Please Forwrad to Romney or Someone on His Staff.....................by Dan Friedman

Why the hell are you on the defensive when Obama attacks Romney’s career at Bain or calls for the release of more tax returns - all to imply Romney’s hiding something? Don’t bring a softball to a game of hardball. Here’s a better idea, guys. “Mr. President, when you release your college transcripts and clear up the other questions you refuse to answer about your murky past, maybe then we can talk.” One retort from Mitt that sounds something like that and Obama and Axelrod will crawl back under a rock.

The 'missing' link...................from Rico

The major drought has been talked to death my the MSM, so let's skip that here.
- I'll only attach a USDA drought map and say it's bad and getting worse.

Corn futures (Dec) on the CME have already jumped over 50 percent because of the drought's impact on the corn crop.
- The 'smart' money is already positioning.

I have read about ranchers selling livestock because of the anticipated rise in the cost to feed them, and analysts tell us the price of meat will surely increase as a direct result.

So far, there has been a glaringly obvious link completely 'missing' from the MSM's narrative....drought-corn-ethanol.

The US Government's "ethanol policy" was boneheaded from the start (I know I am being redundant here). Subsidizing the diversion of foodstuffs into an inefficient fuel alternative as a sop to the 'greenies' (read: eco-fascists or eco-tards as you prefer) never made any sense, but the librul media absolutely LOVES the idea so maybe that's why they're keeping so quiet now.
- Besides, the 'dumb' money (the Taxpayer) has endlessly deep pockets for the Taxspenders to fish about in, so why worry or start making sense now?



The Bernanke speaks today.................from Rico

The Bernanke speaks today.

Meanwhile the markets patiently wait for the Oracle to speak, and will afterwards try to read the entrails and determine what was meant.

Here is one thing to look for, the rest can pretty much be ignored and disregarded as the FED talking its book:

IF the FED stops paying interest on excess reserves (they'll say it will increase bank lending to the private sector), it will REALLY force the banks to buy more sovereign debt (what the FED and Treasury/read: USG want).
- This will make commodity prices skyrocket (including Gold) and further tank the USD.

What's NOT to like from their lofty perspective at 30,000 feet?

Jewish Left Produces Another Front Group.....................from Dan Friedman

[The gap is widening between the decrepit Jewish-American left and the ever-stronger Jewish State of Israel. That in turn has allowed a certain amount of fear and hysteria to spread among the usual gang of wealthy Jewish buttinskies and kibitzers. With their (exaggerated) influence over Israel waning, the moneyed Jewish elites are now frantically trying to regroup and consolidate to make themselves appear powerful. Et voila!, their newest Potemkin organization. Letterhead, office space, Rolodex and website provided courtesy of the empty suits and their chump change. df]

Disgraced New York "pole" may have "one eye" on Gracie Mansion...from Mike Haltman at TPC



Anthony Weiner, disgraced politician who resigned from Congress due to a sexting scandal, may actually have the cojones to make a run for mayor of New York. 

However, in a majority Democrat city where being a disgraced politician never stopped anyone from getting into office and staying there (see Charlie Rangel), he might just do it.

Read the headlines at The Political Commentator here.

Coincidenc​e? Accident? I think NOT...

I have never seen anything like this before. Never!

My closing positions in CEF and PSLV last Friday, were EXACTLY my closing positions today (Monday). I don't mean "close" like in a game of horse shoes, but I mean to the exact penny in both positions. Both days. Unchanged. Something 'gives' but what?
[For Central Planners read: "What Gives?"]
- The 'odds' of this happening are much akin to those of getting the same number twice in a row spinning a roulette wheel. Impossible.

Coincidence? Accident?
- I am inclined to think NOT.

While it may indicate sloppiness and carelessness along with the certainty that the Putzes and Shmucks of the CFTC won't 'see' or 'say' or 'do' anything to market manipulators, it absolutely 'reeks' of a crooked table and a rigged casino.
- I think I'll watch Robert DeNiro in "Casino" tonight, since I'm in the mood for some reason...

Late news: There have been unconfirmed reports of iron archways being erected at the entrances to the CME and Wall Street saying "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who enter Here."
