On the heels of Spain asking for $125 billion to bail out their collapsing banking system…there will be a massive worldwide package coming out between the Fed, the ECB, the IMF and other central banks. The money printing is imminent. As I see things, we are on the road to perdition,…there is no exit strategy for the world (to get) out of these problems. There is no solution. If you look at what happened in 2008, people thought that was bad, but what’s going to happen, starting this year and in the next few years, will make 2008 look like a small rehearsal because the real collapse is going to start now.
So says Egon von Greyerz (www.matterhornassetmanagement.com) in edited excerpts from his interview with Eric King of King World News as brought to you by Lorimer Wilson, editor of www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!). This article must be included in any article reposting to avoid copyright infringement.
von Greyerz goes on to say, in part (the entire interview can be read here and heard by clicking here):
“We’re seeing every week, one domino after the next that is falling. So far they are only smaller dominos such as banks, smaller countries, etc.. No (major) country has fallen, but that will come. Every single economic figure is looking worse. World trade is declining — Chinese exports of steel were down 14% last month, U.S. exports to the eurozone were down 5% last month and that is likely to increase to minus 20% if not more.
The decline of world trade means the start of a depression”

Why are both debtors and creditors willing to build a status quo of massive unprecedented debt?

3. True Money Supply Is Already Hyperinflationary! What’s Next?
Economists are telling central banks to accelerate monetary growth even faster…to avoid a bank balance sheet implosion with all the deflationary consequences that implies.

When the supply of something is increased sharply relative to demand, the value of that commodity will decline. If the supply continues to increase rapidly and indefinitely, then that item will become worth less and less, with the potential to finally become nearly worthless. This is the Developing Disaster facing the US Dollar and the world. This is the factor that could become the single most important criterion in investment allocation decisions and possibly even for individual financial survival…[Let me explain this further by reviewing the 7 major problems facing the U.S. (and thus the world) and how they all will lead to problem #7 – devolution.] Words: 1520

8. Ayurveda: The Cure for the Virus that Plagues Our Financial System
Today’s western financial world operates much like government-sponsored medical systems. Mask the problem and give the bankers the pharmaceutical drugs (bail out money) to help them dull the pain and keep them on life support. Letting the free markets work in curing the ailment is not an option because then there would be little need for doctors (governments) or the manufacturers of these drugs (central banks). The banks are sick and should be allowed to pass on…so the virus known as debt does not affect the rest of the population. Unfortunately, the governments and central bankers have only one prescription drug of choice to keep them alive [and that seems to be the supposed cure-all of] printing money… [Let me explain further.] Words: 970
