No Inflation? Commodities Highest Ever For This Time Of Year
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/05/2013 11:56 -0500
While every central banker and policy-leech spews forth the government-supplied statistics on inflation – noting that all is well, carry on – we recently pointed out that Gas Prices are their highest ever for this time of year. Of course, the standard supply constraints (or technical) reasoning was applied to dismiss this as transitory (even though it has continued to rise since); but what is perhaps more worrisome is the broad-based nature of the real inflation that is leaking into our global supply chain. The 24-commodity heavy S&P GSCI index (widely recognized as a leading measure of general price movements and inflation in the world economy) has never been as high in early February as it is currently – ever. And with global growth stagnating at best, it seems a tough call to blame ‘recovery’ for this inflating (fastest pace in 8 years) raw material price leaking cost-push inflation (and margin-compression) into the real economy.
and the fastest rise in 8 years…

I’m busy entering in oil & gas equipment for 2013. We have 5-25% inflation in that equipment since last year. Last year we had double didget inflation as well. An average of 25% inflation over 2 years.

Who’s winning? On January 25th, 2013 , Mr. Lyndon Larouche, a well respected journalist and political activist received word from his sources within the United States government that President Barack Hussein Obama has been indicted by a Federal Court. Details of the indictment has been omitted by Larouche but he characterized them as probably the greatest indictment he has ever seen placed upon a standing president throughout history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX2dwrI_ZEw&feature=endscreen&NR=1

JIMSKI – it was a cut and paste from the link. I was dreaming that an impeachment might actually be possible. One can dream, no?

Chicago999444 – He was released in 1994 on parole. Ramsey Clark, who was LaRouche’s chief appellate attorney and a former U.S. Attorney General, said that LaRouche was denied a fair trial. The Court of Appeals unanimously rejected the appeal. (wikipedia)
Whether or not LaRouche was guilty I leave to others to decide but I do know there are too many criminals who should be in jail (Obama, Bernanke, Corzine and Holder to name a few) and way too many imprisoned for victimless crime (pot smokers). What a fecked up system.

I’m not a big fan of David Icke, he just gets way too distracted with all sorts of marginal weirdnesses, but there is a folder topic on his forum, the title of which I just love.
Best forum title ever. “Human race Get Off Your Knees”.
That says it all.
