SCHEDULED ISSUES
Every Wednesday and Saturday June 2009

US MARKETS
The Part 2 of this dissertation (continued from last issue)
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.
Note that Baron Rothschild started and bankrolled the War of 1812 when the
first private US central bank charter was not renewed by our then gutsy Congress,
which, unlike our current corrupt and cowardly Congress, saw through the ruse of the
British crown, which was attempting to take back its colonies via monetary extortion.
Lincoln made the mistake of not backing US notes with gold and silver as
required by our Constitution, an error that was confirmed as being a mistake by the
Supreme Court of the United States, and the US notes that were used to fund the
Civil War efforts of the North soon became worthless, triggering a long, hard,
devastating depression in the 1870's. President Kennedy was assassinated before
Executive Order 11110 could be implemented, and the Fed was allowed to continue
on with its blatant criminality.
You might also note that Presidents Garfield and McKinley were both ardently
opposed to the idea of a private central bank, and we know what happened to them.
Andrew Jackson, who the Illuminists tried to assassinate on multiple occasions, was

3
our most vehement objector to a private central bank, and his face now appears on the
front of a twenty dollar bill. If he was alive today, he would throw a "hissy fit" the likes
of which has never been recorded in human history. This is the way the Illuminists
chose to rub Jackson's face in their final victory to establish a private central bank with
the passing of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, albeit their insult was delivered
posthumously. In addition, President Lincoln's face is on the front of a five dollar bill,
which is yet another posthumous insult to the leader who rejected the European
Illuminists and their private banking interests. Next we'll see President Kennedy's face
on the front of a thousand dollar bill, which will be created so that you don't need a
wheelbarrow to cart around the cash necessary to pay the ridiculously high prices of
goods and services that will be caused by the coming hyperinflation. On second
thought, let's not give them any more ideas!
So, in the case of the Federal Reserve Note (which is a private note backed by
the full faith and credit of the US government, and not a US note issued directly from
the US Treasury), do these two ingredients for the creation of hyperinflation exist?
Currency speculators we always have, but are the Fed and our Treasury Department
corrupt enough to keep printing the dollar so speculators can short it into oblivion by
creating a dollar carry trade? Is the Pope a Catholic? Does a bear crap in the woods?
So the answer to that question is: Abso-freaking-lutely!!!
But the Illuminists had a problem. They could not print money, thus creating an
interest-bearing debt for the US government, without the consent of the US Treasury,
which was in turn limited as to how much it could borrow by the US Congress. So how
on earth could they get the Treasury and Congress to spend a totally unprecedented
amount money by borrowing it at interest from the Fed, which then creates it out of thin
air, such that hyperinflation, and the destruction of the US economy to pave the way
for world government, is accomplished as the desired and ultimate end? The politics
of such a move would be horrendous unless justified by an extremely compelling
reason.
Naturally, they would have to start their sting operation by buying off or
compromising the Executive Branch and its various Departments, especially the
Treasury Department, as well as the Legislative Branch, the Judicial Branch, and most
of the relevant regulatory agencies, which they had very nearly accomplished already
in any case when they put their plans for a hyperinflationary recession, followed by a
deflationary depression, into motion. And remember, the ultimate aim of this sting
operation is to take down the US economy, along with the economies of Canada and
most of Western Europe, to pave the way for world government, which they will
attempt to put into place in the ensuing chaos.
So what is an Illuminist with a compelling desire for hyperinflation to do? We'll
tell you what they did.
They started by having the Fed create profligate amounts of money and credit
well beyond the amounts necessary to absorb any increases in production, thus
creating an elevated level of inflation for almost two decades. They continuously lied
officially about the rate of inflation by understating it. This was done to cover up their
destruction of our economy via free trade and globalization by creating bogus
increases in production that were just inflation in disguise. This inflation was
implemented to get us started down the road to economic destruction from which a
hyperinflationary environment could be created.
To take us out of recession, and prevent the purging which our economy
needed from the destruction wreaked in the early 1990's in the aftermath of the
Savings and Loan Crisis and the collapse of the real estate market, both of which they
also created, they pushed tech stocks into a dot.com bubble, followed by a real estate

4
bubble to cover up the dot.com destruction, which real estate was then re-bubbled
after 9/11 via ultra-low interest rates and their if-you-can-fog-a-mirror-you-can-have-a-
mortgage-loan policy. This was done to keep the debt snowball rolling, and to prevent
the purging of losses from fraud and speculation out of our economy by keeping those
losses in the system so they could later become the reason for future defaults, losses
and bailouts that would help lead us into hyperinflation when the Illuminati were ready.
They engineered the 9/11 false flag attack to take US citizens, via fraudulent
intelligence, into a multi-trillion dollar, two-front war in Iraq and Afghanistan to get the
big spending sprees started. These were wars for profit intended to enrich Illuminists
while simultaneously bankrupting America and pushing us down the road to
hyperinflation.
They bankrupted the Social Security system by stealing from its reserves to
pay for Illuminist pork projects and benefits for illegal immigrants (slave labor), drove
up medical and pharmaceutical costs, and created an entitlement indebtedness in the
tens of trillions of dollars that they know can never be repaid, thus ensuring the
destruction of the dollar by curtailing the ability of the US to repay its creditors, and
providing a backdrop for huge bailouts and expenditures to keep paying out benefits
and to fund medical insurance reforms that can only be paid for through debt
monetizations that will propel us toward hyperinflation.
They got rid of the Glass, Steagall Act via the Gramm, Leach, Bliley Act so they
could defraud investors with new flimflam financial products in the complete absence
of any checks and balances. They deregulated the already opaque OTC derivative
market with the Commodity Futures Modernization Act so that derivatives could be
issued naked (without collateral backing the guarantees against default) to back
securities that in many cases were not even owned by the buyers of derivatives
backing those securities (credit default swaps), and further allowed investors to
gamble on interest rates (interest rate swaps), thus turning the entire OTC derivatives
market into a gambling casino. They continued to foster mortgage and other
consumer loan fraud, via liar loans, false appraisals, slack credit standards, false
derivative ratings and fraudulent derivative sales, using Fannie, Freddie and the
unregulated OTC derivative market to accomplish their dirty work until a Quadrillion
Dollar Derivative Death Star was created. All of this fraud was allowed in order to
plant and build a fatal flaw into the entire debt system, and this flaw would be used to
ignite the Derivative Death Star, and start the bankster-gangster bailouts that will
eventually run into the tens of trillions of dollars unless stopped by US citizens. How's
that for spending us into hyperinflation!
They also allowed investment banks to use 40 or even as much as 60 to 1
leverage to fund the Derivative Death Star, and allowed commercial banks to reduce
their reserve requirements to unprecedented levels. They increased money and credit
to psychopathic levels to feed the hedge funds, pensions funds, endowment funds,
and sovereign wealth funds, which then went berserk on a wild spending binge, thus
driving stock and bond prices up to ludicrous levels, which have now imploded or are
in the process of imploding, thus giving more cause for bailouts and profligate
borrowing and spending by our government at taxpayer expense, once again
socializing losses after profits have been privatized.
By exposing the fatal flaw just alluded to that was built into the debt system via
rampant fraud, they created an implosion of financial markets by showing how
vulnerable, flawed and over-rated derivatives really were (in this case, the exposure of
the fatal flaw may have happened sooner than planned by an untoward event, thus
throwing a wrench into the works), and set up the 19 anointed financial institutions,
and the Fed, as too-big-to-fail institutions, and made sure that no Illuminist companies

5
were allowed to fail. Instead of allowing failure through bankruptcies to purge the
economy, they bailed out Illuminist banks and corporations in typical crony capitalist
fashion at taxpayer expense, thus socializing losses after profits had been grandly
earned and privatized, using the oh-we-can't-let-this-happen routine and the fear of
increased unemployment and horrendous amounts of asset losses, which will of
course occur anyway further down the road, but this time on steroids. Needless to
say, non-anointed companies can go suck an egg.
They hid the losses of Illuminist-anointed financial institutions via false
accounting which was approved by "regulators," and caused the BLS and other
government agencies to lie about every known economic statistic, in order to convince
taxpayers and private investors that there are Green Shoots and that they should once
again invest in these zombie institutions which later will implode, thus rendering the
stock worthless. In the meanwhile, they allowed non-Illuminist companies to fail, thus
reducing their competition and consolidating their power. They then had their
government flunkies create fascistic, socialized spending programs, and termed the
first of what will be many such programs as an "economic stimulus," when in reality
these are all going to be nothing more than flash-in-the-pan, pork-laden masterpieces
of profligate spending that stimulate nothing, create few if any permanent jobs, and
virtually ignore the middle class, which got a token tax break - big deal. As the
economy unravels, they will just keep up the same oh-we-can't-let-this-happen routine,
and continue to play on taxpayer fears while they totally ignore the Constitution which
in no way authorizes these bailouts of private companies on a secret, crony-capitalist
basis, which bailouts are also being extended to foreign banks and corporations stung
by the Illuminist derivative fraud (hence the lack of lawsuits). In this fashion, they will
continue to spend and spend as the PBGC and FDIC go bankrupt while our middle
class is wiped out. This spending will have to monetized. Hyperinflation is the
inevitable outcome.
They have also created Public Private Investment Partnerships so Illuminist
institutions can buy their toxic waste from each other in what will be a failed attempt to
prop up toxic derivative prices, with the public being the big loser because they will
absorb most of the losses while most of the profits, if any, will go to Illuminist investors.
This is just another method of converting private red ink into public red ink, thus
adding to the debt blob that will debauch the dollar and help send us into
hyperinflation.
The Fed will continue to absorb the toxic waste of its member banks, setting
itself up as the ultimate too-big-to-fail zombie financial institution which is now helpless
to stop the oncoming hyperinflationary freight train because all its assets are
unmarketable cess pools of toxic waste that no one in their right mind would purchase
for more the 10 cents on the dollar. Thus, the Fed has been intentionally disabled
from fighting against the inflationary consequences that will result from the rampant
spending and bailouts that are now ongoing right before your eyes. The Fed has been
hamstrung so that hyperinflation can be assured. They can no longer suck money out
of the system because the value of their assets is laughable.
After they achieve an elevated level of inflation by all this spending on pork,
bailouts and socialist programs while the hamstrung Fed continues to profligately spew
out money and credit at an ever-increasing rate via monetization of treasuries which
investors are starting to shun more and more for obvious reasons, interest rates will
rise, the real estate, stock and bond markets will collapse, credit default and interest
rate swaps will implode, and suddenly there will be tens of trillions in losses that of
course will have to be bailed out.

6
 As this debacle transpires, everyone owning dollar-denominated assets will be
running for the exits, all the dollars parked in foreign currency reserves will be
repatriated, and the currency speculators will go to town as the Fed pumps out money
in ever-increasing quantities to fund bailout after totally illegal and disgusting bailout.
This will mark the start of the period during which the Much Greater Depression
will be at its most severe level, and is where will we be Weimarized. You won't know
about the foreign investment until it is too late because, conveniently, like the
cessation of M3 statistics by the Fed, the FTC no longer provides figures regarding
foreign investment in the US.
During this whole process, only the Illuminist institutions and corporations will
receive any bailouts, so in the end, all the money for which taxpayers and their
descendents become indebted will have been paid as salaries and bonuses to the
Illuminati and their henchmen, and as free booty to their Illuminist business
corporations to keep them from failing and to resettle them overseas. Taxpayers will
be lucky if they get a lump of coal in their stockings as they watch their pensions,
benefits and entitlements trickle down to nothing, especially after hyperinflation
becomes full blown. Note how the losses are allowed to be trickled out as slowly as
possible so that taxpayers are less prone to say that the losses are just too big to
handle and that the elitist institutions must be allowed to fail and let the chips fall where
they may as the market sorts things out.
The financial institutions of elitists and oligarchs, including the Fed and other
privately owned Illuminist central banks around the world, are eventually going to be
discarded in favor of a new super-entity, like the IMF and World Bank combined into a
single monstrosity and shot up with mega-steroids, while they simultaneously
introduce (stuff down everyone's throats) a world currency along with Draconian world
financial regulations. This will occur after they futilely attempt to bail themselves out to
the tune of tens of trillions of dollars so they can bankrupt and monetize virtually all
developed nations to death, thereby sending us all inexorably down the road to
hyperinflation. Then comes world government, and the fulfillment of George Orwell's
horrific, nightmarish vision, as well as the Mark of the Beast.
HELLO, AMERICA, ARE YOU GOING TO PUT AN END TO THIS CRAP, OR
WOULD YOU RATHER BECOME A BUNCH OF SLAVING, SERF SLOBS FOR THE
ILLUMINATI! THERE ARE INTERNMENT CAMPS AND ABJECT POVERTY IN
YOUR FUTURE IF YOU FAIL TO ACT!
How do we put an end to this mess, and stop the Illuminati dead in their tracks?
You buy gold, silver and their related shares as a failsafe. You pass Ron Paul's bill to
audit the Fed, and expose their skullduggery. You then put an end to the Fed as the
public screams for their blood. For US citizens only, in compliance with the
requirements of the US Constitution, you issue interest-free, gold-backed US dollar
notes to replace, dollar for dollar, all Federal Reserve notes. You then take all the old
Federal Reserve notes that have been exchanged, load them on dump trucks, take
them to the Federal Reserve in Goldman Sachs South, and dump them at their front
door. You place a sign on the pile that reads: "We now consider our debt to the
Federal Reserve Bank to be paid in full, and will cease all future interest payments.
Incidentally, this pile of "worthless paper" is no longer legal tender in the US.
Have a nice day." Foreigners will have their treasury bonds and dollars redeemed in
oil, coal, natural gas and other commodities, in a percentage that is based on how
many jobs and plants they stole from our economy, how many subsidies they gave
their industries, the extent to which they debased their currencies to gain unfair trade
advantages, the extent to which they imposed trade tariffs and import duties on our
exports to their countries, and the amount they would have received had the Illuminists

7
successfully ignited hyperinflation. These bonds would be retired over time as they
came due. We also obviously have to purge government of all Illuminist influence by
arresting, trying, convicting and sentencing all Illuminist criminal co-conspirators for
their myriad of felonies and acts of high treason. All Illuminist assets would be seized
and applied to the national debt, and we would apply all gold seized, by force if
necessary, no matter where it might be found, until we have enough to properly back
our new currency, which would remain the world's reserve currency. Rockefeller alone
could probably retire the entire official US debt and replace our gold reserves.
Banking leverage would be greatly reduced, and there would be proper
regulation of financial markets by both the federal and state governments acting in
concert with one another to protect consumers, and no conflicts of interest between
Wall Street, corporate America, and the federal and state governments would be
tolerated. Oil, coal, natural gas and power generation facilities, along with
pharmaceutical companies, would be nationalized, all publicly owned energy
resources would be tapped, and all patents unused for over five years would be taken
by eminent domain, with all profits from these resources and patents being used to pay
for our debts. After our debts were retired, these industries would be privatized again,
and any unused/unsold patents would be returned to their owners, except to the extent
they were necessary to fund the much reduced activities of our federal government.
All companies that are currently insolvent would be forced to go bankrupt, and
the economy would be purged, with the markets working out the details free of the
influence of the PPT, which would be dissolved. Illuminist judges, officials of the
Administration, and members of Congress found to be in cahoots with Illuminist
criminals would be immediately impeached and then tried criminally. Class action
lawsuits would be prosecuted on behalf of all members of the public screwed out of
their rightful profits by the Illuminists, the PPT and our regulatory agencies. All
lobbying would cease. Term limits would be imposed. Each and every candidate for a
particular office would receive the same amount of money with which to conduct a
campaign. The income tax would be repealed and a reasonable national sales tax
would be implemented, with a mandatory periodic reduction and phase out over time.
The tax would be phased out as we reduced the size of our federal government
and returned powers back to the states. The tax would cease when our budget was
balanced and a proper Constitutional balance between federal and state powers was
achieved. Trade tariffs and import duties would be imposed on a Golden Rule basis,
meaning, we will charge you whatever you charge us, and we will grant subsidies and
manipulate our currencies to achieve parity with whatever you do on your end. We will
also charge duties to make up for the difference in our relative standards of living so
you stop using your citizens as slave labor to undercut our workers. All illegal
immigrants would be ejected. Any legal immigrants would be processed faster. Our
troops would be returned home except for a few key positions, and we would mind our
own business except where military action is absolutely necessary to defend our
nation, as opposed to supporting a nefarious elitist agenda. And this is just for
starters. Real reform of our educational and health systems would then follow. Once
we had our own house in order, we would help the nations of the world succeed and
progress as never before. World government would be outlawed as treasonous, and
anyone promoting it would be given life without parole if they were convicted. God
would be given preeminence in our society once again as the separation of church and
state was applied the way it is supposed to be: that Congress shall pass no law that
would establish a national religion or that would abridge the free exercise of religion.
Period.

 House prices are down 19% yoy and 32% from the 2006 highs. We believe
prices can drop another 20% due to the tail end resets on ALT-A loans, the next 3-1/2
years of resets on Option ARMs, known as pick-and-pay loans, prime loans and a new
push of subprime loans. The carnage in housing won’t end until we hit 2013. Worse
yet, even though new home construction is off 80.4% from its peak, builders are still
building. That is dumb, but it is still happening in the face of the largest housing
inventory for sale in history. Incidentally, house building fell 70% during the housing
recession of 1989-1992. It seems builders do not know when to stop building. Part of
that error is caused by bogus government statistics and in this case the bogus
government propaganda that the economic, financial and housing recession is over. It
is not over. In fact, the depression that began in February is just getting underway. Its
progress will be slightly muted this year by the first part of the stimulus package and
next year by the bulk of the package. By the end of next year GDP should be even,
down from minus 6-1/4%, 5-3/4% and 4% during 2008. There is a minor carryover to
2011 and 2012, but it won’t be a major factor. Late in 2009 we see discussion on
another stimulus package of some $2 trillion and that could become reality in late 2009
in an attempt to extend the failed earlier plan. While this transpires interest rates will
climb, the market and the dollar will fall and gold and silver will rise. Needless to say,
monetary inflation will rage as the rate of decent in the destruction of assets slows.
Housing affordability won’t begin for sometime due to further layoffs and the
lack of loans from banks. The bad assets on bank books will be massive forcing them
to hold cash to offset losses. We’ll have more on what banks are doing later. In order
for houses to be affordable, unemployment must stop increasing and prices have to go
lower. Even in areas where housing will become affordable the increase in buying will
come very slowly. The leverage factor is gone.
There is a 40-month supply of homes worth $750,000 or more. There is a
squeeze as traditional economic factors slip into place. Fitch ratings say that 75% of
subprime loans now being made will fail in six months to a year. You would think
government would have learned its lesson. These are the loans, which lower monthly
payments to 31% of income. The reason is that most buyers are incapable of paying
back any loan. They are simply broke. Home prices continue to fall, which complicates
matters as well. Owners have to walk away, especially if they understand prices are
going to fall even lower.
More than 12% are in foreclosure or are late on payments. Foreclosures
continue to climb. Even more disturbing is that 6% of prime loans are in foreclosure
double last year’s level. This is the result of U-6 at 20.4%. Unemployment could double
from here, because this is worse than the 1930s. Keep that in mind when you are
listening to Wall Street, government or the mainline media.
As you can see, this depression is going to last a long time. Even those who
have foreseen our troubles, and they are few, haven’t foreseen just how bad this will
be. That handful have bought the elitist projection that 2010 or 2011 will be the
turnaround years. They have finally swallowed the Wall Street line. They do not
understand we are not going back to normal. This will be as subnormal as it gets. Just
a visit to 64.5% of GDP by consumers will cripple the economy further. If we are right
there is no need for major corporate investment. Debt is being reduced by consumers
and savings are at 4.7%. There can be no expansion of goods and services if workers’
jobs continue to be shipped to foreign lands – to countries that can’t stand a fair and
level playing field. Countries that are destroying America with the help of elitists who
control transnational conglomerates. Is it any wonder that capacity utilization is
hanging at 65%? The buyers are vanishing. How can anyone contemplate recovery
when we are nowhere near the bottom of this depression? There is still a 10-month

9
supply of home inventory and it won’t disappear for years. As we predicted six year’s
ago, when we announced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were broke, that government
would end up owning perhaps as many as 50% of homes, and how they’d end up
renting them to families, because they couldn’t be sold. How can a 55 year old with 2
or 3 jobs afford to own a home?
In July, when second quarter profits are announced, they will be dreadful.
Bank, brokerage, insurance and consumer stocks will lead the way down along with
homebuilders and suppliers. The slugs on Wall Street tell us the fourth quarter will be
better because of the low level of profits during the last fourth quarter. Earnings will not
rise 50% in 2010 as Wall Street predicts and has already discounted in the current
market.
American Express Co. said Wednesday it repaid the $3.39 billion it received
last fall as part of the government's $700 billion bank investment program.
The New York-based credit card lender also paid the Treasury Department
$15.1 million of accrued dividends on the investment. American Express had
previously paid the government $59.3 million in dividends on the investment.
The government provided banks with capital in exchange for preferred stock and
warrants to purchase common shares. The preferred stock carried an interest rate of 5
percent.
Wednesday's repayment did not include the repurchase of the warrants.
American Express said it plans to notify the Treasury Department of its intent to
purchase them. The financial firm issued warrants for the government to purchase
about 24.3 million shares of common stock.
Taxpayers Will Benefit from JPMorgan's Exit from TARP because JPM would
repurchase the warrants for $1.6B.
I looked at the yields of JP Morgan’s non-TARP preferred stock on June 1,
2009. It yielded about 7.5 percent. The TARP preferred stock pays a 5 percent
dividend for the next four and a half years. This means that JPM is giving up a subsidy
with a present value of about $2.4 billion by paying back TARP before the TARP
preferred stock dividend rises to 10 percent. Buying back warrants is roughly
equivalent to repurchasing shares. It reduces the common equity cushion. By my
estimates, the JP Morgan warrants were worth about $1.6 billion by the close of
trading on Monday, June 1.
I don’t agree with Jamie Dimon that JP Morgan should get a half price sale on
the TARP warrants. The purchase agreement that he signed says half the warrants will
be forgiven if he raised $25 billion of stock. (I already took into account the chance, 14
percent according to my model, that JP Morgan would want to raise the full $25 billion,
reducing my valuation of those warrants by about 7 percent.) If he wants
half price on the TARP warrants, he should raise $25 billion not just $5 billion of
common stock. I’m sure Mr. Dimon won’t agree to give back half his stock options. Nor
should taxpayers give away half their warrants. There is no economic justification for
such subsidies when JP Morgan can easily tap equity markets.

California's unemployment rate in May hit 11.5% -- its highest level in more than
three decades…The state lost 68,900 jobs in May as unemployment rose from a
revised 11.1% in April and 6.8% in May 2008. This is the highest rate since the
national record-keeping system began in 1976.
This is an indictment of the BLS and its fraudulent job creation in its Net
Birth/Death model.
Luxury spending likely to drop 10 percent for 2009 When do you know that

The luxury market, historically resilient to economic downturns, is forecast to

Gretchen Morgenson: “No one should assume that the government will step in to
bail them out if their firm fails.” That’s Timothy F. Geithner, the Treasury secretary,
talking tough with lawmakers last week as he promoted the government’s remake of
the financial regulatory framework.
Talk is cheap, however. And the notion that the plan shows a new aversion to
bailouts is not at all supported by its chapter and verse. In fact, there’s precious little in
the 88-page document about how the government will eliminate systemic risks posed
by financial firms that aren’t allowed to fail because they’re simply too big or to
interconnected to other important economic players here and abroad.
Rather than propose ways to shrink these companies and the risks they pose,
the Geithner plan argues instead for enhanced regulatory oversight of the behemoths.
This suggests the taxpayer safety net will be larger after our national financial train
wreck, not smaller.
In the paper, Professor Kane described why the policy responses to financial
crises historically had involved expanding the universe of companies eligible for
taxpayer support if another mess arose. “When a substantial portion of the financial
sector appears to be at risk, it is far easier to patch up the weaknesses in the system
with ad hoc loans and guarantees than to negotiate genuine reform,” he wrote.
For top regulators to be able to push through larger bailouts, he argued, two
conditions must hold. “First they must be able to control the flow of information,” he
wrote, “so as to keep taxpayers and the press from convincingly assessing either the
magnitude of the implicit capital transfer or the anti- egalitarian character of the
subsidization scheme.”
Sound familiar? Recall the months of secrecy surrounding the bailout of A.I.G.’s
counterparties and the refusal of the Federal Reserve Board to disclose how it chose
BlackRock to oversee three of its rescue programs and what it was paying the firm to
do so?
Then there is Professor Kane’s second condition: Regulators’ commitment to
these bailout policies “must be continually nourished by praise and other forms of
tribute from the bankers, borrowers and investors whose losses are being shifted to
less-influential parties.”
President Barack Obama’s program to help more homeowners refinance may be
expanded to include borrowers who owe more than 105 percent of their homes’
values, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director James Lockhart said.
The Obama administration is considering allowing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
to refinance loans with current loan-to-value ratios of 125 percent or higher, Lockhart
said at a National Association of Real Estate Editors Association conference in
Washington yesterday.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that
32% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is

11
performing his role as President. Thirty-four percent (34%) Strongly Disapprove giving
Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. That’s the President’s lowest rating
to date and the first time the Presidential Approval Index has fallen below zero for
Obama.
According to Pew Research there is far less public support for healthcare reform
now then when Hilary had her healthcare fiasco. In early 1993 the sense of a health
care crisis was far more widespread than it is today – a 55% majority in 1993 said they
felt the health care system needed to be “completely rebuilt” compared with 41%
today. Healthcare reform is D.O.A.
Last December, when it was pressing Bank of America to complete its ill-fated
acquisition of Merrill Lynch, the Federal Reserve also looked to Pimco for advice.
According to recently released messages that Fed staff members sent one another
that month, Pimco evaluated the two banks and concluded that Merrill wouldn’t survive
without a capital infusion or additional government aid.
But Pimco’s involvement in so many aspects of the bailout has made many other
financiers and analysts uncomfortable. They say its proximity to the Treasury
Department and the Fed may allow it to reap billions of easy dollars through federal
contracts and preferential investment opportunities.
A frequent complaint is this: Why is the Federal Reserve paying Pimco to buy
mortgage securities on its behalf, when the firm is already a huge buyer and seller of
the same bonds? “That’s the equivalent of a no-bid contract in Iraq,” fumes Barry
Ritholtz, who runs an equity research firm in New York and writes The Big Picture, a
popular and well-regarded economics blog. “It’s a license to steal.”
The US and Switzerland have agreed to increase the amount of tax information
they share to help crack down on tax evasion.
The Treasury Department said yesterday that the two nations concluded
negotiations on an amended tax treaty. The discussions took place as US legal
authorities are conducting investigations into allegations that giant Swiss bank UBS
AG helped thousands of American customers evade taxes.
The unemployment rate in the West jumped over 10 percent last month, the
first time that regional threshold has been broken in about 25 years. On the state level,
eight set record-highs and only two - Nebraska and Vermont - did not report increases.
The Labor Department reported Friday that 48 states and the District of
Columbia saw employment conditions deteriorate last month. The fallout from the
longest recession since World War II, was the worst in Michigan as automakers cut
tens of thousands of jobs. Its unemployment rate rose to 14.1 percent.
The West region reported the highest jobless rate at 10.1 percent. The last time
any region had a rate of at least 10 percent was September 1983, when the country
was emerging from a severe recession.
The region is home to California, where the jobless rate jumped to a record
11.5 percent last month, Nevada, where it's a record 11.3 percent, and other states
that have been slammed when the housing boom went bust - snatching jobs and
wealth.
The other six states that set new highs on records dating to 1976 were: North
Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia.
Staff at Goldman Sachs staff can look forward to the biggest bonus payouts in
the firm's 140-year history after a spectacular first half of the year, sparking concern
that the big investment banks which survived the credit crunch will derail financial
regulation reforms.

12
 A lack of competition and a surge in revenues from trading foreign currency,
bonds and fixed-income products has sent profits at Goldman Sachs soaring,
according to insiders at the firm.
Staff in London were briefed last week on the banking and securities
company's prospects and told they could look forward to bumper bonuses if, as
predicted, it completed its most profitable year ever. Figures next month detailing the
firm's second-quarter earnings are expected to show a further jump in profits. Warren
Buffett, who bought $5bn of the company's shares in January, has already made a
$1bn gain on his investment. (this is what happens when you are privy to inside
information)
An increase in exports is needed for a sustained recovery in the United States
and this may require an adjustment in the value of the U.S. dollar, IMF chief economist
Olivier Blanchard said on Monday.
'For the US, it is absolutely no question that a sustained recovery has to come
from a large increase in exports, that may not be very easy to do. This may require
fairly substantial adjustments in the dollar,' he told a conference.
Billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros said the worst of the global
financial crisis is over, and called for new international regulations to maintain open
markets.
“Definitely, the worst is behind us,’’ Hungarian-born Soros said in an interview
yesterday with the Polish television station TVN24.
He called the crisis the most serious in his lifetime, adding that:
“This is the end of an era. The question is what’s going to come out of it in the
future.’’
Without new international regulations, “globalization will fall apart,’’ possibly
spawning a system of “state capitalism’’ like China’s, he said.
Soros, who recently returned from China, said the world’s third-largest
economy is “growing in strength’’ because the country was relatively unaffected by the
economic crisis. (another trained donkey act) -
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Societe Generale SA extracted about $11.4
billion from American International Group Inc. before the insurer’s collapse as the firms
demanded to hold cash against losses on mortgage-linked securities, according to
regulatory filings.
Goldman Sachs got $5.9 billion and Societe Generale received $5.5 billion of
about $18.5 billion in collateral paid by AIG in the 15 months before the September
bailout. The payments helped settle AIG’s obligations on $62.1 billion of credit-default
swaps that the Federal Reserve later removed from the New York-based insurer as
part of the rescue. Officials at AIG, Goldman Sachs and Societe Generale declined to
comment.
“When counterparties see trouble coming, they’ll do everything they can to get
their money back, even if it means the death of the other firm,” said William Cohan, a
former JPMorgan Chase & Co. investment banker and author of “House of Cards,”
about the financial crisis.
Executives at U.S. companies are taking advantage of the biggest stock-
market rally in 71 years to sell their shares at the fastest pace since credit markets
started to seize up two years ago.
Insiders of Standard & Poor’s 500 Index companies were net sellers for 14
straight weeks as the gauge rose 36 percent, data compiled by InsiderScore.com
show. Amgen Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Sharer and five other
officials sold $8.2 million of stock. Christopher Donahue, the CEO of Federated

13
Investors Inc., and his brother, Chief Financial Officer Thomas Donahue, offered the
most in three years.
Sales by CEOs, directors and senior officers have accelerated to the highest
level since June 2007, two months before credit markets froze, as the S&P 500
rebounded from its 12-year low in March. The increase is making investors more
skittish because executives presumably have the best information about their
companies’ prospects.
“If insiders are selling into the rally, that shows they don’t expect their business
to be able to support current stock- price levels,” said Joseph Keating, the chief
investment officer of Raleigh, North Carolina-based RBC Bank, the unit of Royal Bank
of Canada that oversees $33 billion in client assets. “They’re taking advantage of this
bounce and selling into it.”
US officials have moved to block a legal bid by descendants of Apache leader
Geronimo to have his remains reburied.
Geronimo’s relatives say some body parts were stolen almost 100 years ago
by members of a society linked to Yale University to keep in their clubhouse.
The relatives want to rebury the warrior, who died in 1909, near his birthplace
in New Mexico.
But the justice department has asked a federal judge to dismiss their lawsuit.
The society, known as Skull and Bones, is alleged to have stolen some of
Geronimo’s remains from a burial plot in Oklahoma in 1918.

News Corp.’s MySpace social- networking unit, which last week fired almost 30
percent of its staff in the U.S., today said it will cut two-thirds of its international
workforce and close at least four offices.
MySpace’s international workforce outside the U.S. will shrink to 150 from 450
and London, Berlin, and Sydney will become the primary regional hubs, the company
said in an e- mailed statement today.
The offices in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Italy, Mexico, Russia,
Sweden and Spain will be reviewed and may be closed, the company said. MySpace
China, a locally owned company, and MySpace’s joint venture in Japan won’t be
affected.
Hotels and resorts in greater Phoenix continued to suffer more than those in
most other cities in May, according to industry tracker Smith Travel Research.
Valley-wide room occupancy fell to 49.5 percent from 58.6 percent in May
2008, a 15.5 percent decline. The average decline among the 25 markets Smith tracks
was 11.9 percent. Just three other cities, Dallas, Detroit and Tampa, had occupancy
below 50 percent in May.
Average daily rate also fell 15.5 percent, to $97.85 from $115.82. And that was
before the steep summer discounting began.
Revenue per available room, the industry's key financial measure, plunged
28.6 percent, to $48.41. That figure was worse only in New York, down 35.7 percent,
and Chicago, down 29.5 percent.
There are a number of reasons for the fall in President Obama’s approval
ratings.

14
 He called for change and generally speaking there has been few changes.
Foreign policy, except for his stance on the Middle East, has been a replica of the
previous two administrations. He certainly has the distain of Jewish voters who are
pro-Zionist.
He has proceeded to bail out banks, Wall Street, insurance companies and
selected other companies such as Chrysler and GM.
The bankruptcies settlements smacked of cronyism.
The public didn’t expect socialism and welfare for corporate America. They also
did not expect the fallout of free trade and globalization to continue to cause
joblessness at a continued furious pace.
Then we have a program for health socialism that few like and which faces are
very tough fight. It is probably already dead on arrival.
We also have the illegal dismissal of Investigator General Gerald Walpin, who
uncovered a $75 million scam under the AmeriCorps program at City University of
New York, which was followed by exposure of Obama’s friend Sacramento Mayor
Kevin Johnson, who stole almost $1 million. A terrible disgrace, which the media has
refused to expose.
Mr. Obama’s new policy to make the privately owned Federal Reserve a
financial regulator, when they were directly responsible for our credit crisis.
He allows ABC exclusive rights to film, what really is an infomercial on his
healthcare plan, which we call the euthanasia bill, without any other coverage.
These are the reasons months ago we predicted that by October he would
have a 40% approval rating and he is fast on the way there.
Citizens now believe the president will raise taxes and try to implement a Value Added
Tax, a VAT.
People do not want a voluntary civilian defense force or a selective service
draft.
Most people believe the stimulus package is a joke, an expensive one.
Existing-home sales improved again in May, but falling prices and bloated
supply promise to make a housing sector recovery slow.
Home resales rose by 2.4% to a 4.77 million annual rate from 4.66 million in
April, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday.
It was the second straight increase and the fourth in six months. The increase
would have been bigger if not for poor appraisals, the realtors indicated.
About a third of May resales involved distressed property. Foreclosures have
pushed prices lower. The median price for an existing home last month was $173,000,
down 16.8% from $207,900 in May 2008.
"We need to have increased sales to stabilize prices," NAR economist
Lawrence Yun said.
While lower prices make houses cheaper, the drop also lowers household net
worth and can discourage a purchase as a would-be buyer awaits a better deal. Prices
are falling because of excess supply.
"We just experienced the longest, largest housing bubble in U.S. history," said
Mike Larson of Weiss Research. "As a result, the recovery process will be a long,
drawn-out affair."
The data Tuesday showed inventories of previously owned homes fell last
month, down 3.5% to 3.8 million available for sale. That represented a lower - yet still-
elevated - 9.6-month supply at the current sales pace, compared to 10.1 in April.
U.S. home prices dropped a seasonally-adjusted 0.1% in April, in a sign that
the housing market may be stabilizing, a government agency reported Tuesday.

15
 Home prices fell 6.8% in the twelve months ending in April, but declined only
0.3% in the first four months of the year, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said.
The agency revised the 1.1% price decline it reported in March to a 1.4% price
decline.
Economic activity was mixed in June, a report Tuesday from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond said.
The bank said that its manufacturing index for the current month moved to 6
from 4 in May, while its shipments index was 2 from 9 the month before. Readings
over zero indicate expanding activity.
On the service sector side, the revenues index for June was -26, from -29 in
June, while the retail sales revenues index was -18, from -13 the month before.
US Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index increases to 6 in June from 4 in May.
National chain store sales fell 4.4% in the first three weeks of June versus the
previous month, according to Redbook Research's latest indicator of national retail
sales released Tuesday.
The latest numbers are starkly different from recent weeks because they don't
include Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), which said last month it would no longer provide
monthly sales figures.
The fall in the index was compared to a targeted 4.1% drop.
The Johnson Redbook Index also showed seasonally adjusted sales in the
period were down 4.5% compared with June 2008, against a targeted 4.2% fall.
Redbook said that on an unadjusted basis, sales in the week ended Saturday
were down 4.2% from a year ago after a 4.8% decline the prior week.
The International Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs Retail
Chain Store Sales Index were unchanged in the week ended Saturday from its level a
week before on a seasonally adjusted, comparable-store basis.
On a year-on-year basis, retailers saw sales fall 0.9% in the latest week.
At least three small banks have stopped paying the United States government
dividends they owe in relation to the $315.4 million they received under the Troubled
Asset Relief Program, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The banks, which continue to struggle amid turmoil in the financial industry, are
Pacific Capital Bancorp, a lender in Santa Barbara, Calif.; the Seacoast Banking
Corporation of Florida ; and Midwest Banc Holdings, of Melrose Park, Ill., The Journal
said.
Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly told the newspaper that “Treasury respects
the contractual rights of [TARP recipients] to make decisions about dividend
distributions, and that banks are best positioned to decide how to manage their own
capital base.”
Mortgage originations in the U.S. may total $2.03 trillion this year, 27 percent
less than earlier forecast, as rising interest rates reduce home refinancings, the
Mortgage Bankers Association said.
The United States and European Union accused China of unfair trade practices
on Tuesday, saying the Chinese government was restricting exports of raw materials
to give manufacturers in that country a competitive advantage.
The United States trade representative, Ron Kirk, said China had imposed
quotas, export duties and other costs on raw materials used in the production of steel,
chemicals and aluminum. In effect, he said, China was putting its thumb on the scale
and giving Chinese manufacturers an unfair edge.
“Trade has to be fair,” Mr. Kirk said in a news conference in Washington. “If
you’re going to do business with the United States, you’re going to have to play by the
rules.”

16
 May home sales fell 3.6% yoy, and 1/3 of the May’s sales were foreclosures.
The quarterly CEO Economic outlook Index rebounded to 18.5 in the second
quarter from a negative 5 in the first quarter; 51% will cut costs over the next six
months and reduce capital spending with 49% expecting to cut US jobs – 46% expect
a decline in sales. They expect GDP to decline 2.1% in 2009.
The Trucking Market Demand Index fell 5% to 3.33 last week from 3.52 the previous
week. Average equipment rates surged 4% last week to $1.60 from $1.54. Fuel prices
rose 3% from $2.50 to $2.57. Average inbound rates increased 2% to $1.50 from
$1.47 per mile. Outbound rates rose 3% to $1.48 from $1.43 per mile. Turnaround
worsened 2% to 188 minutes from 184 minutes.
Massachusetts housing prices continued to fall at a double-digit rate last month
as foreclosure sales put downward pressure on the market, according to new data
released yesterday by the Warren Group, a Boston firm that tracks real estate.
The median selling price for single-family houses in May dropped 13 percent to
$280,000, from $322,000 in May 2008. From January to May, the median price
slumped 15.1 percent to $264,900, compared with $312,000 at the beginning of the
year. But excluding bank-owned property sales, this May’s median price would have
been $290,000, according to Warren Group.
The latest drop comes as the inventory of foreclosed properties has swelled.
Bank-owned property sales made up 7.6 percent of single-family house transactions
between January and May, up from 5.2 percent during the same period last year.
General Motors Corp., seeking to become a more nimble automaker when it
emerges from bankruptcy, plans to eliminate about 4,000 US salaried jobs by Oct. 1.
The company began notifying salaried workers yesterday that it will offer
retirement and buyout incentives, said Tom Wilkinson, a GM spokesman.
If the company doesn’t receive enough volunteers by early August, it will make
involuntary cuts, he said.
The cuts will reduce the US salaried workforce to about 23,500 from about
29,650 at the beginning of this year, Wilkinson said. The reductions will include
trimming the executive workforce.
As of April 27, GM had said it planned to cut the US salaried workforce to
26,250.
Harvard’s most senior administrators had for months foreshadowed the possibility of
staff reductions, warning at a series of meetings and forums that they probably would
have no choice as the university deals with the precipitous decline in its endowment.
But when the layoff number - 275 Harvard employees - was delivered yesterday in a
memo from the university’s president, it came as a shock in most quarters of the
campus.
The Fed previously said they would monetize $300 billion in Treasuries, $600
billion in Agencies and $1.2 trillion in toxic waste to total $2.1 trillion of money created
out of thin air. They have now increased those numbers by $850 billion to almost $3
trillion. Who says we won’t have inflation?

 Reduction of the rediscount rate to 2 1/2 percent is considered beneficial in
several ways. It indicates credit will be easy for some time; should benefit many
industries including farming, building, construction, and make bond issues easier for
corporations resulting in lower unemployment.

In a conversation with Greg Evensen (columnist with “News With Views”) late
this afternoon, he has confirmed a story that originates early today from a meeting that
took place between Pentagon and DHS personnel, in which they have assembled “Go
Teams” from police members across the USA (inter alia?) which will be “ready to go
anywhere (including Canada) within an 8-hour time-frame, prepared to encounter
harsh conditions and unfriendly locals and to expect to be relocated for up to 30 days!
There has been drafted an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between a
Chief of Police from a southern state and an armed forces General to this effect,
including other considerations.
The positive news from this discussion with Mr. Evensen (himself a former
Kansas State Trooper) is that he receives regular feedback from the “rank-and-file”
police officers (from Sergeant on down) that between 50-60% of these folks will refuse
to obey orders that will effectively kill, wound or enslave their own people.
Additionally, of the 3500 sheriffs in the US, between 25-35% will “do the right
thing” in regards to their dealings with “the people”.
(And what about the others remaining in the vast majority?)
There have been reports that most of the western states’ armories have had
their weapons’ vaults emptied and the guns taken to an underground facility in
Arkansas.
Please forward me any confirming or repudiating data regarding these above
reports.
There will be a DVD available within two weeks from today expanding upon this
information. Please contact Mr. Evensen to obtain your copy at

This guy's video on youtube has been so popular that Obama

Invited him to the White House. Obama also said he wanted the White House to

From a Fellow Subscriber:
Bob,
I pressed the send button on the previous email too quickly. I wanted to expand my
opinion on the article by Bryan Rich. I think that he misses the point regarding the
meeting in Russia. The BRIC countries are deadly serious about the dollar and the US
financial system. He's right that the decoupling didn't take place. But the BRIC
countries actually had healthy economies with a normal production of goods and
services and no national deficit and it's precisely because they are attached to the
dollar and the US financial system that they went down with the US. So they realize
that they must abandon the dollar as soon as possible. When contradictory statements
are made by officials in these countries stating they have confidence in the dollar,
they're not being hypocrites. They just want to change the reserve currency with a soft
landing. But my opinion is that they are going to have to bite the bullet and crash the
dollar. They're never going to get back the money anyhow that they have invested in
the dollar. And if they have to keep on buying dollars in order to prop up the dollar,
then that's an exercise in futility. Holding and buying US treasuries is likened to a chain
smoker. The chain smoker can try to gradually wind down the habit by smoking a little
less each month in addition to using the nicotine patch until eventually they can just
stop easily. But life teaches differently. Every smoker that I have met just had to quit
cold turkey and take the withdrawal pains for a while until they're over it. The same
with the dollar. I don't think there will be any gradual soft landing.

22
It would help if the US government would cooperate with the BRIC countries and rest
of the world to help gradually wind down the dollar domination but the US government
knows that would be the death knell for their empire. So the rest of the world will have
to dethrone the dollar in direct antagonism to the US power elite.

Why couldn't the BRIC countries and as many countries as possible simply state that
they are replacing all of the US treasury holdings and their dollar holdings in their
central banks with a new currency based on a basket of 10 currencies. They can mark
the beginning at a certain date so that all of their dollars can be dissolved and
converted into this new currency simultaneously. The US won't accept this and won't
allow the US treasuries to be converted. But it doesn't matter what the US thinks. The
BRIC countries and their allies will acknowledge this exchange as legitimate. Since
this new currency will be basically in electronic form, a bank could be founded in one
of the countries and all of the dollars would be converted into the new currency into
each countries account in the new bank. In the beginning the new currency will involve
only exchanges between nations and not necessarily be used inside of each country.
At first there will be resistance of course from the US, UK, Canada, Europe and
Australia but if the BRIC countries can get enough of the world on their side, then one
by one the resisters will have to join. I think that they could peel away Germany and
then possibly France. I think the Euro is history anyways.

I am not naive about this and there will be very painful adjustment but the first step for
world recovery is painful removal of the source of the addiction.

What do you think of this proposal?

P.S. Your new sound system is tremendous. I thought I was listening to someone else
on the Alex Jones show. The voice I heard sure had your personality and your
mannerisms but it sounded like this person was in the studio with Alex. Then of course
I realized it was you. Great sound system.

NEW WAY TO FIND IF OBAMA IS CITIZEN

23
We've all seen the emails about Obama's citizenship. This is a new twist WE
hadn't known. Interesting. More questions, and this time some good questions
that are NOT being answered! Unfortunately, those that are still drinking the
Obama kool-aid will shrug these off as further attempts to discredit him. Believe
me – he doesn’t need help. Just watch the nightly news and if you voted for him
– is THIS what you thought you’d get?????? I didn’t think so.

While I've little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul
Hollrah over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by
Obama answering one simple question: What passport did he use when he was
shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi?
Much less, how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981,
without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price
of a round-the-world trip just a month later? And once he was on a plane,
shuttling between New York, Jakarta, and Karachi, what passport was he
offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration? The American
people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have
answers.
It makes the debate over Obama's citizenship a rather short and simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A: Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities. 1. He traveled with a U.S. Passport, 2) He
traveled with a British passport, or 3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S. Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department's "no travel"
list in 1981.
Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with
a British passport or an Indonesian passport.
And further on that question
Q: Why can’t the U.S. Passport Agency find a copy of any passport issued to (or
application made by) Barrack Obama when searching from 1975 to 1990?
A: No explanation.
If he was traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was
born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he was
traveling with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he
relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to
being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he
managed to become a "natural born" American citizen between 1981 and 2008.
Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his
speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to
Congress, the sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.
Count me in as one of those inquiring minds who'd at least like to know the
answers to these easily answered (by Obama) questions.

Note From a Policeman:

24
 The fear on the street is palpable. Ever since the election of Barack
Obama as President of these United States in November 2008, coupled with
the election of a democrat party majority in both the U.S. House and
Senate, concern for the United States and personal safety has ignited like a
fire in dry grass.
Sales of guns – black guns, rifles, shotguns and handguns (particularly
9mm) everywhere, have gone through the roof. AR15s have literally flown off of dealer
shelves, and only now in the spring of 2009, have I seen the
display samples of ARs begin to reappear on the wall of my favorite shooting
emporium after the initial post election rush.
Manufacturers of ARs are still working to catch up and some of the major
suppliers are as much as 150,000 guns behind. Not only that, ammo is in
the shortest supply I have ever seen in the 43 years of my shooting life. Have
you recently tried to get 5.56mm, 9mm or even 380 ammo?
Supplies of 5.56mm and 9mm ammo are in short supply due to the black gun
buying craze; .380ACP because of the rise in people getting concealed
carry permits and the resurgence of interest in convenient 380 handguns like the fine
Ruger LCP. In fact, in doing a review of the Ruger LCP, my gun store
only had a small supply of ONE .380 round on hand, the Winchesters
95-grain SXT, which they had just gotten in. Unfortunately, I had to do a 30-round review of
that pistol. There was none other to be found.
The 5.56mm was the first caliber to noticeably be in short supply. This
was first due to the war effort, the headlong adoption of 5.56mm rifles by law
enforcement agencies ever since the great LAPD bank robbery and shootout,
the general shooting public interest in and acceptance of the AR15 weapons
system along with a realization that yes, the AR does have sporting
purpose, and of course now, this new fear that is on the street. Sales of ARs also went up
following 9/11.
What is odd about this new fear is that it is not coming from the average
citizen gun owner out there, but it is coming from what to me is an almost
shocking source: street cops.
Street cops and SWAT cops that I know from various agencies – rural,
suburban and metro – in my area are scared. Cops that before November 2008 never
gave much thought (that I knew of anyway) to politics or more
importantly to gun rights. For the most part, these are the guys that didn’t
generally have any interest in shooting or gun ownership beyond keeping
track of where their duty gun is, and a few of them didn’t even do that so
well.
The guys I am talking about now are some of the same guys who used to not
even carry off duty on a regular basis- but not anymore. They don’t scare
easily, defenders of the Constitution of this State and the United States
(as our oath of office reads), have been buying ARs, survival gear, and
all the ammo they can lay their hands on. All of them (or I should say “us”)
have been discussing and have been acquiring guns to provide a layered
perimeter defense.
We want something in .308 (or in my case a superb M1 Garand in .30-06) for
covering the outer perimeters, 5.56mm weapons for mid-range use (for some
with more limited funds, the AK-47 and 7.62×39 cartridge will suffice),
and for the close up stuff shotguns and handguns (love my Benelli M4 Tactical and Beretta
92 9mm).
What are we suddenly so afraid of? Well in our discussions it seems to
boil down to four areas.

25
 First, fear of federal government intrusion into our lives. Every time I
look at or listen to the news, there is something new and intrusive coming
out of the Obama administration and this Congress. New tax schemes,
government-run Canadian-style healthcare, a volunteer citizen defense
force (whatever that is, what happened to the National Guard?) equipped with
funding similar to our military, forced voluntary “service” after retirement, a lack of a
southern border with hordes of illegal and criminal aliens pouring over our border, the
swine flu scare as well as government forced closing of thousands of privately held
Chrysler and GM dealerships, which will be the final nail in the coffin for these companies
and the list goes on and on.
But these items in the news are just the tip of the iceberg. We can’t see
the full impact of these actions yet, but we don’t know what was added
into the thousand of pages of stimulus package bills in the dead of night yet.
I predict however that when the plans contained in the stimulus packages go
into effect, a lot of us are going to be surprised if not shocked by what
has suddenly and sweepingly changed.
What also scares us is the second, well-founded fear that there is an
assault weapons ban looming, one that would make the Clinton Ban appear
like a look of disdain in comparison. I remember well the 1990s and the Clinton years: the
rise of militia groups, the “black helicopter” rumors and
paranoia, all of which was motivated by the Brady Law and the Assault
Weapon’s ban. What if a new ban comes requiring registration or
confiscation and turn-in of banned weapons as what happened in Australia?
I watched cops and citizens alike purchase these guns at $900 dollars and
more, with custom or tricked out guns easily running into the $2,000
range.
Then add on all the accessories, red dots, lights, slings and anything else
you can name and you may have up to $3,000 wrapped up in your rig. I saw
the looks in their eyes. These purchasers weren’t spending this kind of money
just to turn in the guns for no compensation when a government tells them
to.I foresee much civil disobedience coming down the road.
Americans are citizens, and not subjects like the British, Canadians or
Australians. They just don’t always obey the law blindly and not one
officer or citizen that I spoke to said anything like “I hope I get to keep this
gun for awhile before they are banned; They are fun to shoot, so I would hate
to give it up.” It isn’t going to happen, so the cop on the street and the
soldier on the base needs to think now what he will do if the orders come
down. I think you all get what I am saying here.
Which leads me to the third fear, that there is a revolution coming, yes,
a revolution on the scale of the original American Revolution. You can hear
this topic discussed on many of the talk radio shows by even the big name
hosts. The possibility of an armed revolution against the U.S. government
is being discussed, albeit very gingerly and fleetingly and as something to
be avoided, which it is. I never heard this mentioned in the 90s.
One of my quietest, low profile officer friends brought it up the other
day.
He said that at some point in the near future, he felt there is going to
be an armed revolt if things keep going the way they are. Something has got
to give. I was shocked. Yes, I had heard this from some of my more radical
cop friends in the past, but to hear it from a guy like this was unprecedented.
Now, these guys are not saying this will happen to foment revolution, preach
sedition or to even participate. They just want to be ready if it happens, to at least defend
their families, because number four on the fear list is general societal chaos.

26
 Cops fear for their parents, wives, children or grandchildren more now
than ever before. Most cops are encouraging their spouses and loved ones to get
concealed carry permits. Not only that, but some of these same cops are
buying gun mounts for their personal cars so they can carry an AR in the
family ride at the ready all the time. They are also strapping on heavier
forms of off-duty hardware. I have other friends that are issued ARs or
subguns for tactical team use, who always have their gear with them and
are planning on just commandeering these weapons for personal use in defending hearth
and home. Final Notes This is pretty heady and maybe even dangerous stuff. Know fully
that I amnot advocating anything here. I am reflecting to you what I see and hear
going on around me, and maybe saying things that haven’t been said in the
open, until now. It is something to think about.

Dear FOX Newsroom:

I click on your website and see that it is full of sensationalism, i.e. movie stars, murders,
and just plain nonsense. Where's the real hard news? Where's the investigation into
the banks that took stimulus money, but are not lending; what are they doing with the
money? Where's the coverage on HR 1207
(http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1207)? Where's the hard
investigation into Obama's national health care, i.e. how it will really affect Americans;
you can investigate/report on how socialized medicine affects people in Canada and
England (how many seniors are sent home to die; how many women with breast cancer
are sent home to die). Where's the investigation into the Federal Reserve, i.e. when it
came into being, whether it's a part of our government, who really runs it? Where's the
hard numbers on the unemployment? Where's the news on HR 45? Where's the
news on why some politicians want to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, allow continuing
immigration, and open borders when we are drowning in entitlement programs, and
increasing taxes? Where's the news on how many bills the Obama administration has
introduced since taking charge, and what are those bills and what do they really mean
for America (really read each and every bill)? Where are the investigative journalist?

Whoever reads this, I say to you, are you an American who loves his/her country? If
you are, then start putting pressure on your employer; ask questions, get answers, help
save your country.

Hi Bob—rumor has it that Zionist Federal Judge Sam Kent has been sentenced To
Prison for 33 Months for several sex assault’s on several of his own female court
employee’s—which included his own court case manager who organizes his court

Kent, age 60, is a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas—

27
the charges against judge Kent were some or all of the following—”aggravated sexual
abuse, abusive sexual contact and obstruction of justice —and allege Kent tried to
force a second court employee into a sexual act and lied about it to investigators”—
rumor has it that judge Kent had a bias favoring co-religionist lawyers who appeared in
front of him on cases—judge Sam will be going to a CLUB MED prison—which is
designated as a 'medical facility' where a large number of other prisoners are fellow
co-religionists who are—“in” —for some or all of the following— There are
pornographers, money-launderers, common thieves and an abundance of minor
public officials or civic leaders sentenced for a variety of white-collar offenses—judge
Kent and his wife are both rumored to be Holocaust survivors—you can’t make stuff
like this up—judge Kent looks to be on the way to being impeached by the congress—
“60-year-old judge Kent has confessed to— “nonconsensual” —sex with two of his
secretaries, Cathy McBroom and Donna Wilkerson, —who in their emotional pleas
provided striking evidence about the manner in which the 'vulgar' judge importuned
them—"I was a seven-year victim of Sam Kent's sexual and psychological abuse,"
CNN quoted Wilkerson as saying.”—”While— “imposing”— himself on the secretaries,
Kent used to dub himself--- 'The Government'--- and the —'Lion King' —who did not—
'care who hears' —about his sexual misconduct. —The House Judiciary Committee
voted unanimously for Judge Kent to be the first incumbent federal judge to face the
ramifications attached to sex crimes charges. —The self-declared ---'Emperor of
Galveston'— was indicted in May and sentenced to a 33-month jail term beginning
June 15.”—so far the mouths of the ADL are firmly— “duct taped”— about all or some
of the above—as per your constant reporting in the IF and on the radio—the courts in
America are rotten to the core—link is below.

EVERY "LAW" OBAMA SIGNS BRINGS US CLOSER TO...

From a Fellow Subscriber:

Bob,
When people I’ve known for years and who have had a few $100K stashed
away in US banks ask me what to do with their deposits as an alternative, I tell them
to:
Get out a debt if any; buy storable food and water filters and 55 gallon drums to
store tap water before filtration, guns and ammo and supplies they will need to survive
for a year or more; buy a big, heavy safe for their homes to store money, silver and
gold, lead and projectile machines; leave enough money in the bank to pay for daily
operating expenses; stash cash in small denominations to tide themselves over for
several months; put up a small greenhouse and start a veggie and fruit garden; and
find out what to do with the rest by subscribing to the IF and then speaking to you to
get the best advice in the world on the matter, adding that buying gold and silver for
delivery makes sense in any case.

28
 Gold and silver for delivery is good! A few hundred grand in gold takes up very
little space in a safe and can even be hauled around in a purse! I figure buying EFTs
or buying on the COMEX is asking for trouble down the line.
I have no idea what people end up by doing in the long run, but I figure what
I’ve told them, as above --- info I got from both reading the IF and listening to you over
the years --- should give them a good starting place from which to work. I’d not
thought about buying Canadian government securities as an option.
Austin, where I live, is still not a disaster area, but lots of businesses have shut
their doors. FEMA has taken up residence in Highland Mall, one of the old, large
shopping centers in the area. I’ve spoken to several Realtors I know and they are
having a tough time making it. Jobs are still available for skilled and experienced IT
folks. Commercial real estate leasing prices are way down; I heard Alex, who also lives
in Austin, mention on air that commercial footage in space he’d like to lease has
become really affordable relative to prices a year ago. I see more and more fancy cars
in a five-acre discount used car lot near here in a good area of town, but I also see
well-heeling folks buy new Jags, MBs etc. Go figure. I haven’t visited West Lake and
other high dollar communities far west of here for at least a year, but I think I’ll drive
out there to get the lay of the land sometime this week.

These are interesting times, as were the 1930s. I was born in 1934 in Staten Island,
NY. My dad had lost his job as a teller with Chase Manhattan Bank in NYC in 1929/30
and we were living in a nice house on a parcel of land owned by my grandma on my
mom’s side. It was farmland, so they could raise their own food and even sell some of
it. My mom was baking bread and my dad was selling it door to door until he ended
with a job at the WPA. They never gave up hope. We always had a home and food
on the table and there was always either wood or coal in the cellar bin.
Thanks for all.

COMMODITIES
Much of the commodity speculation that has driven prices higher has come
from China, not from the government’s accumulation of commodities, but from loans
intended for expansion of the economy - perhaps as much as 1/3 of those funds have
been used for this purpose. Banks are lending against commodities used as collateral.
In other words, a good part of the reason commodities are at their current levels is due
to easy credit, not just fundamentals.
This means the boom expected in China in the second half of the year may not
materialize. The boom could very well become a bubble.
We do not believe that high or higher commodity prices can be supported by a
weakened international economy. Some of those better figures we’ve seen could be
the result of a dead cat bounce, or lying statistics or government propaganda. Then
ETFs play large in the higher prices we see, more speculation.
One thing is certain and that is the mini-boom in commodities cannot continue
at current levels beyond the fall, perhaps even August. Oil and copper have been the

29
leaders, so they are the ones to watch. Any sign of the stimulus growth ending in
China could well herald the end of the price run. You might also keep an eye on
lumber and iron ore each of which is more expensive to carry in inventory. Both are
very vulnerable. All of this speculation will hurt the Chinese economy eventually.
Part of the commodity boom has been caused by rotation of funds out of the
US stock market and into commodities - hot money that could change direction at any
moment.
China has spent almost $600 billion in stimulus, all of which has hit the
economy at one time. The private sector to an extent is being subsidized with cheap
loans to encourage the private sector to expand and hire more employees.
Speculation is always dangerous and the economies in China and the US are
good current examples. They are both doing the wrong thing but politics guide
decisions in a Chinese Communist control planned economy and a US corporatist
fascist economy. Neither has anything to do with reality. Injecting stimulus from out of
thin air as well as loans always leads to monetary inflation. This does not make
companies expand; it turns them into speculators. Liquidity is not the solution. The
solution is purging the excesses in the system. What has transpired over the past six
years is not the answer. If you are in commodities be very careful. The boom could
dissipate very quickly.

GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM AND PALLADIUM

Monday was typical. The PPT was at work again. Spot gold fell $13.30 to
$920.10, as August traded $0.30 higher. Spot silver fell $0.50 to $14.72 and only was
$0.01 better in July. Thursday is the day for option expiry. As we said last week, as the
CFTC looks on, the commercials are screwing the public again. In silver, the largest
concentration is in the $13.75 to $14.00 area. Thus, today’s action solved that. The
commercials will hold silver here and after Friday it will move back up again. We
wouldn’t put it past them to take silver to $12.49 and wipe out all the silver options.
There is no regulator to protect the speculator. Today’s gold open interest fell 3,372
contracts to 373,641, as silver OI rose 3,640 to 111,380. The big shares had a tough
day. AEM fell 7.32%, or $3.86 to $48.87; GG fell 6.19%, or $2.15 to $32.58; SSRI fell
7.18%, or $1.36 to $17.56 and MFN fell 5.56%, or $0.40 to $6.80. The HUI fell 21.61 to
318.27 and the XAU lost 16.58 to 131.06. Russia added 3.1 tons to its gold hoard to
net 559.41 tons – the 10th largest central bank holding. They are intent on adding at
least 700 more tons.
The yen fell .0029 to $.9592; the euro fell .0092 to $1.3864; the pound fell
.0164 to $1.6340; the Swiss franc fell .0053 to $1.0856; the Canadian dollar fell .0140
to $.8677 and the dollar index, USDX, rose .58 to 80.84. Oil fell $2.50 to $67.50; gas
fell $0.08 to $1.85 and natural gas fell $0.10 to $3.83. Copper fell $0.13 to $2.12;
platinum fell $46.30 to $1,164; palladium fell $10.50 to $235.65 and the CRB fell 6.72
to 246.07.
The Dow found no traction falling 201 to 8339; S&P fell 254 and Nasdaq fell
549 Dow points. Tomorrow does not look promising. The 10-year T-note was 3.70%.

30
 On Tuesday spot gold rose $3.70 as August closed $1.60 higher. Spot silver
rose $0.08 to $13.80 and July was $0.04 higher. The dollar tanked but had little affect
on gold and silver, which shows again they have decoupled. Physical demand was
strong. Surprisingly gold and silver were strong with option expiration coming on
Thursday. The Fed has another bond auction and the Fed is having a meeting. Gold
open interest rose 1,329 contracts to 374,970, as silver contracts fell 4.536 to 106,844.
Lease rates for gold are on the plus side again. Gold borrowers from central banks are
no longer getting paid to take gold off the hands of central bankers. Silver is still
negative. The ETF GLD reports no changes for 11 days at 1,132.15 tons, which is
unbelievable. The HUI rose 13.48 to 331.75, as the XAU rose 5.32 to 136.38. AEM
rose 4.64%, or $2.27 to $51.14; GG rose 4.94%, or $1.61 to $34.19; SSRI rose 2.45%,
or $0.43 to $17.99 and MFN rose 0.44%, or $0.03 to $6.83.
The yen rose .0074 to $.9524; the euro rose .0221 to $1,4085; the pound rose
.0110 to $1.6450; the Swiss franc rose .0169 to $1.00660; the Canadian dollar rose
.0021 to $.8696 and the USDX fell .93 to 79.85.
Oil rose $1.67 to $69.17; gas rose $0.04 to $1.90 and natural gas fell $0.04 to
$3.89. Copper rose $0.06 to $2.19; platinum fell $6.10 to $1,163 and palladium rose
$2.80 to $236.70. the CRB rose $3.73 to $249.86.
The Dow fell 16 to 9524; S&P rose 18 and Nasdaq fell 7 Dow points. The 10-
year T-note was 3.65%.
We have a sneaking suspicion that Ben Bernanke will be replace by Larry
Summers, the man who has been behind monetary policy at the Fed and the Treasury
over the past 13 years. He and Robert Rubin were behind the looting of Treasury gold
and the whole suppression process. Larry Summers is an easy target for Ron Paul
and all those who want to eliminate the Fed.

In the fall of 2007, with Ottawa asleep, the Loonie moved above the Greenback
for the first time in decades.
Ottawa did not stay asleep for long. Voters who, to that point, were not even
sure who their elected representatives actually were, found out real fast. In Ottawa,
phones started to ring off the hook, mainly businessmen, mainly reminding their
"leaders" that Canada's core economic model was based on a currency cheaper than
that of the U.S. Entire industries (the movie sector comes to mind) are based not on
the ability to offer "better" product, merely "cheaper." Which brings us to an interesting
irony. While the Greenback is falling against its will, Ottawa has proclaimed that they
will willingly and knowingly do "whatever it takes" to keep Canada a bargain. Which
includes the third-lowest interest rates on the planet and a proclivity to dump their
currency as it strengthens.
So, bottom line, until the Canadian voter wakes up and smells the coffee, you
will have a weakened Greenback based on fair value, and an artificially lowered
Loonie. Big difference.
Here is the profit opp - Ottawa can lower the Loonie but they cannot make
resources disappear (much as they would like to.) So, until further notice, Canadian
resource stocks, priced in artificially lowered Loonies, are a steal.

CANADA
About half of the City of Toronto’s unionized workers began a strike today after
municipal negotiators and two union groups failed to agree on new labor contracts.
The strike means there’s no garbage collection by city workers in Canada’s biggest
city, and pools, day-care centers and most other municipal services will be closed.
Applications for city permits and licenses are also suspended, and service for
Toronto’s island ferries have been halted.
Union officials were in talks for more than five months with the city, which
sought a labor accord with changes to job security, seniority and benefits such as sick
pay. Two union groups, representing about 24,000 full and part-time workers including
garbage collectors and office staff, began the strike after midnight when negotiators
failed to reach a deal.

Bob,
The pressure has almost reached the boiling point. Windsor’s outside and
inside city workers are still on strike. The grass hasn’t been cut at schools, parks and
around the city in 11 weeks, it’s like a jungle. The striker’s are trying to stop
restaurants in downtown Windsor from removing their garbage. The allies are filled
with decaying garbage, rats and roaches are in heaven. The biggest cab company in
town has also been on strike for many weeks.
Anger is building in the community, people are fed up with storing their garbage
at home. It’s become a battle between the major and the city workers and the workers
have now threatened violence may be next. The union leader said that other strikes
around the country become violent and we have been peaceful so far, so don’t blame
us if things heat up here too.
The surrounding towns are suffering as well, here’s a link if you’d like to add it
to the IF.

Bob,
Here’s a letter from the CEO of Manulife. We sell their insurance products so
maybe he’s released it to us first?

This past Friday June 19, 2009, after the close of business in Canada, Manulife
disclosed, in a media release, that we have received an enforcement notice from
the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) relating to our disclosure before March
2009 of risks related to our variable annuity guarantee and segregated funds
business.

We want to let our associates know how surprised we were to receive this notice,
which is a step in the OSC's process of investigating, considering and addressing
matters of concern within Ontario securities markets. The OSC has not reached
any final conclusions in this matter. Manulife took the correct action of promptly
disclosing the OSC letter, while also clearly stating our firm belief that we have
satisfied all applicable disclosure requirements. We will, of course, now vigorously

33
engage in this process to assert our position that Manulife is in compliance.

Manulife takes this matter extremely seriously. We prove to our associates and
customers every day that our Company's professional integrity and our trustworthy
track record of delivering upon our promises is the bedrock of our business.

We will, for legal reasons, be limited in our ability to comment on this matter in the
weeks and months ahead. However, we will do our best to keep you informed as
we very actively pursue and seek to resolve this matter. In the meantime, we will
continue to live up to Manulife's enviable reputation as the solid, forward looking
Company our customers trust with their most important financial decisions.

Paul Rooney President and CEO, Manulife Canada

LATIN AMERICA
Brazil's general price index, known as the IGP-M, picked up 0.07% in the
May 21 to June 10 period, copared with a fall of 0.14% during the April 21 to
May 10 period, the private Getulio Vargas Foundation said Tuesday.
The latest figure was in line with analysts' expectations, which ranged
from a fall of 0.05% to an increase of 0.18%.
The rolling IGP-M inflation rate in the 12 months through June 10 was
1.70%.
Wholesale prices, which carry a 60% weighting in the overall index, fell
0.21% in the May 21 to June 10 period, compared with a droop of 0.31% in the
April 21 to May 10 period.
Consumer prices picked up 0.15%, compared with an increase of 0.33%
previously. Consumer prices carry a 30% weighting in the overall index.
Construction costs accelerated 1.72% in the period, compared with a fall
of 0.10% in the previous period. Construction costs carry a 10% weighting in
the index.
With recent figures indicating inflation is under control and signs of an
economic slowdown, Brazil's central bank cut the Selic base interest rate to
9.25% from 10.25% earlier this month.

MEXICO
Mexican private spending MXPVTC=ECI fell 9 percent in the first quarter
compared with the year-ago period, the national statistics agency said on Friday.
Aggregate demand MXAGGD=ECI, which includes private and government
demand, gross fixed investment and exports, dropped 11.7 percent in the first quarter
over the year-ago period, the agency said.
Mexico's economy plunged 8.2 percent year over year in the first quarter,
slammed by tumbling U.S. demand for its exports. Heavy job losses in the export
sector pushed consumer confidence to a record low in early 2009.
The country's central bank cut rates for the sixth month in a row earlier on
Friday in a bid to stimulate the economy. The bank said there were signs that the worst
of the recession may be passing.

34
 Private economists surveyed by the central bank forecast earlier this month
that the economy would contract by 5.8 percent this year.

EUROPE
Ireland signaled it would hold a new referendum on the European Union’s
stalled governing treaty in early October after winning assurances that Irish tax policy,
military neutrality, and abortion curbs would be protected as the EU’s powers grow.
Prime Minister Brian Cowen expressed satisfaction with legal guarantees that
he says are necessary to hold another vote on the new EU rulebook, which Irish voters
rejected last year. The veto threw the 27-nation EU into constitutional limbo,
undermining Europe’s push to deepen economic integration and broaden its role.
“We have got what we wanted,’’ Cowen told reporters after a meeting of EU heads of
state and government today in Brussels. “I don’t contemplate defeat’’ in the
referendum.
German business confidence rose for a third month in June, providing further
evidence that the recession in Europe’s largest economy is easing.
The Ifo institute in Munich said its business climate index, based on a survey of
7,000 executives, increased to 85.9 from 84.3 in May. Economists expected a gain to
85, the median of 34 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey showed. The index
reached a 26-year low of 82.2 in March.
Germany’s worst economic slump since World War II may be bottoming out as
a global recovery improves prospects for exports. Manufacturing orders held steady in
April after increasing in March and investor confidence rose to a three-year high in
June. The coalition government led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, who faces national
elections in September, is spending about 85 billion euros ($118 billion) to stimulate
growth. Still, the Bundesbank expects the economy to shrink 6.2 percent this year and
stagnate in 2010.
“The recession isn’t over yet, but the worst may lie behind us,” said Juergen
Michels, chief euro-region economist at Citigroup Inc. in London. “The economic
stimulus package is supporting the economy as well as the expectation that foreign
demand will pick up again.”
Ifo’s measure of expectations increased to 89.5 from 86 while a gauge of
current conditions eased to 82.4 from 82.5.
Providing a further hopeful sign for a local economic recovery, formal
employment in Brazil rose by 131,557 posts in May, Brazil's Labor Ministry reported
Monday.
The May result represented the fourth consecutive month of formal job gains in
Brazil.
For the Jan-May period, formal employment was up by 180,011 posts.
According to the ministry, all sectors of the economy saw gains in formal
employment in May. The service sector saw the largest gain in employment, with
44,029 new job posts created. Industry, however, showed signs it was still struggling
with a difficult environment, creating only 700 posts during the month. For the Jan-May
period, Brazilian industry has lost 146,478 posts, the ministry reported.
Brazil lost more than 700,000 posts between October and January under the
impact of a global economic slowdown.

35
 According to Brazil's IBGE statistics institute, the country's overall
unemployment rate, including formal and self-employment, fell to 8.9% in April from
9.0% in March. The IBGE figures registered 2.05 million Brazilian workers as
unemployed in April, down from 2.08 million in March.
With tax revenue holding up despite the recession, the Italian government is
set to grant tax breaks to companies that reinvest any profit in their business, a
government official said Monday.
To help counter the worst economic downturn in decades, Italian Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi's cabinet is ready to approve a decree granting the tax
breaks - as well as a tax bonus for companies that hold back from laying off workers -
when it meets Friday, the official said.
Berlusconi's finance minister, Giulio Tremonti, faces a tough balancing act to
kick-start the economy. While tax breaks have the potential to lift company
investments, if they are too large they could put pressure on Italian debt, the highest in
Europe compared to the size of the economy.
"The [tax] measure will be limited so as not to hurt tax revenue, so I don't think
there can be a significant boost to investments," said Marco Valli, economist at
UniCredit in Milan.
Italian gross domestic product fell by a quarterly 2.6% in the first three months
of 2009, the steepest decline in at least 29 years, as exports and business investments
dropped.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development last week cut its
2009 forecast for Italian GDP to a contraction of 5.3%, following a 1% decline last
year, which would mark the deepest recession since World War II.
Italy's unemployment rate rose to 7.3% in the first quarter of 2009, its highest
level in three years, as companies lay off workers to cope with the downturn.
The tax break on profits and the bonus in favor of companies that restrain from
laying off workers would mark a "step in the right direction," said Diana Bracco, deputy
head at Italy's largest business association Confindustria.
Confindustria last week urged the government to approve the tax incentives,
saying the next months will be crucial for Italy's economic recovery.
In 2001, the previous Berlusconi government introduced a lower corporate tax
rate for companies investing profits in material assets and training, a move that helped
lift investments marginally.
To generate more revenue, the Italian government also plans to reintroduce a
tax amnesty encouraging Italians holding money in foreign tax havens to declare them
and bring the funds back home by paying a small fine, the official said.
However, a final decision isn't expected until after a meeting of leaders from
the Group of Eight leading economies July 8-10, which is due to discuss foreign tax
havens.
Greece's unemployment rate jumped to 9.3% in the first quarter, up from 7.9%
at the end of last year, the National Statistics Service said Monday, reflecting the
impact of the worldwide economic crisis.
The data also showed that the number of employed people fell to 4.49 million,
down from 4.55 million in the fourth quarter last year.
Youth unemployment, where joblessness remains highest, rose to 18.5% in the
first quarter, up from 16.5% in the fourth quarter.
By region, Western Macedonia continued to post the highest unemployment
rate, where joblessness rose to 14.4% in the first quarter from 12.6% in the fourth.

36
 The lowest unemployment rate was in the islands of the north Aegean, at 7.0%.
That was up sharply from the 4.6% rate in the fourth quarter but reflected the seasonal
rise in joblessness during the tourist off-season.
In Attica, the province surrounding the capital Athens where virtually half the
Greek population lives, unemployment rose to 7.6% in the first quarter, up from a 6.8%
rate previously.
Greece's economy slowed sharply in the first three months of the year, with
gross domestic product expanding at a meager 0.3% rate year-on-year, compared with
a 2.4% rate in the last quarter of 2009.
Both the European Commission and the Bank of Greece expect Greece to slip
into recession this year for the first time since the early 1990s.
The Greek government's official forecast is for the economy to grow at a 1.1%
rate in 2009. But recently, Finance Minister Yannis Papathanassiou said the
government will likely revise down that estimate.
For years, Greece's unemployment rate has been consistently higher than the
European Union and euro-zone averages. However, in the past year and-a-half,
relatively robust jobs growth has helped place more young people into entry-level jobs
in areas like retail and the food industry.
The Greek government expects joblessness in the country will remain below
the levels in the rest of Europe.
The European Commission forecast in May that unemployment in the 27 E.U.
member states will rise to 9.4% in 2009, while for Greece, it forecast an annual
unemployment rate of 9.1% for this year.
Confidence among business executives in Belgium improved in June, but still
remained in negative territory, the Belgian central bank said Tuesday.
The central bank's main index rose to -23.6 in June from -27.6 in May. This
marks the third month in a row the index has climbed, reaching its highest level since
last December.
Romanian new car sales slumped 49.2% on the year to 57,894 units in
January-May, news agency Mediafax reported, citing data provided Tuesday by the
Automotive Manufacturers and Importers Association, or APIA.
In January-May 2008, new car sales stood at 114,020 units.
In May alone, car sales fell 43.1% on the year to 13,336 units, APIA said.
Romania's overall auto market (including cars, commercial vehicles and buses)
was down 53.4% on the year to 65,094 units in January-May.
The euro zone posted its weakest drop in output for nine months in June, but a
moderation in the decline in manufacturing was partially offset by a stronger-than-
expected contraction in services output, data from Markit Economics showed Tuesday.
The preliminary estimate of the euro zone's composite Purchasing Managers
Index, a closely watched gauge of private sector activity, rose to 44.4 in June from
44.0 in May, it said. A reading above 50.0 indicates an expansion, while a reading
below 50.0 indicates a contraction.
Market participants were expecting the composite PMI to rise to 45.5,
according to a Dow Jones Newswires survey of economists last week. The index has
signaled a drop in output for 13 consecutive months, the longest period of contraction
in the survey's 11-year history, Markit said.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said the flash PMIs were
consistent with euro-zone gross domestic product falling by 0.5% to 0.6% in the
second quarter, but the June data suggested that the rate of easing lost considerable
momentum towards the end of the quarter.

37
 "This is especially noticeable in services, where rising unemployment appears
to have hit demand," he said.
The breakdown showed that although the PMI for the manufacturing sector
increased to a nine-month high of 42.4 in June from 40.7 in May, the PMI for the
services sector dipped to 44.5 from 44.8.
Economists were expecting the manufacturing PMI to increase to 42.5 and the
services PMI to rise to 45.8.
German economic contraction continued in June, shrinking at a faster pace
than in May as new orders slumped at the sharpest rate since September in both the
manufacturing and services sectors.
The preliminary estimate of the Markit Economics Purchasing Managers Index
for Germany's manufacturing sector rose to 40.5 in June from 39.6 in May, while the
PMI for the services sector slipped to 44.3 from 45.2 a month earlier.
Both readings were below economists' forecast. According to a survey of
economists last week, the manufacturing PMI was expected to rise to 41.0 while the
services sectors index was forecast at 46.0.
The euro zone's economic contraction eased less than expected in June as a
sharper-than-expected contraction in services offset a weaker decline in manufacturing
activity, data from Markit Economics showed Tuesday.
The preliminary estimate of the euro zone's composite Purchasing Managers
Index, a closely watched gauge of private sector activity, rose to 44.4 in June from
44.0 in May, the strongest reading for nine months, it said. A reading above 50.0
indicates an expansion, while a reading below 50.0 indicates a contraction.
Euro Zone Jun Manufacturing PMI improves to 42.4 while Services PMI goes
down to 44.5.
French private sector output posted its weakest monthly drop in a year in June
as a smaller decline in manufacturing activity outweighed a sharper-than-expected
contraction in services, data from Markit Economics showed Tuesday.
The preliminary estimate of France's composite Purchasing Managers Index, a
closely watched gauge of private sector activity, rose to 47.7 in June from 46.6 in May,
the strongest reading for a year, it said. A reading above 50.0 indicates an expansion
while a reading below 50.0 indicates a contraction.
"Key to the improvement is stabilizing demand, underpinned by the perception
that the most severe phase of the recession has passed," Jack Kennedy, economist at
Markit, said in a statement. "However, conditions are still fragile, with job losses
running at a considerable pace and many firms facing pressure to cut prices."
The breakdown showed that while the PMI for the manufacturing sector
increased to 45.5 in June from 43.3 in May, the weakest decline for 12 months, the
PMI for the services sector fell to 47.5 from 48.3.
Market participants were expecting an increase to 45.0 on the manufacturing
PMI and rise to 49.0 on the services PMI, according to a Dow Jones Newswires survey
of economists last week.
French consumer spending on manufactured goods fell more than forecast in
May, data showed Tuesday, indicating that the main growth engine of the euro zone's
second-largest economy may be running out of steam.
Consumer spending on manufactured products - a good proxy for consumer
spending, which accounts for about two thirds of French gross domestic product - fell
0.2% on the month and 1.6% on the year, national statistics office Insee said.
Economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires had been more optimistic,
expecting spending to fall 0.1% on the month and 0.8% on the year.

38
 The fall in consumption is bad news for France's economy, which is already
weathering a slump in industrial production and a fall in exports driven by the dire
performance of the global markets, and has been counting on households to smooth
down the effects of the economic cycle.
France's gross domestic product, the euro zone's second-largest, contracted
by 3.2% in the first quarter compared with a year earlier, data showed last month. The
GDP reading is the third worst figure on record after the spring of 1968, when France
was brought to a halt by the May strikes, and the winter of 1974, when the global oil
shock ravaged the economy.
Consumer spending figures for April were revised to show a 0.5% monthly
increase, lower than the 0.7% rise initially estimated. Yearly data were revised too,
with an initially estimated 0.6% increase cut to 0.5%.
In May, the purchase of durable goods rose 0.7%, less than the 1.9% increase
it posted in April. Car purchases rose 2.4% in May, after a 3.7% increase in April.
French business sentiment improved in June, as business leaders were slightly
more optimistic about both past and future production, data showed Tuesday.
The index measuring business leaders' confidence increased to 75 in June
from 73 the previous month, gradually recovering from its slump in March, when it
stood at its lowest level since the survey started in 1976, Insee said.
German consumer confidence for July improved slightly, according to a survey
published Tuesday by the GfK market research institute.
GfK's index for July rose to 2.9 from a revised 2.6, higher than widely expected
beforehand, according to ThomsonReuters. A survey of economists had predicted a
level of 2.5.
GfK's sub-indices, which refer to the month before the main index, ie. June,
also showed a general trend toward improving sentiment. The sub-index for
expectations for the economy rose to -22.6 from -28.3 in May, while the sub-index for
income expectations rose to -3.3 from -9.3 a month earlier.
The sub-index tracking consumers' propensity to buy also rose to 14.5 in June
from 12.5 in May.
The European Central Bank is on track to deliver a record-breaking “stimulus
by stealth” to the eurozone economy on Tuesday, as the first-ever offer of unlimited
one-year funds could see demand running into several hundred billion euros.
The size of the ECB’s emergency liquidity-boosting operation, which was
announced last month, is expected to be bolstered dramatically by the belief in
financial markets that eurozone official interest rates will not fall – and the opportunity
to borrow on such favourable conditions will not be repeated.
Analysts said demand was likely to exceed the previous record €348.6bn
($483bn), injected in a single ECB operation in December 2007.
“This could be a big final easing – by stealth,” said Erik Nielsen, European
economist at Goldman Sachs.
The Swiss franc dropped against the euro amid speculation bank officials sold
the currency to curb its advance.
The franc slid as much as 1.7 percent after trading earlier near the strongest
level versus the euro in almost a week. Neither the Swiss National Bank nor the Bank
for International Settlements would comment today on the reasons for the currency’s
turnaround.
“It appears they have stepped up the aggressiveness of their intervention,”
Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy in New York at Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co., wrote in a note to clients today. “Although actual confirmation remains
elusive, it appears that the SNB or a multilateral institution are” intervening.

39
 The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development raised its
forecast for the economy of its 30 member nations for the first time in two years as the
U.S. slump shows signs of easing.
The combined economy of the world’s most-industrialized countries will shrink
4.1 percent this year and grow 0.7 percent in 2010, the Paris-based group, which was
founded in 1961 to coordinate international economic policies, said today. The new
projections compare with March forecasts for contractions of 4.3 percent and 0.1
percent.
The recession in Germany, Europe’s largest economy, will be deeper than
previously expected this year as a global slump saps demand for the country’s
exports, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said.
German gross domestic product will drop 6.1 percent instead of a previously
projected 5.3 percent, the Paris-based organization said in its global economic outlook
published today. In 2010, the economy will expand 0.2 percent, it said.
The European Central Bank said it will lend banks 442 billion euros ($621
billion) for 12 months, the most it has ever allotted in an auction, as it steps up efforts
to unblock credit markets in the 16-nation euro region.
Sulzer AG, the world’s second- biggest maker of pumps, will cut 1,400 jobs
after predicting falling sales over the next two to three years.
The cuts, equal to about 11 percent of the Winterthur, Switzerland-based
company’s workforce, will mostly be made in Europe and the Americas. Annual sales
will fall by 5 percent to 8 percent over the next two to three years, Chief Executive
Officer Ton Buechner reiterated today on a conference call.
Russia’s economy will probably shrink 6.8 percent this year because the
government was slow to launch its anti-crisis plan, the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development said.

From an Interested Reader in Denmark:

Dear Sir,

I am a Danish citizen living in Denmark. I’m in a process of withdrawing my savings

from a pension scheme - because I’m afraid they won’t be able to live up to their
guarantees, when I retire 12-15 years from now. They say, that I will get 4,5 percent
every year in average. But they refuse to put that figure on a piece of paper, and sign it.
Furthermore they will not tell me, what kind of investments they will make with my
money – but as far as I can figure out – about 60-80 percent is put in bonds ranging
from mortgage bonds to Treasuries ie I’m afraid they will go bankrupt.
Now I am permitted - due to regulations in Denmark – to draw the money out –
equivalent of 250.000 USD – and place it in a bank. I cannot take it physical – unless I
pay 60 percent tax. But I can invest. If I subscribe to the International Forecaster – can I
find investment ideas there?? Or am I just crazy to jump out and take on the job of
defending my savings myself ??

I’m a foreign reporter at the largest tv network in Denmark. I’ve been in that position for
15 years now. This year I covered the G20 in London. The bushfires in Australia, the
swineflue in Mexico. In the years before I covered the tsunami in Indonesia, the war in
Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, Lebanon, earthquakes – etc. Now I see all the economic
turmoil – and for the first time I’m really worried. I’m would be very thankfull if you find
time to comment on my letter.

40
Best regards,

“As you can see people are concerned worldwide with the situation that has been
created by the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England. Had this person not been
exposed to the experiences he has been exposed too he probably wouldn’t be thinking
the way he is. The world has become a very scary place.” Your Editor

ENGLAND
Total SA, Europe’s largest oil refiner, said about 400 contract workers are
protesting outside its Lindsey plant in northern England as a dispute over job losses
spreads.
The refinery’s operations aren’t affected and no Total employees are involved,
Emily Cooper, a company spokeswoman, said today by telephone from Watford,
southern England.
The action started on June 11 as construction workers at the 221,000-barrel-a-
day refinery stopped work to protest job cuts by contracting companies. Sympathy
strikes have spread to at least eight U.K. power stations and two refineries besides
Lindsey. Output at those sites is unaffected.
More than 600 contractors at Lindsey were fired last week and told they could
reapply for their jobs. The workers burned their dismissal letters outside the plant
today, Steve Pryle, a spokesman for the GMB union, said by mobile phone. The union
will hold a demonstration at Lindsey from 6:30 a.m. local time tomorrow, he said.
“GMB will support the locked out and victimized workers and will demonstrate
that support with lawful and peaceful protests,” the union said in a statement dated
yesterday.
Total, based in Paris, has said it will hold talks with unions once contractors are
back at work.
Contract workers at other U.K. sites continued to join the protest today.
A total of 230 subcontracted employees at Britain’s biggest liquefied natural
gas import terminal walked out, South Hook LNG Terminal Co. said. Operations aren’t
affected, Lynda James, a company spokeswoman, said by phone.
About 300 contractors working at ConocoPhillips’s Humber refinery in
northeast England left today, while contractors are still protesting at Royal Dutch Shell
Plc’s Stanlow refinery in northwest England, the companies said, adding that
operations continue as normal.
Workers at power plants owned by Drax Group Plc, Electricite de France SA,
E.ON AG, RWE AG and Scottish & Southern Energy Plc also walked out. Electricity
production wasn’t affected, the companies said.
U.K. home sellers lowered asking prices in June for the first time in five months
as banks scaled back lending and required buyers to stump up bigger deposits,
Rightmove Plc said.
The average cost of a home slipped 0.4 percent to 226,436 pounds ($372,000)
from May, when it rose by 2.4 percent, the operator of the biggest U.K. residential
property Web site said today. Separately, business service companies will lose more

41
than 300,000 jobs within five years, the Centre for Economics and Business Research
said in a report.
U.K. mortgage lending slowed for the third straight month to an eight-
year low in May, but the outlook may be improving, data from the British
Bankers' Association showed Tuesday.
Seasonally adjusted net mortgage lending grew just GBP2.3 billion in
May. That was the smallest increase since March 2001 and compares with a
revised GBP2.5 billion increase in April.
A year earlier, lending grew GBP4.0 billion, the BBA said.
Net mortgage lending in April was originally reported as rising GBP2.7
billion.
However, the outlook may be improving as mortgage approvals picked
up for a second straight month to a 13-month high.
Mortgage approvals - a good forward-looking indicator for housing-
market activity - totaled 31,162 in May, the highest number since April 2008
and up from 29,018 in April.
Approvals also rose above year-earlier levels for the first time since
November 2006, data from the BBA showed. - In May 2008 approvals totaled
26,903.
BBA Mortgage Approvals rise to 31.2K.

JAPAN
Large Japanese firms were less pessimistic about the economy in the April-
June quarter than they were during the previous period, a Japanese government
survey showed Monday.
The large company business sentiment index of a survey, jointly conducted by
the Ministry of Finance and Cabinet Office, was at minus 22.4 in the second quarter,
better than minus 51.3 in the previous quarter.
The reading indicates most companies are less downbeat on business
conditions. The index is calculated by subtracting the percentage of companies saying
the economy is worsening from the percentage seeing improvement.

42
 The survey's result suggests that recent pickups in production and exports has
buoyed sentiment, increasing expectations that the Bank of Japan's closely watched
tankan business sentiment survey, due on July 1, may also point toward a bottoming
out.
The outlook index for big companies stood at minus 2.6 for the July-
September, and plus 8.7 for the October-December period.

HEALTH
FOODS THAT HELP PREVENT KIDNEY STONES
Kidney stones are a common urinary malady (too common) in the US. We can expect
approximately 10% of the US population (30 million) will have a problem with kidney
stones and a majority will be men. Males are three times more likely than women to
develop kidney stones and once you get them you are 40% more likely to keep getting
them over the next five years and 80% more likely over the next 25 years – unless you
make some changes.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES?

Are some people more prone to developing kidney stones than others? Some factors
that increase your risk are; heredity, infections, medications, metabolic malfunctions
and your diet. It should also be noted that Caucasians are more predisposed to
develop kidney stones than African Americans. You’re more likely to develop kidney
stones between the ages of 20 to 40 and if you take thyroid hormones and loop
diuretics.

HOW DO STONES DEVELOP?

The kidney stones are a hard crystal, which get separated from urine and accumulate
on the inner lining of the kidney. The stone is made of calcium, oxalate and phosphate.
When we don’t have the proper balance of chemicals in our urine to dissolve these
elements, we develop stones. So, what you eat affects the chemicals and crystal
content of your urine. So, what should we eat to help prevent the high buildup of
calcium, oxalate and phosphate in the urine? That’s easy – don’t eat the Western diet.
Countries that adopted the Western way of eating have a tenfold increase in kidney
stones.

TYPES OF KIDNEY STONES

Depending on your lifestyle and your family tree, you can develop specific types of
kidney stones. The calcium kidney stone is the most common when the calcium not
used by your body gets flushed out with urine. If the calcium hangs around it binds with
other waste materials in the kidneys and forms a stone. Another kind of stone is the
struvite, which contains magnesium and ammonia (a waste product). These usually
form after a urinary tract infection. The uric acid stone will form if you have too much
acid in your urine. The rarest form of kidney stone is the cystine stone, which the
cystine (elements that build muscle and nerves) builds up in the urine and causes
cystinosis.

43
SYMPTOMS
Most kidney stones can pass through the body undetected. It is the BIG stones that we
notice because they get stuck in the urinary tract and block the flow of urine, which
causes severe and persistent back or side pain. Other symptoms will be blood in the
urine, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, cloudy urine, urine that has a bad odor and a
burning sensation when urinating. Your physician will want to do a complete medical
history, physical exam and order diagnostic procedures. You may be subjected to a
series of x-rays of the kidneys and bladder with a dye injection through your vein. The
x-ray should show any tumors, stones or other reasons for malfunction. Of course
there is the urine analysis that checks for cells (white & red blood cells) and chemicals
(protein) in your urine. You will probably get the “jab” and have blood taken to see if
you have any unusual substances that would promote kidney stones. A renal
ultrasound will most likely be ordered to size up the diameter of the kidney stones, a
mass or a cyst.

PREVENTION
The National Institute of Diabetes and Kidney Disease recommends you drink more
water – 12 glasses per day to flush the kidneys. The beverages of choice they also
recommend drinking are fruit juice, coffee, tea and (gasp!) sodas. Drugs that are to
prevent calcium buildup are also prescribed. However, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of the
University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine in Philadelphia says to change your
diet and you will cut your risk in half. The Mayo Clinic agreed when their test case of
108 patients changed their eating habits and drank more water to have no kidney
stones for the next five years.

DIETARY CHANGES
What kind of diet is recommended? If you are prone to kidney stones people who cut
back on all meats (which reduced protein in the urine) had fewer if any stones. Cut the
meat portion to 2 to 4 ounces per day and boost the vegetable consumption.
Vegetarians have fewer stones according to a study done in Great Britain. This study
concluded that vegetable fiber was an antidote to kidney stones mainly because it
decreases the amount of calcium in the urine. Patients who went from vegetarian diets
to eating meat increased the calcium in the urine and their risk of kidney stones. Also a
study at Halifax Stone Clinic at Camp Hill Medical Center found that those who ate
more wheat or corn bran fiber dropped the calcium in the urine significantly and
reduced the reoccurrence of kidney stones by 60%.

THE ASIAN ELEMENT

After WWII the people of Japan started to eat more of a Western diet and their cases
of kidney stones tripled. A study done at Kinki University in Osaka tested 370 patients
and those that drank more water and ate more vegetables with meals (avoided large
dinners and ate early in the evening before bed) were 60% less likely to develop
kidney stones. Interesting enough was that this diet worked even if the patient had
high calcium in their urine and were taking prescribed medicines.

FOODS TO AVOID
Foods high in oxalate will produce more oxalate in the urine creating stones. Foods
such as; sweet potato, baked beans, blackberries, rhubarb and spinach, peanuts, tea
and chocolate. You are probably wondering about reducing your animal calcium foods
such as diary. Cutting back on this is not a bad idea but severe calcium restriction
boosts oxalate in the urine thus causing stones. The key would be to get your calcium

44
in your vegetables, fruits and herbs. The doctors of Harvard’s School of Public Health
conducted a large study for over four years and found that men who ate calcium
lowered their risk of stones by 34% over the men who restricted their calcium intake.
The study revealed that calcium helps prevent oxalate from entering the blood and
filtering through the kidneys. The study also said it was the calcium in natural foods
that did this and not calcium supplements.

BEVERAGE OF CHOICE
What is the beverage of choice if you are a kidney stone sufferer? Water and lots of it.
Restrict the alcohol to moderate consumption because alcohol boosts levels of calcium
and dilute the citrus juices with more water. Other beverages to avoid are; tea, hot
chocolate and sodas. These studies recommend that you drink two 8 oz. glasses of
water every four hours while awake.

OTHER ASSISTANCE
In addition to cleaning up the lifestyle there are medicinal herbs that can offer
assistance. Juniper berries have oils that have been known to help dissolve kidney
stones. The Juniper is excellent for disinfecting the urinary tract, kidneys and bladder
of bacteria, yeast and other microbes. Look for Juniper berries tincture at Apothecary
Herbs as well as their upgraded cleanse called Kidney/Bladder Cleanse Kit. Men who
have kidney stones will also benefit from the Prostate Kit (contains juniper berries) and

FDA Rejects New Limits On Mercury In Vaccines 2006-10-24, MSNBC/Associated
Press http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15405274

Federal health officials won’t put new restrictions on the use of a mercury-based
preservative in vaccines and other medicines. A group called the Coalition for Mercury-
free Drugs <http://mercury-freedrugs.org> petitioned the Food and Drug
Administration in 2004 seeking the restrictions on thimerosal, citing concerns that
the preservative is linked to autism. The FDA rejected the petition. Thimerosal, about
50 percent mercury by weight, has been used since the 1930s to kill microbes in vaccines.
There have been suspicions that thimerosal causes autism

46
<http://www.wanttoknow.info/050825mercuryautismlink> . However, studies that tracked
thousands of children consistently have found no association between the brain disorder
and the mercury-based preservative. Critics contend the studies are flawed. Since 2001,
all vaccines given to children 6 and younger have been either thimerosal-free or contained
only trace amounts of the preservative. Thimerosal has been phased out of some, but not
all, adult vaccines as well. Most doses of the flu vaccine still contain thimerosal. There
also are minute amounts of mercury, as thimerosal or phenylmercuric acetate, in roughly
45 eye ointments, nasal sprays and nasal solutions, the FDA said.
