UPDATE:International Forecaster January 2009 - the Big Sting Two

After the implementation of the stimulus package gets underway, the Fed will give the word, and banks will start lending out their hoards of cash through the highly leveraged fractional reserve banking system, where interbank loans are now guaranteed by the FDIC (and therefore by you, the taxpayer, who funds the FDIC). Simultaneously, the yen will wimp out via Japanese banker collusion, re-powering the carry trade, thus driving the stock markets up for one final monster rally to complete the Big Sting Two. This means that Hanky-Panky, Bernanke & Co. no longer have a bazooka. Instead, they now have a rocket launcher, wired, with the next round in the firing chamber waiting for ignition, ready to re-inflate the economy for one last round of fun and profits. This last round of fun and profits will continue until hyperinflation extends the recession and causes double digit interest rate in order to properly compensate for risk and inflationary losses, at which point everything will lock up, IRS's will implode, and the world will fall into the one of the worst depressions of all time.

That is US government manipulation of all markets, 24/7. In particular gold and silver and the commodity markets. This abject corruption has destroyed our markets. Those who recognize what is going on have fled to safety of one form or another.
