"The Fiscal Cliff is a Diversion from the Real Problem"
First post, so please cut me some slack here.
I looked everywhere and I don't see where anyone has posted this yet.

This is chilling! Even more chilling than your first post on GLP!!

This ad nauseum mention of the "Fiscal Cliff" is NOTHING compared to what is most probably coming!!!

STOP looking at the Fiscal Cliff and see what's coming behind it.

Snippet:
"The fiscal cliff is a less a crisis than a creation that diverts the attention of policymakers, the media and the public away from the big picture abyss that threatens the United States and shifts focus to the smaller and more immediate tax and spending debate associated with the year-end expiration of the Bush tax cuts.

The central problem facing the U.S. that few understand is the growing systemic risk from the unsustainable trajectory of deficit spending and debt accumulation and the $225 trillion derivatives exposure largely held by a handful of U.S. banks that are too big to fail."

More:

"But what is striking about the current debate is how relatively small the (Fiscal Cliff) numbers are compared to those associated with the greater problems of systemic risk that could precipitate a financial collapse:

•The U.S. Government bond market bubble that has grown 55% to $16.38 trillion in the first 4 years of the Obama administration, a sum which is now 107% of U.S. GDP and equals the entire debt accumulated in the first 225 years of America’s history.

•The $220 trillion in U.S. derivatives exposure held by JP Morgan, Bank of America, Citibank and Goldman Sachs, a sum which amounts to 3.3 times the entire world Gross Domestic Product."

Re: "The Fiscal Cliff is a Diversion from the Real Problem"
In simple terms: the real problem is the massive inflation. The fed will try to "hide" and miss report it (CPI is a cooked number) this inflation by taking away our purchasing by the means of taxation increase (about 800B) and cut gov. spending. They will (banks)use the freshly created money to buy their assets by dumping this money into circulation and increasing the money supply. So they need to hide this.
It's a great scam game they will play on us on robing us of our money.

We'll be lucky if that's all it does. No one is even seriously looking at this! People are starving in Greece, and those with doctorates are scavenging in dumpsters.

Even simpler: This is like a Band-Aid on the tiniest edge of Bayou Corne. Turn around and see the MASSIVE sinkhole behind you. Whenever someone is mesmerizing you with one hand, look to see where the other hand is.

This should be tomorrow's headline and taught in every high school in our nation.

I'm glad someone is paying attention, and Hey, thanks for the stars!

Re: "The Fiscal Cliff is a Diversion from the Real Problem"
Obama is hell bent on destroying the United States as soon as possible. We have been taken over by a radical Communist that makes Stalin look like child's play.

Republicans are trying to cope with no powers - and criticizing Boehner is like criticizing a lion for not hunting antelope because he's in a cage. So...the Republicans eat their own while Obama rubs his slimy hands together with an evil smirk.

Glenn Beck outlined what was going to happen a long time ago.

GLP'ers are like : It's the Illuminati, TPTB, red flag, hoax blah blah blah, anything but the fact we've been taken over by Communist radicals. It's much easier to "play" conspiracy theory than confront the truth.

Many of us are going to die, and soon. Either from violence from fellow Americans or under Obamacare. It will you and yours. Then everyone will be whining about how it's all Dick Cheney's fault, or some stupid ass thing until it's their turn to suffer, whereupon, on their deathbed, they will still be blaming Boehner or Romney or anybody who makes over $50,000 year. That's it.

My brother and sister in law are pretty well off, own their own business. They work over 60 hrs a week. They have ONE daughter. She has MS and they are ruining their own lives so she can be 'taken care of' when they die. They refuse to help their elderly parents or anyone else. They've got tens of thousands of dollars stashed away for the little tyke. Oh, I forgot to tell you, she's not a little tyke. She's in her 20's and working as an intern in Washington DC. She's a pansexual liberal freak bent on saving the planet through GREEN SHIT and thinks HOMOPHOBIA is the greatest threat to mankind. She hates everything that is good and decent in this world, except animals...she loves them. She's militant, probably dangerous, if not to herself, then others, though she drips peace...just like all Progressives.

So...what the hell has my brother and sis in law accomplished with their lives? They've worked their fingers to the bone for years so they could spawn the devil and keep feeding it and keep it in the lap of luxury.

Re: "The Fiscal Cliff is a Diversion from the Real Problem"
Great post Op. but our derivatives exposure is more like 1200 trillion when its all said and done.

Considering the GDP of the entire planet is only 80 trillion, you should sober up real quick.

We have no choice but to declare a jubilee. It will happen on its own regardless because we are infinitely way way beyond any capacity to fix it.

There is zero obligation and absolutely no point in you paying your bills. Unless you have a bit of the coward slave mentality in you still.

Money is so worthless at this point that its a laugh. How long can they trick the silly sheep??

Derivatives: The $600 Trillion Time Bomb That's Set To Explode


Do you want to know the real reason banks aren't lending and the PIIGS have control of the barnyard in Europe?

It's because risk in the $600 trillion derivatives market isn't evening out. To the contrary, it's growing increasingly concentrated among a select few banks, especially here in the United States.

In 2009, five banks held 80% of derivatives in America. Now, just four banks hold a staggering 95.9% of U.S. derivatives, according to a recent report from the Office of the Currency Comptroller.

The four banks in question: JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS).

Derivatives played a crucial role in bringing down the global economy, so you would think that the world's top policymakers would have reined these things in by now - but they haven't.

Instead of attacking the problem, regulators have let it spiral out of control, and the result is a $600 trillion time bomb called the derivatives market.

Think I'm exaggerating?

The notional value of the world's derivatives actually is estimated at more than $600 trillion. Notional value, of course, is the total value of a leveraged position's assets. This distinction is necessary because when you're talking about leveraged assets like options and derivatives, a little bit of money can control a disproportionately large position that may be as much as 5, 10, 30, or, in extreme cases, 100 times greater than investments that could be funded only in cash instruments.

The world's gross domestic product (GDP) is only about $65 trillion, or roughly 10.83% of the worldwide value of the global derivatives market, according to The Economist. So there is literally not enough money on the planet to backstop the banks trading these things if they run into trouble.


Compounding the problem is the fact that nobody even knows if the $600 trillion figure is accurate, because specialized derivatives vehicles like the credit default swaps that are now roiling Europe remain largely unregulated and unaccounted for.

Tick...Tick...Tick

To be fair, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) estimated the net notional value of uncollateralized derivatives risks is between $2 trillion and $8 trillion, which is still a staggering amount of money and well beyond the billions being talked about in Europe.

Imagine the fallout from a $600 trillion explosion if several banks went down at once. It would eclipse the collapse of Lehman Brothers in no uncertain terms.
