.blogspot.com/2013/03/billionaires-dumping-stocks-economist.html. Whatever is occurring behind the scenes right now, Jim Cramer from CNBC said it best “we all know it’s going to end badly, but in the meantime we can make some money”

In an oh so unsurprising reversal, the weak kneed and lilly-willed speaker of the house John Boehner said on Thursday that the repeal of Obamacare would no longer be his mission.  They will not repeal Obamacare, they never intended to.

The tax that is not a tax, that was passed by the Supreme Court illegally (a tax must originate in the house), under the farce of the interstate commerce…

Well, to put it bluntly, this is what you are looking forward to:

Sarah Palin is somewhere, and I bet she’s gloating.  What we were told was crazy, uneducated, right wing rhetoric, appears to be occurring before our eyes; it’s just not called a death panel.  It’s called “rationing”.  Sounds great huh?

Seal of the United States Federal Reserve System. The seal has most of the elements of the Board of Governors seal.

The Federal Reserve is buying nearly all of the United States’ deficit through its Quantitative Easing program (QE1, Qe2, and now QE Infinity).  Economists are worried because of the scarce room to maneuver in case of an another unforeseen crisis.

Federal regulations and ongoing Obamacare regulations are estimated to cost $1.8 Trillion dollars annually, up from the administration’s estimated $88 Billion dollars.

The Examiner reports below:

As a reminder $1.8 Trillion is about 1/8 the current National Debt for all time, and this is to be spent EVERY YEAR.
