TF Metals hosts Jim Willie for another podcast here.
Here's the executive summary for those who can't spare an hour to listen to the whole thing:
Jim Willie “Golden Jackass”
- We could see the Euro stop trading on the FX markets.
- We could see no quotes on COMEX for gold, only spot futures.
- More “Bank Holidays” are coming in Spain & Italy.
- SWIFT system being replaced resulting in a move away from dollars, killing the USD as global reserve currency.
- There’s a new “Eastern Alliance” w/ Russia, China, Persian Gulf countries and (strangely) Germany.
- Creation of a Euro-Mark, possibly backed by gold.
- Russian Ruble backed by gold, oil, gas.
- Could lead to US Fed as the only remainder buyer of Treasuries, leading to default.
On Gold manipulation:
- US Fed is “Godfather” for group of US, Europe and Swiss Bankers.
- JP Morgan is the execution arm of Federal Reserve.
- Fed and Treasury coordinate the price of gold with currency exchange stabilization fund.
- Physical gold buying is being done by Eastern interests “off market” when paper price is beaten down.
- Big banks are being forced by Basil I and Basil II to sell gold to raise Tier 1 capital required by BIS. For a reminder on Tier I capital, the BIS and Basel click this link.
- FASB change of accounting rules essentially allowed banks to “grade their own papers” on loan assets marking them to whatever value they wanted: Mark-to-fantasy instead of mark-to-market.
On Treasury bonds:
- US Treasuries are a tower of Babel.
- A collapse will occur progressively.
- Not necessarily from higher interest rates.
- 69% of all Treasuries last year were bought by THE FED!!!
- Weimar meets Ponzi.
- Treasuries are becoming “black hole” sucking in assets.
- On the national debt:
- Believes we have a crash because debt commission is dysfunctional.
- Sees the US dollar split between foreign dollars and domestic dollars where foreign dollars are honored while domestic dollars are devalued 3 for 1.
- Treasury yield curve will resemble the heart monitor of a dead man: flat-lined.
On more QE:
- It never stopped.
- Japan just had yet another QE, been going on forever.
Conclusion:
As long as there is QE & ZIRP (zero interest rates) the
gold bull continues.
The real interest rates, zero minus inflation, is negative.
