By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. John Maynard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace Sometimes, perhaps all too often; investors, traders, economists, and mainstream media anchors miss the forest and see only the trees growing to the sky or crashing to the floor.

To provide some context on the markets, we present the first of three posts of long-term chart series and by long-term we mean more than a few decades of well-chosen trends - stock, bond, gold, commodity, and US Dollar prices for the last years Of course, as we have noted in the past, Nothing lasts forever These are terrific charts.

Take a look at the Coinage Act of Section 19 may be a call to all guillotine rollers:. Because the founders of this now lost Republic recognized that counterfeiting was so much an evil that they deemed it punishable only by death.

So, the question us slaves to the Lost Republic must now be deliberating outside of our spoon-fed and kid-glove managed circuses is:. Must we be lesser men than the founders of the greatest anamoly in 10, years of civilizations? You're sounding pretty terroristic there, buddy. I might have to dial ALL-USSA. Point is, we can't truly, honestly produce an 'inflation' number assuming you are talking about price increases due to an increase in the money supply.

If you leave the money supply alone, or tie it directly to gold, which then only increases at the rate of gold production at the most, then you get trends like the so-called "Long Depression" in the chart above, where interest rates and commodities take a linear dive down, while the money supply is essentially flat.

Price of gold was fixed since we were on a gold-standard then. But THAT so-called depression was nothing of the sort.

Conversely, you can inflate the money supply, but if you inflate it by less than actual GDP growth, then commodity prices all else remaining static or stable would still trend down. You have introduced monetary inflation, but still haven't produced YOY price hikes. Yes the prices have been floated higher, but not enough to turn positive YOY. Then compare that to the trend-line for commodity prices, where you show an average line that is flat up until , and then hockey-sticks up at 45 degrees from to present.

I'm pretty sure the govt CPI chart is significantly flatter than a hockey stick. The difference between those two charts is a rough indication of how much just the price increases due to monetary inflation differs from the govt propaganda to the reality. Of course, THEN derive a deflator number from the inflation number suggested by the commodity chart above, and apply that to the raw GDP figures to come up with a corrected GDP chart for all of US history.

You WILL see that we have been in recession for much longer periods than the govt officially recognizes, and we may be in a recession right now. Of course, it is also true that if you just use current govt. Sadly, most people don't realize that the natural price for most everything SHOULD have been falling all these years since , absent monetary inflation, just like during the Long Depression, NOT rising.

Heck, oil and gasoline are possibly cheaper right now in real terms than they were 30 and 50 years ago. The rise in purchasing power that should have naturally come to holders of dollars was rightfully theirs. Instead, we have a rape of purchasing power since Inflation as practiced today benefits leveraged bankers and traders, and the govt.

My point was to say that I appreciated your post, it was good. This is still the law of the land. But we live in a world where the government breaks the law all day long, and we are powerless to stop it. Meanwhile there is a culture of lionizing our "brave men and women in uniform," which I think is stupid. Following orders issued by obvious criminals is obviously wrong.

They need to stop fighting wars for the convenience of an illegitimate government. But standing up, and refusing to go requires courage. They obviously have none. Any offense to you on my part was directed because of my then wrong point of view. Hurry the governments contradictions to their inevitable end so all the world can see them clearer.

ALWAYS tell two friends to tell two friends until they snap out of their life long indoctrinated hypnosis. You went from thin-skinned to delusional.

Yes, they'll do what we won't do. But we share in the punishment, as we rightfully should. It's an obligation too. An obligation we have ignored. I would like it if the people in this country who take oaths to "defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic" would actually start doing that.

Is it too much to ask? I got an email from Oath Keepers the other day: I thought, "what's next, a bake sale? That is surely a noteworthy historical quote, BUT, then too superficial a conclusion you drew OC Sure. As one goes back in time, the situation becomes relatively simpler. As we rush forward the situation becomes more hyper-complex and entangled. Since the vast majority of people LIVE WITHIN SYSTEMS THAT THEY TAKE FOR GRANTED, they are able to ignore the basic realities which underpin their situation.

That is especially possible because of the way that social habits can simply cruise on an inertial autopilot through the generations, for most of the people who take their situation for granted, and operate within systems which they do not understand and do not want to understand. Anyway, I too thought the charts in that article were terrifically interesting.

The most remarkable was the interest rate chart, which demonstrated the greatest degree of arbitrary manipulation made possible by the power of central banks. The power of central banks illustrates the way that human laws are connected to natural laws by the ability of violence to back up lies.

Indeed, that is a hyper-complicated and convoluted tangle, especially since the most successful violence depends upon dishonesty to be successful. Thus, the power of central banks to be able to do astonishing things, like manipulate the interest rates for the whole system, was due to the history of being able to apply the methods of organized crime, in order to corrupt the government enough to create the runaway powers of central banks.

Money is primarily a symbol of human coercion, which can develop relative dynamic equilibria which permit that money to become a symbol of human cooperation in some circumstances. The runaway printing presses of paper fiat money were still backed by murder, through governmental power requiring payment of taxes in that deemed legal tender. However, of course, the printing presses were superseded by electronic fiat money frauds, still backed by the force of governments.

In that context, it is nostalgic nonsense to advance the old-fashioned "solution" based on the notion that: Examples of the value of money being backed by murder, in the form of death penalties for counterfeiting, can be found from Ancient Greece to Early America, as well as many other times and places in between. Actually, that never stopped, and can never stop. Rather, what actually happened was the the best of the best death controls, in the form of subtle organized crime, were applied persistently and triumphantly by the international banksters, in order to get the government to legalize private banks making the public money supply out of nothing, as debts.

Money was still backed by murder. However, the most important form in which that murder manifested was through the assassination of politicians that could not be bribed or intimidated. The current American central banking system, which became the most predominant particular central bank in the world, is due to the ways that money is backed by murder, becoming more sophisticated, so that the money system became sophisticated debt slavery, which ensnared the whole population.

However, the degree of historical success of warfare based on deceits, upon which was built financialization based on frauds, has been most successful in being able to brainwash almost everyone to believe in the biggest bullies' bullshit stories, and therefore, for the controlled opposition to propose bullshit "solutions" which continue to be based on the same old-fashioned false fundamental dichotomies, and their related impossible ideals, such as reactionary revolution recommendations that "It is time to stop the printing presses.

The deeper truth about early American money being measurement backed by murder actually represents that that is the universally necessary situation. It is impossible for money to ever be anything else than measurement backed by murder. The only better money requires better murder to back that up.

Of course, that makes that problem become almost infinitely more difficult and dangerous than any facile notions about stopping the printing presses, or going back to gold and silver backed money.

What is most tragic is the degree of runaway disequilibria that now manifests through the monetary system, whereby the American military is engaged in death controls directed by the maximum possible deceits, which are backing up American money debt controls based on the maximum possible frauds.

Therefore, those established systems have driven the debt slavery to generate numbers which are threatening to result in death insanities. Anyway, the real moral to your quotation, OC Sure, is NOT that "it is time to stop the printing presses," nor the electronic generation of fiat money but rather, it should be time to understand the ways that the political economy operates within the human ecology, because the debt controls were always necessarily backed up by the death controls.

However, the main theme of our times is using astonishingly improved special effects to tell the same old stupid stories. Therefore, we have globalized electronic fiat money frauds, backed by the threat of the force of weapons of mass destruction.

Clearly, the value of the money is still backed up by murder, but on a scale that no individual could fully comprehend anymore.

That is even more emphatically the case due to the emergence of industrial ecologies, which are even more insanely disassociated from the currently operating political economy than the human ecology already was.

That is the context in which I ubiquitously observe the various kinds of reactionary revolutionaries, who do good historical analysis, up to a point, but then collapse back to old-fashioned bullshit "solutions," as you did OC Sure, by pointing out the death penalty for counterfeiting the Early American public money supply, but then recommended that "It is time to stop the printing presses.

I have the same view towards those who recommend going back to gold and silver backed money as I do towards those who believe that cryptocurrencies are the solution. Neither address the realities of the necessarily existing deeper issues that money is backed by murder. All the various notions about going back to commodity backed money are non-starters unless murder was included in the basket of commodities. Similarly, crytocurrencies are actually a parasite on top of a parasite, which are even further removed from the realities that money is backed by murder, which they still depend upon taking for granted in order to be able to function.

The only genuine solutions are to perhaps develop better dynamic equilibria between the different systems of organized lies, operating organized robberies. The crucial problem that we are facing today is the paradox of the final failure from too much success by the international banksters being able to corrupt governments, so that the power to rob and kill provided by those governments backing up the money-as-debt systems have driven the resulting debt slavery numbers to become debt insanity numbers.

The only genuine solutions are better organized crime, because the only way that money exists is because measurement backed by murder exists. Those who propose "solutions" that there should not be any money at all are proposing even more bullshit than those who recommend going backwards to gold and silver backed money, or those who propose going forward to cryptocurrencies.

Money must exist due to the basic nature of how minds work to make models of their world, with a model of themselves within their model of the world. Those minds must take measurements, and those measurements only have meaning if they are enforced, with murder being the bottom line of that enforcement. American money began as measurement backed by murder, but then, that became more and more hyper-complicated and convoluted, as the best organized gangs of criminals were able to take over more and more control of the political processes, and thereby more and more legalize their own crimes.

However, there are no real solutions to those problems to be found which are based on stopping money being measurement backed by murder. The only good resolutions would require a series of intellectual scientific revolutions, beginning in the philosophy of science, to correct the errors made there due to the biggest bullies' bullshit deforming that to suit their interests and attitudes, which corrections could then form the basis to apply general energy systems concepts to politics, and especially to militarism.

Nothing less than that could become theoretically workable, despite how practically impossible that appears to be at the present time. As science and technology possibly continue to advance at an exponential rate, and perhaps continue to make a series of quantum leaps in their basic paradigms and potentials, the days of being able to still tell the same old stupid social stories, using way more fantastic special effects, are a limited and dwindling number.

The basic realities continue being systems of organized lies, operating organized robberies, within which money is measurement backed by murder. Those basic realities have been pumped up by technologies which have become trillions of times more capable and powerful.

However, faced with the runaway problems of globalized electronic fiat money frauds, backed by atomic bombs, there are NO good solutions which can either go backwards, nor partially forwards, that fail to address the deeper dilemmas regarding that money is measurement backed by murder. The invention of the zipper in Hoboken, NJ? That wasn't evil at work - it was just some clever Swedish dude.

My Au holdings are much greater than my BTC, so I can suffer a little "price action" without losing any sleep over it, LOL Education sometimes costs money!

But, if I understand BTC correctly and that there are no backdoors in the encryption programs , I think that this will be a nice little speculation! Good article on the Mr. Gox has built an exchange based on a hodgepodge of technologies that are really not suitable for running an exchange. Only one chart missing, oil pumped out of the ground: WOW, that chart is AMAZING. If only all charts would be drawn out to , we'd be set for life!!!

If you like your charts you can keep it. The only time people are concern with trends is when there on the right side of them other wise its off to watch Dancing with Stars. The United States has turned into a giant socialist European "Shit Hole! Don't need a strongman when you have moralistic one-party rule. Try getting a conseervative speaker at an Ivy League school. Tyranny of the masses. I think being more adaptable like Zimbabwe is now is the way to go plus gold and silver money also.
