Nope, no inflation here........from Rico
Nope, there's no inflaton here folks. Nothing to see. Move along now...
Only inside the magic-circle of the DC Beltway [Gov't and the FED] could any sentient, carbon-based life form look at the rising prices for beef and pork (certainly good news for Mr. Greenjeans) and conclude that prices are NOT heading higher, and that there is NO inflation 'problem'...ergo, another mainline injection of QE would not be a problem at all
Iran's First Line Of Defense Against Israel..........by Dan Friedman
Military history will record Israel’s failure to vanquish Hizbullah in the Second Lebanon War as one of the great strategic blunders in the modern era of warfare. Israel had the golden opportunity to sever Iran’s right arm in the region, but PM Olmert and his military commander Halutz botched it. Olmert would then go on to compound his mistake two years later in Gaza, leaving Hamas - Iran’s left arm in the region - intact. Today, both Hamas and Hizbullah have grown much stronger, and so has their controller, Iran.
Here is a summary of a report from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. You can read the whole thing right here. It shouldn’t be a mystery why Iran would put this “information” into the news stream now. They’re trying to scare off an attack on their nuclear weapons program by hyping the response. But you be the judge. Even if Iran isn’t bluffing, what would prove more costly, an elective attack before they get the H-bomb, or an obligatory attack after? Failing to act decisively now could be fatal.
In recent weeks Hizbullah leader Hasan Nasrallah held a series of meetings with his top-level military command as well as field commanders responsible for preparing for war with Israel. According to a source close to Hizbullah, Nasrallah's operational directive was that in the next military conflict with Israel, Hizbullah will hit Tel Aviv with missiles at the outset of the war, while also dispatching forces to conquer the Galilee.
Hizbullah forces are being trained to fire at least ten thousand missiles, right at the war's outset, at military and strategic targets such as airfields, military camps, and vital facilities including maritime ones, followed by the firing of rockets from launch sites whose location will come as a surprise to Israel.
The operational plan was formulated in tandem with senior Iranian strategic experts and will include a force of five thousand fighters who have recently trained in Iran, tasked with taking over designated zones in northern Israel including Nahariya, Shlomi, and Carmiel.
It was said that engineering units of the Iranian army had mined areas in the eastern Bekaa Valley that were seen as possible landing sites for Israeli special forces, and that Hizbullah had equipped itself with "smart" Iranian anti-tank missiles that can disrupt the defensive systems of Israel's Merkava tanks.
Nasrallah's recent escalation of public statements stems from heightened fear in Hizbullah that an Israeli and/or American attack on Iran is drawing nearer. As a strategic arm of Iran, Hizbullah sees itself as Iran's first line of defense against Israel.

Apart from the criminal conspiracy ACORN being curiously 'missing' from this summary of OWS supporters, this actually looks about right otherwise.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................from Rico
The "flight to safety" to the US Dollar is merely picking the best-looking horse at the glue factory.
It is unthinking, and quite foolish.
Run. Panic. Hide.
I think Bill Fleckensteain (and others) are right. Paper fiat is crashing in the next year or two. It's happened before, and it's happening now.
Self Contained?
One way to contain Persia's Preacher Command may just be to let the coming power vacuum in the ME suck it right up!
WoI Def Sec Brief

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta again forcefully advocated against automatic defense cuts that would occur should the deficit-cutting supercommittee fail to work out its own plan, lawmakers said Tuesday. - Politico

The U.S. Defense Department will brief F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) manufacturer Lockheed Martin within the next two days on the results of its "should-cost" review of the $382 billion stealth fighter program. – Defense News
Company officials, about to enter negotiations for the fifth tranche of low rate initial production (LRIP 5), say the dramatic reduction over the past 18 months in the amount of time it takes Lockheed mechanics to put together one of the complex stealth fighters is a sign the program is recovering from the crisis it faced in February 2010. – AOL Defense
As part of its ongoing export control reform initiative, the Obama administration is preparing to introduce new guidelines for the export of military aircraft, according to government and industry sources. – Defense News
As their annual budgets shrink, Pentagon officials must “adapt” their decisionmaking to ensure its manufacturing sector remains strong, and they even plan to “tailor” investments to protect some “niche firms,” Brett Lambert, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for manufacturing and industrial base policy, told a House Armed Services subcommittee. – The Hill

The Pentagon is offering field commanders control of counterintelligence operations to cope with the never-ceasing efforts by countries such as China, Iran and Israel to gain access to classified information and technology. – AOL Defense
Nuclear Weapons
According to scientists and officials, the United States’ weapons laboratories, armed with some of the fastest computers on the planet, are peering ever deeper into the mystery of how thermonuclear explosions occur, gaining an understanding that in some ways goes beyond what was learned from explosive tests, which ended in 1992. – Washington Post

The War
Lawyers representing detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, say authorities at the military base have begun reading privileged attorney-client communication — in a sharp break with past practice. – Washington Post
Andrew Krepinevich writes: For a relatively small effort on their part, in short, America's enemies could potentially impose enormous costs on its undersea economy, including loss of energy resources, damaged infrastructure and environmental degradation…Given the stakes involved, just as the U.S. and its allies developed the forces, capabilities and methods needed to defend their economic assets at sea during the Battle of the Atlantic, a similar effort is needed now with respect to America's undersea economic interests. The alternative is to hope for the best—and hope is not a strategy. – Wall Street Journal (subscription required)
Cybersecurity
At a global conference on Internet security, the U.S. and U.K. set out principles they hope will form the basis of international cooperation in Web governance, in which states would work together on issues such as security and copyright protection without imposing new restrictions on users. – Wall Street Journal (subscription required)

A clear pattern emerges.............from Rico
A clear "pattern" is emerging. This looting goes beyond crony-capitalism.
- It is state-sponsored financial and socio-economic terrorism.
The upper echelons of government, financial institutions, and regulatory agencies are now totally complicit, lawless, and corrupt.
- Did I fail to mention self-serving?
They were willing to wipe out GM bond holders, Solyndra investors, and now MF Global customers.
- What do you think they're willing to do to your 401k's, savings accounts, pension funds, and purchasing power?
It's NO coincidence that Corzine has direct ties to Obama.
- Former Democratic Governor of New Jersey, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, current head of the recently collapsed Manhattan brokerage MF Global (a primary dealer to the FED) and currently point-man/fund-raiser for Obama among Wallstreet banksters.
Think about it for a moment.
- This is bigger than Solyndra. But neither will get much coverage from the kept whores of the MSM, and what we don't know is hurting us...
