Truth About Markets
Emperors with No Clothes
Chart from a presentation by Andy Smith at the LBMA conference in Rome.
Looking at the dips in the chart of the Roman Emperors it is interesting to note the two worst Emperors prior to the final collapse of Rome were Vespasian and his son Titus. They launched the most significant war in the Middle East of all time, in which Titus captured Jerusalem, sacked and destroyed the Second Temple and stole the Menorah. It was reported at the time that 1.1 million people died in the war and the Romans took 100,000 people as slaves. The Romans really did shock and awe better than anyone.

Quotes of the Week
"They'll say we're disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war" ~ Howard Zinn (US historian)
"Only the Paranoid Survive" ~ Andrew Grove (former Intel CEO)A little background on these quotes. I found the first one written on the bitcoin block chain of the wallet containing the bitcoins of The Silk Road website, currently in the hands of the FBI. The second as a chapter heading in the brilliant Robert Harris novel The Fear Index

Keiser Report: Working Class Debt Slaves
From RT
Published on Oct 5, 2013
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert, discuss David Cameron as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which causes the wealth of the nation to drop. They also discuss Continuous Payment Authorities as a metaphor for our financial systems continuously taking toll payments, whether via interest fees or inflation. Max also notes that David Cameron claims 'profits' is not a dirty word; and yet, to every major, successful corporation on Earth "profits' is, indeed, a word to be avoided at all costs. In the second half, Max interviews Dr Michael Hudson of michael-hudson.com about the global economic policies turning the UK into Greece and the U.S. into Latvia and a world in which only the little companies make profits.
