Fed's Bullard sees rates on hold after QE2

Hah knew it! This is the first sign that there will be QE3, although it probably won't be called that. They can't raise rates because there is no recovery and doing so would completely wipe out 50% of the stock market. What does this mean. Higher gold and silver. Keep buying as much physical as you can.

Notice that the ratio has gone back to 44, as gold has climbed, while silver remains flat. The floor for silver at $35 is getting stronger with each passing day. Every time it goes below it bounces back up like a beach ball pushed under water. Every paycheck right now I am accumulating both phyzz and PSLV.

Hi Ho Silver.

Fed's Bullard sees rates on hold after QE2

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Reserve is likely to keep policy rates on hold after QE2 to provide more time to evaluate the strength of the U.S. economy, a top official said late Monday. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said the central bank is likely to keep its commitment of near-zero interest rates for an "extended period," after the expected June expiry of its asset purchases. "Past behavior of the Federal Open Market Committee indicates that the Committee sometimes puts policy on hold," he said, noting that a pause "gives the Committee more time to assess economic conditions." Speaking in Missouri, the St. Louis Fed president repeated calls for the central bank to abandon its use of core inflation, in favor of a wider measure. Bullard also warned that while commodity prices cannot continue to increase forever, "it is at least a reasonable hypothesis that global demand for energy will outstrip increased supply over the coming decades."

Calif. Must Release 37,000 Inmates

Time to get out of Cali I guess...

Supreme Court Rules California Must Free Tens of Thousands of Inmates

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/23/supreme-court-rules-california-free-tens-thousands-inmates/

A sharply divided Supreme Court Monday affirmed a controversial prisoner reduction plan forced on California prison administrators that requires the state to reduce its inmate population by tens-of-thousands to ease overcrowding.

The 5-4 decision authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a California native, is a wholesale acceptance of a ruling by a special three-judge panel tasked with resolving chronic overcrowding in the state's penal system. The February 2009 decision orders California to reduce its prison population that has at times run nearly double its capacity. Approximately 37,000 to 46,000 inmates will have to be released in order for the state to comply with the ruling.

The War on Ron Paul

"The federal government we live with today no longer serves the interests of the American people, but serves the special interests of: corporate cronyism; militarism for profit influence and empire; centrally planned debt management, counterfeiting, fraud and currency debasement. "

- Couldn't say it any better myself.

Whether the media establishments want to admit it or not, and believe me they don’t, Ron Paul IS the ‘front runner’ for the republican primary. Despite voracious denials and vitriolic arguments from almost every quarter to the contrary, he is the only one with a chance of shutting out Obama for the presidency in 2012. He appeals to all sides of the aisle, and is attracting the much sought after independent swing vote almost as fast as he has the youth of the nation. The Internet is indisputably Ron Paul country as countless polls and google trends have repeatedly shown. The gradual change in political rhetoric flowing out of Washington, D.C. over the last 3 years reflects an explosion of interest in the freedom message he spreads so tirelessly. The continuous growth in popularity of talk and news shows focusing on freedom and the Constitution broadcasts loud and clear the rising prominence of issues he has brought to the debate. For anyone with any powers of discernment, it’s a no-brainer.

How Long Will it Take If I Cash Out My 401K?

Food for thought.... I'd cash out and buy physical silver, gold, and platinum, but that's just me. Again look at the strength of gold today even in spite of the dollar gaining versus the euro. Gold and silver will probably go sideways for 1 more month, until an extension of stimulus is announced, then they will start their climb back up.

How Long Will it Take If I Cash Out My 401K?

http://www.ehow.com/info_8343663_long-cash-out-401k.html

By Ciaran John, eHow Contributor updated May 03, 2011

When you cash out your 401k retirement account, your account custodian has to sell all of the securities held inside the account. Depending on how you arrange to have the funds disbursed, it can take several days before you actually receive your funds. Additionally, you may not receive the entire account balance due to the vesting schedule and taxation.

Selling Mutual Funds
Typically, 401k accounts contain mutual funds and the share price of a mutual fund depends on the value of the underlying stocks and bonds. Mutual fund shares are sold once daily after the stock market closes for the day. You must place your sell order before the market closes, which means you do not know how much your shares will sell for since the share price depends on the closing value of the stocks and bonds in the fund. Federal securities laws require buyers and traders of securities to transfer funds for purchase transactions within three business days. However, no rule exists that specifies how quickly a fund company must disburse funds that result from a sale although most companies do disburse your funds within a few days of the sale.

Vesting
Your employer's 401k plan has a vesting schedule that specifies when you assume control of matching 401k contributions made by your employer. Some 401k plans have rules in place that mean that your employer's contributions do not technically become yours until two or three years after the contribution date. If you sell your 401k before your employer's contributions are vested, then you only receive the money that you contributed to the account yourself and your account earnings.

Taxes
Contributions to 401k accounts are made on a pre-tax basis and when you make a withdrawal your employer has to withhold 20 percent of your disbursement to cover federal income tax. If you are below the age of 59 1/2 you also have to pay a 10 percent premature withdrawal penalty tax. Your employer does not automatically withhold this 10-percent penalty from your disbursement. Due to the 20-percent tax withholding, you do not receive the entire amount that you had in your account.

Method
Investment firms can use a variety of different means to disburse your 401k funds. Typically, when you cash in your 401k, the fund company mails out a check and it can take seven to 10 days for this check to arrive. Many firms give you the option of having your funds sent by a wire transfer. This usually costs between $10 and $30, but allows you to receive your money on the day after the sale occurs. Therefore, if your 401k custodian processes your sale quickly and wires you the money, you can take receipt of your money within two or three days of placing your trade.

How the City of London Controls World Power ...

The more you know...

How the City of London Controls World Power ...

http://silverbearcafe.com/private/05.11/cityoflondon.html

What happened in the heart of Greater London in 1694 under the direction of King William III of the House of Orange? Well, that would be when King William privatized the Bank of England, established the City of London, and turned control of England's money over to an elite group of international bankers.

Like Vatican City, London City (not to be confused with Greater London) is a privately owned corporation operating under its own flag, with its own constitution and free from the legal constraints that govern the rest of us. And it was King William III in 1694 who paved the way for a private cartel of international bankers (money elite) to embark on a plan of implementing world governance, albeit secretly (that is until now, thanks to the Internet Reformation).

Find out more about how the power elite has built their base of global infrastructure for controlling world economies, media, politics and religion. Watch this telling video presentation.

Government Orders YouTube To Censor Protest Videos

Government Orders YouTube To Censor Protest Videos

http://www.infowars.com/government-orders-you-tube-to-censor-protest-videos/

In a frightening example of how the state is tightening its grip around the free Internet, it has emerged that You Tube is complying with thousands of requests from governments to censor and remove videos that show protests and other examples of citizens simply asserting their rights, while also deleting search terms by government mandate.

The latest example is You Tube’s compliance with a request from the British government to censor footage of the British Constitution Group’s Lawful Rebellion protest, during which they attempted to civilly arrest Judge Michael Peake at Birkenhead county court.

Peake was ruling on a case involving Roger Hayes, former member of UKIP, who has refused to pay council tax, both as a protest against the government’s treasonous activities in sacrificing Britain to globalist interests and as a result of Hayes clearly proving that council tax is illegal.

Hayes has embarked on an effort to legally prove that the enforced collection of council tax by government is unlawful because no contract has been agreed between the individual and the state. His argument is based on the sound legal principle that just like the council, Hayes can represent himself as a third party in court and that “Roger Hayes” is a corporation and must be treated as one in the eyes of the law.
The British government doesn’t want this kind of information going viral

Bob Chapman Predicts Hyperinflation by 2013

I don't have a link, because I heard it on the radio and a vid or audio hasn't been posted up yet. Bob Chapman today, predicts that not only will QE3 come in some form, but that inflation now is at 10%, next year will be 20-25%, and by 2013 we will have hyperinflation greater than 50%. He also thinks that the price of gold and silver put in this week is the bottom of the manipulation and higher from here.
